Ahfook’s Story

Happy birthday,
Han Ler, my son,
wish you have a wonderful day,
with your new pair of Converse,
bought by mummy.

I am sorry,
Han Ler, my son,
I am far far away from you,
with the important mission,
for better future.

I feel happy that,
you have grown,
healthy and happy,
I thank God for that,
although I don’t have a religion.

I feel unhappy that,
I couldn’t be with you,
in this important day,
after all,
everyone has 2-year-old birthday only for once.

Happy birthday,
Han Ler, my son,
wish you have a great year ahead,
a healthy one, a happy one.

Han Ler (at right) with his cousins during his birthday celebration last weekend. Thanks Rachel for sending me this precious photo.

These are the some special words that we used to communicate with Han Ler. Most of them are quite similar with other Chinese families, however there are some were invented by us.

I believe as time goes, more special words would appear in our conversations that you might not think of ;).

Last Saturday while Rachel was troubleshooting her company’s network, as usual Han Ler wanted Rachel to hug, so I’ve brought Han Ler into the room to have potrait session for him with my EF 50mm F1.8 II lens.

Here’s the gallery, enjoy.

One year ago, Rachel has gave birth to a cute little naughty boy, we named him Han Ler. Today, Han Ler is already 1 year old. In past 365 days, Han Ler has grown up healthy and naughty.

Han Ler getting more cute and active, until hyperactive, sleeps less and doesn’t like drink water. Due to his hyperactiveness, he did give us a lot of headache, but also gave us a lot of fun and inspiritions. We learn a lot during his growth.

Now Han Ler has several of tooth, knows how to clap, shows where is his stomach is, say ‘mum mum’ when wanna eat, and recently learnt how to wave hand to express ‘bye bye’ (although sometimes he forgets how). In another hand, he likes to be hug and carried instead of learn how to walk. He is very cool and seldom smile.

Last Sunday we just had a little party for him at my auntie Sally house, invited some relatives and closed friends. Due to lack of sleep, his mood wasn’t good at that night, after cutting the cake, he went to sleep while we slowly clearing up the stuffs.

That’s the story of Han Ler past 1 year, I believe more and more interesting stories are coming as he grow, stay tune

24th August 2007 was 12th of seventh month in Chinese lunar calendar, as well as my son Han Ler’s lunar calendar’s birthday. We had a little dinner together to celebrate with him at Pizza Hut behind of Ampang Point.

Han Ler was naughty and hyper active as usual, couldn’t sit quietly… So made us very hard to celebrate with him, very hard for me to snap him too… -_-” He likes to look around and grab everything that he could reach, but at the same time was crying for sleep.

Hope this little boy will keep his curiousity but with better patient as he grows.

Happy birthday
