Saying Goodbyes to the Babies

First up: fat baby Caleb. Awww he had his fat lil arm on my shoulder! *melt

My absolute favourite photo... we both looked so weird haha... he looked like he saw something scary.

 *cheek to cheek*

Enough, Ee Ee!!!!!!!!!

 Big brother Isaac was next. Man, he was getting heavy!

 *cheek to cheek*????

you know you love me..........

Jasper finally woke up so I got to cuddle him for a bit too. My smile said "I'm scared cos he is not as sturdy as Caleb!!!!" hehehe.

Arrrrgggggggggggggh too freaking adorable. Jasper was cute too. LOL at his expression.

Mum wanted to get in on the action too.

Then Dad did as well.

 Eh what the? They hijacked my moment with Jasper....

Also said goodbye to unborn babies in the royal vessel.

Bye babies... i miss you all................ <3 p="">

Last Dinner in Auckland

All good things come to an end so it was time to bid Auckland goodbye again. For my last meal in town, we went to Ravitz in Ellerslie for my to-eat butter chicken.

Isaac blowing raspberries at Gong Gong.

 Gong Gong returning the favour.

 Not the best shot.....

Cheeky monkey...

Pouting....

 He must be good at breathing... hehehehe.

Contemplating something......

Mei tried to get Hong to sleep for a bit.

Not a chance, buddy!

 Mixed entree plate... didn't need this.

Ahhhh butter chicken. The ones in London taste different.

Lamb korma

Biryani rice... this was not a usual Hii dish but it was yum.

Garlic naans.

Next stop: Korean BBQ

One of my to-eat things in Auckland is Korean and I meant the cheap and nasty korean but Mel had other ideas so we went to the usual Korean BBQ place in Albany for lunch. 

This was taken after lunch so I think they were rubbing their full stomachs... either that or they were mocking Lin by pretending their stomachs are huge.....

.... compared to hers..... YOU AREN'T FAT, YOU HAVE TWINS INSIDE... for the last time.

Isaac got to sit next to popo

 Wow what's with the Hii look, Isaac????

 The babies didn't come so he got everyone's attention for once. Poor bubs is not used to being out of the limelight.

Beef being bbq-ed by Chef Gavin...

 Sides which could be refilled unlimitedly.... but they were yucky sides. Where was my potatoes and seaweed darn it????

Isaac eating one of the sides - korean pancake.

Pork bulgogi....

Beef bulgogi with onions (blurh)

Fiona's Birthday Dinner!

 Went to Fiona and Gavin's favourite restaurant for her birthday dinner. She is a January baby so usually has the luxury of having all or most of the family around for her birthday. Only Jennifer and Monica were missing this time around.

Kakak on nanny duty....

This is a copycat restaurant based on a celebrity-owned chain in Asia. We had it in China and Fiona also had it in Taiwan.

Chit-chatting before dinner because once the food gets here, the Hiis stop talking!

In their own world as usual..... you are not newly weds anymore, people!!!!!!!

Her Majesty's royal tum.

Dad looked like he was anticipating an entertaining night of good food and wine.

Isaac was in a bashful mood.

Cold dish #1: Spicy wood ear.

 Cold dish #2: Pickled cucumbers

Hot dish #1: Super tender and juicy steamed blue cod. LOVE.

Hot dish #2: Ah Here's eyes.... Andrew was in heaven despite his gout acting up.

 Hot dish #3: Stir fried kidneys

Hot dish #4: Deep fried prawn cakes... always a crowd pleaser.

Hot dish #5: Beef hot pot... sooo good.

Hot dish #6: Obligatory veges dish.

Complimentary dessert: My love, red bean soup!

Caleb woke up and started blowing me love bubbles..... <3!!

Flirty look:

 Ngiao ji face.....

Usual bimbo look:

 Family portrait... the kid has my hair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then we went home and cut the obligatory cake... yam cake.. everyone's favourite.

Aw cutie pie....

Usual mouth open blank stare look.....

With gong gong and popo...

 Looking shifty for some reason....

He wasn't strong enough and instead of blowing the candle out, he spat his saliva all over the cake.. Did Andrew have any?????

Happy 34th, Ah Pei.
