Smile - Musical tribute to MJ

Beautiful and touching song.. Smile

Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You'll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

Instrumental Interlude

That's the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Baby Reytto's swimming routine

Baby Reytto still practicing his "newfound"walking skill even at poolside

Mummy, let's get back to the water......

Level up : New skill attained! Reytto goes underwater!

Water environment is no stranger to Baby Reytto, but still,

he needs security from mummy each time he 1st dip into water.

and.. I love these water moments with baby Reytto..

Reytto has been progressing quite fast at the rate of a 7 month old baby with little swimming coaching. He loves water so much that he can stay in the pool for 30 mins or so, day or night.

Mummy and Baby Reytto loves this particular session.

Both has free play of what they want to do.

Swimming Competition Heat 1

Heat 1 , Tub 3 : Yong Reytto Zavier

Instead of getting ready for competition,

baby reytto kept looking at the girl next door, oops! next mat...

Baby Reytto : i am so sleepy!! yet this mummy dragged me for swimming competition..

Baby Reytto looking at mummy doing silly moves...

Reytto has upgraded to Adult Pool

No more "tub" swimming for Reytto. 

We decided to introduce this "big ocean" to him since he is not afraid of water. 

This happy babe is sure enjoying his kickings, floating, and cooling familiar environment.

Happy 5 month old, Baby Reytto

This lifelong marathon reaches his 5th month. 

What an awesome month we have experience with baby Reytto. 

5 solid month, meaning we are very custom to his cries, his sleeping and feeding routine (or no routine at all?!), his chuckles, his every morning adorable cheeky yet so dear face as if greeting us a BIG GOOD MORNING. 

What's the progress? Baby Reytto is

• Very steady in his sitting position now.  
  
• Found his new skill - mouth. He can too make amazing sounds, action, boo boo "raspbery" bubble mix with saliva
• Less of those silent bo-gay (no teeth) smile, but loud chuckles
• Much more happier baby, less grumpy (though still does if he is thirsty, hungry, sleepy)
• Enjoy playing with anyone, Very sociable baby
• Great motor skill
• Trying to roll 
• Lesser fear of lying on his chest
• Found his 2nd best skill - using his little feet gripping toys, and my arm. (sound like those gong fu style - scissor leg. (hahah!)
• Into his learning program, and enjoys all the big flash Glen Doman card. 
• Into Postive Infant program and he love it!  

Oh .. did i mention that Baby Reytto can sit upright now?

I dream a dream - Les Miserables

Susan Boyle on Britains Got Talent 2009!! 

There was a time when men were kind,
And their voices were soft,
And their words inviting.
There was a time when love was blind,
And the world was a song,
And the song was exciting.
There was a time when it all went wrong...

I dreamed a dream in time gone by,
When hope was high and life, worth living.
I dreamed that love would never die,
I dreamed that God would be forgiving.
Then I was young and unafraid,
And dreams were made and used and wasted.
There was no ransom to be paid,
No song unsung, no wine, untasted.

But the tigers come at night,
With their voices soft as thunder,
As they tear your hope apart,
And they turn your dream to shame.

He slept a summer by my side,
He filled my days with endless wonder...
He took my childhood in his stride,
But he was gone when autumn came!

And still I dream he'll come to me,
That we will live the years together,
But there are dreams that cannot be,
And there are storms we cannot weather!

I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living,
So different now from what it seemed...
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed...

Jesus,Our saviour

Found this nice clip through Bernard Wong. 

Indeed, it helps us to recap how much Jesus had done for us. 

How Daddy God's one and only beloved son REDEEMED us from our sins and CONQUERED death on the third Day.

Happy Easter Day

What is Good Friday? Why we celebrate Easter Sunday? 

In simple, Jesus was crucified on Friday and rose again on Sunday....  

However, the bunnies and easter eggs has nothing got to do with Jesus' resurrection.  

Thus, while we are enjoying our long weekend, 

 let us focus and remember how much Jesus has done for us.

Happy 4th Month, Reytto

Blink! Blink!  We are into 4th month of the baby world?!  

Sometimes, I am really amazed with myself - once and still an impatience mum is still running this "baby marathon" steadily.  Perhaps that is mum's instinct to hang on those 3 hourly feed, irregular sleep at night, stamina to express milk, endurance with all these baby cries, etc, etc.... But when I see his smile, everything is worth it. 

So what's up with our little reytto? 

• He giggles his loudest this morning when i merely tickled him. 
• Sucking his own fingers and sometimes his whole hands. (wonder if it's tasty?!)  
• Chuckles soundlessly with the slightest tickles or play.
• Using his eye power to communicate with mummy.
• He loves sleeping on our adult pillow, especially daddy's. 
• He kicks mummy every night.
• He still scream his loudest if he get too hungry or bloated tummy.
• Oh... he loves to "talk", and want us to talk to him as well..  how much we understand each other?!  Yet, we still go eee, eee, ahh ahh..     his favorite word is parrot imitation "hello". 
• He watch soccer and screamed with daddy when Liverpool scored...  

Reytto's best buddy ---- Daddy!  

  

His favorite burp position! Only Daddy know baby Reytto's style!
