Cobcob 的艺术照(七个月)

本来放上来的是Cobcob的背部全身照。但妈妈觉得放在网上不好，所以把下半身的部分剪掉。

Cobcob 长得最像谁？

Cobcob 穿西装 （八个月）

这西装是Cobcob在马来西亚参加舅舅婚礼时穿的。Cobcob 穿西装像似小帅哥的。

这西装时是从谦谦哥哥那里借来的。这西装缺了领带，我们后来在吉隆坡一家超大的1 Utama Shopping Centre 找到这个美丽又好看的蝶形领结。Note: 我们在Shopping Mall 里头走马看花的逛了七个小时，好像只是逛了一半而已。

两颗牙 （九个月）

我六个月的时候开始长牙，但到现在我还是只有这两颗牙。人家April比我迟长牙，现在都已经长了四、五颗牙了。

大统华 T&T

哈哈。。。大统华 终于要在渥太华开分行了。地点听说是在Hunt Club 与 Riverside 交界附近。离我上班的地方很近哦。

Cobcob 九个月大了

离开渥太华一个多月回来，叔叔、阿姨们都说我长大了。有些人讲我长胖了、有些人讲我长高了、有些人讲我比上个月更灵活。

回到渥太华了

我们回来了！回去跟家人相聚真是太好了。什么都好，只是时间不够长。回去五周之后，我们还是得回来。虽然是舍不得离开，但天下哪有不会散之宴席。回来后还有厚厚的雪等着我们来铲。

Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur

Good memory is being kept, by taking a few photos at the Petronas Twin Towers. Too bad that we didn't have time to shop at the KLCC right below the towers. It is one of the largest shopping mall in Malaysia.

Attending worship in Singapore

We are in Singapore from Nov 30 to Dec 6. While in Singapore, we attended the church service at the Harvest City Church on Sunday. The church has its service in Jurong West and Expo Hall. We attended the one in Jurong West, together with over 2500 brothers and sisters.

The Harvest City Church is the largest church in Singapore (2nd largest in Asia), which has more than 23,000 members and 600 cell groups. It is a charismatic, but I enjoy the service as I do in my more conservative traditional church in Ottawa. The worship is Rock & Roll and music is the loudest I ever observed. The Apostle's Creed was being recited after the singing.

The 55% of the attendees are under the age of 25. I am so amazed that these young people are so willing to serve God. Their welcome team are so well organized. There was one young brother named Junping who accompanied me to the auditorium and sit beside me to assist me (as a first time comer).

One thing impressed me the most is that these young people are bringing their own bibles to the church. When the pastor asked if they are bring their bible, everybody is holding up their bible and say yes. They are encouraged to read God's word and live it out. Another thing that impressed me the most is that everybody is writing notes as the pastor preach.

Apostle's Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth,and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:Who was conceived of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell.The third day He arose again from the dead.He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty,whence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church,the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.Amen.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 & Adobe Premiere Elements 4 Bundle

Well, well, well... our desktop computer broke down last week, but we really thank God that we manage to rescue all our precious photos out of the hard drive. Since then we have no access to the Photoshop for photo editing.

Now, we need a copy of Photoshop for our laptop, and we managed to grab a copy of Photoshop and Premiere bundle at $135 plus tax at Future Shop. It costs a bit, but it is a genuine software. I was tempted to download a copy from internet, but a simply WWJD really helps me to make the right decision.

Cobcob and Bible

我们在Cobcob两个月大的时候在Amazon.ca买了一本婴儿圣经。在四个月大的时候，他只会啃圣经。现在七个月大的他至少会让爸爸讲一两分钟的圣经故事给他听。

Fun time with mummy in the kitchen

Fun time with mummy in the kitchen. Don't forget to turn on your speaker to listen Cobcob cackling.

Cobcob's 小肥猪腿

一个朋友提醒我们要记得拍Cobcob的小肥猪腿。这是上个月在Gatineau Park拍的。

Our trip to Wakefield

We started to fall in love with this little town when we took the 1907 built Steam Train to Wakefield in 2003 fall. It is a beautiful town located north of Ottawa, 50 minutes away from our home. Click here to see more photos of Wakefield.
Driving along Highway 5 in the fall was a thrilling experience. The scenic colorful picture along the highway is just like the one in the fairy tales. It really made my heart open and to praise God for this wonderful creation.

Ever wonder what kind of chemistry God added onto the Autumn colors? Click here to find out.

When you arrive there, it is always a good idea to check with locals or the Info Center for the steam train's arrival time. Then you can start to tour the town. You can go to see the historical red covered bridge, or just walking along the riverside, take some photos, and do windows shopping. You can even stop by a restaurant for a cup of coffee or hot soup. Trust me, it is chilly out there and that will certainly help to warm you up. :)

This time, we went to the Chamberlin's Lookout for our "afternoon tea" 30 minutes before the train arrived. It was not really "afternoon tea" for us, because I ordered a hot soup and Doreen ordered a cup of latte. This place is a great place to see the train as it is located at the 2nd floor of the supermarket next to the train station. We went out to the restaurant's balcony to see the train's coming.

Took a few hundreds of photos during the trip. Here are a few Cobcob's photos to share:
Below is the map to Wakefield from our place:

Cobcob 第一个生病

Cobcob生病了。前天晚上开始咳嗽，睡觉时也有鼻塞。昨天发烧两次，但吃了baby Tylenol后烧也退了。他睡觉时因鼻塞的缘故，发出像asthma的声音把妈妈吓坏。昨天早上打电话问nurse，昨天晚上又打一通电话问nurse，今早再去看医生，都诊断没有太大问题。因为他还小，医生不给吃药，现在只能靠他自己慢慢的恢复。

FYI: If you stay in Ontario, you can talk to a registered nurse at anytime.

CPR Training

Learning CPR is so important. We could be saving the life of our family member or our friend. Once the heart stops beating, every second counts. For every minute that passes without CPR, the chance of surviving of the patient drops by 10%. Usually by the time paramedic arrives, the window of opportunity has passed.

Did you know?
The American Heart Association estimates that 80 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home and that 60 percent are witnessed by other people.

Well, I was so determined to acquire this lifesaving skill, that I checked the CPR webpage on weekly basis, after knowing that the City of Ottawa might be offering CPR course to the public in fall. Finally, I went to attend the CPR (level C) and AED training last weekends. This is the 2nd CPR course I attended since I last attended one 10 years ago. (Opps... I supposed to renew it every 2 years.)

Note: If you are in Ottawa, you can take the free CPR and AED Training from the ottawa.ca website. Click here.
