Ethan First Year Baby Album

We have been wanting to have a special album for our beloved baby since the day ethan is borned..we keep taking alot of photos..developed them into photos and put them into a nice album..we still find that is not good enuff..we want to have a professional baby album with family but can only take at one stage with different clothes..to my hubby, is like another wedding album, with less makeover..so we tink of a creative way to make it different for Ethan..is not jz another album..is one created by us..

My hubby bought a special lens that can take professional photos of our son. With his passion in photo-taking..he is super keen in taking pix of his son..every week, month and on special occasions..very effort of him indeed. This lazy mummy will take non-professional photos of ethan that will be critise by hubby! opps..

By end of 12 months..there are super lotza of pix..faintz. After months of choosing my baby photos (from a big chunk of his pictures newborn to 1 year old), it is really challenging for me and Andy as we have different opinions in determining which pix is nicer, cuter. Andy's main concern is whether the pix is CLEAR or not..some pose do look nice, yet not as clear, he would rather choose one that look not as nice but is definitely clearer..haha..

I thought the photo-selection process was very shiong liao...well, i'm wrong..the MOST challenging process is to DESIGN my baby album..i spend alot of time choosing cute pix from internet to design my baby album.

We have to plan the sequence of photos to put...from 0 month to 12 months..stages by stages (such as baby shower, 1st haircut, 1st CNY, 1st x'mas, etc..) thereafter a total 40 pages to design and crack my head...i'm not a very creative & artistic mummy..but i want my son to have an album design by his lovely mummy & daddy..so we put in SUPER lotza time & effort in it..

We finally managed to complete this wonderful gift for my son by end of May!

Soooo.. Happy! We were impressed when the album is delivered to us! I'm sure my son will love this 1st year baby album that is specially design by us when he grows up...is tailor-made specially for him..

Heng i have two facebook accounts..

I tort after leaving pru...my clients will stay in my 'sharon chew' account and i remain inactive overthere & focus on my "Yue Mei" account wif my frenz..

i'm wrong..my boss..wanna add me at facebook..in a way to be frenz..and to me, jz to monitor me, my activites and spy on my mind of thoughts at facebook..

sooner or later, my facebook of sharon chew account with a big pool of PRU colleagues & clients now will add in another big pool of AIA colleagues, agents, managers..what the F**K..mz seem to be politically correct to stay abit active over tat account again. sianz..y must be so fake in life?!

lucky i have a 'Yue Mei' account where i can put my family pix..true feelings in it..if not i'll go crazy!! argh..wat a nitemare..
