Welcome to our world!

My chinese name is Yin Ling and baby Minori's unofficial middle name is Yen. Both Yin and Yen mean swallow (as in the bird) in chinese. The same swallows that migrate to Malaysia in winter to escape the cold return to Japan when the weather begins to warm up. Like the swallows here, together with daddy, we make our trips between the two countries. Isn't it nice to have two places we can call home?

The copy cat

M is still at the "copy cat" stage and is really quite hilarious to watch. Every day, she does things that she's observed a minute ago, days ago or a year ago. And she observes things that we won't usually... for example, we would walk into the grocery store and she would go "dog! dog!" and we'll be looking around... "what dog?", before we see a tacky-looking poster of a dog, presumably the product mascot, hanging beyond eye-level at some forsaken corner. Daddy and I are now on high alert when it comes to what we say and do with her or with other people.

Here are some other "copy cat" examples:

"The fries look good. I'll have fries with that!"

"No better way to start the day than with the morning paper!"
