Such wonderful news! 3 babies safely delivered within the last 4 days!   Congratulations to Anthony & Jolene, Gu & Charrell, Leon & Lynn and the arrival of their 2nd kid.  

Anthony, Gu, Charrell, Leon & Lynn are friends from IRC daz back in 1996.  Gosh! 12 years already.  Who says you can't form true friendship on the internet?   There's also Jeff & Elaine, Edwin, Jamieson and Desmond.  Other than the latter 3 whom had been sort of out-of-touch lately, the rest of us meet up regularly.  Two weeks back, we even had a pre-delivery celebration at Gu's house!  

My nickname was Meow (could tell I'm a cat-lover..) and since I was the oldest among the group, they called me Mommy Meow.  Back in 1996~97,  Hubs was overseas fairly often, Bryan stayed over at my mom's on weekdays and Rachel wasn't born yet.  So I was quite free weekdays. We would IRC late into the nights, have on-line games, meet up in the middle of the nights for coffee or go pubbing.   And for weekend outings, I would bring Bryan along.  The gang literally watched Bryan, and Rachel, grow up.  In a way I watched the gang grew too, from carefree youngsters into mature, responsible parents.  I'm so proud of everyone of them!   wah.. macam like I really their mom!  hahaha
