New Year 2010

Let me tell you all about my exciting weekend. This was actually the first holiday I have been on with Mummy and Daddy. Where did we go over the long weekend? Well, see the picture below! :)

Daddy and Mummy's friend Uncle Steven works for Perbadanan Bekalan Air Pulau Pinang (Mummy tells me that they supply fresh water to the whole of Penang!) and they have a holiday home in Batu Ferringhi for their employees. However, it has to be booked very much in advance because it is highly in demand as the rate is only RM50 a night! :) But Uncle Steven says that effective 1st January 2010 it has been increased to RM80. Whatever it is, it is still cheap for a HUGE bungalow! Look at some of the views that Daddy took of it. Isn't it nice?

Since the house was so big, Daddy brought my walker so I had plenty of place to run around! Oh, by the way, I wasn't the only little girl there. Uncle Kok Hsiang and Aunty Chia Yin brought Jie Jie Isabelle too, so I had a little friend to play with! :)

I think Mummy must have packed most of my toys. I was going outside to play ball with Daddy.

In the playground with Mummy:

And on the see-saw with Daddy!

After all that playing, it was time for a bath! Then Mummy changed me into a nice top and my new jeans. Mummy actually bought these jeans for me to wear during Chinese New Year, but when she brought it home and tried it on me, it fit just nicely! So Mummy said better let me wear it now in case I outgrow it by the time Chinese New Year comes! :p

We also went over to Hard Rock Hotel because it was just across the road from our bungalow. I took pictures with Daddy and Mummy next to the Christmas decorations in the hotel as well as on the beach. Isn't the Christmas tree pretty? This was also my first time at the beach.

I was not allowed to play on the beach since I am too small, but Daddy had fun playing with Jie Jie Isabelle! They made sandcastles. I will play and make sandcastles with you when I am bigger, ok Daddy?

At dinner time, everyone went for yummy seafood. I was more interested in Daddy's camera case though.

Jie Jie Isabelle loves to take pictures. So here are the both of us taking pictures. Jie Jie Isabelle, teach me how to pose and look in the camera, can?

Both of us with Mummy and then with Daddy:

Me alone with Mummy and Daddy:

Oh yes, we also went to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. We took some nice family photos, both the Tans and the Lims :)

I was so excited with the balloon! :)

Daddy and I also took photos outside the restaurant and also next to a statue of Michael Jackson. Daddy says MJ died recently but he gave us some nice music during his lifetime. Maybe when I am older I will be able to appreciate his music too!

Mummy also wanted a picture. I hear she's a big fan :)

Everyone then took photos outside the restaurant and also in front of the famous guitar. But I was fast asleep! I guess I was tired out from all the excitement.

It was a fun weekend, though! Take me again ok, Mummy and Daddy! :)

Happy New Year!

It is about just another 24 hours till the new year. This is going to be my first new year and I am going to celebrate it with Mummy and Daddy as well as their friends!

So anyway, till we meet again in 2010, here's a big smile from me to all of you!

Happy New Year 2010!!

Happy Boxing Day!

Today I turn 7 months old exactly. And not only that, it's the day after Christmas, which means...it's time to open presents!! :)

Today is also known as "Boxing Day". I wonder why...is it because there are many Christmas presents in boxes to be opened? According to Mummy, she read from the internet that the reason why it's called "Boxing Day" is because the upper class people during the Victorian era used to give food, clothing and money to their servants in boxes, hence the term "Boxing Day".
Another theory is that it came about because on "Boxing Day", the alms boxes placed in churches over the Christmas season were opened and the proceeds distributed to the poor. So now you know :)

Anyway, this morning I woke up early (as usual) so we had plenty of time to open presents before Daddy went to work! Here I am all ready to open presents. I am wearing a bib that Nanna got me from Australia. See what it says on the front :)



Here is my first present. This is from Jie Jie Zhen Yi and Jie Jie Candice. By the way, they woke up early too and came over from next door so we could all open presents together! :)



Ooohh...it's a green rabbit! I like it very much...and I like to put it into my mouth too!



Next was a present from Mummy:



What's inside? Rolling duckies! According to Mummy, this toy is supposed to encourage me to crawl. Well, we'll just see Mummy!



Then came my present from Daddy...he's helping me to open the present.



Yay! Musical keys from Daddy and rolling duckies from Mummy..I love my new toys! :)



I also got a present from Daddy and Mummy's friends Uncle Victor, Aunty Judy and their baby Veronica. It's a pair of new pyjamas! Nice or not?



Here I am with all my presents. Mummy and Daddy say I have too many toys already.



Mummy also bought Daddy a present. It's a new fragrance from Calvin Klein called ckfree. Daddy has always used Eternity by Calvin Klein but since they had this new fragrance, Mummy decided to get it for Daddy to try. And he likes it! :) But I was getting bored. Daddy, any more presents for me??




And everyone said this was the best present of all...from Daddy to Mummy...any guess what it is??



Ta-daa! Mummy likes it a lot, and I mean A LOT! :) It's for her to go shopping and buy whatever she likes...good leh... :) When I am bigger, I want this kind of present too, ok Daddy? ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

To all our blog viewers;

Festive seasons are around the corner... We would like to take this opportunity to wish you all "MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"

Best Wishes,

Of Youth Park and other things

We finally managed to make it to Youth Park over this long weekend, without rain, without me sleeping as soon as we got there (it has happened before!), and without any bother.

So, join me on my Youth Park adventure! :)

Below are some of the activities which I did there: I sat on the swing, but I was a bit scared so Mummy quickly carried me up, I sat on the see-saw, but I was only vaguely interested, as you can see on my face. What I did like, however, was the little tortoise thingy which could rock back and forth (I don't know what you call it), coupled with the fact that Ah Mah was making funny faces at me. See my smiley face in the bottom photo.

I also took some photos with Mummy and Daddy, but I was getting sleepy by then, hence the BCC look on my face. (BCC="bin chao chao" or "grumpy look" in English).

Even though I BCC, I still love it when Daddy plays "fly in the sky" with me. I laughed and screamed loudly. Mummy and Daddy quickly hushed me however, because I can scream very loud indeed!

Ah Mah and Ah Gong came to Youth Park too! I managed to take some nice photos with them. Everybody still says I look a lot like Ah Gong.

Later in the evening, I had a nice time playing with my toys with Jie Jie Pei Yi and Jie Jie Zhen Yi. I am wearing a new shirt that Mummy and Daddy bought for me at Gama yesterday. It was only 10 ringgit, cheap and good! Ah Mah likes me to wear these type of "holey" shirts because they are cool and comfortable.

So anyway, I was happily playing with my toys. However, all my toys go straight into my mouth. Mummy and Daddy will tell me "No, no" and I hesitate for a while because I sort of understand that I am not supposed to do that. Nevertheless, I am still too young to understand the consequences, so after a while I forget and happily put everything into my mouth again! :p Oh well, Mummy and Daddy, I will learn in time!

So that concludes our long weekend. Looking forward to two more in the following weeks! :)

Happy car-ride

Yesterday was a public holiday so Mummy and Daddy did not go to work. They wanted to take me to play at Youth Park (Again! No other place-kah, Mummy and Daddy? :p) However, it was raining practically the whole day yesterday so we couldn't go anywhere outdoors.

Anyway, Daddy then decided to take a drive across the bridge to Autocity to have lunch. (Penang nowhere to eat-ah, Daddy?)

Since it was raining so heavily, I had to use an umbrella so I wouldn't get wet. I was trying to be a big girl to help Mummy carry the umbrella. I held on to it so tightly and didn't want to let go! I probably thought that this was my new toy :) See my facial expression: I was so happy and excited about it! :)

Mummy says I have the potential to be the next Mary Poppins. Or how about Rihanna? Umbrella-ella-ella! :)

Later on in the car, I was soooo excited...Jie Jie Candice was making me laugh and laugh. Mummy and Daddy think these are some of the nicest photos of me smiling and laughing.

And this is Mummy's favourite picture from yesterday-I'm giving the sweetest smile of all time! :)

My expressive faces

Daddy managed to get lots of photos of my face this morning before my bath. See all my different expressions! :) Now that I'm older, I can make all kinds of funny faces :p

Look at my face on the right-hand picture. Blehhhh :p

Mummy had a good laugh at the right picture below. She says I look like a little old lady with no teeth! Well, Mummy, it's true that I don't have any teeth! :)

The photo on the left is my cheeky look, and the one on the right, I also don't know how to describe it! But Mummy and Daddy say it's a nice picture of me :)

Daddy likes the photo on the right very much; it's as if I'm saying "Whatcha looking at? Don't mess with me!"
