Hong Kong Disneyland
Daddy had a late night the day before so we all woke up late in the morning. While daddy was packing his luggage at the last minute, mummy had to quickly wake me up, wash & dress me & prepare for any last minutes things.
Amazingly, we managed to finish everything in 30mins & rushed to the airport. Mummy bought some snacks for our b'fast after check-in & we quickly rushed to the departure hall before the plane takes off without us.
We met up with Xian Yi & family in the aircraft, who were already sitting comfortably in their seats behind us.
This is the 1st time I'm travelling on an airplane & I'm really EXCITED. I chosed a seat next to the window & stared out intently during take-off. The view is really amazing!
Through-out the 3hrs journey, I busied myself with Cathay Pacific's goodie bag for kids (which contains lotsa stickers, colouring book, puppet etc), watching cartoon on TV & munching on biscuits. Mummy was glad that I didn't make any fuss during take-off & landing eventhough there was pressure difference & turbulence.
I made mummy & daddy laugh when I suddenly commented why they sounded like Mickey & Minnie whereas my own voice sounds like Donald Duck. Haha...
Once we landed at HK International airport, we made our way to the taxi stand for a ride to Disney Hollywood Hotel. It's a short 15mins ride & we admired the hilly views along the way. The weather was nice & breezy and everyone was in a good mood. The rooms were ready when we reached & I was really thrilled to see Mickey Mouse EVERYWHERE!
Not wanting to waste time, we quickly unpack our luggage & took a shuttle bus to Disneyland. We reached there at around 4pm & there wasn't much crowd. There wasn't any queues for the rides & theatre shows so we really did lotsa stuff before we had our dinner in the park. We had chinese cuisine for dinner & it's only so-so. Not really that fantastic.
Mid-way through our dinner, we heard 'bombing' sound & mummy quickly took me out to view the fireworks. It's both beautiful & frightening to me. I'm really scared of the loud sound but I couldn't turn my eyes away from the fireworks.
While we're on our way back to our hotel, I fell asleep in my pram & didn't wake up till the next morning.
The next day, I woke up super early at 7am & kept pestering mummy & daddy to bring me to the 'playground'. Mummy had a nice bubble bath with me & we're all famished by the time we're done. We quickly got dressed & headed downstairs to the hotel cafe for a simple b'fast of ham & cheese sandwiches, noodles & congee. The congee tasted really nice but I can't say much for the rest of the food.
Once Xiao Yi & family came down to join us for their bfast, we quickly headed to Disneyland once more. The hotel has a promotion where we can get 2-days park passes for the price of 1 & we're glad we're in time to enjoy this promotion. As we had recee the park the day before, we can plan our itinerary better today. We headed straight to the Disney Railway & took a nice ride to Fantasyland. As the crowd today was bigger as compared to yesterday, we took our own sweet time riding on all the rides & seeing all the shows, fufilling our hunger by eating lotsa popcorns which are sold in pushcarts found all over the park.
By the time we finished Fantasyland, Adventureland & Tomorrowland, it was time for lunch. The weather had turned colder today with very harsh winds & I kept complaining to mummy that my hands are cold, even though I had 3-layers of clothings on me. By the time we reached Royal Banquet, I had already dozed off in my pram. Thus mummy & daddy managed to have a nice leisurely lunch before I wake up.
I had a small accident today when I suddenly pee in my pants. Mummy didn't brought any extra clothings for me so she had no choice but to purchase new clothings & undies for me from the souvenier shop. The prices there are really outrageous! Mummy had originally wanted to buy only a bottom for me but the shop only carries tops & dresses. In the end, mummy bought a SGD$30 tennis dress & a SGD$30 pack of undies. OMG! The undies costs almost the same as the dress!
I was REALLY happy to be able to wear new clothes & mummy suspects if it was my motive all along. Ha! After lunch, we headed to our favourite rides & retook them all over again. I'm sad that I couldn't take the 2 rides that are restricted to kids of certain height but mummy assured me that we'll come here again next time when I'm older.
After catching the fireworks at night, we took the MTR to Sunny Bay & changed another train to Citygate. The MTR train has windows shaped like Mickey & the deco in the cabins are all disney-related. There's an outlet mall above the Citygate station so after finishing our Mac dinner, we did some last minute shopping. Xiao Yi & family were too tired to continue with the shopping trip so they left for hotel earlier while we ventured around the mall till I nagged at mummy & daddy to head 'home'. Again, I fell asleep in the cab on the way back till the next morning.
The next day, we didn't have anything planned so we took a leisurely long b'fast at the hotel cafe before heading outside to take some hols pixs. Afterwards, mummy brought me to this toy shop in the hotel where kids can do arts & crafts activities, play & read books for free. Daddy helped me out with my colourings in the toy shop while mummy did some last minute shopping in the hotel souvenier shop. Soon, Xiao Yi & family joined us & we while our time away before it's time to head to the airport.
The flight back home was uneventful although I kept nagging at mummy & daddy that I want to go back to 'Mickey's house' again.

Now that Mummy has been confirmed for her job, she can finally relax abit and took leave to spend some quality time with me during this 1-wk break.
We went to Vivo City with Ah Mah for tim sum @ Restaurant 88 & Da Yi joined us soon after. It was a nice brunch but I don't really fancy the taste. I only ate fried carrot cake towards the end of the meal. Soon after, I doze off in my pram while mummy & all shopped around, having a gd time. I took a 1.5hr nap & woke up just in time for a visit to Toyrus. I had lotsa fun playing with playdoh @ En Qi's hse the previous day so mummy decided to buy me one today. Mummy chosed the most reasonably priced set for me & I can hardly wait to play them.
I was feeling famished by the time we paid for our purchases so we all headed to Ya Kun @ Harbourfront & mummy ordered cheesy french toasts for me. I thought it was really yummy but Da Yi don't fancy it at all. Mummy was just happy that I finished all the toasts & didn't waste any food. I ran around all over the plc, popping into Gymboree to watch other kids playing with the gym equipements & sitting in all the kiddy rides (without coin inserted, of course).
Next, we proceeded back to Restaurant 88 for dinner. Ah Gong, Da Yi Zhang & Kai Kai joined us just in time. Restaurant 88 are having a promotion where each pax can order a set dinner (incls rice, soup, veg, dessert & choice of dish) for just $7.50/$9.50. We ordered cod fish, roasted duck, braised pork & seasonal veg and the bill comes up to abt $50 for 5 pax. I'm so happy seeing Kai Kai that I insisted on sitting near him & we enjoyed chasing after each other.
Mummy asked me if I enjoyed myself today & I said 'Yes, thank you mummy. I love you.' Mummy is so touched.

My 3rd Birthday!
I had an earlier celebration on Saturday with at Nai Nai's hse. Xiao Gu & family were sick so they couldn't join us. Nevertheless, Xiao Gu still took the effort to bake a birthday cake for me. It was shaped as a castle & it even had a princess & her pet cat!
The next day, mummy invited her family to our house for another round of celebration. This time, mummy ordered a Dora agar agar cake for me. Everyone else thought the cake is shaped after me. Haha...do I look like Dora? I had a good time eating all the nice food that daddy cooked & playing with Aissac kor kor & Ashley Jie jie.
Monday was a school day and Mummy surprises me with a birthday cake at my school! All my classmates were distracted when mummy was busy setting up the cake & Ms Irene had to shout for us to pay attention. Check out the pixs below...

I can piece PUZZLE!!
It was dinner time & Ah Mah taught me to piece the puzzles together while feeding me dinner. It was confusing at 1st but I kept practising but taking out & putting the puzzles back again & again.
Finally after 2 tries, I managed to piece the puzzles back all by myself! Mummy is so proud of me.

Monsters Vs Aliens
I was very excited as Ashely & Aisaac had kept talking to me about the movie. We had a simple lunch at Kim Gary Hong Kong Cafe then proceed to enter the theatre.
I thought the movie would be funny & entertaining but a few minutes into the movie, I was scared! The monsters & aliens scare me & I kept hiding my head onto mummy's shoulders. I urge mummy to bring me out but mummy told me the door is closed until the whole movie is over. I grew restless & suddenly saw other kids eating popcorns. I then pester mummy to buy popcorns for me but she again told me the door is close thus unable to go out & buy.
Finally after 1.5hrs, the movie ended & we headed out. Mummy & daddy didn't really like the movie as it's too lengthy & there's too much conversation.
We headed to Ya Kun Kaya Toast for tea while I enjoyed myself playing with the kiddy rides. By the time we headed home in the evening, I was fast asleep in the car & didn't wake up till 730pm.
What a day!

My First Time as Flower Gal
I'm supposed to be walking with Ashely together, hand in hand with flower baskets in our arms down the aisle at Auntie Shanice's wedding. Unfortunately, we're both down with fever a few days before the wedding & thus were cranky & fussy on the actual day.
We reached Holiday Inn Hotel early as we're supposed to rehearse for the march-in. Unfortunately, Xiao Yi & Ashely went to the wrong hotel. By the time they arrived, it was too late for rehearsal as guests had already started streaming in.
Mummy had to brief us briefly on the aisle direction as it was not a straight aisle. Soon, the door open & I can hear clappings & dry ice filling the aisle. Both Ashley & I were stunned for a moment. Mummy quickly nughed us forward & we started walking in. But we both forgot to throw the flowers & mummy had to show me. We were about 3/4 down the aisle when Ashely suddenly threw tantrums & shouted " I don't want!" and threw the basket with all the flowers on the floor. RIGHT in front of all the guests. Seeing Ashely's reaction, I also threw down my basket on the floor & ran away. Luckily Xiao Yi was nearby & quickly picked up the baskets & continued throwing the petals.
It was really embarrassing but luckily Auntie Shanice didn't mind. Afterall, we're still young kids but it's really hard to anticipate our mood & actions.
Through-out the whole wedding dinner, I have no appetite to eat and keep resting my head on the table. When mummy came back from the wash room after the 3rd dish, I had already fallen asleep in Daddy's arms. Mummy & daddy had to finish the rest of the dinner with me lying on their arms. By the time we left, it was already 11pm. We didn't stay for the dessert as my fever started again & mummy wanted to quickly rush home to feed me my fever medicine.

Trip to Animals Resort
Animals Resort is located in a secluded road near Jalan Kayu. We followed the road signs & parked our cars along the narrow road. I can hear dogs barking before we even reached the main gate. Seems like this is the place which provides dogs grooming too.
Besides dogs, there're also parrots, koi fishes, goat, roosters, peacock, rabbits and hamsters. For $2, we get 3 types of feed for the animals. I enjoyed myself so much feeding the rabbits & goat. I guess the rabbits are too pampered as they dun seemed too eager abt the feed. They'll rather laze around staring at us.
Soon, it's getting hotter during noon time so we headed indoors to checkout the dogs. It's a pity that all the dogs are being kept in cages. I'm not sure why they're in cages but they seemed sad. Some of them are so excited to see us that they kept barking & jumping around their cages.
Mummy tried to tease them with her fingers outside the glass cages, but silly me, I kept pushing mummy's hands away for fear of her being biten by the dogs.
I hope mummy & daddy will bring me there again soon!

Singapore Flyer Night Flight
Finally, mummy & daddy took me to Singapore Flyer today. Actually I've been to Singapore Flyer afternoon flight before, but I was then too young & couldn't remember much. So mummy decided to bring me there again to recapture the moments & scenaric view, but this time, it'll be at night.
We had a nice dinner at the Hainanese Chicken Rice restaurant opposite Raffles Hotel, courtesy of Da Yi & Da Yi Zhang. But as it was still too early & bright after dinner ended, daddy decided to head down to Marina Sq to chill out in the air-conditioned mall while munching on yumming ice-cream. We ordered 5 different flavours of ice-cream but I only like Pistachio nut ice-cream.
We finally headed down to Singapore Flyer at 8pm. We bought the 8pm flight tickets & immediately boarded the capsules. The capsule was quite dark, save for some errie-looking blue light. This time, the view & scenary was vastly different as compared to our last visit. The city skyline looks like jewels shinning against the water reflection. We were all fanscinated. Mummy & daddy were busy taking photographs while I kept running around the capsule, climbing up & down the benches, annoying the other passangers in the process.
The flight finally ended after 30mins & we proceeded to the counter to purchase our 'superimposed' tourist-sy photo.

Outing to Sentosa
Mummy arranged to meet Auntie ylc & Caitlin at Vivocity at 330pm so she readjusted by nap time earlier in order to leave the house on time.
When we reached there, Auntie ylc & Caitlin were already shopping around. I was feeling hungry so we headed straight to Ya Kun at Harbourfront for some toasted bread & tea. While we're there, Caitlin & I were so distracted by the candy vending machine and kiddy rides that we soon forgot about being hungry. Ended up, mummy & auntie ylc are the ones munching away. Haha.
The weather today seems nice & cool so mummy & auntie ylc decided to head down to Sentosa to watch the fountains near the Merlion & visit the Butterfly Park. We took a tram from Vivo sStation to Imbiah Station.
We had fun taking photos with the flowers arrangements, waterfalls & water fountains. We were on our way to Butterfly Park when it started to drizzle. We quickly rushed back to the tram station & had a nice dinner at Harbourfront.

Bye-byes
In this case, mummy has no choice but to withdraw me out from the existing school & switch me to another school near Ah Mah's house so it'll be easier for Ah Mah in terms of travelling distance & convenience sake.
I'm sad to leave my school and apparently so are my teachers. Mummy managed to exchange some SMSes with Teacher Angie and she mentioned to bring me back for visits whenever we're free.
The next day, mummy brought me back to school for a short visit cos Teacher Angie had bought a farewell gift for me & had specifically asked mummy to bring me along to collect it. She had also brought along camera so we can have photos as keepsake.
