Gold Coast !

The trip started off well enough, no delays on our Tiger Airways flight, small drama at the airport when they confiscated my Swiss card, but all in all everything was fine.

Arrived at Gold Coast, picked up our rented car and off to check in at the hotel. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Surfers Paradise, which had a beautiful view of the ocean.

Here's how the room looks like, nice and spacious with 2 double beds!!!

After a quick change of clothes (temperature was a good 10 degrees warmer than Sydney!) we headed to Sea World!

Spent the rest of the afternoon at the Sesame Street Beach getting my fill of rides with the Sesame Street characters. We also went back again the next day, just to get full value of our unlimited passes! *kiasu*



I even got to Meet and greet Elmo and cookie monster!!! *Happiness*

Big smiles from me after that!

Also saw the sharks, polar bears, dolphins etc but didn't take many pictures, here's one of the fishes!Daddy wanted to sit on this ride, but I was 5 cm too short! LOL!

Off to Movie World next!! That's me - just woke up!
Watched a Shrek animation movie
Sat on some Looney Tunes rides - hi Bugs!

All in all, good trip - we had very nice weather and very nice experience there. Would have been quite perfect if not for the fact that our flight home got cancelled! That soured the whole thing, but never mind, it was out of our control...

Here's a picture of the sunrise from our room!
Nice purplish hues :)

Me - at Surfers Paradise!

THAT'S ALL, FOLKS!

Satu, Satu, Aku Sayang Ibu

Hehe... hello folks, long time no blog.
Mummy's been busy coz she had exams.
We decided to head to the Gold Coast for a self declared long weekend last Friday, and had a great time there, but the trip was somewhat dampened by our flight home being cancelled.
In the end, we had to book ourselves onto another airline provider and arrived home a few hours later!

Will put up some pics of our Gold Coast trip soon, in the meantime, see how I kept mummy entertained at the airport whilst waiting to board our very delayed plane home.

I'm singing an Indonesian song that I learnt from daycare...
In case you can't catch what I'm singing, the lyrics are as follows:

Satu, satu, aku sayang ibu
Dua, dua, juga sayang ayah
Tiga, tiga, sayang adik kakak
Satu, dua, tiga, sayang semuanya!




Heheheeh.... Enjoy the entertainment. Please ignore my eyebags and various scratches on my face - did not get my usual 12 hours sleep whilst we were on holiday!

Taking toilet training to new levels... literally!

As you may or may not know, mummy's been trying VERY VERY hard to get me to start using the toilet.

So far, it's resulted in many many failed attempts - read: pee / poo on floor and carpet!

That's why, this time, mummy decided to buy a canggih toilet seat with ladder to entice me to start using the proper toilet. That way, it will also give mummy less work, ie no need to wash potty!!!

Check out the cool contraption below:

It fits so neatly onto the toilet seat, very good!

Nao, check out the toilet training in action...



Looks good, right?

But after all that, I still pee-ed on the floor! #$%^&!

Lack of Updates

This blog has not been updated for the last 3 weeks, because:

1. Mummy been super busy at work

2. Mummy got exams next week

3. I've been sick

4. All of the above have resulted in us doing nothing much on the weekends, thus leading to lack of blogable material!

Today, however, mummy is on study leave and decided to update my blog cause she's taking a break (actually I think she's just procrastinating from her studying).

Anyways, it was Mother's day a few wkends back, so I made mummy a card!

Here's the front of the card - Nice or not?

And here's the inside! Love-shaped wan, but I look a bit funny in this photo!

Daddy also bought mummy a present - Cooking Mama Wii Game, too bad Aunty Ally is not here, I'm sure she would have loved this game coz it's very competitive. I'm not bad myself, I can do the "cracking egg" and "opening can" tasks.

Then, we had a buffet lunch at the Intercontinental Hotel,

of which daddy stuffed himself silly - he had entree - mains - dessert - mains again - desserts again - so many rounds of food!

Mother-daughter shot! (Eva's face blocked by the jelly bean in her hand!)

Family shot!

(ALL PICS ABOVE TAKEN WITH MY BLACKBERRY BOLD, quite nice and clear!)

Since we haven't been up to much, mummy decided to do a bit of "research" to validate some comments that people have made - ie my face hasn't changed much since baby days.

Let's see here I am @ 6+ months

vs @ present

Look the same ah?!

Day out at Manly

Sorry for the lack of posts!

Was in Melbourne last weekend to visit Ah Mah and Kong Kong and Aunty Peg Jee, followed by Aunty Alison and Uncle Azraai's visit to Sydney the following week so I was VERY busy playing host.

Decided to take the ferry from Circular Quay to Manly yesterday, MY FIRST FERRY TRIP!

I was so excited!!!

Started the day with big brekkie at Le Pain Quotidien, we had eggs, croissants, breads with various jams and spreads.. Aunty Ally you should SO bring this franchise to Msia!

Excuse my face full of crumbs hehee, from the pain au chocolat!

Then, we boarded the ferry with VERY FULL tummies!

Family pic!!! Me with the grimace smile!!

Close up of the Harbour Bridge and Opera House...

We have arrived @ Manly!!! :)

Hmm, sand in my eye!

Standing with Daddy and Uncle Azraai... 2 and a half stooges?

Mummy made me a sandcastle turtle, can you spot it? :P

*pats turtle*

On the way back, we stopped by the Customs House to check out the underground miniature replica of Sydney city...

Then, we headed to Watson's Bay for some more touristy sightseeing. Managed to catch the sunset at the Gap, very pretty!

Tried to play some frisbee at the park, but a dog ate daddy's frisbee... so it was a sad ending to the day! Sorry daddy!

To Aunty Ally and Uncle Az: Have a safe flight and hopefully we can meet up again in December! It was VERY NICE hanging out with you guys :)
