Dim sum land with Grandma Ng

Jo and i planned to bring the kids to disney but she backed out ! we went ahead as tickets were booked and since mom was visiting spore the period we were in HK, we decided to bring her along to HK (seems the last time she visited was 10 years ago!) as part of her many bday pressies (she kindly reminded me - fitflop, washing machine etc etc :D)


Hong Kong Disneyland, here we come!


Lets call Aunty Marie! (erm, that's not a phone girls!)

Jin booked us into the HK Disneyland hotel and upgraded us to the club floor which gave us free access to food all day, crafts and storytime sessions for the kids and best of all, Mickey dropping in everynight at 8.30 to say Good night . what a bunch of happy campers we were :). Muacks to Jin!

Bean's first 3D show experience. Mini bean refused to wear the glasses and kept her face firmly pasted to my chest throughout .


Mickey saying Goodnight..bye bye Disney! Until next year ya.

After 2 nights at Disney, we headed to Kowloon for the remaining 2 nights. Caught up with lisa and shad for a nightcap and managed dim sum with Jin's boss, Ali and family.

A typical scene in our household - Ipad addicts

Hayley @ 14.5 months

Our youngest bean is getting bigger. she walks like a pro now, runs like she's stepping on coal, hardly ever crawls and loves screaming the word "Dahhhdeeeeee" and of coz, "NO!" btw, Dahdee usually means "mummy" cos she screams the word even when Jin is in the same room and only stops when I am within her sights :p

A quick run down on what she can say :
Words
- Dahdeee (mummy)
- pease (please)
- yeye (xie xie)
- NO!
- YES!
- ye ye (grandpa)
- mummee (yummy)
- What zi that (what is that)
- There!
- I lobb yew (my fav! I LOVE YOU)

she's still fairy light..8kgs at 13.5 months (and she was the same 8kgs at 10 months!)..doc said we have to give her pediasure but we persevered and patiently fed her and made sure she finished her meals and happy to report that at 14.5 months, she now weights 8.75kgs...woohoo,my arms are so gong to thank me in Hong Kong next month :p

her favourite game is "peek a BOO" and she loves running to us when stuffing her face in between our legs yelling "BOOO", "BOOO". hilarious!

This sweetie pie can also give kisses, rub nose and hugs with pats on demand.

The tiger in hayley comes out when she's upset. Usually when she sees Big Bean snuggling with me, she gets quite upset and rushes over to try smack her big sis. Aiyoh!

As for sleeping through the nite, hits and misses. some nights she sleeps from 8.30pm till 6am. sometimes she wakes up 2-4 times a night crying for us. sleep training is taking a looong time with this little one.

I love you little one, crazy fuzzy hair and all :)

Heart melter

Easter @ Penang

It was a good fun trip to Penang during easter. Good cos all the makan shops which are usually closed when we visit during CNY were opened! Fun cos jin's parents met us there from KL and took us to new places like the Youth Park which has not 1 but 3 huge playgrounds - best of all, free.

Spore biennale @ Old Kallang Airport

We finally got our lazy bums out of the house to visit the annual biennale at the old Kallang Airport. it was our first time seeing spore's first civil airport - small was my 1st impression of it. we were early so had most of the exhibits to ourselves. we had a great time just exploring room after room of funny art and then we headed down to the activities area where we made a kite and bean got a cute easter bunny balloon sculptor.


I am not sure if bean knew she was staring at bunches of hair


BIG Bean


GIANT bean and one scared mummy ;)


Cute bunny with carrot


Happy Bean :)
