Road Trip

Together with 3 other families (Daddy and mummy's friends), we drove to Port Dickson, Malaysia over the long labour day weekend. It was our 1st road trip and I know Daddy and mummy were concerned if I could sit in the car for a long period and my stomach aka my daily meals. It turned out that I was sleeping most of the time in the car and my stomach was well taken care of.

It was very hot and sunny in Port Dickson. The places we went to were all air conditioned as the adults were worried we cannot take the heat since most of us were having cough and/or flu. The resort we stayed in has a mini pet farm (rabbits, roosters, chicks, tortoises and peacocks), a playground and swimming pool to keep us kids entertained. The adults were bored as the only decent shopping mall was like our neighbour convenience store. Our water chalet has a fairly good view of the beach and sea. At night and early morning, we could hear the sound of the waves and peacocks screeching. Luckily no mosquitoes and we could sleep well.

We were relieved to find out that we were not the only one who brought along a potty on the road trip! I needed it for my poo poo matters. Hee, 2 other families did the same.

We reached Singapore in the evening to avoid the traffic jam. Though it was tiring, we had fun and made new friends!

Hort Park

Daddy took us to Hort Park and brought along my tricyle. The tricyle was my 2 years old birthday present and Daddy only managed to assemble it last Monday after I showed interest in riding the display tricycle in the Muji store. After 2 afternoons of practising with mummy at home, I can now ride the tricycle (yes, pedal and cycle) but I still cannot manoeuvre very well when turning right/left.

Rainy Day with Daddy

It was raining heavily when I woke up from my afternoon nap. Daddy and I sat by the window to look at and talk about the traffic jam along the expressway. I enjoyed such special time with Daddy.

Special days

Thought of jotting down 2 special days when I made Daddy and mummy exceptionally happy.

16th April 2010, Friday: I didnt cry at all when I reached school and Daddy had to leave. I quietly queued in the designated area with other school mates and waited patiently for Teacher to bring us to the classroom.

19th April 2010, Monday: I went to the toilet in Novena Square shopping mall and peed in the toilet bowl. I only pee in the toilet bowl at home. This is the first "outside home" toilet bowl I have peed in. Mummy said will give me sticker but she forgot.

Goofy

Carry

I like to carry things (umbrella, basket, plastic bags, water bottle, letters from mailbox etc)....albeit only for a short distance.
