Shu Shu's Wedding

Gone were the days I dislike occasions where the adults wear dark coloured suits and gowns and I would give the "dont mess with me" look if they try to approach me. I was friendly and relatively well behaved during Shu Shu's wedding dinner, leaving my seat only to pee and towards the end to play with Ah ma who was seated at another table. I enjoyed the video clips shown during the wedding, the sharksfin soup and the e-fu noodles. I even went up the stage to participate in the shouting (adults called it "yum seng") session but ended up trying to blow out the decorative candles placed on the stage. Hee hee...
I heard I will be attending another such occasion soon as mummy's best friend is getting married...

Hong Kong...Again

During the Jun school break, we went to Hong Kong for a short trip. After much consideration, the decision was still to go Hong Kong instead of other countries as I would be able to adapt well there.

We stayed in another hotel and explored new places in Hong Kong. We tried more modes of transport this time round - tram, small bus, travel bus, double checker public bus and the ferry. We went to a Buddhist Monastery to pray, Stanley Market for lunch and quick walk, checked out the 1881 Heritage building (the old marine police headquarters), play at Snoopy World's playground, Tai-O to appreciate the non city life and Noah Ark to see the huge boat and animals. On our last night, we ate a super expensive fish (cost around S$90) because I like to eat fish and that fish was the only one available in the hotel's restaurant.

This time, I didnt fuss much on the flight back, enjoyed my in-flight meal and ribena sweets, and dozed off while waiting for the aeroplane to land till the time we collected our luggages.

Bottle Tree Park

Mummy saw a tree shaped like a bottle when she and I were in the MRT travelling from Kranji to Yio Chu Kang station. She then told Daddy who checked out the address and took us there. I brought along my tricycle, for I love to cycle. We saw the "bottle" trees. There were 2 fishing areas - a big one at the front and a small one (near a restaurant) where kids and adults were fishing for shrimps and small fishes. The playgrounds were still wet due to the rain and I couldnt play. We were there for a while before it started to rain again. So we packed up and left.

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!
