Paint a Rainbow

Had a little craft time with you before heading over to Nanna's for Chor Kong's funeral.

Birthday for Evelyn Bear

On Thursday, you decided that it was your pink bear-bear's (named Evelyn) birthday.  You bugged me to buy her a cake.
Yesterday at Queensbay , we were supposed to buy a cake but in the end were too tired to search.
So today after lunch we stopped by Mon Delice to order the flavour of your cake and to pick up a cake for Evelyn Bear.
So... ta-da... another birthday celebration:

Chocolate Fondue Ice Cream

Only 4 of us went to Queensbay for lunch yesterday as Ah Ma was still not feeling well and Ah Kong said he did not have any appetite. 

After a bit of shoppibg we headed to Haagen Dazs for the long promised ice-cream. 

Ko-ko laughed at you for having a dirty face:

Not realising he himself has a dirty face too:

Evelyn's Tiara

Mummy helped me to pick this when we went to Toy's R Us. My lucky Ko-ko got to pick a new toy gun.
Do you like my new ti-ah-rah? It has a light which blinks. It also comes with a amulet like my favourite Princess Sofia and also earrings. I don't need to have hiles in my ears like mummy. They can clip on my ears. It's abit painful when I put them on.  But don't you think I look so beautiful?

Vomit Virus

Ah Ma had been telling us about children on other classes who were sick but none had been sick in your class. But on last Thursday, your friend Claire vomitted in school. That evening itsslf you caught the bug. *sigh*
Daddy and I were working late and Ah Ma called yo say that you have vomitted several times. By the time we reached home, you were sleeping and you had already vomitted 6 times in the past hour. Quickly packed a bag in case you had to be admitted (you could not even keep down water) and headed to the hospital.
It was a rather long wait and finally we got to see Dr. Mary and you were given suppository to stop the vomitting. And also prescribed potato chips as medicine. Yup... that was to return the salt to your body and also tasted better than the ORS.
You ate the chips feeling a little sad as we ate McDonald's  (our very late dinner). But you were still so exhausted you fell asleep quickly after that.
You missed school the next day and took all the medicine for the next few days and seem to be better. We spent the weekend in Ipoh and poor you could not have your fruits, dairy products or anything sweet. Sunday morning you had diarrhea a couple of times but other than that you were fine.
Last night, you asked me "mummy, can I have milk tomorrow?". Caught me by surprise as you never liked to drink much milk, unlike your ko-ko.
Looks like you are back to normal, thank goodness. What a scary experience.

Minion

Once daddy put it on for you, your remarked "Look like Minion". Totally agree with you.

Banana Split

Yesterday mummy gave use ice-cream for dessert. Sshh... don't tell daddy. She said that she will give me if I sat quietly and finished all my rice.
So Ko-ko and I got THREE flavours of ice-cream and sprinkles and banana. Yummy...  but in the end mummy ate up the banana in my bowl. I just wanted it because Ko-ko had it.

More Fishies

Since it was quite early and we had seen the simple video in the morning on how to make fishes,  we decided to make them last Sunday.
It was a simple craft and Ko-ko joined us, helping you to cut some parts too.
Here's the final outcome and we can obviously guess which fish was made by who. Of course , you both also posed with your creations:

My Family

You found these cardboard cut out of boys and girls and asked if you could have some. Then you took a pencil and drew hair and facial features on them,telling me they are mummy, daddy, Ko-ko and you.
To my surprise you thought to join your family together buy using glue.
The next day you asked for 2 more as you wanted to add Ah Kong and Ah Ma.

Day 4 : Time to Go Home

It was time to head back to Ipoh then Penang. We ate a leisurely breakfast, then cleaned up and packed before loading the car. We drove for not more than 5 minutes when we were hit by a traffic jam. Unfortunately, the jam lasted a very long time. What would usually take 1.5 hours to reach Ipoh took us 4 hours to finally reach Ipoh, with us all sooo hungry. 

Luckily you were both quite well behaved. Lookit the happy faces:

Mei-mei fell asleep just before we reached the toilet spot. So you could not nap after that. As it was too late and most of the shops in Ipoh were closed, we ate Maggie Mee (much to the delight of the both of you.. ) for our late lunch.

We left the house to have an early dinner with Chim Poh and Chek Kong before heading back to Penang. Again, the traffic back was horrendous! Took us almost 3 hours to reach Penang.

What a tiring trip. But we sure had loads of fun. 

Day3: Lazy Day

Today we decided to take it easy and relaxed. After a relaxed breakfast and to get ready, we all packed into Chek Kong's car and headed to Brinchang to the usual shop for lunch. It was crowded so we had to wait a while and then finally got our table to have lunch. 

Went back and daddy decided to bring Ko-ko for a walk to the waterfalls. You had fallen asleep (lucky else daddy will end up carrying you most of the way), so the 3 of them (daddy, Ko-ko and Ah Kong) headed to the waterfalls which turned out to be a waste of time. Sadly, it was very dirty. People had left their rubbish at the waterfalls or it washed from higher grounds. So the place was messy and smelly. 

As for us, Chek Kong went for his own walk while Chim Poh and I stayed at home as you napped: 

When you woke up, we tried to go to this place which Chim Poh said had a beautiful tomato plant. Too bad the shop was closed, probably due to it being the first day of Hari Raya. Then we headed back to the apartment and walked beyond to the playground. 

Here you are having great fun:

Dinner was back again at the same restaurant. Followed by clearing up the rest of the last piece of steak and corn. 

Day 2: Barbecue Dinner

These are the toys you insisted to buy at the strawberry farm:

Supervising daddy from the comfort of the deck chair:

Our drinks for the evening; 

Dinner is ready:

Everyone loves the deck chair:

Photo bombed by Ko-ko :

On the deck chair again:

Day2: Going Around

We woke up to have a leisurely breakfast then got ready to go out. The plan was to pick strawberries so we headed to Healthy Strawberry Farm which we visited before but they said that not in season to pick. So we took some pictures before leaving:

We tried our luck at another place, Kok Lim Strawberry Farm. Yay. They had strawberries to pick. We had 800grams to pick.

Here's daddy showing you how to pluck the strawberries:

Ko-ko plucking strawberries:

Posing with the first strawberry:

We wnded up picking around 600grams of strawberries so we went back to pick more. We ended up with 1 kg of strawberries.  We paid for the excess and left after buying something for Mei-mei. 

Then we headed to Cameron Valley at Bharat Plantations for lunch. We had some scones,tea and light snacks:

Before we left, daddy brought you kids to the tea plantation for a walk:

Went back for a rest and nap after that.

Day 1: Cameron Highlands

We all woke up early and quickly got ready to leave Penang. We planned to stop by Ipoh house then go off for breakfast. Met up at Ipoh to offload some of the things from our car then we headed to K10 for breakfast.

After a yummy breakfast, we started our journey to Cameron Highlands. We had 2 pit stops. Once to wee wee and another to buy the "pearl" corn.

The journey to Chek Kong's house was not too long. Traffic was very smooth heading to Cameron Highlands.

As they had been up just a month ago, the apartment was quite clean. So we quickly cleaned up a little, put on the bedsheets and we were good. While the adults cleaned up, the two of you played on the tab and laptop. Yup.. despite being so far away from home, we could not keep you away from the electronic toys!!

While we relaxed and enjoyed the cool air at home, daddy went off with Ah Kong and Chek Kong to the golf course. Daddy just went with them for a ride and he jogged back tot he apartment. 

Dinner that night was in the chu char restaurant which we usually visit when we're up in Camerons. We even went around looking for some elusive Hello Kitty pillow which you had seen on our way up, but could not find in Brinchang nor Tanah Rata.

Happy Father's Day

I made this card in school and in Friday, Mrs. Teoh let me bring the card back for daddy. I could not wait till Sunday so I quickly gave the card to daddy the moment he came home from gym. He was so happy.
Then he spoilt my card. He thought that I wouldn't notice there was 2 button instead of 3. Luckily he didn't lose the button. I tried to stick it back with Ko-ko's glue but it could not work. Mummy had super sticky oosh oosh glue and now the card is so beautiful... that's what my daddy said about my card.
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.

Pizza Day

We'd bought a light lunch today after dropping Ko-ko off at school for Wushu. So I decided to top up with pizza since we did not plan to go out in the afternoon.
We went home and you helped me prepare the ingredients for the pizza base.
We left the dough to rise while we went to pick up Ko-ko and also buy a cake for Kakak.
We had our lunch while waiting for the oven to heat up. Then we all made our own pizza. Ko-ko of course, made his with all the different type of cheese we had in the fridge. You on the other took my suggestion to put strawberry jam as you were not a big fan of cheese. But you did ask to add a slice of cheddar in the end.
Remembered to take pictures of you both preparing your pizza but forgot to take a picture of the end result as we were too excited to eat the masterpieces. Yummy...

First Homework for Evelyn

Aiyo.. so stressful... took you the whole of 15 minutes to finish tour homework:

Tinker Town

What a busy weekend it is for you. Today, we did not get to sleep in again as you and Ian were signed up for Tinker-town at Oenang Science Cluster. What we thought to be a long event turned out to be estimated to be for an hour.
So after dropping you and Ian, daddy, Evelyn and I went to drive around abit and finally decided to park and have a drink at Yin's Pizza while waiting for you both.

Here are you kids goofing for the camera whike waiting for lunch to be served:

Time to Escape

Aunty Amy invited you to join them and some friends to go to Escape at Teluk Bahang. So early yesterday you woke up and got ready and off you went with them to Escape.
It sure was a long day.  Aunty amy called to ask if it was ok for you to have dinner with them at Hard Rock Cafe. You told us that you had a good time and ensured that you did not pick something too expensive off the menu (you picked kids fish and chips). We're proud of you for your good behaviour and you also thanked them when they dropped you back home.
Here are some pictures which aunty Amy sent to me of you having fun:

A Fishy Story

Told you to take a nap and after a lot of persuasion / threats you finally fell asleep. I napped with you and shortly after I got up (to clear out your closet) you woke up.
So we proceeded to cut the mouth (which became the tail) and them start to paint.
After dinner, we put on the eye and the tail and ta-da... our fish is done.
