Kids Sell for Charity at Minden

We headed out to Little India for our Tosai fix. Then on the way home, daddy dropped us off at the Minden Rukun Tetangga as there was a charity event there. The first stall we stopped at was manned by your schoolmate, Gabriel. So you paid for a "lucky pick" from his bin. 

We walked around and also stopped to buy a pack of slime from this little girl who sure could sell her stuff. Our last stop was where you could throw the ping pong balls (bought for a fee) into an egg tray to score point. The accumulated points would enable you to pick a present.

 This was the presents you picked with your points

Pizza and Pasta Night

We planned to cook for dinner instead of going out. And coincidentally, Audrey came back with Ah Ma to play with Mei-mei after Ah Ma attended her graduation and concert ceremony. 

So everyone got to make their own pizza:

Little chefs at work 

Audrey's pizza 

Evelyn's pizza 

Mummy's attempt at making schiaciata

Daddy's seafood pasta

Uncle Sin Tien and Aunty Ean Na also had dinner at our place later that evening after they had completed their errands.

Birthday Party in School

This year you had requested to have a birthday party in school.So early that morning, we brought with us the cupcakes and party packs. I tell you picking a Monday was the wrong thing as you had to go to the Multi-Purpose Hall instead of directly to your classroom. 

We could not locate Miss Beatrice, your homeroom teacher. Fortunately, we spotted Madam Julia who told us that we could leave the items in the hall and she will have other teachers to help Miss Beatrice move them to the teacher's room or your classroom. 

Miss Beatrice was nice to send me these pictures of the event for the day:

Hope you and your friends had a great celebration. *hugs*

P/S: These were what we got for the school party:

Party packs of snack in zip bags which we decorated with stickers 

Including a little note 

And the cupcakes

Happy Birthday to Our Princess

Happy 7th Birthday to our little sunshine. 

There are days when you make us laugh with your silly antics, make us exasperated with your cheeky behaviour, get us all so tired with your incessant chatter and make our hearts burst with love with your small gestures.

Whatever it is that you make us feel, we are forever grateful for having you in our lives.

Keep on smiling and bringing sunshine into everyone's lives. 

We all love you to the moon and back. 

Kisses xxx,

Ko-ko

Evelyn's 7th Birthday Party at Home

We did not know what to order for your birthday party. In the end, we decided on getting most of the food from the Golf Club. Not a bad choice. Also some belacan chicken from another stall and roast pork by Ah Ma. The club restaurant arranged the food nicely on the trays we had given them:

Unagi roll 

Roast pork from Ah Ma 

Fried beehoon 

Belacan Chicken 

Condiments 

Garlic Fried Rice 

Salmon roll 

Ta-da.. our dinner spread

After a bit of chit chat, it was time for cake: 

Cousins 

Birthday girl with her cake 

Sparkly candles

Ariel themed cake as requested 

Put up some birthday wordings

Of course, the party ended with the opening of presents:

Time to Bid Farewell

After so many years of teaching the both of you, Miss Lim had to bid you farewell as she was not feeling well and was unable to cope with teaching extra lessons on top of her school work. 

She had started teaching the both of you since you were in pre-school. 

Evan was especially affected by her departure. But maybe when she gets better, she will be able to return to teaching the both of you. 

I'm glad that the both of you made/found something to give her as a remembrance to the two rascals she had to teach twice a week, Hope that she gets well soon.

Farewell, Copenhagen

We usual, we woke up early to have the scrumptious breakfast at The Square. Then we headed back to get ready to head to the airport. As Denmark is the land of Lego.. there was even a "scanner" made out of Lego for children.

Mei-mei's bag being scanned 

Beep! Green light

And there was even a lane for parents travelling with children to use: 

As this lane was shorter, we cleared immigration and then carry on check faster than the rest of the group. Mei-mei and I had to wait a while for everyone else to clear. 

One last "photo" of Copenhagen 

Oh, my smiley son!

We finally boarded the plane and had our lunch on board. 

This was Evelyn's meal.. funnily, it was spicy!

As it was a long flight and we took of during lunch time, everyone was hungry before the second meal was served. Daddy asked for cup noodles for Mei-mei and when Ko-ko found out (smelled it...), we also ordered one for him.
When we finally landed in Singapore (early in the morning), the first thing Ko-ko and Ah Kong did was to have one more round of Curry Laksa before heading to the terminal to go back to Penang.

We arrived in Penang all tired out (and jet lagged) because it was not possible to sleep for long seeing that it was afternoon Copenhagen time when we were on the plane. Luckily our usual driver was there to pick us up and after clearing our bags, showering, we all dozed off.. and only woke up later to have lunch. 

Hello again, Copenhagen

As it was too early, we could not check into the rooms. So we dropped our bags at the storage and headed out to roam Copenhagen again. Ah Kong and Ah Ma said they were too tired and did not want to go out. This round we managed to get into the City Hall. While climbing the City Hall tower was one of our itineraries, we were not in the mood to attempt that, so we skipped that.

We wandered around a bit more and then found ourselves in the Lego shop. 

The mural is made of Lego! 

Oh.. what a pretty girl *kiss*kiss*

We were not very hungry so we opted to have something light: sausages from a stall (which still costs us RM100 for this light lunch!!). Found some seats to sit and have our lunch. 

We then headed back to the hotel to find that our rooms are now available. Yay!! Brought our luggage up to the (same) rooms and rested abit.

 Later on, we asked Ah Kong and Ah Ma if they wanted to join us for a little walk. And they said "OK". As we walked into Strøget we spotted Sv. Michelsen Chokolade, which I had read was great Danish chocolates. So we (obviously) picked some chocolate and Evelyn also got an ice-cream.
After walking around, we found a place to sit down in the cool evening, watch the people passing by and have some drinks. Only problem was there as an unpleasant smell in the air. We couldn't put our fingers on it, until it finally hit daddy! Oh no!! We were so near the Royal Stables, hence we got a good whiff of the "royal horses' poop"!

Mei-mei's drink

We could not decide on where to go for dinner. In the end, after asking Ah Ma if she would make the walk, we headed to Karla's again. We took a slow walk to enjoy the view of Copenhagen one last time and to take pictures:

Stopped outside the Hermes windows to take some pictures

At long last, we reached Karla's and there was a nice seat outside. Lovely way to end our holidays in Europe.  

 We also got the waiter to take our family picture:

After dinner, we took a slow walk back to the hotel to call it a day.
