18 & 19 March 2013: Bintan

Daddy & Mommy brought us to Bintan!! We get to sit the big ferry boat. It was really fun!

We stayed at the Angsana Beach Resort that has a big nice room, swimming pool and beautiful seaview.

We swam, built sandcastles, chased the waves, watched the sunset, admired the stars and listened to the rhythm of the waves at night.

We love Bintan and want to come back again and again!

Johor Premium Outlets

Mommy and Daddy heard about a new premium outlets shopping mall in Johor Bahru and decided to check it out. Yeye and Ah Mah are going with us! Yeah! It's another family road trip!

However, the mall turns out to be quite disappointing. Nevertheless, we had a fun day out together.

Last Day in Hong Kong

We wish you a Merry Christmas!
We wish you a Merry Christmas!
We wish you a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year!

Today marks our last day in Hong Kong. Boohoohooo...

We woke up early in the morning for some light breakfast in the hotel. Mommy has made reservation for dim sum at Serenade Restaurant by the Victoria Harbour for lunch at 1pm.

We made our way to Kowloon to walk around a little before heading for lunch. Dylan poopoo and dirtied his clothes. Mommy did not bring extra set of clothings of him, so we had to buy a new set for him to change into.

That's Dylan in his new set of Puma track suit. 

After some yummy sumptuous dim sum lunch, we walked around Sogo for a while before making our way back to the hotel to pick up our luggages and make our way to the airport.

It's been a fun 5 days in Hong Kong. Thank you Mommy! Thank you Daddy! Thank you Ah Mah!

Muacks! I love you all!

Day 4: Shopping Day!

Initially, Mommy and Daddy have planned to go to Shenzhen today. But since it is Christmas Eve, the crowds will be too terrible.

We did not eat breakfast at the hotel today because Daddy wanted to have a sumptuous dim sum meal. We took a cab to the City Hall because Uncle Weng has recommended Mommy a restaurant that is located there.

Who knows the restaurant was packed by the time we reached and there was a long queue of people waiting for tables.

We decided to walk to IFC Mall to try our luck at another recommended restaurant. Who knows, also no luck. The restaurant was also packed by the time we reached.

In the end we have to settle for Crystal Jade Restaurant (by the way, we also have to queue). While waiting for our queue number, we finished eating a Subway sandwich and some take-out dim sum from this supposedly famous restaurant called Tim Ho Wan.

After a quick brunch, Daddy took us on a Star Ferry ride to Kowloon for some shopping.

We did not do anything else except shopping. After Kowloon, we made our way to Olympian City for more shopping as it was slightly on the outskirts and we will not run into the crowds congregating at the city area of Christmas countdown.

We ended the day tired and exhausted from all the walking and shopping, but satisfied with bags and bags of goodies.

Day 3: The Big Buddha

Yippeee!!! Ah Mah woke up today feeling a lot lot better!

After breakfast at the hotel, guess what we should be doing?

Yes, that's right, practise for photo poses. Dylan tries his poses as well, but I must say, he isn't doing it quite right.

We took a train in the direction of Disneyland before we reached the place to take a cable car up to the Big Buddha. I tried my luck and checked to see if we are actually heading towards Disneyland, but no, we are not. :(

Anyway, we queued for a long time before we get to take the cable car. It was such a long and tiring wait, so much so that I fell asleep the entire cable car journey. I cracked Mommy, Daddy and Ah Mah so badly when I told them (after I woke up from my power nap) that we have not taken the cable car yet.

I promised to myself that I will not fall asleep on the cable car journey back later on.

There I go again, showing off my nice poses.

The Big Buddha is located way high up a long long flight of stairs. I am determined to make it up to the top on my own. And I did it! I climbed up by myself and I did so faster than Mommy and Ah Mah. Hooray!

After visiting the Big Buddha, we stopped for some dessert and listened to some Christmas carolling before joining the long queue of people waiting to take the cable car back down.

I did not fall asleep.... I enjoyed the long, windy cable car ride down.

What's up next on our itinearary? Shopping of course! At the Citygate Outlets!

Day 2: Disneyland!

We woke up early for breakfast in the hotel before setting off to Disneyland. Ah Mah is still not feeling too well, I hope the Disneyland trip will not be too tough for her.

After breakfast, Mommy and Daddy said I should practise my poses before we head towards Disneyland.

What do you think? How do I look?

We are on our way, we are on our way, we are on our way to Disneyland! Lalalala.... lulululu...

Here we are, outside Disneyland before we enter the Magical Kingdom....

We arrived just in time for the parade! Woohoo.... I'm so excited.... Will I see Mickey and Minnie?

The parade is simply amazing!

Look! It's Mickey and Minnie dressed in Christmas holiday style. But I didn't manage to take photos with them after the parade because there was a long long long queue of people waiting to take photos with them. We decided to try our luck to see if they will appear for photo opportunities later in the day.

We then headed to take the Disneyland train for a tour round the kingdom. Dylan and I went on some rides, such as the carousel and the flying dumbo.

Ah Mah was not feeling too well throughout our time at Disneyland. Poor Ah Mah is feeling giddy and had a terrible headache.

We decided to get the day short and head back to the hotel so that Ah Mah can take her medicine and rest.

Fortunately, we manage to catch Mickey and took some photos with him before we leave.

I really wish we could stay at Disneyland longer, but Ah Mah is more important, so we should go back to hotel so that she can rest.

I had a fun day at Disneyland and look forward to coming back here again. Maybe tomorrow?

Mommy notes: Tessa was elated to see Mickey. Before the family ahead of us could leave, she was running towards Mickey, shouting: "MICKEY, come, big hug!" The queue is all worthwhile seeing the way she smiles and poses with Mickey.

Off We Go to Hong Kong Disneyland

It was a very busy December for us. After we returned from our cruise, Mommy and Daddy had to pack our bags once again for Hong Kong! I am so excited because I will get to meet Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy at Hong Kong Disneyland!

That's Dylan and me at the airport waiting for Daddy and Mommy to check-in. We need to take an airplane before we can reach Hong Kong Disneyland.

 Byebye everybody! Merry Christmas! See you when we are back from Hong Kong Disneyland!

After a somewhat long flight, we are finally in Hong Kong. Dylan fell asleep on the flight. From the airport, we took a taxi to our hotel - Cosmopolitan Hotel which is located at Happy Valley, near Causeway Bay.

We checked into our room, rested for a while and Dylan recharged with a bottle of his favourite milk. We then move off to find some yummy food. Mommy, Daddy and Ah Mah were looking forward to hot wanton mee.

That's us enjoying our wanton mee in a typical Hong Kong-style eatery.

After filling our tummies, we headed towards Causeway Bay for some shopping at Times Square. We even stopped for some dessert and coffee.

Ah Mah wasn't feeling too well, so we headed back to the hotel so that she can rest. We decided to let Ah Mah rest while we make a trip to Victoria Peak to view the night scenery.

We took a taxi and the journey up to the peak was like a roller-coaster. The view was spectacular but the winds were a little chilly. Fortunately, Mommy prepared us well with jackets that have hoods that cover our head and ears.

Daddy said Dylan looked like he came out from South Park in his jacket. But I think he looks extremely adorable.

We returned to the hotel to rest as all of us have a long day. And we will be going to Disneyland tomorrow! Yeah yeah yeah!

Legend of the Seas (16 to 19 Dec 2011)

Woohoo!!! We woke up early on 16 December because we are going on a cruise! Mommy said it'll be so fun because we will be in this big ship together with the big family!

Hello! I am drinking milk with Dylan. We need a lot of energy for the cruise!

See, we are all dressed up and ready! We are waiting for the taxi to take us to the cruise centre.

On our way onboard the Royal Carribean Legend of the Seas - look at how happy all of us are!

Inside our stateroom and the view outside.

Look at us! We are ready to explore the ship!

We had so much fun dancing! Dance dance baby! Dance dance baby!

What do we do onboard the cruise ship? We play, we EAT. We swim, then we EAT. We sleep, then wake up and we EAT. Yes, it's EAT and EAT and EAT.

Shihan, Dylan and I love to try the line dancing with Mommy and Ah Mah. We love swimming and water play even more! We have so much fun splashing one another and fooling around in the pool!

We disembark the ship for a short day trip in Penang. Look! That's me modelling in Mommy's sunglasses.

It's fun to be with the family! Even though there aren't many activities to do, we still have a lot of fun together.
