Bali Day 02 - Part 1: Our Villa

The next morning, we woke up early to have a good look at our 3-bedroom villa.

It is very huge and gorgeous, with 3 bedrooms, a large living room, a kitchen, a beautiful garden and a large swimming pool!

We even have breakfast cooked by the chefs in our villa!

After a sumptuous breakfast, Daddy declared that it's swimming time! But I wasn't allowed in the water because I am still having a runny nose! What a let-down! But Gonggong allowed me to soak my little feet in the water and join in the fun!

Bali Day 01

Today, I'm going on a family vacation to Bali with Gonggong, Mah-mah, Daddy, Mommy, Peter Gonggong, Yan-mahmah and Adrian gorgor (he's actually my uncle!).



Our flight is taking off at 7pm. We reached Changi Airport Terminal 2 at around 5pm to check in.

After check-in, we proceed to Crystal Jade Restaurant for some food before boarding the plane.



This is my first flight ever! I'm so excited! Wonder how the plane looks like....



I was given a bassinet for me to sleep in onboard the flight. But I'm too excited to sleep! Everything is so new and exciting to me!



I was having so much fun onboard the flight... so many people and things to see and explore! I'm enjoying it so much!

Are we there yet, Mommy? My eyelids are getting heavier and heavier.... Finally....



I fell asleep onboard the flight before we reached Bali... Daddy said that's the right thing to do to conserve my energy for tomorrow.

Happy 9 months old!

Happy 9 months old, my sweet darling!

You are clearly one of the greatest gifts we've received in our lives. I'm so addicted to you! I can't get enough of the sweetest joy you bring, your sweet innocent face, melodious chuckle and brilliant smiles...

Love you baby!

Tessa with the Snot Bubble

Tessa is down with running nose, cough and phlegm. She created quite a ruckus in Dr Chin's clinic, refusing to let him check her.

Daddy's stuck in a meeting and missed seeing her snot bubble. A little disgusting, but nonetheless adorable.

Dr Chin weighed her and claimed that she's 8.6kg. Mom and I had a shock because she's 10kg on our home weighing scale. But Dr Chin said that at 8.6kg, she's between the 50th and 75th percentile (weight for age), she would be grossly overweight if she's 10kg.

That sounded quite reassuring.

Our little princess didn't have a good night sleep. Guess she's suffering from a bad case of blocked nose. Poor baby. Get well soon, ok?

Mom-Power

Usually, only Ah Mah has the power... But today, my little Tessa bestowed the power upon me...

This morning, as I changed, kissed Tessa good-bye and opened the room door to leave for work, my little princess screamed in protest and called out "Mama Mama..." Her eyes were watery and she launched forward towards me.

Obviously, my heart melted and I rushed back for a long, big hug and many kisses.

Isn't she sweet?

Coming attractions

Dear Loyal Followers,

I know you must be yearning for new updates. Yes, we do have alot to update. We took Tessa on her first overseas road trip to Melaka. Tessa also finally got into the pool and got herself wet and wild in her new swimsuit.

I'm still trying to sort out loads of photos and stuff.

So stay tuned!

In the meantime...

Melaka Day 2

Melaka Day 1

Swimming!

Daddy & Mommy brought me swimming again. This time round, I truly enjoyed myself although I was initially a little scared about getting into the cold water. But I've learnt to conquer my fear.


Hi, do I look gorgeous in my hollywood star swim suit?


I had a lot of fun in the water with Daddy.

I Can Crawl!

Note from Mommy: The little one finally "graduated" to the REAL crawl aka on all fours.

We went to the Zoo Zoo Zoo!

I went to the zoo with Mommy, Daddy, Gong-gong and Mah-mah!



First, the adults have lunch at Five Star Chicken Rice along Bukit Timah Road.



Mommy, stop taking pictures, can you quickly finish your food so that we can move on??



We reached the zoo at around 1pm. Daddy's our tour guide. With a map in hand, he guided us round the zoo.



The zoo is very big, there're alot to cover. So we must hurry!!



While the adults pant and sweat walking, I was enjoying the scenery in my BMW. But soon, it started to rain and we have to take cover in a pavilion.



Along the way, we came across the statue of Ah Meng. Gong-gong said he's supposed to be very famous. I don't know him but I'm still delighted to pose for a photo with Gong-gong.



That's me posing for photos with Daddy and Gong-gong with the White Tiger!



We stopped to watch the animal show at the amphitheatre. Daddy didn't like the show, he said the old version is much better. I don't really enjoy the show either.




We finally came to the Rainforest KidzWorld. We were first greeted by the carousel.

I wasn't interested in a ride. Rather, I'm more interested in MILK! I am so hungry! And so we stopped by at the KFC for a short break while I recharge with a dose of my favourite milk.



There is a water play area where many many children were happily playing. I looked at them enviously, but I can't go into the water because we've not brought along my swimming costume. How disappointing! Can we come again?

In this newly added attraction, there is a farm where you can find alot of animals.



With the sheeps...



With the ponies and falabellas...



Inside the Kampung House where Daddy pretended to cook...

Walking through the maze..

Through the Dino Walk....

Trying out the exercise bars...

Big rat, little rat and the grassy rat...

By the end of the day, we are all tired and sweaty, but we all had fun!

Daddy, are we coming back soon?

Our Little Ballerina

I saw this little dress and can't resist trying it on Tessa. She looks extremely adorable in it. If only her hair is longer, she'll look gorgeous, won't she?

HRC

Auntie Nora invited us to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch. It's the first time I'm there. It's quite a cool place. As usual, I became Auntie Jiahui's favourite photo subject.

After lunch, Daddy took me shopping and admire more Christmas lightings.

Tessa's Passport

Yeah! I have my own passport now!

Daddy said I'm a big girl now since I can travel to places and leave home on my own. Where to, Daddy? I don't want to be anywhere without Mah Mah, OK?

Christmas Lightings

Ah Mah, Ah Gong and Mommy brought me to Orchard Road for some Christmas shopping and to see the Christmas decorations.

Orchard Road is decorated with many many colourful lights and lollipops! And there is this Christmas tree in the mall that is sooooooo tall! It's decorated with many many golden little lights. So pretty! We took many many photos and bought many many new toys!
