One of the nights last week, Tessa was waking up frequently at night, crying and screaming "Yeye, there there there".
I think she's having nightmares about going to school.
At school, the teachers have reported that she has been crying for Yeye and pointing at the main door saying "there there there".
Poor baby, is school really such a traumatic experience for her?
Day by day we watch them grow....

Tessa's first art piece
The first art piece Tessa did at childcare was to stick a crescent moon and stars on a piece of black paper.
Her teacher pasted her work on the wall, along with a photo taken when she was doing this art piece.
She was very proud of herself. She'll point to the art piece and her photo and announce "me me me". Even when she's crying, she'll not forget to remind you that her art piece and her photo were pasted on the wall.

Tessa @ Childcare
After 2 weeks plus at childcare, Tessa is still not adapting well. I was with her the first 3 days and she was alright. But she has been crying since I had to leave her alone with her teachers.
She cries and whines throughout the day, whenever she thought of us and home. She even tries to "run away from school".
Her teacher was telling us that she gathers all her stuff in her schoolbag one day, not forgetting her water bottle and walks towards the main door. Her teacher asked her where she was going. She points to the main door and says "find Mommy".
The teacher was so amused by her. She not only knows her way out, and remembers to take all her belongings with her.
This week, she has been displaying unhappiness early in the morning when she knows that we are taking her to school. Worse still, she's down with runing nose and cough. I sure hope she'll adapt to school soon.

MIA
Hello everybody!!! A very belated Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to all!
Sorry for disappearing for so long. It's been a busy festive period for us. We were in Hong Kong and Macau over the Christmas holidays and in Melaka over the New Year period.
Since Monday, I've been going to school (aka childcare centre). Daddy and Mommy said that I'm a big girl now and I'm going to be a jiejie soon, so it's time for me to go to school and take care of myself. School's alright but I just wish Mommy can stay with me all the time when I'm there.
On top of that, Mommy has been hit by the dizzy bugs lately and has not been feeling well enough to update the blog. Hopefully the nasty discomfort will disappear soon and Mommy will then be able to start posting photos of our holidays!
Stay tuned!

Melaka (31 Dec & 1 Jan)
4 cars taking 16 adults and 2 babies embarked on a road trip to Melaka to celebrate the New Year.
This is the first time that we went travelling with such a big group of people! It sure was a great experience. I sat in George Yeye's car with meimei, it was big and spacious, and extremely comfortable. The best thing of all is that I get to watch Barney all through the journey!
This time round, we stayed at the Holiday Inn Melaka which has a nice swimming pool. Daddy & Mommy brought me to have a dip in the pool. It sure was nice, especially when the weather is so humid and hot.
We had lots of yummy food, did shopping at Jonker Street at night and went to buy everyone's favourite nonya kueh.
It will be great if we can do more of such family trips in the future!

Day 5: Home Sweet Home
Our return flight to Singapore was scheduled to depart at 10:15am, but we didn't get to board the plane until 9:10pm.
This was due to bad weather. It was extremely foggy that the plane cannot land. When it finally landed, it has passed the stipulated number of hours that the crew members can work. As a result, the plane can only return to Singapore at night when the crew members they specially flew in from Singapore arrived.
Initially, we waited and waited at the airport for confirmation on the situation. All these while, I tried to entertain myself to pass time. Finally they decided to put us up at the airport hotel so that we can rest. Thanks to me, we get priority to secure the hotel rooms.
The airport hotel is quite run-down and boring, but we are contented to have a place to lie down, rest and take a nap.
Finally we are on our way back to Singapore, touching down way past midnight. It was a long and tiring day, most of which was spent at the Macau airport. Haiz.. how I wish we were at Disneyland.

Day 4: Macau
This morning, after we woke up and had our breakfast at KFC, we checked out of our hotel and embarked on the journey to Macau.
We will be staying one night in Macau so that we can tour around the place.
The hotel we are staying in - Sofitel Pointe 16 - is very grand and nice. I love our rooms!
After checking into the hotel, we walked to the Senado Square and visited the ruins of St Paul. At Senado Squre, there are many shops selling all sorts of goodies. I ate so many yummy almond cookies that I lost count of how many I actually ate!
When we are done with buying all the yummy goodies to take back to Singapore, we headed back to our hotel to put our stuff before going to the Venetian.
The Venetian is a very grand hotel cum casino. It also has a very large shopping mall where you can really lose your way around.
When we left the Venetian, it was already very late at night. Mommy said I need to have a lot of rest to prepare for the flight home tomorrow.
What?!?! We are going home already????

Day 3: Hong Kong Disneyland
Yippee!!! Today I am going to Disneyland to see Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck! I'm so excited that I can't wait.
But before heading to Disneyland, Mommy brought us to this dim sum restaurant by the Victoria Harbour. It has a magnificent view!
After breakfast, we took the MTR to Causeway Bay where Daddy wants to do some shopping. I waited and waited for the shopping king to be done.
Finally we are on our way to Disneyland!!!!
This must be the happiest place on earth! There are so many things to see, so many things to do! We were just in time to watch the parade. It was so much fun! I get to see all my favourite characters - Snow White, Cinderella, Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, Daisy and Santa Claus!
Yeye and Mahmah accompanied me to take the carousel ride and the spinning tea cup. Whew! I wish we can do that over and over again. After that, all of us took the boat at the "It's a Small Small World". Very soon, it was night time and the whole Disneyland lit up beautifully.

Unfortunately, it was also time to see goodbye and head back to our hotel. Daddy, can we come again soon?

Day 2: Lantau Big Buddha
Today, we are going to take a cable car to see the Big Buddha at Lantau Island.
First, we took the MTR to Tung Chung where there is a huge outlet mall (Citygate). We did a little shopping here.
At Tung Chung, we took a cable car - Ngong Ping 360 in order to reach the Big Buddha. It was so fun. We are so high up that all the buildings and boats become so little!
At the end of the cable car ride, we came to this little "town" where there are many shops selling all sorts of things. We also saw different cable cars from all over the world on display here.
Finally we reached the foot of the stairs leading to Big Buddha. But before we start climbing up these long flights of stairs, we decided to visit the temple to bai bai first.
Yeye, Daddy, Mommy and I started to climb the stairs to the Big Buddha while Ah Mah waited for us. It was a tough climb. I tried very hard to climb up myself, but in the end, I gave up and Daddy carried me.
The Big Buddha is REALLY very very very BIG!!!!
We stopped by a dessert shop before taking the cable car back for some yummy black glutinuous rice dessert with mango. So yummy that I wish I can have more!

Hong Kong-Macau Day 1: Arrival & the Peak
After nearly 4 hours of flight from Singapore, we finally touched down at Macau.
Immediately, we transferred by taxi to the ferry terminal and took the ferry to Hong Kong Kowloon Island.
Yeye and ME on the ferry.
After we arrived at Kowloon, we immediately checked into the hotel - Royal Pacific Hotel which is located at the ferry terminal so it's extremely convenient.
We are all very very hungry, so we proceeded to Tang Dynasty opposite our hotel for our breakfast cum lunch cum high tea.
After a delicious meal, we set off to the Peak. We took the MTR to Central. Then we found this bus terminal to take a bus to the Peak. Mommy thought that the bus will take us to the Peak tram station. Who knows, after a long long long journey, we were at the Peak itself. I was so tired that I fell asleep on the bus.
Waiting for the Peak bus.
The scenery at the Peak was very very beautiful, but grrr... it was also very very cold up here. The wind was so strong that it nearly blew me away.
We took alot of photos at the Peak then we make our way back to the hotel by taxi. It was a long and tiring day, but I sure look forward to tomorrow!

Hong Kong Hong Kong Here We Come!!!
Mommy said we are all going to Hong Kong for Christmas! Although I don't know where on earth that is, but it sure sounds like fun!
It will be the first time for me and Ah Gong. Ah Mah said we can shop, eat, shop, eat! Gong gong is excited about visiting those places where he has seen on TV and eating all the yummy food those TV programmes introduced.
Mommy said the only problem is we are flying budget (at a very not-budgeted price). I don't see any problem with that, so long I get to have fun and play!
Mommy is planning the itinerary. She wants to bring us to savour all the good food, discover all the wonderful shopping places, visit the tourist attractions - Ngong Ping 360, Lantau Island Big Buddha, The Peak etc.
Daddy wants to bring me to Disneyland to see Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Winnie the Pooh... Soooooooo exciting!
Oh ya! Mommy said we'll be spending Christmas eve in Macau, visiting the Venetian.
It sure sounds like fun. Oh boy oh boy!! I can't wait!

It's Xmas time again!
Mommy was away overseas on business. I did not get to see her for a few days. Luckily, I have Gonggong and Mahmah to accompany me.
When Mommy got back, she brought Gonggong, Mahmah and me out for a delicious lunch at Orchard Road so that we can admire the beautiful Christmas lightings and decorations.
Daddy said he is so envious that I get to take photos with Gonggong and Mahmah every Christmas.
Mommy told him that it is to become a family tradition. Gonggong and Mahmah used to bring Mommy to Orchard Road to admire the Christmas lightings and decorations, and to take photos when she was little. Now it's my turn.

The only problem is: I don't really like staying still to have my photos taken! Can't I run around while you take the photos, Mommy?
