Wah!! The Zoo!

Jie Jie will be starting at a new school in a few days time, so Daddy and Mummy decided to bring us to the zoo before her school term starts.

I can finally sit up in the wagon on my own! And boy was it fun to watch the animals, have snacks and monkey around with Jie Jie in it!

Also because i could recognize many animals by now, my catchphrase of the day was "Waaaaaah!" everytime i saw an animal that i knew.

And check out the number on our wagon - 57! Our birthdates!

We always seem to have an uncanny affinity with this number

Taking a break on the tram

And then the highlight of the day - the rainforest kidz world!

I was mesmerized by the carousel, i kept waving at the animals and saying "waaaaah" appreciatively

Jie Jie was sleepy by now and didnt want to go on the carousel, so Daddy took me on it alone

Waaaah! That was fun!

Then we were off to the water play area. That was where i was in my element! I love water, unlike Jie Jie who was afraid and was content to play by the side with the jet sprays only.

Since i was so gung ho, Mummy decided to sacrifice her dry clothes and really take me into the depths of the water play area. Of course we both got drenched, but it was way fuuuuun! I was so excited i couldnt stop going "waaaaaah!"

We played with the numerous fountains

Climbed up to the top of the structure

And even slid down the water slide!

Mummy even let me crawl around and i was so brave, i didnt mind all the water spraying on me left right and centre!

After all that exertion, we had a nice sumptous KFC lunch. We had a great day out at the zoo!

And that afternoon, while Jie Jie and i had a long snooze at Mama's place, Daddy and Mummy went to the new house to put on the final touches so we could move in soon! Stay tuned!

Christmas at Mama's house

We jumped out of bed on christmas morning, eager to get our hands on our gifts! Here we are with a few of our favourite presents!

Jie Jie received her long awaited microphone

and cash register!

While i received my very own toy handphone

Hello Santa? Are these all the presents already? Are you bringing more?

Merry Xmas! Love, joy and peace to everyone!

The old and the new

A last look at our beloved Lilydale house, a few days before moving over to Mama's place.

The living room in total disarray

All of us sleeping in Mummy and Daddy's master bedroom cos our room was also in disarray

Our room, where we had our meals cos the dining room was too dusty and messy

As you can see from this pic

The kitchen - we really have ALOT of things

And a sneak preview of the new house

The kitchen with its glam mosiac tiles

View from the balcony

Our humongous living room, we'll have so much more space to run about!

Stay tuned for when we finally unveil our new house yah?!

My 1st Birthday!

Preparations are underway for my big birthday party!

That's us packing the goodie bags

Jie Jie you're supposed to back the bags, not play with the goodies!

Look at me, Im doing serious work! Im doing QC on the balloons!

Ok they're elastic all right!

On the day of the party, the function room was filled with a hundred helium filled balloons. Daddy had tried to wheedle Mummy to do the same for Jie Jie's party 3 years ago but helium is a pretty expensive gas and Mummy was not willing to spend the extra money.

Lucky for me, recently she managed to find a cheap lobang for a helium tank and we could have the helium balloons!

All my guests were enjoying themselves while i was happily snoozing away upstairs...

...doing coloring...

...playing on the mini playground...

...trying on party "hats" twisted by Mummy...

...and getting their faces painted

Nobody seemed to miss me! Hmph!

Then i made my grouchy entrance cos Mummy had no choice but to wake me up as it was getting late and no one had even seen the birthday boy yet!

Not even a pretty babe could cheer me up!

I was moody...

...and spaced out...

What? More pics? Tell them to go away Gong Gong!

And then it was time to cut my cake. I love dogs so Mummy specially had a cake made in the shape of a dog, and she also ordered 2 dozen cupcakes with doggy faces on them.

I perked up a little then, cos i was so fascinated by them!

Whoa so many doggys, Mummy!

Everyone clamouring to be near the doggys

Yawn! Can i go back to sleep after this?

Hey i thought this was MY birthday?

Why are all of you blowing out my solitary candle?

Arrrgh ive no heart to look!

Awww man! Now you've got saliva all over my cake!!

Avril: (act blur) Terelle: (oblivious) Xiang Kor Kor: (Sheepish)

Jie Jie helpfully serving cake to the guests

Its a ploy! She actually wanted to sneak off with more cake! MUMMY!!

After much feasting and merry making, all my guests went home. Mummy and Daddy could finally relax now!

Look how ecstatic they are? No more big bashes...till next year? hehe

And then we all adjourned upstairs where i finally "woke up" from my drowsy, moody stupor.

Yay! Time to open my presents!

Ugh! *grunt* Can i play with this now?

Jie Jie being helpful again, helping me tear off the wrapping

(just so she can have 1st pick of the toys!)

Terelle: Errrr Mummy? I think i accidentally tore one of his toys

Thane: Oh thank god thank god my thomas is safe from her!

And on my actual birthday, we went to Swensens for an ice cream treat! Since all birthdays have to be celebrated with ice cream from now on right?

Jie Jie already heartily tucking into my ice cream

I think she is enjoying this more than I am!

I had a great birthday! Thank you everyone who came to my party and gave me lots of presents and ang pows! I love all of you!
