Just before bedtime...

This is how i work off my excess energy before bedtime!



Im good aint i? Anyone want lessons? haha...

Demolishing a chicken wing

This is the first time Mummy let me have a whole chicken wing to myself. And what more, i ate it with my bare hands, savouring every single morsel of meat!

It was so scrumptious that i had a second, and then a third helping...

Look Mummy, all gone! Can i have more please??

Bringing the chalet down...

It was the weekend of our Elmo Show at Down town East so Aunty Stephy booked a chalet and invited all of us over.

Drinking our milk and settling down for our naps

(kara gota drink water...keke)
And what do 5 toddlers, with unlimited energy, do when they get together?

Jump and frolic on the bed of course!!

And look what our Daddies are doing? Eating as usual!!

Finally the long awaited Elmo show! All of us were entranced by the colorful sights on stage, maybe except Kara who dozed off halfway cos she was too tired without her afternoon nap.

Dat's me with all my friends!

Miiiiiiiaow!!

Today we had face painting in school! I remembered the face painting session we had in Bali and was so excited that i rushed to be first in line to get my face done!

Yuan Yuan Lao Shi transformed me into a little cat!!

Little Cat munching daintily (and slowly!!) during snack time

(while everyone else had started singing songs)

Yes? Who called?

Aint i just the cutest?? hehe...

I was so upset when Mummy cleaned off my face paint during my bath that i cried myself to sleep! Boohoo....

Fun at the Water Park!

My school brought us to the Choa Chu Kang Water Park today for some splish splashing fun! Mummy couldnt go into the water with me cos she was still nursing her scalded leg, so Daddy had to take half a day leave and come along!

In the heated wave pool

On the kiddy rides

Clowning around with Daddy

And hitching a ride on my very own Daddy Dugong! heehee...

I kept asking for Kara throughout the outing, unfortunately Aunty Evon was sick so they could not come along. Kara Kara where are u?? *sob*

And the best after swim snack...

Fishballs!!

Mummy was upset that she couldnt join in the fun today, so she promised to take me here again after her leg has healed. Yippee!! I must make sure all my little friends join me then!!

Marriott Stay

okie time for some long awaited posts!

Daddy used his corporate rate to book us a stay at the Marriott, one reason is because Singapore is a really boring place and we've got no better way to spend our weekend, another reason is because my shopping crazy parents wanted to catch the late nite sales at Orchard Road.

On Saturday after my make up class, we met up with Kara and her parents to catch Shrek 3 together! This was our 1st outing to the movies and we enjoyed it immensely, after some initial hiccups where we got abit frightened by the loud sounds emanating from the screen. We settled down to watch the cartoon soon enough, only bothering our daddies at the end of the movie (during the exciting part!!) to take us to the toilet...heehee...

After a yummy chicken rice dinner, we headed back to the hotel where i konked out soon after my bath, cos i didnt take my afternoon nap. My ecstatic parents quickly proceeded to plonk me into my stroller and headed out to shop in peace!

In the executive lounge with Mummy...

...where we had unlimited snacking throughout the day!

The super soft and comfy king sized bed...my favourite!!

I love jumping on it again and again!!

Babes in Bali

Day 1 - 12th April 2007
We went on a week long trip to Bali together with Kara's family to celebrate both our birthdays. I was so happy to be able to go travelling (and wrecking havoc) with my buddy again!

The mischief starts right at the airport!

Since we had just celebrated our 2nd birthday, we were no longer eligible for infant fares. But i wasnt complaining! I had my very own seat and in flight entertainment system! Hey daddy, the extra money u forked out is worth it ok!!

Mesmerised by the cartoons on board

By the time we arrived at the Hard Rock Hotel, it was close to 11pm, way past our bedtime. But that didnt stop us from bringing down the house with our nifty dance moves, while our parents settled the boring check in procedures. Hey its the Hard Rock Hotel ok...uve got to groove baby!!

Day 2 - 13th April 2007
We woke up pretty late today, just in time to catch breakfast at the hotel cafe, cos today was supposed to be spent just exploring the shops around Kuta

Kara and I enjoying our leisurely and sumptous breakfast together!

Mummy i really think ill look nice in this bikini!!

It was sweltering hot as we traipsed around the numerous stalls trying to nab good bargains. Finally we ended up at a brand new shopping centre which Daddy and Mummy claim wasnt there 3 years ago. Aircon!! We couldnt have relished it more!

Our parents wasted no time getting their hands on ice cold mugs of A & W root beer!

Errr Kara...i think our mummies are buying up the whole shop!

All the walking and heat soon got to us, so we had a well deserved snooze in our sarongs while our poor mummies had to lug us around. Ahhh...The luxuries of being a baby!

Our parents couldnt bear the ardous walk back to the hotel, so they grabbed a cab to a rustic little restaurant for lunch. Despite the bumpy and extremely hot ride, we were still snoozing contentedly, oblivious in our little coocoons.

Mummy and Aunty Evon enjoying their authentic Indonesian cuisine..

...before i awoke and destroyed the peace!!!

Ooh...more yummy food!!!

Im HOT!! HOT HOT HOT!!

Uncle Caleb and Kara: Ahhhh terelle, dun take it out on us!!

After refueling, we headed back to the hotel to jump into the expansive and luxurious pool to cool down. We had great fun trying our hand at boogie boarding, with our parents' help of course!

Our pool escapade was rounded off with exciting rides down the water slide. Kara almost got drowned by Daddy cos he was carrying her as they descended down the slide. At the end of the ride, he lost his footing and they both went underwater for a good 5 seconds! Luckily Kara loves the water and although she emerged sputtering, she was none the worse for wear. Me on the other hand...i was traumatised by what i had just witnessed and had to be coaxed and cajoled before i even agreed to go on the slide to try it out!!

2 little mummies all wrapped up after our water play!

We all retired early after a simple KFC dinner, in anticipation of an excursion to the volcano tomoro!

Day 3 - 14th April 2007

Everyone woke up early today cos we were going on an excursion high up the mountains of Bali. The grown ups rented a car with a driver to take us on our mini expedition. It was a long ride though...luckily Kara and I had each other for company or we would have been bored to tears!

Are we there yet???

Entertaining each other during the ride

Pit stop and toilet break!

We finally arrived at the top of the mountain in time for a buffet lunch at a touristy restaurant. The beautiful views and the crisp, cool mountain air made up for the overly inflated price for the buffet lunch!

Views of the volcanic crater and crater lake

Everyone had a leisurely feast, including us!

Satiated by a yummy lunch and lulled by the cool air, us babes drifted off to sleep in our mummies' arms in the car, while the driver took our parents to the edge of the crater lake. They were disappointed though, as it wasnt much to rave about. A few villages, wooden boats and scattered villagers milling about were all there was to it!

Our mummies getting harrassed by the villagers for massages and manicures

Next stop was a monkey reserve where the monkeys there were worshipped like gods by the locals. They were in fact, spoilt rotten and would snatch anything that they fancied right out of the tourists' hands.

Daddy and I having just awoken from our naps in the car

One particularly vicious monkey had his eyes on an unfortunate lady's colorful handbag and proceeded to snatch it for himself. When she resisted, he actually bit her on her arms! We were horrified when we saw her sitting dazedly at the entrance of the park nursing her wounds. There and then our parents decided not to enter the park, lest the monkeys take a fancy to us babes and snatch us out of our mummies arms!! We would be outnumbered by the hordes of monkeys there and wouldnt stand a chance!!

Since we were not going into the park, we decided to grab some ice creams to take the edge off our disappointment. As we were heading back to the car, one greedy monkey cornered poor Uncle Caleb who had to grudgingly give up his ice cream, for fear of his life! Everyone was laughing so hard as we scrambled back to the car, our parents were so afraid the monkeys would come and snatch us away too!

Why u @#$%^&*( monkey!

Our driver suggested that we go for an elephant ride next in the virgin forests. The offer sounded v tempting to our adventurous parents but when we arrived at our destination after another long car ride, we found to our dismay that the prices were way too exorbitant! No way were we going to take an elephant ride that costs 50USD, no matter how natural and rustic the environment was! The elephants back home in the zoo were just as good!

Since it was almost dinnertime by then, we headed to Jimbaran Bay for some seafood. This time we were not disappointed! All of us enjoyed ourselves thoroughly, sitting outside admiring the waves and the setting sun while having drinks before dinner!

Yummy yummy cool coconuts!

Poster boys for Bintang beer!

Finally a nice end to a day of disappointment!

Day 4 - 15th April 2007
Today was spent doing more shopping in the morning before we departed for Club Med in Nusa Dua.

This is what Kara and I got up to while our parents were busy shopping!

It was another hot hot day and we were all melting!!

Back at the hotel where Kara and I had a chess game!

Horray! We're off to Club Med now to be pampered!

Toilet training time! Our mummies making us go butt naked again as soon as we entered our hotel rooms!

I promptly rewarded Mummy's efforts by doing a big one on the floor!! I dont know what the flustered adults did with the incriminating evidence! hehe...

Kara and i playing happily after our baths. We had adjoining rooms so we could run in and out as often as we liked to look for each other!

And then we were off for dinner! With this band i can have unlimited food! (Not that i eat much of it though...to mummy's constant chagrin)

Tearing the boutique apart by dragging all the toys out!

After a sumptous dinner, we all retired to our rooms in anticipation of tomorrow! Mummy and Daddy said that they will be putting us in the Petit Club Med, i wonder what that is?

Day 5 - 16th April 2007

Kara came over early this morning to wake me up, cos she was excited that we were going to the Petit Club together!

Me drinking milk and Kara "drinking" Barney

Our parents dropped us off at the Petit Club immediately after breakfast. We made minimal fuss as we didnt know what was in store for us! I had no idea that we would be left alone with strangers as our parents gadded off to enjoy themselves!!

After a fun filled morning of kayaking, our heartless parents came and checked in on us. Surprisingly we were calm and preparing to take a nap with the teachers. Mummy was so surprised that i actually allowed the teacher to pat me to sleep!

Having assuaged their guilt at dumping us at the Petit Club and satisfied that we were safe and not fussing, our parents headed off for a 3 hour long, guilt free snorkelling trip. We knew they had a great time, cos when they met up with us again, they were radiant and happy! Hmph..is looking after us that draining a task??

See?! Our callous parents could even sneak in time for a massage!

Mummy and Daddy hid behind a tree and watched as all of us trooped to the meeting place with our minders. I was clutching on to my blanket for dear life as it was all that i had to remind me of Mummy! Sob Sob! How could they leave me all alone??

*Sniff Sniff* to think you both can still watch from behind the tree and laugh at me!

Mummy dressing me up as Cleopatra at the Family Fashion Contest

kara and I showing off our makeshift outfits, created by our mummies!

Wah i even got a certificate for participating!

Here's the whole Petit and Mini Club kids and instructors!

After yet another hearty feast, it was time for our kids' fashion show! We were all dressed up in fancy costumes and paraded around the dining area for all the guests to see how cute we were!

2 fairy princesses with our parents' windsurfing instructor!

After an activity filled day, it was time for bed! I wonder what is in store for us tomorrow?
Day 6 - 17th April 2007

We were dropped off at the Petit Club again this morning. This time we protested violently but our parents still sneaked off when we were taking a cry break. Is windsurfing really more important than our emotional well being???

I was pretty distraught during lunch time so Mummy had to come and put me to sleep. When we awoke, we were taken for a picnic in the park and then to a mini race track for a motorised car race. Kara and I were quite intimidated by the noisy cars and boisterous older kids so we just sat by the side and watched. Our parents were back by then cos their sunset cruise was cancelled due to bad weather and we were tearfully reunited...

The kids' program at night was really fun though. We got our faces painted and then trooped off to the disco to dance the night away. We had so much fun that I refused to leave the disco, prompting Aunty Evon to remark thoughtfully that 15 years down the road, would I be the one dragging Kara off to dance parties and discos?? hehe...

My constantly dropping pants is cramping my style!! Mummy!!!!

Day 7 - 18th April 2007

Our parents decided not to put us in the Club today, yippie!! We got to spend the entire day with them! First we went to get our hair braided...

Kara got bored it took so long that she fell asleep!

I soon got bored too so 3 aunties had to quickly braid the rest of my hair while Daddy held me down!

Then we had a game of basketball together...

and rode on the motorised car...cos Aunty Evon begged the instructors to let us have a go at it since we were too afraid to ride it yesterday.

And finally rounded the day off with some swimming!

Day 8 - 19th April 2007

Sob! Its our last day here and we got up extra early to catch our 930am flight home.

Some pictures for the road!

All tucked up for cartoons and a snooze on the plane! I had a blast on this trip! But Mummy and Daddy say that this will be our last trip together as a family of three. They said that they have scored again.....hmmm...i wonder what that means???
