Further to the backdated post with video clips, Auntie Sherrie gave me a CD-rom of the pix she took that day.  I didn’t bring my camera, cos it would be a NIGHTMARE handling an SLR with 3 kids, all by myself!  So here are the pix, compliments of Auntie Sherrie!

postdated to 28th May 2009 During my 2 mths without a maid, I brought the 3 kids to the zoo, yes… all by myself! I brought along the travel potty so that we do not need to rush to find a toilet for Toria, can’t imagine doing that with a girl almost wetting her pants, [...]

Daddy had not been to the zoo with us for the loooooongest time.  Today, weather was nice, so we made a trip there.  Daddy was amazed at how much the zoo had changed! (yah.. his last time there was maybe before Toria was born…) The kids refused to feed the giraffe this time round, cos [...]

The kids weren’t too well today.  Toria vomited several times since morning, then Donald had diarrhea, which forced us to buy a new set of clothes for him and borrowed their toilet to wash his bum.  Think they might had caught a bug in genting… So we stayed in the hotel and slept most of [...]

Today, we say goodbye to Genting. (BTW, I drove the entire way up to Genting, cos Daddy was too exhausted.  All the while, my dad drove us there for hols, this time was my 1st time driving MY kids up for a hols… ah…feel like a parent yet? ) This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia Flash.

We had lunch at the indoor area first.  Bak Kut Teh… well, it not fantastic but costed us an arm and leg, it was RM80++ We bought the ALL PARKS tickets and off we went. My last trip here was in 1990 (i think), with my basketball friends from NYGH and Chinese High.  I only [...]

We booked the deluxe room and it was really spacious.  We pushed the twin bed together, and all 3 kids plus me, slept on the bed.  Daddy bought 2 air-bed from coleman, and both he and Oma slept on that. Today, we are checking out and proceeding to Genting Highlands.   Daddy stopped by at [...]

Even though Daddy came along with us on this drive up holiday, he still had conference calls to take every morning.  So we brought everyone out of the hotel room so that he could do his calls in peace and quietness.  We bought some bubbles toy last night, while walking towards Gurney Drive, so the [...]

We were supposed to leave on 29th May, when our newly employed maid of 4 days dropped a bomb on us.  She said she think she cannot handle 3 kids! Anyway, that’s a whole other story, will share that in another post. She told us at about 730pm, the agency is closed, so there’s no [...]

We were already booked for a 8 days trip to Tokyo on the 29th May, but due to the H1N1 outbreak, we decided to monitor the situation but all bookings were still on “go”.  Until the final few days, the outbreak spread to Tokyo… Alas, what was not meant to be… we had to cancel [...]

Told ya… with maid, we weren’t so “gung-ho”.  Now without maid, we are like testing our limits, bringing them here and there!  We went into Msia early in the morning to service the car and change tyres.  We came out in the late afternoon, and Daddy suggested Sentosa since weather was alright!  We weren’t even [...]

Silly us… when we had a helper, we never did such an adventure.  Now with no helper, we “itchy backside”, went to Changi Village for breakfast, but instead decided to have an unplanned-for adventure in Pulau Ubin.  Thank goodness for my new found “helper”… my BECO carrier! We took the boat ride over and had [...]

We went to the same place for breakfast again. Today is Del’s birthday.  Was suppose to give her an off day today, but too bad, we had to come for this trip, so postponed her off day to next weekend.  I bought a little cake from the hotel cafe, and celebrated for her at the [...]

We were all exhausted, so we started the day a little later.  Breakfast was almost 10am. We walked all the way thru Jonker Street and went to this coffeeshop, famous for it’s wanton mee.  It is really yummy.  I would say that it is nicer than the Pontian Wanton mee.

It is school holidays.  Initially we had not planned to go anywhere.  But Daddy completed a 21 day fast, which ended on the Thursday 19/3.  I suggested going to Malacca, so that he can eat some of his favorite food, as a reward.  He was glad, cos he really likes to drive up to Malaysia, [...]

Valentines Day… candlelight dinner for 2? Nah……. Hot sweaty Pontian Trip for a Family of 6 (including maid). Early morning, we took off, drove up to Pontian and had breakfast at this corner coffeeshop.  Their noodles with black sauce is YUMMY!  They also have small little packets, costing RM0.50 each, some are nasi lemak, some [...]

Thanks to Auntie Carol, she referred us to attend a talk by Marriot Vacation Club, so we went for it and received a token gift in return.  We had to choose between a 2D1N stay in Ritz Carlton or a $200 CK Tangs voucher.  We chose the stay in Ritz Carlton cos I can’t travel [...]

Daddy said that Beijing, because of the Olympics, is the nicest and cleanest city he had seen!  Mummy had been there twice, back in early 1990s, but from Daddy’s pix, Beijing is really very different now.  Must find a chance to go back there again.

"Forced" to take this group picture in front of Trussards… turned out REALLY nice! Although it was really hard to make the two 4 year old boys to stay still and look at the camera! So you can see 1 hand locking Joshua’s head, and 1 hand on Donald’s neck! This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia [...]

We took the tram to the peak, which was climbing at a 45 deg incline.  Read from the internet that we will be able to see some breathtaking views if we sit on the right side going upwards and so we did.  When the city view came into site, it was really nice, took a [...]

Today is our last full day in HKG. Our plan is to visit Ocean Park, then followed by dinner at the Peak and Mdm Trussards if possible. The weather was not extremely hot today, so it was quite enjoyable. Once we reached the park, Sherrie and me sat down and started to plan our route. [...]

It’s time to say goodbye to Disneyland. We had a buffet breakfast at Chef Mickey, booked 2 taxis and took off for the Main Island. I had to be in charge of the luggage, so Donald stepped up and was in charge to push Toria in the pram. This SimpleViewer gallery requires Macromedia Flash. Please [...]

We booked a package with UOB Travel Planners. It includes a 2 nights stay in Disney Hollywood Hotel . It is cheaper than the Disneyland hotel, but it is very nice too and we felt that it was sufficient for us. My 2 feedback is that I wished that there was room service, because I [...]
