2010 Pictures update!

Blogging is really something that once you stop for a long time its hard to get started again….

Been wanting to post an entry for the longest time but keep procrastinating… So many things took place since my last entry I didn’t know when to start…

So, I’ll start with pictures! Pictures paint a thousand words don’t they?

These are pictures of Jaelyn & me. And all taken at the happiest moments of my life in 2010. The period that I was not working!

During my jobless days, I bought Jaelyn & her best friend, Faith, for a movie treat! Shrek Forever After! It’s amazing how they get along so well with each other, just like sisters!

 

Somewhere in May this year, Jaelyn got a prolong cough which eventually led to a slight lung infection. She has to be on the Nebulizer for 3 days. I was so heart pain to see her struggling to have that Nebulizer on. But Jaelyn is always a strong girl, after a few struggles, she was even able to hold the inhaler herself. My brave Princess!

 

Daddy taught Jaelyn these “Kawaii” poses when she returned home after I recovered from chicken poxy.

Before I embarked on my new job, we went to KL for a short getaway! Really appreciate our Changi airport!

Thanks to my cousin, Huimin, we managed to get  to a few places in the short 3D2N trip. Besides KLCC, we went to Batu cave! Oh man… It’s really sweaty to climb the stairs up to the cave. Then we went to a mega shopping mall, Sunway Pyramid. We shopped the whole day there and bought nothing! Haha… We even went to the Light City at Selangor. It’s really beautiful!

 

Just last month, in October 2010, Jaelyn has her first play date ever with Jayvon, Eljaz and Justin. Truly a “J” affair. It was her first visit to Polliwog at East Coast and yes, she really enjoyed herself. So much so that she didn’t want to go home. And of course, from the picture, you know her favorite is the ball pit! Because there are so many pink balls!

Ok… for now, let’s end off with this pretty picture of Jaelyn attending Uncle Royston’s wedding on the 2nd October 2010.

December 09 Holiday

Last December was a very special one. It’s the first time in the last four years that I can take leave in December! For the first time the auditors left before Christmas. Hoo Hoo!!!

First, I went to Malacca with my hubby (without our princess)! Our long awaited holiday!

The famous Red Building… Oh.. and we have a nice coffee in one of the cafe in Jonker Street. I like the artwork done! Reminds me of Coffee Prince, a Korea drama.

Walking around beautiful Malacca…

Nice food… nice scenery… That’s my Malacca Trip in a nutshell!

Next… to make up for Jaelyn’s loss, we brought her to Batam!

Hmm… I must say our trip to Batam is quite a boring one… Didn’t enjoy the shopping there too… It’s just a listless weekend. But love spending time with my princess! Look how happy she is!

Last Day of HK Trip

We were so disappointed with the crowd and the cancelled firework that we said never to go Disneyland again.

BUT…

Back at Disneyland

Photo-taking with Disney characters!

But we were bored in the hotel and we have some hours to spend before boarding the plane… Heehee… We decided to give Disney a second chance.

Overall we have enjoyed ourselves though I feel more tired after the trip. I’m glad we spend some real quality time together as a family.

Jaelyn’s loots!

P/S: Special thanks to Daddy’s portable DVD player that kept Jaelyn entertained with Hi-5 throughout the whole trip!

Hong Kong Day 4

Breakfast at a Tim Sum restaurant near our hotel before heading to Disneyland @ Lantau Island

We checked in at Hollywood Disney Hotel for our final stay

@ Disneyland

After checking in to the hotel, we went straight to Disneyland with no time to waste. We managed to watch the parade and also took a few rides… Jaelyn loves Cinderella Carousel the most!

Hot summer in a crowded Disneyland… We waited for the fireworks and to our dismay it was cancelled!!! So disappointed…

Hong Kong Trip Day 3 - Macau

We planned to go Macau on Day 3!

At the Ferry Terminal @ Tsim Sha Tsui

We took a cab from our hotel to the Ferry Terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui and realised it is actually quite cheap to take cab in Hong Kong! Only S$6! Oh man… why did we bother to travel via MTR and walk the distance???!!!!

Anyway, it was sunny at Hong Kong but not at MACAU! The journey there was a bumpy one! The sea was super rough, everyone experienced sea sick especially my poor daughter! She was crying and crying all the way until the last 15min of the 1hour ferry ride. And she lost all her appetite!

And it was raining the whole time at Macau… sigh…

@ Venetian Casino

We visited Venetian Casino and that’s about all for our trip to Macau as we couldn’t imagine the journey back to Hong Kong via the ferry and how is Jaelyn going to take it.

Super spacious Nursing Room @ Venetian Casino

I don’t really like Macau. Don’t think I will go again… My poor darling suffered real bad sea sickness and she was just so happy to be back at the hotel… What a day wasted :(

Hong Kong Trip Day 2

We met up with Fay, my SOT friend, the night before for dinner and dessert… was such a long Day 1 that Jaelyn slept till almost 11am the next day… Thank God it was a free and easy trip with no much agenda… We left hotel at about 12.30pm for another new adventure...

Jaelyn well rested! Tim Sum Lunch @ Causeway Bay

Stanley Market

We met up with Grace and Jessica and planned our route for the day.. First off, we took a bus to Stanley Market! Thank God for friends!!!

Then we headed to the PEAK and Madam Tussaud Museum. It was a long journey from Stanley… we took a bus to Central… was a bit lost and horrified by the walking distance from Central to the PEAK TRAM station!

My JJ performing side by side with Marilyn Monroe @ Mdm Tussaud

It was a rainy day in Hong Kong so it was rather cloudy up on the PEAK. But still the lights in Hong Kong look beautiful! My camera battery went flat by the time we reached the PEAK… so sad :(

Though it is easy to get around in Hong Kong via MTR, not all MTR stations has escalator, in fact most MTR stations don’t. There’s always flights of stairs and to add on to that, the walking distance to a destination from MTR station can be very very long far. Jaelyn doesn’t stay in her stroller all the time and that made my journey double triple tiring… I ended Day 2 with both arms and legs aching…

Hong Kong Trip Day 1

Date: 21 Jun 2009

Yup! We are on our way to Hong Kong… Not yet but on the way to…

I can’t sleep the whole night before the trip… super anxious! It’s our first Family Holiday!!! First overseas trip with Jaelyn!

In Hong Kong! The Airport Express!!!

The flight journey was a nightmare for me! Jaelyn’s first aeroplane ride is no fun at all! She just can’t stand being confined to a seat and she hated seat belt! She cried through 80% of the journey… She didn’t want to be seated. She wants to walk around BUT hello, we are on the plane! I’m staring at the screen in front of me for the “time to reach destination” almost every minute hoping the time will pass faster. To make thing worst, the passenger sitting next to us was not the least friendly, making irritated sigh all the time. Jaelyn finally dozed off 45 minutes before we touch down and yah… only 45 minutes nap for her. Once we landed, she woke up, ready to run!

Anyway, finally reached Hong Kong at 2.45pm. We cleared the custom after a long queue. And it’s health declaration and all officers with mask on. We bought the 3 days unlimited use Octopus Card and headed for our Airport Express ride. The train was impressive. Fast and comfy. We reached Kowloon station in less than 30minutes. Then we took the free shuttle bus to our hotel- Cityview Hotel.
