Omni-theatre and Sentosa

Wanting to make the most of this long weekend, we went to two different places today. In the afternoon, we went to Omni-theater to watch a dinosaur movie. It was my first time there, but Daddy and Mummy had been there before.



As we were waiting for the show to start, we went to the playground at the Kinetic Garden in the Science Centre. I had a lot of fun there with Daddy and Mummy even though I got bitten by many mosquitoes.



In the evening, we went to Sentosa for dinner and to see the huge Christmas tree. I also saw Snow White and her prince:



As well as Alice in Wonderland:

Woohoo, it's Christmas!

Christmas started early with Mummy and I going for a midnight mass. Mummy said I was amazing because I kept awake and (quite) quiet throughout. Daddy and Mummy said I was even more amazing when we all stayed up until almost 4am to watch a DVD at home after that.



By the time we woke up, it was almost noon on Christmas Day. We ate lunch then had an afternoon nap before we went to Maggie Lao Ee's house for our usual Chrismas dinner. I ate dinner very quickly as I wanted to get to my presents.



Here's my haul this year! I got a pillow book from Daddy and Mummy, a Hi-5 trolly bag and colour pencils from Ah Ma and Grandpa, a scooter from Jason Ku Ku, a baby umbrella from Ee Ee Rachel, a rabbit soft toy from Maggie Lao Ee and Lao Ku Michael, as well as dresses from Lao Ees Edwina and Eugenia, and Lao Ku Steven.



Ku Ku Edgar also bought me a polar bear snow globe to add to my zoo collection. I now have two from Ku Ku (including the giraffes that he had bought me from London), and one each from Daddy and Mummy from Canada and Hong Kong respectively.

Christmas eve

Yay, today's the start of a long Christmas weekend and I can't wait for tomorrow to come so that I can open all my presents! I hope it doesn't rain as much tomorrow as it did today, although I suppose I did have some fun in the rain.



We went out to Suntec City for dinner this evening, where we coincidentally bumped into Grandpa, Ah Ma and Edwna Lao Ee. There was a huge gingerbread house at Suntec City that made Mummy go waaaaaah.



You see, Mummy really likes gingerbread houses. Which is why Daddy had bought this for her a Christmas present:

Yamaha friends

Today's my last Yamaha class for the year before we break for Christmas and New Year. Because we have all been good children the whole year, my teacher gave each of us a Christmas present. Till next year everyone!

Gingerbread girl

Mummy went out for an outing with her office friends today. When she came to pick me up, she handed me a gingerbread girl that her boss had bought for me. Look, almost all gone! None for Mummy and Daddy, haha.

O' Christmas trees

There's a Christmas tree in my school! I like Christmas trees and I like Christmas because it means that I'll get many many presents.



There was also a Christmas tree at the shopping centre that we went to over the weekend. That was a really huge tree though, much much taller than me.

New shopping centre

Daddy heard that a new shopping centre had just opened in Changi, so we decided to go there for dinner today. We ate at a Japanese restaurant, and as we were waiting for the food, I decided to try and eat the sushi seat.



After dinner, we walked around a bit and came across a shop that sold cupcakes. I was eager to show off my new baking skills and pestered Daddy and Mummy to let me decorate one. Here I am testing out the cream first to see if it's nice:



Ta-da, here's my creation! My pink clothes really matches the decor of the place doesn't it?

Baking camp

Daddy and Mummy signed me up for a baking camp in school this week. Yesterday, I made pizza. First I flattened the dough. Then I spread tomato sauce on top of the round dough, and sprinkled cheese, mushroom and ham on it. The pizza then went into the oven, and when it came out, it was ready for me to eat for lunch!



Today I made butter cookies. There were heart shapes, flowers, and a girl, and I decorated all of them with chocolate and cream. I brought them home to share with Daddy and Mummy, and the cookies were so yummy that Daddy and Mummy finished all of them.

Puss in Boots and Muddy mud pie

Mummy and I went out with Auntie Dorcas this evening when Daddy was working late. We watched Puss in Boots, where I saw a boy cat and a girl cat. After the movie, we went to eat yummy muddy mud pie.

See my teeth? I'm the chocolate monster, roarr!

Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig is one of my favourite shows that I started watching when I was in the UK. How's my imitation of her?

Princess wall stickers

We had bought some Disney Princess wall stickers when we were in Vietnam, and I couldn't wait to re-decorate my room. Here I am helping Daddy and Mummy to take down the pictures that were on my cupboard.



Ta-da, all done! Can you see the princesses stickers, as well as the Snow White balloon that we bought in Vietnam too?

East Coast

Today is the last day that Daddy and Mummy are on leave. We decided to go to East Coast Park as we have been saying for a while that we wanted to do so. This is me being mischievous on the sand.

Vietnam continued

After realising that we didn't have much to do in Hanoi itself, we took another day trip out of Hanoi. This time, we took a shorter bus trip to Hoa Lu, which was the ancient capital of Vietnam in the 10th century. As it was a last-minute trip, we didn't go with our usual tour guide Tim.

At Hoa Lu, we spent some time on a tiny boat, where two ladies rowed us around the caves.



I also tried my hand at rowing!





This is Uncle Tim, our tour guide for most of the few days that we spent in Vietnam.

Hanoi and Halong Bay

Daddy and Mummy decided to go to Vietnam for a few days for our year-end holiday. We stayed at Hanoi, where we did a bit of sightseeing with a local tour guide, and tried to learn to cross the road without being knocked down by the many scooters on the way. The first place that we went to yesterday was the Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum, but we didn't go inside as it is closed on Mondays.



Our tour guide brought us to Halong Bay today. The bus ride there was almost 4 hours, and we stopped along the way at a rest stop. I saw many young ladies sewing pretty pictures there, and I was fascinated. The bus almost left us behind because I refused to leave the place!



We took a cruise when we got to Halong Bay. The wind was so strong..



... and the food was good!

We also took a small motor boat to get closer to the limestone caves. Do I look cool in orange?

Supercute rabbit

I drew this today. Isn't it a supercute rabbit? =)

Candylicious

Daddy's office had a competition this morning, and Daddy brought Mummy and I to Sentosa to cheer him on as he played captain's ball. Daddy's team didn't win though, and I think he was aching all over after playing for only a short while. Before we left Sentosa, we stopped by Candylicious to take photos with the giant candy:

After the photo-taking, Mummy asked if I wanted to go into the shop and if I could promise that I wouldn't ask them to buy any sweets for me. There were so many sweets inside the shop, but I remembered my promise and didn't make a fuss when it was time to go. Daddy and Mummy say that I'm a really good girl.

Party party party

Mummy's office had a party today, and she invited me to be her date. I was so excited and couldn't wait for Mummy to pick me up from school. I ate a lot of rubbish at the party, like strawberry ice-cream, popcorn and pink cotton candy. I also asked the artist lady to paint a picture of a fairy on my arm, and asked the ballon man to make me a hello kitty!

Dishes

I decided to be a good girl today, and volunteered to help Mummy with the dishes. It's fun to play with soap and water, haha.

Puzzle and sushi

Daddy had to attend a friend's wedding dinner tonight, so it was only Mummy and I at home. I spent some time piecing together my princess jigsaw puzzle.



Mummy then asked whether I wanted to eat dinner out or at home. I thought about it for a while, and with a big grin, proclaimed that I wanted to eat sushi. Here I am at Sakae, eating my favourite fried tofu:

Swollen foot

My foot was bitten by a mosquito, and it looks awfuly swollen now =(

Off with my hair

When Mummy asked me if I wanted to cut my hair today, I readily agreed so that I could watch Barney at the shop as my hair was being cut.



How do I look with short hair? Mummy says I look much cuter now, while Daddy says that I look younger.

Seahorse satay

I had a craving for yummy satay today so Mummy bought some for dinner. As I was eating, I found a really special one that looked like a seahorse.

Pretty surprises

As we were going to our car to drive to Lao Ee's house for dinner, we came across a pretty pink car in the carpark. Wah, it matches my pink skirt:



When we got to Lao Ee's house, I got another nice surprise. Edgar Ku Ku had just come back from a trip to London, and he had bought me a present. Yay, it's a yellow snow globe with giraffes, and I can add this to my growing collection of snow globe animals.

Home-made hand-made necklace

I was bored today, and decided I wanted a new necklace. I asked Mummy to make me one in purple, blue and green, and she and Daddy readily agreed. They started cutting strips of coloured paper, and I helped them to roll each strip into a bead.



Ta-da! Can you see the purple-blue-green necklace hanging on my door knob? I have many necklaces don't I? =)

Hello Kitty

One of my favourite hobbies is to draw. I have many colour pencils, crayons and markers, as well as many notebooks for me to doodle in. See my Hello Kitty :)
