Jet plane

My favourite song this past few weeks has been "Leaving on a Jet Plane" and I can sing along during the chorus when Mummy plays the mp3 on her phone. Imagine my joy when we went out for dinner tonight and I saw on the kids menu a set meal that came on a jet plane. I happily ate my food and refused to believe Daddy when he told me that my food was actually on a space shuttle. Daddy tricks me all the time, so he's just trying to bluff me again this time.

Penang

We went to Penang for our final holiday of the year. The beach was right at the door step of our hotel, and Daddy and I picked up many sea shells to give to Mummy as well as to bring home to put in my fish tank.



We also went for a half-day sightseeing tour. The tour guide uncle brought us to a number of famous places, such as a temple which had many snakes, as well as shops where we bought many boxes of tau sar piah and chocolates. He also brought us to a jetty, where he lent me his binoculars to see the boats that were out at sea.



I even saw some monkeys when we stopped at a fruit plantation. The baby monkey was very cute, and the uncle gave us a banana to feed the monkey:



The hotel that we stayed at was a little bit old. But it had a small playground, and as with many of our other holidays, I had a photo taken of me on the swing.



The most special thing that I really liked about this hotel was that I had my own bed! It was very cosy, and Daddy told me that I was very lucky to have a first-class seat. Don't I look very contented with my milk bottle, all snuggled up under the blanket?

Monkey faces

I recently realised how fun and funny it is to make monkey faces when Mummy tries to take photos of me. Here is a collection of some of my best shots:

Bob the Builder

I think Bob the Builder is a handsome man. I also want to be like Bob the Builder, so when Granduncle Michael wanted help to fix his chairs, I readily volunteered.

Stitch

We went to Bugis Junction to do some Christmas shopping today. As we were walked in and out of many shops, I spotted a gigantic Stitch! Maybe this is the Daddy of the baby soft-toy Stitch that I have at home?

Family holiday in Bintan

As Nai Nai often says that we don't bring her along when we go overseas, Daddy and Mummy decided to treat both sets of my grandparents to a short family holiday in Bintan.



This is my third time in Bintan. The first time was with Daddy and Mummy 2 years ago, while the second time was with Daddy's and Mummy's friends last year. I like the beach as it is not very crowded, and there are fishes and baby crabs.



I always make Daddy and Mummy buy ice-cream for me when we eat at Pasar Oleh Oleh.



This time round, instead of staying in a room, we rented a villa so that all of us can stay together in one big house. As the villa was some distance away from the main building, Daddy would drive us around in the buggy.



We spent some time in the activity centre, where Ah Ma taught me to play table tennis.

Daddy took the chance to show off his strong muscles.

I really enjoy going on holidays. You know why? Because Mummy lets me eat a lot of junk food when we are away, yummy!

Favourite things

I miss our flat in Cambridge, where I can just open the door and run out into the playground. There is hardly enough space for me to run about and use up my energy. Daddy and Mummy say that I make too much noise when I am cooped up at home, so we went to Tiong Bahru park today. We go there once in a while, as there is a playground with sand and swings, as well as a pond with tortoises - these are a few of my favourite things!

Rapunzel

Knowing how much I love Disney princesses, Daddy and Mummy brought me to watch the new Rapunzel movie today. Her long golden hair is so pretty, and the thief is so handsome. More handsome than my Daddy I think.

Kiwi bliss

After dinner at Ye Ye's and Nai Nai's house today, Ye Ye cut a bowl of kiwi for me to eat. It was a little bit sour, but I enjoyed sitting on the swing and eating at the same time. Daddy and Mummy say that I look very contented and happy.

While Daddy was away

Since Daddy would be away for so long, I decided that I wouldn't stay at home and pine for Daddy but instead enjoy my time alone with Mummy.

We went shopping for new clothes,



... and we played dressing up as a monkey,



... as well as in my new clothes.



We put together a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle,

... and played hide-and-seek, as well as "you can't see me because I'm under the blanket".

Then we went for dinner along Orchard Road,

... and decorated ourselves for some Christmas cheer. Mummy even made me a red rose ring out of pearls and buttons.

All in all, I had fun with Mummy. I miss Daddy too, and both of us can't wait for him to come back tomorrow!
