Top of the car

Mummy was late today, so Daddy and I had to wait for her after Daddy picked me up from the childcare centre. Daddy had just washed his car the day before, and he thought it was a good idea to have me pose with his clean car. And this is the state in which Mummy found us:

Science centre

Ah Ma managed to get free tickets to the science centre, so Daddy, Mummy and I went there with Ah Ma and Grandpa today.



It was my first visit to the science centre. I saw many funny things, like the mirror that made me look like I was a princess with long golden hair.



There was also a water play area that looked very fun. Mummy didn't want me to play there as I didn't have a change of clothes with me, but Daddy promised Mummy that he would take care of me and not get me wet. In the end, I was soaked! I think Mummy was angry with Daddy haha, as Mummy had to clean me up after Daddy had all the fun with me.



Later in the day, I came across a huge dinosaur footprint as we were leaving the science centre. Hear me roarrrrr!

Luck

Grandpa frequently plays the lottery and he got a little lucky last week. To celebrate, he and Ah Ma treated us to a seafood dinner. Here is a photo of me and my Lao Ma enjoying our meal:

Family Christmas dinner

Christmas is Mummy's favourite time of the year. It is a special time because it's one of the few times that her whole big family - all her uncles and aunties and cousins - gets together to eat and have fun. The party is usually at Grandpa's and Ah Ma's house, but this year it was held at Ee Ee Rachael's house instead.

Look at the spread of food this year:



Here is a photo of my Ah Ma and her three sisters (my three Lao Ees). Ah Ma also has a brother (my Lao Gu), but he is not in the photo.



Oooh, here is my haul of presents from everyone who loves me:



Ee Ee Rachael and I were the only two people who received presents these year, and we eagerly opened our presents. I love reading, and I made Daddy read the Disney book which curly-hair Lao Ee bought for me:



I played with some of my other presents when I got home - The little doggy from Daddy and Mummy, the vacuum cleaner from Gu Gu Jason and Auntie Michelle, the colouring bear from Ee Ee Rachael and her parents, and the dress from Ah Ma and Grandpa:

Christmas morning at Jurong Bird Park

We decided to visit the bird park this morning as Mummy had some free tickets. This is my second visit, but my first visit was so long ago that I hardly remember anything about it.

There were many different types of birds, and I tried to be like a bird too.



Not all the birds were friendly though. The big pelican tried to eat my hand.



The baby penguin was very cute though. Just like me =D



In fact, the penguins were so cute that I wanted to bring one home. And I got my wish! There was a nice lady, who was dressed up as a fairy, who helped me to paint a funky penguin on my arm:

Colour pencil ears

After finishing dinner at Ye Ye's and Nai Nai's house, I sat down in the living room to do some colouring. Daddy watched me for a while as I coloured some pictures but he soon got bored. He then started colouring with me, but also gave up after a while. The next thing I knew, Daddy asked me to look at him. I burst out laughing and demanded that he help me to grow colour pencil ears too. I love my silly Daddy!

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.
