Last day

While I've already had my K2 graduation ceremony last month, today is the very last day that I will actually be a student in Kinderland. Good bye to all my teachers and friends!

Night Safari

I went to the Night Safari for the first time tonight. I was very scared at first, and held Daddy's and Mummy's hands tightly as we sat on the train that would bring us around to see the animals. See the hei pao (black panther) eyes above me, roaaar!

Painter

Daddy and Mummy decided to renovate our house a little, including painting the walls, and building new cupboards and a writing desk in my room. Look at me being a good little painter: 

Hort Park and Henderson Wave

I always see a wavy-curvy bridge on our way to Ye Ye's and Nai Nai's house, and I keep asking Daddy and Mummy if we could take a walk on it. My wish finally came true today, haha.

The leaves there are gigantic, even bigger than my face:

As we walked along the bridge, we came across a heart-shaped pattern on the ground: 

After our walk, we went to Hort Park for lunch. I saw a wall there with many pretty shiny jewels. Nice!

Merry Christmas

I love Christmas! As is our tradition every year, we had dinner with Mummy's family, where I got to meet my aunties, uncles, grand aunties and grand uncles. I'm the only little baby there, so many of them will buy presents for me :D Thank you everyone for making me so happy today! 

Sleepover

I had a good idea sometime back and had asked Mummy if my friends could come to our house for a sleepover. Mummy knew that I wouldn't have many more chances to see my friends once we went to primary school next year, so she had agreed. 

This was us having some fun before we went to bed last night:

We didn't sleep a lot because we kept talking. This morning, we also woke up very early because we were all so excited. After breakfast, we did art and craft at home for a while before we decided we wanted to go down to the playground: 

I  hope to see my friends again soon!

Christmas party

We had a Christmas party in school today. We exchanged presents and ate a lot of goodies, and I had a lot of fun playing with my friends. I also didn't have to wear my uniform and could wear party clothes. Is my Christmas hairband nice?

Ho ho ho

A few of my friends and I had been asked if we wanted to join Mummy's colleagues to sing Christmas songs in the office. I had very eagerly agreed, because we spent some time in school practising the songs. We finally got our chance to sing the Christmas songs today as well as two days ago. Do you think we sang well?

Movie date #2

I'm so happy again today! Mummy took half a day's leave this afternoon just so that she could bring me out with my friends for a movie date. This time, we watched Hotel Transylvania.

Oh yes, look what I found when we were walking around the shopping centre waiting for the movie to start? My favourite Captain America and Daddy's favourite Incredible Hulk. Aren't they cute?

Overnight camp

I woke up excited yesterday because I was going to go for an overnight camp. It will be the first time that I will be spending the night without Daddy or Mummy or my grandparents. I think that Mummy was sad though, because she will miss me very much. 

This is a photo of my friends and I at the overnight camp. We had a lot of fun!

Loose tooth

Does my loose tooth look scary? I can turn it sideways, haha.  

Handphone artist

Mummy has been looking around for a cover for her handphone. She keeps going into shops but hasn't been able to find a nice one. This evening, when Mummy had to stay in office late, Daddy and I decided to surprise her  by making our own cover. We bought a white case from the pasar malam and I drew a picture of Mummy and I. Did you notice that Daddy is not in the picture? Heehee, that's because I didn't leave enough space for him!

Daddy then helped to paint my drawing:

I am so sad now though, because the colours wouldn't stay on the cover and we had to wipe the paint off. But it's ok, Mummy still has a nice cover with a drawing of two of us in black and white. I love you Mummy! 

Jewellery and sheep

One of Daddy's cousins got married today. Unlike other Sundays when Daddy and Mummy do not allow me to wake up early, I'm so happy that we had to wake up early today to go to Daddy's cousin's house. I like waking up early because I get to play a lot.

In the evening, we went for the wedding dinner at Marina Bay Sands. After the dinner, as we were walking back to our car, we came across a shop that sells shiny jewellery. Look how bright they are!

We also saw a shop that had little sheep in the window display. They are so cute and they are dressed in the same colours as me, haha. 

Movie with my friends

I woke up very excited today. Mummy and some of my friends' Mummies had arranged to bring all their babies out for a movie this evening. I can't wait for school to be over so that we can watch Rise of the Guardians. Look how happy we are!

Star Wars

Look who I saw at Ikea today. May the (Christmas) force be with you!

Last day in Taiwan

Today is the last day of our holiday. This morning, we went to the Sun Yat Sen Memorial for a quick visit.  

We then did some last minute shopping. The mrt station at Sogo was very pretty, as there were many colourful pictures on the walls. 

I have really enjoyed myself very much over the past week. As with all other holidays, the thing that I love best about holidays is that I get to sleep in Daddy's and Mummy's room, haha. Till next time!

Taiwan - Day 7

As the sky was already dark by the time we reached our hotel yesterday, we didn't get a chance to fully appreciate the view. This morning, we woke up extra early so that we could explore the resort. This is the amazing view from our room, where I could watch giraffes and zebras as I drank my morning milk.  

This is how the inside of the hotel room looks like. It's painted bright pink and has a safari theme as well. 

 

This is what we saw on our way to breakfast. So many animals, and so closed-up!

It's almost the end of our holiday, and we made our way back to Taipei today. We had lunch at the 85th floor of Taipei 101, the tallest building in Taipei. 

I love Taiwan, and I love Daddy and Mummy for bringing me on holiday!

Taiwan - Day 6

Today must have been the best day of our holiday so far! We spent the day at Leo Foo Village Theme Park, where I got to ride on a camel, sat in a horse-drawn carriage with Mummy, a boat with Daddy and Mummy, as well as many, many roller coaster rides with Daddy.

Even the lunch at the theme park was interesting: 

After a long day of fun in the sun, we checked in at Leo Foo Resort Guanshi, which is supposed to be Asia's only African-themed safari resort. After dinner, we watched a performance by a group from Kenya. And just when I thought my day couldn't get more exciting, it did! Watch the performers pick me up and swing me into the air. 

Taiwan - Day 5

Today is Day 5 of our trip, and we are halfway through our holiday already. We went to Wen Wu Temple in the morning, followed by a cruise on the nearby Sun Moon Lake.

This is the new friend that I made on the trip. She's only 3 years old, but we played hard and laughed crazily together. 

Taiwan - Day 4

Our first stop for the day was Mei Non Hakka Village. Daddy and Mummy bought me some fish food to feed the fishes in the pond, and I got to try my hand at fetching water from a well.

In the afternoon, we went to Ten Drum Culture Village, where we had fun playing with drums and watching a drum performance.

Finally in the evening, we stopped for a short while at the Salt Mountain in Tainan Chi Gu. It's not really a mountain though, just a small hill that I could climb and reach the top in less than 5 minutes... We also reached there too late to try the salty ice cream, so sad.

Taiwan - Day 3

We had spent the night in Hualien yesterday, and this morning, we visited the Taroko Gorge. When we were there, we saw the Temple of Eternal Spring, which commemorates the persons who had lost their lives building the highway. 

In the evening, we checked in at the Hot Spring Resort in Taitung, where we would spend the night. I was a bit disappointed when I found out that the "hot spring" was actually just a bathtub in our hotel room. But it's ok, because after dinner, I felt like I was Rapunzel in the movie Tangled! Mummy and I got to light a paper lantern and watch it float up into the sky. Cool yeah?

Taiwan - Day 2

Our first stop of the day was to Yeliu Scenic Area to see geological rock formations. I spent some time looking for sea shells as well as tried to spot funny-shaped rocks. I think I saw a dinosaur, a snake, a leopard and an elephant's nose.  

For lunch, we went to a hillside village called Chiufen. I must have been a very good girl today, because Mummy broke her own rule about not ever buying me lollipops and got me a malt candy stick. She also bought me a packet of chewing gums, haha. 

Taiwan - Day 1

Daddy, Mummy and I woke up very early this morning as we had to reach the airport by 5.30 am. I was very excited, because we were going on a holiday to Taiwan! As part of the tour, we would be going to Taipei, Hualien, Taitung, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Nantou, Taichung and Hsinchu.

We arrived in Taipei in the afternoon, where our first stop was to Tamshui Old Street. There was a man selling bubble guns there, and I had great fun playing with the giant bubbles: 

Our next stop was to Shihlin Night Market for dinner and some shopping.

I had a lot of fun at one of the fish stalls, where I had the chance to catch fishes with a net.
