Singapore

It's been a long while since Mummy has updated our blog cos we were holidaying in Singapore! We had fun but it could have been better if it didn't rain as much as it did. Daddy and Mummy planned a lot of nice things and places to do and see, such as going to the Zoo, Universal Studio, Botanical Gardens, indoor Playground, book shops etc.

On our way there
On our second day we went to the Zoo where there is a children's area with pony rides, merry-go-round and super fun water park. But after we got the tickets it was raining so heavily that almost all we could see is the green raincoat that Mummy bought at the Zoo ripped open to cover our pram! And of cos, no water park nor any rides... the visit lasted may be 45 mins max... we managed to see a few monkeys, elephants and some penguins
the funnest part is being in the Zoo gift shop
Third day we were at the Universal Studio! 3 minutes after we got in it started to rain again!! We did the Madagascar Merry-Go-Round for about 6 times to wait for the storm to settle down and off we went doing other rides! Our double stroller got so wet from the rain despite the fact it was under a shelter! My favourite ride is the roller coaster!
This is my parent's way in escaping the queue for taking photos with the characters.... but we were just too busy looking at the Panda and not the camera!
Us trying to navigate and figuring out where to go next
We really love this double stroller! Mika who hates the pram loved sitting here with me!
Daddy had a lot of fun with us all over him all the time!
Since it was raining everyday, Mummy and Daddy decided to take us to the indoor playground Fidgets. Daddy and I went climbing the big girl's stuff straight away...
where Mika stayed at the below 2 area..
but not for too long until she also joined us at the big kids area
we were about 1 storey high here
and I met a boy where I had running competition with
The next day we went to the Science Centre, where we had a lot of fun pressing buttons, looking at fun things, and car rides!
Laa laa laaaaaaaa
Mika got daring and only wanted to be pushed around standing up as if she was driving a forklift, such a weird sight
Our hands
Even at our services apartment we found ways to have fun. I had a great time trying on mummy's new shoes where Mika had fun with the shoe box
Then we played bride and bridesmaid
On the second last day we went to Jacob Ballas children’s garden - the children section of the Botanical Gardens

We had lunch there, look at the lunch box!
We went on the bridge and then it started to rain!!!
Then after 10 mins we went in again after the rain stopped
Here are some photos Mummy took of us while we were enjoying our trip in Singapore

Yap Yap Yap

Right after the new year, I started to talk a lot more understandable words. Now I can say:
  • Mama
  • Daddy
  • ZheZhe
  • Auntie
  • PoPo
  • Gong Gong
  • Yeye
  • Maa Maa
  • Mojo (Daddy's dog in Melbourne)
  • Baji (Maxi)
  • Nunu
  • No no
  • Hot
  • Duck
  • Dog
  • Mau (cat in Chinese)
  • Dumm (throw in Chinese)
  • Drop
  • Mum Mum (food)
  • Sheep
  • Moo (cow)
  • Gock Gock Gock (chicken)
  • Apple
  • Happy
  • Bady (birthday)
  • Baby
  • Milk
  • Sock
  • Shoe
  • Book
  • Bread
  • Open
  • Hi
  • Bye
  • Pretty
Not sure if Mummy has left any. But she reckons I can say more things than ZheZhe when she was my age.

ZheZhe is nicer to me now as I am always nice to her. I love feeding her yummy things and when she cries I always smile at her so that she will smile. We love to kiss by rubbing our heads together, but I don't like it when she holds my hand, I will get really upset and so will she when I cry...

The only time I would let her hold my hand is to play our favourite iPhone games
Matching?
I love looking at myself in the mirror, just like ZheZhe
Being creative
Weather in HK has been super cold, Mummy managed to put 4 layers on my legs.. my Pedi asked Mummy if I was going to North Pole....

Since we have been back..

Since we are back we have...

continued to be silly...

Mika suddenly had an 'Intelligence spurt' and learnt a lot of things. She knows how to feed Maxi his vegetables, and open his hay box and feed him hay
Mika has long enough hair to do little pig tails
and the big news is she can walk! She walked after seeing her friends walk after she is back!
also learnt how to stuff her face by stuffing more food in her mouth and spit it out cos she couldn't chew them, and whinge
