New family members

Since we are used to having a zoo at home, I suddenly really wanted a guinea pig, and then Mika also really wanted one, so we worked sooo hard on the reward chart and we finally earned our own pets! Even before we got them I wanted a tan and white colour one called Pepa and Mika wanted a black, white and tan one called Sushi and we found exactly what we wanted! Especially when Sushi squeaked at Mika as soon as Mika looked at Sushi! 

Bringing them home from Gaya Street market

 Meet Pepa and Sushi

 We helped Rubien found new hope in his life, ever since Maxi left Rubien shut himself out, and now he was a new interest

 Then Mummy also went and got a curly one called Coco,named by Popo

 The pigs get to come out for grass time

 and running around the living room. We are really happy with our new family members!

Bits and pieces

Life is KK is not that exciting really,so we try to make things more fun for us! Recently we watched the Lego movie, we liked it so much!

Can you see me, and Mika in this photo? 

 When we were sitting down, Mika almost fell down cos she was too light for the chair to go down! It was so funny!!

 Mummy had been doing yoga and this time we joined her as well, as usual, Mika was doing her own thing

 and this was fun!

There was a bird nest in the air conditioner generator and one two of them fell down and so we tried to look after them. After putting them back one dropped again and so we put it under a tree and let nature do its work, as suggested by the Google searches.  

Chinese New Year

We celebrated our first Chinese New Year here in KK and it was very very festive! 

Mika had a Chinese New Year celebration performance at school and there are 5 'God of Wealth' greeting us at the main entrance giving out mandarins! 

 Mika's class performance

 We helped decorating the plant to make it look more festive

 Our New Year Eve ritual

 Daddy and I were writing Fai Shuns and Mummy was making special New Year dumplings

These special dumplings has coins (for wealth) and red dates (for good luck) inside 

 Our Fai Shuns

 Gong Xi Gong Xi! Wishing you a wonderful and healthy year of the Horsie! 

 On the 15th day of Chinese New Year, the local Chinese here celebrates 'Chup Gor Mei', where lion dances and big fests are the way to celebrate! We were celebrating at our friend's home and we also brought along our very own lion- that's us in the front, with the real deal at the back!

 We helped to bring good luck to their house 

 No, that's not us...

 That's the way we 'eat' the lai see

 The surprise is the host even got fireworks! I was too scared to watch but apparently it was amazing having fireworks RIGHT ABOVE YOUR HEADS!

 Wising you a prosperous New Year!

New Zealand family cruise

We had our first family holiday with everyone in Mummy's family and it was soooooooooooo fabulous! We went on a 14 days cruise to New Zealand on Sun Princess. We loved every moment of it!There is a boy at the art gallery and I had a crush on him, I kept thinking he's called 'Gru' or "Gus' but only found out he is called Greg after the 14 days!

There are two bubble lifts in the main public area of the ship

 The first two days were just the nice calm sea

 And we decided to do some table tennis 

 Fine dining every night with our own waiters

 First stop- Bay of Islands

 We have bonded so well with Isaac

 There was a piano in the middle of the park! And so I performed a song.

 Second stop-Auckland

 The city

 The pier

 A bar/cafe at the pier

 Third stop-Tauranga

 We went to a kiwi farm and found out how kiwis were grown!

 The kiwi farm also served freshly made fruit and yogurt ice cream! 

 This is our waiter Poomi from Thailand. He's really nice and attentive and the best part is he is really good at twisting balloons! So almost every night we all had different balloons! 

 Since Christmas was near there were Ginger Bread house displays made by people in the ship 

 Forth stop-Napier

 Fifth stop-Wellington

 It was cold that day (in mid-summer) and we just walked around the city and stayed inside a huge book shop using their wifi and I also got my Frozen book!

 Choir was singing Christmas carols

 Sixth stop-Akaroa

 This beautiful town only has a few shops and is so peaceful here

 Library that is the size of a house

 There was a Christmas celebration on the ship

 We decorated gingerbread biscuits

 We did face painting

 Took photo and got a present from Santa!

 

 Seventh stop-Dunedin

 We stopped at this historical church built 100 years ago and listened to the organ playing. It was astonishing

 Then there was an art gallery/ exhibition centre with an area to do some arts and craft. We spent a long time making fun things there 

 They had a giant air bag mountain and it was so fun running and rolling in it

 They also had these really nice chickens by a Korean artist

 The last stop that we don't get to get off is Fiordland Natural Park. It was very scenic and there were two waterfalls

  

   

  

  

 Last night before we end our 14 days cruise. Thank you Poomi and Robert! 

 And we celebrated Kau Fu Glasses' birthday the day we landed and we left for Hong Kong the next day... we all miss every part of the cruise sooooooooooo much!
