3rd Anniversary

We celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary on 24.09.2008. And it was a coincidence that I was on leave as I was due for my check-up. So kinda kill two birds with one stone :)

So in the morning we went to SJMC for my check-up. I was 28 weeks and our baby's doing very well. He weighed about 1.27kg and according to my gynae, at 28 weeks the baby should weighs at least 1.2kg. So, he is doing perfectly fine.

Then we went to Sunway Pyramid for our 'anniversary' lunch. It's much easier going for lunch when you have a child with you. So we settled for Sushi Zanmai for some Japanese feast. Norelle had the whole cup of chawan mushi and some rice too. And I, had too much of everything. HY still amaze how I can actually eat that much. Hahhahaa... well, I'm eating for '2' right? Thank goodness for this pregnancy I didnt gain as much weight as the previous time :)

Genting Trip

On 20 September 08, Saturday, we decided to go for a short trip to Genting Highlands. We took this opportunity as it did not coincide with any school / public holidays. It's been ages since HY and I went to Genting and it would be Norelle's 1st time there.

We took off at about 10.30am in the morning and went for tim sum breakfast at our usual place in Damansara Uptown. Then the journey up to Genting only took 45 mins and we reached the 'peak' at 12pm.

The weather was colder than we thought - about 19 deg. It's Norelle first time being in a natural 'cold' environment (apart from air-conditioned places). We headed straight to the ticketing counter and purchased tickets for both indoor and outdoor theme parks for HY and myself as Norelle is (still) young enough to enter FREE. And the best part was for my ticket, I only paid half (kiddie price) as I'm pregnant and a lot (mostly all) of the rides are deemed not suitable / not permitable for pregnant woman. Better still, save more $$$...

We started taking Norelle on a slow cable ride (indoor) and after that we took the journey to outdoor since the weather was still good and sunny. HY accompanied Norelle on most of the rides and she was having fun. She doesnt portrayed a slight fear towards all those rides - be it bumpy rides, escalating high up and plunging down or being few hundreds (I think) meters high up in a ferris wheel.

She even went on a few rides on her own and she totally loved it. And there I was holding my breath fearing that she would cry her lungs out without either one of us accompanying her. Nope. I was totally wrong. Those fears that I had were not neccessary. What I saw was my girl was all grown up being able to 'handle' the situation by herself. And she did great!

We had our lunch there and it was our lucky day as there was a 'Thai fair' at the outdoor theme park and some stalls selling thai food. Well, at least better than those food inside. But I have to admit that there are lots of new (maybe not anymore) shops / eateries like Old Town Kopitiam, Hainan Kopitiam, etc..so I guess food wise would be much better now.

Finally we conquered most of the rides and it was time to go home. We never have the intention to spend a night there as nothing much left for us to do. So at about 4+pm, we bid farewell to Genting. Within 5 minutes in the car, Norelle fell asleep all the way back home and continued sleeping until about 8pm.

There....a day well spent. Just the 3 (or 4) of us.....

Mid Autumn Festival 08

We celebrated the mid autumn festival a.k.a. lantern festival last Saturday (13 September). We went to Norelle's poh-poh & kung kung's house to have a small gathering. We bought a fish-shape lantern for Norelle and she loved it.

There were lots of food to go around and everyone had a great time including Norelle. She finished her dinner and the ebst of all, we got ourselves a 'baby sitter' (my cousin's girl - 9 YO) to accompany her. The weather was fantastic that day but it rained the next day (the actual day of the festival). All in all, it was a great night.

'Can I set the lantern alight?'
Spotted with a new haircut - NOT mummy's idea!

My 'Kay-poh' girl

See what she did when she spotted a 'displayed' vacuum at a shopping mall??? She was 'showing off' her domesticated skills. Mummy was proud of her 'skills' but would be good if she shows it off at home instead.
