The Singapore Flyer Ride

hmm....it was a boring ride. Dinner at Popeye was bad. The chicken pieces have shrunk :(

Leia says "Bu Yao"

Ah Mah's Birthday

Hmm...realised that I forgot to take family picture on my birthday on 1 Oct. Nevermind, at least some photos taken on Ah Mah's birthday on 10 Oct. We had lunch buffet at Meridien Hotel, now known as Concorde Hotel. Variety of food is not bad, local cum japanese dishes at reasonable price. As usual, she's afraid of Uncle Matthew and kept frowning when he carried her for photoshoot.

The kiddyride expert can now insert coin for her rides!

Leia in Bangkok

Sleeping Babe on the way to airport. At Bangkok's Airport.


Fraser Langsuan Apartment was a good choice.

We went with Uncle Liong Hong and Admund.

Leia and Marisa at 4 Face Buddha and Suan Lam Night Bazaar.

Kiddyland at the new Centralworld Shopping Centre.

At toy department in Central Shopping Centre. In kid's room of the apartment.

It was a last minute decision to go to Bangkok at this time. There've been news that the place is chaotic now and we had been postponing our yearly trip. Eventually, I couldn't wait anymore as we need to return prayer within a year from last November when we last prayed to 4 face Buddha mainly for our business. This time we decided to bring Leia along since Marisa is in back in Bangkok and she can help me to handle Leia since daddy can't really help much. Packing was a little tougher than the past because I have to make sure that I didnt miss out bringing anything for Leia, even brought potatoes, carrots, mushroom over to cook soup in the apartment.

Flight to Bangkok was alright as Leia was rather well-behaved. She was very fascinated with the new place and kept looking around. She missed her nap time and slept very late at night. Instead of sleeping, she kept roaming around the apartment. One thing I couldn't stand her is that she kept demanding us to carry her. She refused to walk on her own in the shopping malls and refused to let Marisa carry her, so poor mummy had to carry her almost all the time!

Flight back to Singapore was a challenge as dear Leia chose to poo on flight. She didnt poo for 2 days in Bangkok and I was praying that she wouldn't poo on the flight but she did! She was having difficulty to poo, became cranky and cried. In order not to disturb other passengers, I had to distract her by bringing her to a spacious toilet where she can roam within and meddle with the things. Went to the toilet twice and finally I saw her pressing on to the wall, and exerting her strength! I asked daddy to pass me the wet tissue when trying to keep Leia stay put on the changing table. phew! I was so worried that the plane was going to land. Well, that was a good experience. At least I tried!

Mother and Daughter

I was secretly transferring pictures from Bryan's phone and I found this precious photo which I never knew it existed. Bryan refused to give me the pictures as he claimed they're taken by him, what a childish excuse. Anyway, I finally found this one and only picture of me holding and carrying Leia right after birth. I refused to take any closed up picture after delivery as I knew I look awful and I was dragging myself by tiny steps to toilet everyday. After that, my left pupil went motionless and that caused me not even want to take any photo. I'm so glad that I found this. There're tears on my face in the photo, reminding me of the fear and joy of delivering Leia :)

Mother & Daughter (Then) Vs Mother & Daughter (Now)
wow. How time flies. It's just so incredible looking at how much Leia has grown.

Horse Riding on Daddy's back

One of her favourite activities.

Making Baby Laugh

Leia was having a good time pulling the accessories and making the baby laugh. We had a hard time persuading her to leave the shop. I knew that the salesgirl was staring at her, afraid that she may damage the necklaces. Sometimes, she also refuses to go home. If we walk away from her, she will cry and fuss and pull us back. sigh, I'm totally lost, have no idea how to handle this stubborn girl.
