Kimi with the Disney Cartoon Characters

Kimi is the happiest boy on this night!

He was having so much fun with the Disney cartoon characters during the dinner especially with the Piglet. He even wanted to share his milk with the Piglet... Hehe, what a funny sight :) Although it was a short dinner, Kimi was sooOoo HAPPY the whole night ~~ Daddy and Mummy were so glad that he enjoyed himself !!

Kimi chase the Mickey and Minnie until the kitchen... He was so busy chatting with the Minnie. While Mickey and Minnie went back for a short rest, Kimi didn't want to let them go... He even cried when he sent them off to the kitchen. Ended up, the Mickey came out for a while more and gave Kimi another HUG ~

After the hug, Kimi feels better and gets back to play his balloon again. What a funny sight! Seeing this scene really makes Hubby and I can’t help to laugh at him.

Kimi Plays Along with his Favourite Barney Show

Kimi likes to watch Barney a lot... I think most toddlers like to watch it too :) But never did I expect that Kimi likes Barney so much until he knows how to call Barney with his self-created word ‘Ba – Ba ’ since a few months ago.

Whenever he wants to watch the DVD, he will show it to me and then keeps on repeating saying ‘Ba – Ba’. After that he will walk to the sofa and sit quietly on the sofa waiting for me to play it. And the show BEGINS!!

This is one of the DVDs which we bought for Kimi recently. After he watched once, he started to imitate what the show was showing. Very cute of him whenever he does this so I decided to take a short video clip and uploaded it in my blog.

Marching Into 19 Months soon

6th of April marks Kimi 19 months’ old… Supposed we are sending him to the Montessori starting this month, but due to some of our working arrangements, Hubby and I decided to continue putting Kimi in Taiping until end of June. We have postponed his Montessori's enrolment to the July intake. This means that for now, I am not able to see Kimi on everyday basis. Haih …. No choice, I might be a bit more tied up with some work and might not be able to send him in and out everyday to the Montessori on time.

At 18 months++ old …..
Kimi knows how to call me ‘Ma-mi’ clearly!! This is my happiest moment for now. Before this, he is either calling me ‘Mum-mum’ or ‘Maaa’ and not as clear as he calls his ‘Pa-pa’. But now he is able to call me correctly and very clearly. Haha, Kimi’s Daddy, now it is your turn to be jealous of ME!! Wuahahhaahaha

Kimi starts to brush his teeth. I teach him to stand in front of the basin, and then put the silicone toothbrush and slowly teach him how to brush his teeth. He still does not know how to do it correctly yet, but it is ok, at least he can slowly learn how to do it and get into the habit of brushing teeth ~

This is the toothbrush which I bought for him ~

It is very soft and the stopper to prevent toddler from hurting the throat while brushing the teeth. Moreover it can also prevent Kimi from putting the whole toothbrush into his mouth…

I started to stop giving Kimi his pacifier during his sleeping time. I started it officially yesterday and hope that it can last forever… My poor little boy kept on mumbled ‘Ma-Mi, neh-neh ~ Ma-Mi, neh-neh’ when he wants to sleep... But his cruel Mummy refused to give it to him for the whole day. Hopefully soon, he will totally forget about it and stop mumbling 'neh-neh'.... Haha, 'neh-neh' is Kimi's self-created name for his pacifier ^_ ^ What a cute name!!

Kimi knows how to pick up a little dust on the floor and then throw it into the dustbin by himself. After that, he will clap his hands by doing so… What a funny sight! He even picked up a tiny hair from the floor before and asked me to throw into the rubbish bin. Was it because he saw me did that before? Or he learns himself daily from what I have been teaching him? Anyway, it is glad to know that Kimi prefers a cleaner environment… He does not like dirty things I guess.

Kimi likes to play ball a lot!! Whenever he sees any balls, he will definitely shout out loud ‘Ball-Ball’… This was one of the earliest word which Kimi learnt in his vocabulary and until now is still his favourite word.

He likes to play with the hanger clips a lot!
This is what he does whenever he sees those clips…

As Hubby works on evening shift this week and I don’t have car to drive out, so we hardly bring Kimi goes out to play these few days. This morning, Hubby spent some time with both of us as Kimi needs to go back to Taiping tomorrow already. So he brought Kimi out for some car rides ~

So fast, my 2 weeks leaves are going to end soon and I need to go back to work already… Kimi, we shall see you soon ya!! We will definitely miss you a lot ~~

Hong Kong Family Trip: Day 3 to Shenzhen

Date: 24th March 2011

We are travelling to Shenzhen today to meet up Grandma’s nephews and nieces. They are travelling from different parts of China to meet Grandma at Shenzhen for dinner. So nice and friendly of them!

Kimi at the Hotel room and our Breakfast time ~

After breakfast, we still have a bit of time before checking-out from the Hotel. So we walked to Causeway Bay for some quick shopping. As time was very limited, I ended didn’t get to buy anything here. I actually got a bit disappointed over this. But no choice, need to rush to Shenzhen already… Hope next time I can have more time for shopping :)

We took a cab from the hotel to ‘Luohu Station’ <罗湖站>. From ‘Luohu’, we took the train to ‘Hung Hom Station’ to access to Shenzhen. Very convenient! Just that we we need to be extra careful when we are walking to the Custom as we have a toddler and Grandma with us. We need to keep them by our side all the time as the place is very crowded with people. The whole journey takes around 2 hours. Not very long and not difficult…. Just like from Pontian travels to Singapore like that ~

Finally, we reached Shenzhen. We took a van from the Custom to our Hotel. We checked into the ‘Vienna Hotel (Fu Hua)’. Address: No.73 Fuhua Road, Futian District, Shenzhen, China. The room is so much bigger than the room we had in Hong Kong and the price is much more cheaper as well. We paid RMB 198 per room per night only. Very good deal! The hotel is clean and comfy as well. Kimi has more space to run around too...

After we rest for a while, Grandma’s nieces and nephews arrived. Ah Ma has a great chat with them and did not want to join us for the afternoon tea. So Hubby, Uncle and I walked out from the Hotel to find some light snacks before the dinner. We had a quick bite before met them up at the hotel again.

As we still have a bit of time before the dinner, so one of the Aunt suggested to bring me to ‘Dong Men Shopping Street’  <东门老街> to do some shopping. This is a very big place with loads of things to see… Too bad, we only have around one hour to spend here, so I don’t have much time to grab things here. Another disappointment as I only managed to buy 2 shirts here. There are sooOoo many shops which I have yet to explore! Well, I tell myself again, next time then….

It is dinner time!! We met up Grandma and the rest at the restaurant. We really had a very sumptuous meal!! They ordered a lot of food and all also very delicious. We enjoyed the food a lot!

What a GREAT reunion for everyone!

Not to forget our Group Photo before we left the restaurant. Grandma had a good day today. She is very happy to see so many people came and met her up! Glad to see that ~

We walked back to our hotel. Kimi had a taste of riding on a bicycle on our way back to hotel. Haha, he didn’t even want to come down. When we carried him down from the bicycle, he was crying so pitifully…. But after a while, he was ok already and ran together with them.

Very fast, another day passed so quickly! After settling down Kimi at the hotel, Hubby slept with him, and I went out with one of the Aunts to the hair salon at around 10pm. To my surprise, the salons there mostly open for 24 hours! I had a relaxing shoulder massage after washing my hair at the salon. It only costs me RMB 20!! What a great deal! Haha… I enjoy it a lot ~ Shiok!

Hong Kong Family Trip: Day 2

Date: 23rd March 2011

Today our plans are to visit the Lantau Island and to take The Peak Tram. Frankly speaking, with a toddler and grandma with us, travelling time takes a bit longer. Grandma wakes up quite early but Kimi wakes up a bit late. So both of them need to accomodate with each other timing. We ended up chose to gather at 8.30am so that I had enough time to settle Kimi before leaving the hotel. We are not in a rush of time so anytime is ok for all of us. After our ‘Dim Sum’ breakfast,  we walked to ‘Tin Hau’ station to buy our Octopus Card with HKD 150.00 credit in it. Then our free and easy journey started!!

We took the train to ‘Tung Chung Station’ and then walked to the Ngong Ping 360 to buy the round trip Cable Car tickets. We chose to take the one way Standard Cabin and one way Crystal Cabin which cost HKD 153.00 per person for one adult ticket.

It was really a great experience to ride on the crystal cabin. We can even see the views everywhere from the cable car cabin. Very beautiful!

It was quite a long journey but Kimi enjoys himself a lot. He still does not know how to feel scare yet. So keep on ‘Wow-wow-wow’ throughout the whole journey. Seems to be enjoying himself.

Finally, we reached the destination!!

~ We at the Lantau Island ~

After walking around to admire the beautiful sceneries there, we went for a bowl of ‘Tau Fu Hua’ and then had our vegetarian lunch. The vegetarian lunch costs HKD 60.00 per person. Very big portion - 6 dishes + 1 Soup!

After our lunch and Kimi woke up from his afternoon nap, we walked back to the cable car and continued with our next destination to The Peak Tram. The Peak Tram ticket costs HKD 36.00 per person.

~ We at The Peak Tram~

This is the ONLY photo which Hubby and I took together (2 of us) throughout the whole trip… Luckily still have one photo as momento ~

As I been to the Madame Tussauds before, I chose not to go in again. Moreover Grandma and Uncle also did not want to visit it so we walked around the place and admire the beautiful Hong Kong night scenery. It was quite a windy night so we did not stay long at The Peak. Moreover, the weather was a bit too cold for Kimi and Grandma.

Our Day 2 ended with a local dinner nearby our Hotel. Fruitful Day!
