I love this picture alot! Mei is not afraid of all the mascots.. Such a brave girl.. The Minnie still wants to pose with her alone..




Goofy and Pluto!! I kept calling goofy "Pluto" until I realized I called wrongly.. Wahahaha.. Hope he was not offended :b








Remember taking this pose when Dax was around 16months when the 3 of us came alone. Mei was also about 16 months now! Haha




Taking fun photos with Disney members.. A dream come true for the kids??




The kids were so Happy to be in Disneyland.. Too bad we had not enough time to cover toy story world :(




So fun :)

Coming back to Singapore.
A fun and enjoyable trip with redmint family... Let's plan the next family trip soon :)

Maid-less days

Our ah Fa went back home fr 4th to 24th aug for her hari raya and her engagement..
Though it has been very challenging and tiring for both dear and myself, I should say that I'm so proud of both of us that we can indeed survive ourselves. We can handle both kids all by ourselves and do some housework at the same time! Well done! A pat on our backs!!




The 1st weekend is spent with family on a Genting trip together.. As it is a super long weekend with 2 public holidays, the jam to genting is super terrible!! We spent about near to 11 hours on the coach, leaving Singapore at 7am and reaching at 5 plus.
Luckily this little monster didnt fuss much on the coach..








That few days mei wants no one but only 爷爷.. She even slept on Yeye..








Waiting for check in




This brother is really v sweet








Our worldclub room...




After more than 20 years, I'm back at Genting with my 6th uncle and 6th aunt together with Yvonne, brendon and dexter.. Back then, it was 6th uncle and Aunty that treated me to the trip!!
Now it's my turn to treat them back :)








A nice catch up with My lovely cousins












All the adults walk around the arcade just to please this little girl..




She likes to sit at all these rides, just like me when I was young.. :)








She wants bear bear, all of us tried hard to win the bear bear for her... The games were so difficult to win!!!
In the end we spin and win this little elephant instead. All of us are so excited and cheer so loudly!! Think we created abit of commotion with our loud cheers.. Hahaha..
















Guess what.... In the end, 六姨丈公 went to buy this big and cute bear from the souvenir shop!! Haha!!




We went to this Italian restaurant for some drinks and chicken wings. They even gave us a brownie cake and all the staff sang happy birthday to father.. Haha so sweet!




We bowled together at the bowling alley.. Adults vs children... Haha.. The kids had so much fun bowling without worrying about 洗垄沟as the barricades were up to prevent the balls from rolling out of the lane..












Our 2nd night dinner is at ah yatt.. Before we got our tables, danelle kept pointing to the "car car" and wanted to take the ride.. In the end all 11 of us took the rides together!! Lol








Dad commented that he so old Liao also first time take this ride.. Haha..




The 1st dinner at ah yatt was almost fully paid by my winnings which was helped by my dad. He helped me win RM600 in half an hour.. Lol




Our 2nd night at ah yatt!! 6th uncle ordered the most ex set meal with shark fins, roasted pig, abalone etc etc.. So yummy delicacies!!!




The roasted pig!!




Dax slept with the avengers toys - his super heroes that mummy bought for him.. He still asked me" is today a special day?" Haha








Gals power! :)




This is also Dax and danelle first overseas trip with big jiejie, small jiejie and jiale!




Good bye Genting
The rest of the 2 weeks were entirely DIY.. Unable to engage part time maids as all I called are fully taken up!!!
A typical night will be I will take care and play with both kids while dear is busy washing, hanging, drying clothes and washing bottles etc...




This little rascal is really very very naughty!! Every night needs to fight with her to make her fall asleep! Whatever she wants, she really wants it.. Oh dear.. This little monster is indeed 两个钻!!




We still manage to resume our life as usual, better than I expected..




We even managed to attend 3 birthday parties during these weekends..




At Reagan's party








At Meagan's party




Though this little rascal is really much harder to manage, ( Yeye and nainai both say that among the 4 grand kids, Danelle is the naughtiest, most cheeky, most patterned and the hardest to handle) I felt that we have conquered the fear of taking care of them ourselves without helper..




Though she wrestled with me throughout the nights, I still missed her at my work place...
I feed her, change her diapers, bathe together with her, read story books with her, play with her... Even pee together with her!! Haha..




Thanks to these 3 weeks break that ah Fa took, I felt that we have advanced to another level whereby we r much more independent and in control now...
My dear says I'm "进得了厨房 ，出得了厅堂＂ @-@ :)
Congrats to ah Fa for her engagement!! :)
