Ashley's latest drawing

Here is Ashley's intepretation of daddy! I then asked her to write down her name on it. Not bad I guess,.... The only thing I worry is that daddy's got a Big Head and Thin Legs....!?

Guess Who?

We came across this old pic in our photo album,.... Do you see the resemblance?

We also visited the Sea World in Shenzhen. Almost like Ancol, Jakarta (went there with Danica, Tabi, and Chloe during Harvest Festivals holidays). Here however, here we were allowed to pet the dolphins.






Posing with Dolphins. Colleen looking on with curiosity!

The highlight of Shenzhen is the Window Of The World Theme Park. Here, it displays all the miniature form of popular landmarks around the world like The Eiffel Tower, the Pyramids, Niagara Falls, Notre Dame,…. But somehow Petronas Twin Tower don’t have,…. Hehehehe! It also has a sky train going around the park so that you can have an arial view of he whole park.

Of course when its time for Justin and Sydney to go back, papi and mami was a bit sad. But its okay,… they still have these two to entertain them,…..!

Shenzhen Trip

Last Raya, we had a family reunion at Shenzhen. Dea, Qing, Justin, and Sydney flew in from Chicago to meet up with their Wai Kong and Wai Po! Qings parents lives in Shenzhen, so they were kind enough to take care of us while we are there,... you know lah, having a local is always helpful when you are in a foreign place.

(L) First meeting!


We stayed in Taizi Hotel, Shekou, west of Shenzhen. We can see Hong Kong from where we were, and it appears that we can take a car ride and drive to Hong Kong,... but unfrtunately,....not enough time. Papi & mami were content enough just to stay in Shenzhen and hang out with thier grandchildrens.

Among the interesting places we visited was the Zoo. Ashley enjoyed feeding with the animals, Colleen somehow enjoyed the safari ride better. I used some of the Madagascar characters so that Ashley could relate the cartoon to the actual animals.

(R) Horse feeding. We wanted Colleen to feed the horses too, but she ate the carrot instead... hahaha!


To be continued....

Missing my girls

For the past three weeks, I was in KK, and KL. I have to go out coz my tourist visa to Indonesia expired. So took the time to do some matters like passport and international drivers license etc.

At first, siok juga ada "Holiday", but all that time, i kept on thinking about Ashley and Colleen. Intan told me by phone that Ashley sometimes woke up and look for me,.... have to say that, all those time apart,... I miss my girls.



When I came,....I noticed Ashley kind of clingy towards me,... could be missing me, or just dont want to lose her daddy again.

The Flower Girl

Early this month, Ashley was asked to become a flower girl for our friend Mila. She enjoyed being one since she like playing princess. Her partner in crime is a 5 year old girl named Jane. (unfortunately, I was in KL, so I couldn’t see her in action….tsk tsk). Sometimes I found myself amazed by how fast she grows. Today flower girl, then bridesmaid,…. After that the Bride herself,……ahem!! According to Intan, they did a good job. But, behind the scene, both of them played outside the church macam monyet! Hahahahah…

Jakarta Trip

Okay,.. last month,...during Harvest Festival Holidays,... Tom & Didi decided to visit us in Jakarta for a week,... (Aawww,....how sweet!....actually they got free tickets from Air Asia bah!)

So being the kind host that Intan and I were,... we brought them jalan in Jakarta lah,... Places of interest that we went was Ancol,... (something like Sunway Theme Park).

In Ancol itself has a lot of diffrent places to go,... didnt get to go all of them,... but we did manage to go to the Aquarium (just like Aquaria KLCC), see the dolphins,... and also the 4D theater!



We also went to Bandung where we visited the famous "Factory Outlet". Here we let the kids play at the amusement park while the mommies and daddies go jalan-jalan,...hahahah! Ashley and her cousins Danica & Tabitha,... boleh tahan,... berani juga naik the Ferris Wheel!

And by the way,... Thanks Aunty Jenny for letting us stay at you place!

We took the train back to Jakarta by train,... Actually,... this was my first train ride too,... hahahaha. Well at least can get to experience it first hand with my family.



Its the girls who enjoyed the trip the most. Although its havoc having all five cousins together, but it was fun! They left a week later,... Ashley was sad at first,... but we managed to bribe her with some Barbie scoolbags,...hehehehe. Well,... cannot wait for the next holidays.

Colleen's 1 Year Old Celebration

Time flies so fast. One blink, and then the next thing I know,....Colleen is already one year old.

Actually we celebrated her birthday is on 21st May,... tapi lambat post bah.

Now, I cant wait to see her running around and playing with Ashley.

FINALLY,...AN UPDATE IN ALMOST A YEAR

I'm really sorry for not updating this blogs. I could give you a million reasons, but I wont......pls forgive me!

We are in Jakarta now. Our friend Vimi is here visiting us while she do some shopping.

In the mean time, here's the latest pics of Ashley and Colleen.
