Firefly tour!

Mummy has not been blogging for ages cos she's been busy with many things at work, and she has also not been well recently. Poor mummy.. luckily she has me to always sayang her tummy, and kiss her better heh :)

Today though, papa and mummy found energy to bring me for a 1D Firefly tour to nearby Malaysia! To make things more fun, mummy also chioed her forum mummies, Aunty Rina and her hb Uncle Deyan and Zevon didi, as well as Aunty Eileen and Roxanne meimei. We are all June/July babies, and the last time we played together was when we were abt 13 mths old! So our parents decided it would be fun for yet another get-together!

The day started at an ungodly hour of 645am. Mummy had to carry me up in my sleep but the moment I felt her lifting me, I woke up, sensing that the day was not gonna be just another boring saturday where mummy went to work! Luckily I was pretty well behaved for the day, and slept and ate when I should.

Zev didi with the most precious expression.. looks like 16 June babies are NOT early birds!
Sleeping in MIM sling shortly after we crossed the causeway

Rox meimei : Mummy mummy let me help you touch up your makeup ok?

Aunty Eileen : That's a pen, not an eye pencil darling!!

First stop : Chocolate factory - Me with mummy.. (btw, that's the face I produce when asked to SMILE! can tell I have a real constipation problem right...)
If I smile sweetly will you buy this box of chocs for me??

Holding hands with Zev didi - sweet eh?? mummy says I must stop kissing and hugging and holding hands with boys anyhow though..

Rox meimei decides she wants a piece of the action too!

Another hug yes??

Oops... caught in the act again!

Next stop was at some herb farm, which unfortunately none of us showed any interest in, including the mummies and papas! Instead, the 3 of us bubs were more than happy to just hang out at a shady porch, playing until it was time to reboard the bus!

Shrieking in joy... not sure at what though...

I learnt how to bai bai properly (including bowing and all) today. See how qian3 cheng2 I am!


One of mummy's fav pics... dont we look kinda alike??

Next stop, Desaru beach! I was sleeping on the bus, but papa bochup and just carried me down. Luckily I woke up really quickly, so didnt miss this picturesque and windy spot!




We then visited the Desaru Fruit Farm and petting zoo next. A pity Zevon didi and Roxanne meimei were KOed on the coach. At the fruit farm, we saw durian trees, dragon fruit plants, papaya trees and banana trees! But the place that excited me the most was the petting zoo..papa felt it was more fun than the zoo cos there were monkeys, snakes, ostriches, goats (lots of them, and greedy ones too!), rabbits, crocodiles, chickens, ducklings, turkeys and a lot more! I even got to pet a rabbit (to mummy's dismay.. she went at me with dettol antiseptic handrub the moment i was done).




Last stop was of cos the highlight of the day.. the firefly cruise! To mummy's dismay, the boat used was sampan like.. and to quote papa, it was like we were gonna tou1 du4 (= illegally enter another country). We were also given life jackets that of cos were spoilt. Not a very reassuring experience for mummy. But all in all, the experience was magical, and even the babes could see the dozens and hundreds of stars glittering in the sky above! Guess the fireflies were a bit harder for the little ones to appreciate cos it looked just like christmas lights. The mummies and papas seemed mystified enough tho, and at one point, I think I heard mummy commenting to papa - this would really be romantic, if not for her (gestured to me). HUMPH.

Here's one last family pic taken of us on the sampan...


The day ended at abt 1130pm, and I was fast asleep by the time we got home. Nevertheless, it was a really fun day, and papa is busily trying to think of where else we can go!
