Hong Kong Trip (II)

2008-02-01T02:12:00.004+08:00

Just some highlights of Erin during the HK trip ....

1st Day

Erin & Caitlyn on board the SQ flight to HK. They were excited!! Erin kept herself occupied by the inflight entertainment system ... played some games, watched some videos (sadly, the return flight's system was the older version. Erin was so bored on the return leg). Caitlyn got bored after a while and created some problems for mommy.

Finally arrrived in HK. Onboard the Airport Express to the city. We had to transfer to a taxi to our hotel, Holiday Inn Express from the HK Station. Caitlyn cried all the way from the station to the hotel 'cos she refused to sit in her stroller while waiting for a cab. *sigh*

Our first night in HK... at TimeSquare which is just right in front of our hotel.
Erin was so so tired she fell sleep while waiting for dinner to be served. Oh but Krispy Kreme Donuts woke her up.

The room we had came with a sofa bed which rolled out to be a double bed. The 2 girls were glad to have their own bed. Oh yeah, the hotel provides free broadband in the room ...

Erin was tired ... zzZzz...

2nd Day - Ocean Park

Erin enjoyed herself tremendously at the Ocean Park. She especially love the Atoll Reef Aquarium and the cable car ride.

Onboard CityBus 629 to Ocean Park.

In the cable car. This was Erin & Caitlyn first ride in a cable car. We love the sight and the silent-ness around us. So peaceful.

We were so tired at the end of the day, we ended up at a Jap restaurent in Causeway Bay for Ramen, which was surprisingly good.

3rd Day - Snoppy World & The Peak

We went to Snoppy World in Shatin. It's just a big playground with Snoppy Theme in a shopping centre. Mommy was bored.. she couldn't wait to go shopping. But Erin & Caitlyn were enjoying themselves so much.

In the evening we took the peak tram up to The Peak where we visited Madame Tussauds. Erin insisted of taking a pic with Aaron Kwok.... dunno why. Mommy & Daddy thought she would be bored but no.... Erin wanted to take pics with everyone, even though she didn't know anybody.

Day 4 - Mommy's Shopping Day

We had breakfast at this place where they served nice wonton noodles. Daddy also enjoyed his pork bun.

Lunch was at the super expensive Yung Kee.

Next ...Disneyland.

Donuts!!

2007-08-01T22:56:00.000+08:00

Mommy is a bit crazy about donuts recently. So we tried to make our own.
This is what we came up with ... but hor, we still need to refine our recipe... to get that soft soft texture.

Erin gets her first Pedicure

2007-07-22T23:55:00.000+08:00

Erin went with mommy to Batam again yesterday and gets her first pedicure done. Erin was so elated. In her own words,"I want to go again and change the colour on my nails." Good thing it's quite cheap ... only $4. We will do it again, my dear. And also to buy JCO donuts...

SesameStreet Show

2007-07-03T02:07:00.000+08:00

It's the last day of the school holidays. Mommy brought Erin and Caitlyn to Downtown East for the SesameStreet show. The girls had fun seeing the life size characters. They got really excited when Elmo came out. But Erin said she still prefers Disney on Ice and Caitlyn got a bit restless towards the end. Nevertheless, it's still an enjoyable show with lots of songs and dancing.

Erin posing with Big Bird. Did you noticed Erin's new hairstyle?

Here comes Elmo and gang!

At Pasir Ris Park (again)

2007-06-01T01:29:00.001+08:00

Today's a PH. Erin woke up realising she's too late to join her Xiaoyi to lower peirce reservoir for a picnic. She's so disappointed. So we decided to pack them off to Pasir Ris Park to have a late (very late), simple outdoor breakfast.

Erin is not very good with her gross motor skills so it takes a lot for her to climb up the ropes. She has been very brave and willing to try.

The sisters enjoying themselves.

My Poor Baby

2005-10-20T01:08:00.000+08:00

My poor Erin Joy was stuck in the lift today.

We were going home in the evening and we took that 'ko-yat' lift up to the 11th floor. The door opened and I walked out with Erin following very closely behind me. But to my horror, the lift door just closed on her, leaving me outside and her inside!! I kept pressing the button but the door just refused to open. The lift was just stuck at the 11th floor, and my little girl was wailing inside asking mummy to open the door for her. I was so helpless! Looking at her crying and screaming and can't do anything.
My neighour went down to the 1st floor to try to get the lift down, but the lift just wouldn't go down. After about 3 mins, the lift suddenly decided to go down. Erin looked at me disappearing before her and wailed even louder. How my heart aches!
I went down in another lift but I missed her. The lift went up again with Erin inside. Throughout I could hear her screams. Finally I caught up with her on the floor again and that bloody lift door opened.
I gave her the biggest hug ever.
2 of us were so traumatised. She must be so scared when she went down in the lift all alone.

Baby, mummy didn't abandon you. Mummy is so sorry to put you through this.

Updates on Erin

2005-08-31T02:33:00.000+08:00

I'm the laziest mom on earth. I never did consistently note down Erin's growth development. Her photos are all on her online albums... birth till now. http://community.webshots.com/user/wespentagon

I think I should start somewhere.

At 2 1/2 years old, Erin is finally toilet-trained by day. Some may consider this slow but I think it's a great achievement for her. I'm so proud that my baby has grown to be a little girl who knows how to show concern for her daddy and mommy. The other day, I sneezed and she asked "mommy, are you ok?" :):)

She has also started her 'why' questions... her 'who','where','what' questions started some time back. Looks like we have a lot of answering to do. She's super kaypo...when I'm driving my dad's car, she will asked "mommy, why are you driving gong gong's car?", when someone says hi to us, she will asked us "who's that?". Quite irritating, but so cute.

She's also into sign language. She will sign to me when I don't understand what she was trying to tell me. Very funny.

She's a very stubborn girl... just like her mommy. So we fight everyday. But we really enjoy each other's company. I wonder if she will remember the lunches we have together at different cafes... eating ice-cream, the walks we have at East Coast Parkway, and the countless shopping trips, when she grows up.

I wish she will still hug me and say "I love you mommy" when she's 17.
