2 January 2010 - Saturday

Supposingly, mummy had made an appointment with Auntie Aileen for Chee Chee's outdoor photo shooting on this day. But, on this morning, Chee Chee was vomit and diahrea before we wanna go to Penang Swimming Club for photo shooting. So, mummy had to cancel the appointment with Aunti Aileen on very last minute as Chee Chee was not look well. Feel so sorry to cancel the appointment on last minute and hope Auntie Aileen does not mind.

At first, mummy wanted to bring Chee Chee to Doctor Jessica, but Chee Chee was crying madly and beg mummy for not bring her to hospital when she saw mummy carrying her health book. She knew that mummy and daddy wanted to bring her to hospital, she kept begging mummy not to do so. Mummy and daddy really feel pity and decided not to go to hospital yet. They will monitor and see how is the progress. So, mummy and daddy brought Chee Chee to Gurney Plaza for breakfast.

When Chee Chee reached Gurney Plaza, she was very happy and does not look sick at all. She was walking here and there, enjoying the lovely decoration in Gurney Plaza. She just looked very normal and healthy and there is no sign of sickness. So, daddy brought Chee Chee to the playground and we took some photos by using daddy's new camera.

After taking her breakfast and playing in the playground, Chee Chee did not look sick anymore, but she looked very active and energitic now. It was really weird and funny. May be next time when Chee Chee is sick, mummy no need to sent her to hospital but bring her to Gurney. It may cure her sickness and make her happier.

1 January 2010 - Happy New Year!!!

1 Jan 2010 - It was a brand new year. Happy New Year 2010 to everyone!!! On this day, mummy and daddy were on holiday. We woke up early as we needed to meet Granduncle Siwi and Granaunt Sujani from Medan. They came to Penang to attend a wedding dinner. On this day morning, we had our breakfast with them before sending them to the airport heading back to Medan.

We brought Granduncle Siwi and Granaunt Sujani to Queensbay Mall and we had our breakfast at Canton-I restaurant. It was really nice to meet Granduncle Siwi and Granaunt Sujani. We had great time together. After the breakfast, we had some window shopping as it was still early for them to go to the airport. Granduncle Siwi and Granaunt Sujani had bought Chee Chee and Grace a Christmas goodies bag from Japan as they just came back from their Japan holiday.

After sending Granduncle Siwi and Granaunt Sujani to the airport. Daddy, mummy and Chee Chee went back home for some rest. We woke up at 5pm and went to Youth Park for some cycling and exercise.

As there is a better space for cycling in Youth Park, mummy and daddy decided to carry the bicycle there and teach Chee Chee how to cycle. It was very crowded in Youth Park on this day as it was a public holiday. We had a fun ride in the park and Chee Chee was enjoying herself this evening. After spending few hours cycling in the park, Chee Chee still didn't know how to cycle, but we enjoyed the moment together. It takes time to learn cycling. Mummy believes that Chee Chee will do it soon.

The flight was slightly delayed, but it did not affected our happy mood. Chee Chee enjoyed every moment in the plane. As Chee Chee was already 2 years old, so she had to occupy a seat in the plane. She was really mature enough to sit by her own and fasten the seat belt. When the flight departed, she was able to remain seated and enjoying the flight. She is really a big and mature girl now. When the stewardess served her some snacks and drink, she was really enjoying the muffin. Mummy and daddy were really pleased to see her big girl growing up. It was about an hour flight.

21 December 2009 - Monday

It was a normal Monday night. After taking our dinner, usually we will stayed at home and watching movie. However, on this night, as daddy needed to get some thing from Uncle Hun Lin, so after our dinner at home, we followed daddy to uncle Hun Lin and auntie Mindy's house.

Uncle Hun Lin and auntie Mindy had decorated their house with lovely Christmas decoration. There was a very nice Christmas tree at the dining area. Chee Chee loves the Christmas tree very much. We took a few photos with the Christmas tree and deco. It was really nice visiting uncle Hun Lin and auntie Mindy. We hope to come here more often.

20 December 2009 - First time to cinema!!!

On this Sunday morning, as usual, we went to MusicGarten class. After the lesson, we headed to Gurney Plaza as mummy planned to bring Chee Chee to watch a movie in cinema for the very first time. We were to watch a Disney cartoon this day, it was called "The Princess and the Frog". We reached the cinema at around 11am and queue for the tickets at the counter. Chee Chee was very excited and happy, but mummy and daddy were more excited and nervous than Chee Chee. It was Chee Chee's first time watching a movie in cinema and mummy and daddy were confidence that Chee Chee can manage to finish and enjoy the movie.

When the show began, Chee Chee was very excited to see the big screen. She kept talking and laughing and telling mummy on the Walt Disney logo and advertisement. She was really enjoying the show and it was a great experience for all of us. We will come again for any other cartoon movies in future.

On this night, Grandpa and Grandma had invited an uncle and auntie to join us for dinner at a nyonya restaurant in New World Park. It was a great dinner with everyone. Chee Chee also had some walking at the New World Park. There was some performance on this night. Chee Chee enjoyed the night very much.

19 December 2009 - Saturday

On this Saturday morning, we had nothing much to do as Chee Chee had quit her tumbletots lesson. So there is nothing to do on Saturday. So Siao Yi Yi decided to bring Chee Chee to Mcdonalds for breakfast. Chee Chee is a big girl now. She is able to play alone and take care of herself while playing at the Mcdonalds playground. After playing for some time, she then sat down and enjoyed the Mcdonalds ice-cream and french fries. She loves Mcdonalds very much.

On this night, we had our dinner at Ryoma Japanese Restaurant. It has been quite a long time we did not come to here for dinner. As Suk Suk, Sen Sen and Grace were having other appointment, so they did not joined us for the dinner. It was a nice and relaxing dinner.

11 Dec 2009 – Friday

After more than a week at school, Chee Chee started to enjoy and love her school. Every morning, she is very happy and looking forward to go to school. On this day morning, mummy saw Chee Chee was so excited and keep chasing mummy and daddy to sent her to school earlier while we still trying to pack her bag. Mummy was curious to know what she is doing at school and what made her loves her school so much. Everytime when mummy asks Chee Chee, what you did at school today? She would answer that, “School mee hoon very nice”. So I think the most attractive thing for her in school is the meal. Oh ya, one more thing, as Chee Chee is enrolled for half day nursery, so lunch was not included, but everyday while waiting for daddy to pick her back from school, she will request teacher to give her some of the food they served for lunch to those kids that studying full day. As she was eating too much and keep requesting every lunch, the teacher had informed Grandpa that we needed to pay for the lunch meal as well. So compare to other half day kids, mummy needs to pay RM50 extra for the lunch meal. And the problem is, after taking the lunch at school, Chee Chee took her porridge some more at Poh Poh’s house, and she is able to finish everything. But luckily, Chee Chee now is still at normal weight and yet to over, so still fine to let her eat but mummy needs to monitor closely on her diet and weight.

9 December 2009 - Wednesday

After 4 days of school, Chee Chee started to love her school on the 5th day onwards. She cried to school for the first 4 days, but on the 5th day, she also cried but cried because doens't want to go home after school. Chee Chee really created a big headache for mummy. On 5th day morning, Chee Chee was very excited and looking forward to go to school, mummy thought that the problem is over. Unfortunately, the problem still exists but it turns to different time. When daddy and Grandpa wanted to pick her back from school, she refused to go home.

At least, now Chee Chee was enjoying her school time and having a great time playing with many friends and teachers. She started to adapt to the school life.

7 December 2009 - Monday

On this day, daddy just bought a new camera, so at night, he decided to bring mummy and Chee Chee to Mcdonalds for some nice photo shooting. While Chee Chee and mummy were enjoying our food, daddy was busy trying on his new camera. Here are some of the nice photos taken on this night. Chee Chee had a great time at Mcdonalds and she loves the ice cream the most.

5 & 6 Dec 2009 – Weekend Genting & KL trip

On this weekend, mummy and Chee Chee decided to follow Gong Gong, Poh Poh, Auntie Four, Siao Yi Yi, Uncle Chun Li and Jiu Jiu to Genting and KL. Daddy was not following us as he needed to attend a relative's wedding with Grandpa and Grandma.

Early on this Saturday morning, we all gathered at Poh Poh's house. Before heading to Genting, we had our breakfast at Pulau Tikus Bak Kut Teh. Gong Gong had ordered a lot of nice dishes for all of us. We had a heavy breakfast before departing.

We took about 4 hours drive to reach the bottom of Genting. As per our usual trend, we had our lunch at "Long Kei" Restaurant. It was a great and nice lunch at "Long Kei". After the lunch, we continued our journey to the top of Genting.

When we settled everything and checked in to the hotel, it was about 5pm. We did not have much time for a nap. So we just took a shower and went down to have some sight seeing. Chee Chee was very excited to see the crowd and felt the cold weather. It was really a nice place for all of us.

At around 7pm, we had our dinner at the Chinese restaurant at Highland Hotel. It was a free dinner treated by Genting to Gong Gong for his birthday. We ordered very very expensive and nice food on this night. All of us enjoyed the food and moment together.

After the dinner, Gong Gong had bought us the Magic Show tickets at 9pm. All of us were very excited and heading to the show theather for the great performance. At first, Chee Chee was shocked and scared by the performers, but after awhile, she started to enjoy the show. It was a great night.

On this Sunday morning, all of us woke up very early to have dim sum breakfast together. Again, it was a nice and delicious breakfast for all. After the breakfast, we had a short time walking around the themepark. We even bought an outdoor tram tickets for all to round the themepark for half an hour. Chee Chee had a great view on the whole Genting Themepark from the tram.

After a short sightseeing, we got ourselves ready and checked out. Our next destination was San Yi Chang and San Yi Yi's new house. Oh ya, our main purposely of this trip was to attend San Yi Chang and San Yi Yi's housewarming and not Genting trip.

Mummy and Uncle Chun Li drove all the way from Genting to KL to find San Yi Yi's house. Based on GPS and Gong Gong's guidance, we found San Yi Yi's house easily. It was a nice apartment bought by San Yi Chang and San Yi Yi at KL.

When we reached their house, all their relatives and parents were there. San Yi Chang's mother had cooked a lot of nice dishes on this day. All of us had a great lunch at San Yi Yi's house and we had an apartment tour around the common areas. It was lovely and nice to have a house with very comfortable decoration. The facilities provided also very complete and well maintained. It was really great. From now onwards, when we visit KL next time, we may stay at San Yi Yi's house already.

After spending time at the common area, we went back to San Yi Yi's house and took a lot of photos together. We had bought San Yi Yi a lot of gifts for her housewarming. Big congratulations to San Yi Chang and San Yi Yi.... We hope to come here again and more often....

3 Dec 2009 – Thursday (Chee Chee's 1st day of school)

3 Dec 2009 - It was a big move for Chee Chee on this day. This day was Chee Chee's 1st day of nursery. She had to be independent and attend the nursery herself without supervised. Mummy and daddy are not allowed to stay in school.

On this day, mummy, daddy and grandma were more nervous than Chee Chee. Early on this morning, Chee Chee still not aware that she will be attending nursery by herself. Mummy had explained to her, but i think Chee Chee doesn't really get the meaning.

There was not much photos of school on this day, as Chee Chee cried all the way. When mummy dropped Chee Chee at school and intended to leave, she started to cry. Mummy and teachers tried to calm her down, but it was unsuccessful. At the end, mummy needed to force herself stepped out from the school and left Chee Chee being handled by the teachers and assistants in school. It was really bad feeling for the first half of the day. Mummy was unable to concentrate at work and kept monitoring on her handphone. When it reached 12noon, daddy went to pick Chee Chee back from school.

Huh.. what a big day...

2 Dec 2009 - Wednesday

On this day, almost everything was resume back to normal. Mummy was back to work, Ta Yi Yi and family were also back to Singapore, San Yi Yi also back to KL.

Supposingly, mummy had enrolled the half day nursery school for Chee Chee started on 1 December, but due to too much activities and unable to settle down, we skipped the orientation and first 2 days of school. What a bad habit and wrong guidance from mummy.

On this day, mummy felt sorry and decided to sent Chee Chee to her nursery on 3 Dec 2009. So on this night, we went to Popular book store at Gurney to buy all those necessary stationery. We packed our school bag according to the list provided by teacher. Chee Chee is ready for her 1st day of school.....

1 Dec 2009 – Tuesday (Gong Gong’s birthday)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GONG GONG!!!!!!!!!!

This day was Gong Gong's birthday. That was the reason why Ta Yi Chang, Ta Yi Yi, Chuan Zheng, Zi Ning and San Yi Yi were not back to Singapore and KL respectively. All of them stayed back to celebrate Gong Gong's birthday together.

On this day morning, Gong Gong received a lot of warm wishes and kisses from all of us. He also received some flowers and cakes from his friends. Gong Gong is a great man for all. On this night, all Yi Yis shared to treat Gong Gong a great birthday dinner at CRC restaurant.

All of us reached the restaurant at around 7pm. We had booked a big room to cater so many of us. It was really a warm and happy celebration which all of us were looking forward. Full attendance of all the family members from Singapore and KL. We really had a memorable and joyful night.

After finished all the delicious dishes, it was the cake cutting session. It was Chee Chee's favourite moment. On behalf of all, Chee Chee and Zi Ning leaded all of us to sing "Happy Birthday" song for Gong Gong. Zi Ning and Chee Chee also hold Gong Gong's hand and cut the birthday cake together. It was really a great night for all.

Happy Birthday to Gong Gong and all of us love you very very much......

30 November 2009 - Monday (Rest Day)

Finally, the wedding ceremony for Auntie Four and Uncle Four was completely over. However, mummy still not yet back to work as everyone was very tired after few days celebration. This day was a rest day for everyone of us.

On this day morning, mummy and Chee Chee woke up early and we went to Poh Poh's house for breakfast. Zi Ning, Chuan Zheng, Ta Yi Chang and Ta Yi Yi also woke up very early. We had a great chatting on this morning and to recall all the funny and memorable things that happened during the wedding ceremony.

All of us spend our whole morning, lying on the floor and chit chatting and doing nothing... It was really great and relaxing for doing nothing the whole morning. However, everyone of us enjoyed the moment lying on the floor and without any objection. Unable to describe but the feeling was great....

After spending the whole morning doing nothing, in the afternoon, we decided to do something meaningful, which was to visit Auntie Merline. Oh ya, Auntie Merline had delivered her little prince before Auntie Four's wedding. But due to some chinese believes and "pantang larang", we were not allowed to visit her prior to Auntie Four's wedding. So on this day, since everyone still in Penang, it was the best day to pay Auntie Merline and little baby boy, Colin Tang a visit.

We reached Gu Kong, Kim Poh's house at around 3pm. Auntie Merline and Colin were resting at Kim Poh's house for the confinement period. It was our first time meeting Colin, our new family member. Colin, welcome to the world and family, you are adorable and look exactly like your daddy.... hahaha....

Everyone of us had a great time gathering at Kim Poh's house. Gu Kong even fried the best maggie noodles for all of us. It was mummy's favourite. The fried maggie was really the best and you can't find it anywhere except Gu Kong's house.

After a few hour chatting at Kim Poh's house. All of us left at around 5pm and went to market to buy some food to be cook on this night steamboat. Since most of us were at home, except Auntie Four, we decided to have a reunion steamboat dinner at Poh Poh's house.

All of us helped out in preparing the steamboat and food. We also invited Grandpa and grandma to Poh Poh's house for dinner. It was quite a long time we did not have such wonderful gathering at home already. All of us enjoyed the food and also the precious moment together. I believe, we may have such gathering again only during Chinese New Year.

This night was a great night together, the only missed out part was Auntie Four unable to join. However, at about 10pm, Auntie Four and Uncle Four gave us a surprise and they bought supper for Gong Gong on this night. All of us were so glad to see Auntie Four and Uncle Four back to meet us. Uncle Four's parents were coming together with them as well. It was a great night.

29 Nov 2009 – Sunday (Auntie Four’s wedding day and wedding dinner at Trader’s Hotel)

This day morning, everyone of us had to wake up very early for Auntie Four and Uncle Four’s big big day. The wedding ceremony would have to start very early as Uncle Four needed to travel all the way from Butterworth and back there. There was a specific time required to meet for the whole ceremony. So after the wedding dinner yesterday, we had reminded everyone to come to Poh Poh’s house earlier.

Early on this day morning, mummy went to buy some breakfast for everyone. Chee Chee and daddy had some more sleep before they went to Poh Poh’s house. Around 8:30am, many people already reached Poh Poh's house. Auntie Four's friends came earlier as they needed to prepare some games for groom and their friends to play before entering the bride's room. Everybody seems very excited and nervous, may be i should said, we were looking forward for the happy ceremony to begin.

By 9:30am, the bridegroom and their "heng tai" reached Poh Poh's house. The most excited moment and ceremony began. It was a traditional and typical wedding ceremony. It started with Jiu Jiu's part, Jiu Jiu had to open the wedding car door, then invited the bridegroom to enter our house. Then followed by serving egg tea and kuih. After that, the next part was the games session which arranged by Auntie Four's friends. After all, the most important session was the tea ceremony. It was a happy and excited morning for everyone, the whole ceremony was full of joys and laughters but it ended with tears and warm hugging with Auntie Four and Uncle Four.

At around 11:30am, we were heading to bridegroom's house. It was slightly late but we still managed to get there on time. The traffic was quite smooth on that day. When we reached Uncle Four's house, many relatives and friends were waiting patiently. They started their ceremony at around 12noon. After staying for awhile, mummy, daddy, San Yi Yi and Jiu Jiu decided to go back home. We said goodbye to Auntie Four and Uncle Four, and took ferry back to Penang Island.

The last part of the whole wedding was the wedding dinner for the bridegroom's side. However, we were quite relaxed after 2 days activities. This night, was only a normal wedding dinner for all of us as there were nothing much we needed to arrange. The wedding dinner on this night was held at Traders Hotel. We reached the hotel at around 7:30pm and the dinner started at 8:00pm sharp.

It was a great and wonderful wedding dinner on this night. Uncle Four had invited a few popular local singers to perform on this night. Grandpa, Grandma, Gong Gong and Poh Poh were enjoying themselves as one of the singer was some oldies champion for some Astro competition. The whole wedding ceremony for Uncle Four and Auntie Four ended on this night but their new marriage life started from now onwards and they live together happily ever after.......Cheers to Uncle Four and Auntie Four!!!

By 6:00pm, we reached the hotel and the party was going to start.

The crowd at the ballroom started to grow. More and more guests arrived and the atmosphere was really warm and great. Mummy was busy with all the flower girls and page boys. All kids were running around and the ballroom was full of laugthers and joys.....

After the wedding dinner, we had to rush back to change and proceed to Poh Poh's house because there was another praying ceremony at 12mid night on this day as well. All of us went back home to change and gathered at Poh Poh's house by 12 midnight. As Auntie Four was unable to hire a person who may teach us on how to perform the praying ceremony, most of us just based on our past experience to proceed with the praying ceremony. It was really funny and we had created lots of joke on this night.

After some chatting and eating, Chee Chee had her afternoon nap in Merline Yi Yi's room. She was sleeping tight and deep while mummy and everyone was chatting at the dining area. After few hours nap, Chee Chee woke up fresh. At that time, Alfred and Chun Beng Jiu Jiu were at Kim Poh's house already. It is nice to meet Alfred and we had a great time together. We should meet up more often, so that Chee Chee and Alfred will know each other better and closer.
