13 June 2009 – (Saturday) Tumbletots and Penang Swimming Club

On this day, auntie Eileen called mummy saying that Chloe was sick and was unable to attend the Tumbletots class with us. Therefore, Chee Chee had to go to the Tumbletots class alone. Luckily, we had Zi Ning here in Penang and she can accompany us to the Tumbletots class. Both of the kids woke up at 9am. There were having their breakfast at Poh Poh’s house. Poh Poh had prepared some healthy and delicious breakfast for all of us.

After breakfast and bath, mummy droved Chee Chee and Zi Ning to the Tumbletots class. It was not Zi Ning first time to the Tumbletots class. The teacher knew her few months back when Zi Ning visited Penang. All of us had a great time and stretch out in the gym session. It was fun.

After the gym class, we went back for our lunch and get some rest. Chee Chee was woke up by mummy at 4:30pm as we planned to go to Penang Swimming Club for some swim. All of us had changed our swim suits and ready to go for swimming. We reached Penang Swimming Club at 5pm. As it was still hot, we decided to go to the library to read some story books. We spend only half an hour in the library as Chee Chee was not allowed to enter the library. Kids below 5 years old are not allowed to enter the library. What kind of rule is that??!!

At about 5:30pm, we decided to jump into the pool though it was still hot and sunny. We just cannot wait for any longer to swim inside the cool water. Chee Chee was so excited and happy. She is much much mature now and loves to swim now. Previously, we did came to Penang Swimming Club when Chee Chee was 1 year old. At that time, she still quite scare of water and refused to stay in the water. But now, it is totally different. She does not want me to hold her back and she just wanted to follow Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning for a swim.

After 45 minutes, we decided to come out from the pool as we were hungry. All of us went for a shower and planned to have our dinner in Penang Swimming Club Chinese Restaurant. We called Gong Gong, Yeh Yeh, Grandma, Suk Suk, Sen Sen and Grace to come and join us. We had booked 2 tables at the restaurant.

While waiting for everyone to reach the restaurant, we went to the playground for some fun. Chuan Zheng, Zi Ning and Chee Chee had a great exercise today. All of us also had a fun time playing together.

At around 7:30pm, everyone was very hungry after an exercise. We had ordered a lot of foods and we managed to finish all without having any left over. The food is nice and delicious and the newly renovated restaurant is looking grand and nice as well. It was a good place for family outing and dinner together. We may come here more often.

11 June 2009 – (Thursday) Toys Museum and pets shop

Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning were staying in Penang for more than 2 weeks. However, most of the time when everyone went to work, they had nothing to do but just stayed at home either watching TV or playing computer games. We only had activities/functions on weekend. So, mummy decided to on half day leave this Thursday and wanted to bring them to Toys Museum.
















Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning visited Toys Museum before, but Poh Poh and Chee Chee never. It was Poh Poh and Chee Chee’s first time to Toys Museum. When Chee Chee saw mummy came back from work during lunch time, she knows that she can go out for some fun with mummy on this day. She was very excited and happy to see mummy came back from work.





















We reached at Toys Museum at around 1pm. It was quite crowded on this day as this week was school holidays. There were many kids and tourists. Chee Chee was so happy to see so many people around. We entered the museum and saw some Halloween toys displayed on the front cupboard. Chee Chee was scared of all the scary toys. She kept holding my hands and refused to look at the toys. We knew that she does not like all those scary toys, so we just quickly passed through the place.
















She also scared of all the big toys like Spiderman, Batman and Hulk, until we reached the Mickey Mouse and Disney characters session, only she started to enjoy and dare to take photos with the toys. When she saw Barbie dolls and princesses, she was so excited and jumping up and down waiving to all the toys.
















After one and a half hour in Toy Museum, we decided to leave this place. On the way back home, we dropped by a pet shop near Tanjung Bungah as Poh Poh would like to buy some fish food. After buying some fish food, we went back to Poh Poh's house for our late lunch and afternoon nap. After 3 hours nap, we woke up freshly and had a bath. We did not go to anywhere in the evening, but we spend a great time together playing at Poh Poh's lovely little garden. It was an interesting day of us.

8 June 2009 – (Monday) Butterfly Farm & New World Park

This day was a replacement of public holiday in Penang. Mummy was off from work today. We planned to do something special on this day. Mummy decided to bring Poh Poh, Chee Chee, Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning to Butterfly Farm. Actually mummy also never been to Butterfly farm before, but she heard from friends that it is a nice place and worth to pay a visit.

Since we were having super VIP guests with us in Penang, let us show the Singaporeans some of our Penang tourist spots. Actually, Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning seldom visit any tourist spots in Penang, everytime they only went to market and shopping mall. So mummy decided to make their trip more interesting, so our first destination was Penang Butterfly Farm.

Penang Butterfly Farm is located at Batu Ferringi which near to Teluk Bahang. It took us about 45 minutes to reach that place. It was mummy, Poh Poh, Chee Chee, Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning first time to visit Butterfly Farm. Luckily, it is quite easy to find the place. We reached there around 10:30am. It was a sunny day which is just good for outdoor activity. After purchased the ticket, we entered the place and were welcomed by many many butterflies. All of us was very excited and surprised to see so many butterflies flying towards us. Some of the butterflies even stand on our body and hand. Chee Chee was very excited, but on the other hand, she was very scare of the butterflies that flying towards her. She kept screaming and laughing all the time. It was really a great experience and fun for all of us.

Besides butterflies, we also saw iguana, turtle, inserts and etc. We spend about 2 hours in the Butterfly Farms and we had taken a lot of photos together. It is really great place and worth to visit. Mummy is strongly recommended everyone in Penang should visit this lovely little place with some many beautiful creatures.

We left the Butterfly Farm at 1pm and we were very hungry. As Poh Poh did not have enough time to prepare our lunch, we decided to go to Old Town at New World Park for our lunch. Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning had ordered some local delights. They love the food very much.

After lunch, we had some short shopping at New World Park. Chee Chee was enjoying herself playing with Chuan Zheng and Zi Ning for the whole day. It was a tiring but interesting day for Chee Chee.
