19 July 2009 - Sunday

On this Sunday, we woke up early for our MusikGarten class. After the class, we went to Island Plaza Dim Sum restaurant with Suk Suk, Sen Sen and Grace. Grandpa and Grandma did not join us for breakfast as they were flying down to KL for a day trip with their friends.

We reached Island Plaza at around 11:00am for our dim sum brunch. It has been quite sometimes we did not come to this dim sum restaurant. Chee Chee loves to eat the siu mai. All of us had a great moment together. After dim sum, we had some shopping at Island Plaza.

In the afternoon, all of us had our afternoon nap at home. We woke up at 5pm and decided to go to Penang Swimming Club for a swim. Mummy had bought Chee Chee a new float life jacket which make her swim easier and safer. It was a healthy and joyful outting for all of us.

18 July 2009 – (Saturday) Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang’s Registration of Marriage Ceremony

This was a big big day for Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang. Their Registration of Marriage ceremony would be held at Penang Chinese Town Hall on 12 noon. All of us were very excited and looking forward to witness this special day for them both.

As the ceremony would be started at 12noon, Chee Chee still managed to join Chloe and Auntie Eileen to our Tumbletots class. As usual, we went to the class at around 10am and came back at 11am. Once we got back from class, we immediately got ourselves changed and dressed nicely. All of us, including Gong Gong, Poh Poh, San Yi Yi, San Yi Chang, Si Yi Yi, Siao Yi Yi, “Probation” Siao Yi Chang, Jiu Jiu and of course mummy and daddy, were heading to the Penang Chinese Town Hall.

We reached there about 11:45am and still need to wait for a few couples for their registration. While waiting, all of us took a lot of photos together. As Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang were the last pair of that morning session, we had plenty of time shooting nice photos at the common area.

We had bought a set of bed sheets and comforter for Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang as a gift for their ROM. It was shared among all the Yi Yis and Jiu Jiu. We hope Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang would like it.

At around 12:30noon, we entered the ceremony hall and started the ROM ceremony. Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang were started their swear in front of all the witnesses. Both fathers were witnessed the marriage certificate and Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang signed their marriage certificate. Both of them are declared as official husband and wife. Warmest wishes to Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang!!! Congratulations!!!

The whole ceremony took about half an hour. At around 1pm, we were heading to StarView Restaurant for lunch together. Si Yi Yi and Si Yi Chang also invited Grandpa and Grandma to join us for the lunch. All of us had a great moment together.

13 July 2009 - Monday (Public Holiday)

This day was a replacement public holiday for mummy's company. So mummy and daddy did not have to go to work. When Chee Chee saw mummy was leisurely playing with in this morning without carrying her working bag, Chee Chee awared that mummy was not going to work today. Chee Chee was very happy and excited to see mummy staying at home and playing with her.

As it was a public holiday and we do not want to waste our holiday staying at home doing nothing, mummy decided to bring Chee Chee to Taiping Zoo. Daddy did not rejected and agreed to bring Chee Chee to visit a better and bigger zoo.

All of us got ready quite early this morning and we were heading to Taiping at around 9am. It took us about one and a half hour to reach Taiping. With the clear sign board, we managed to find the Taiping Zoo easily. Chee Chee was very excited when she get down from the car.

As this day was a replacement public holiday for mummy's company only and it was not public holiday in Taiping, therefore, there was not much visitors to the zoo on this day. After daddy bought us the entrance ticket, we started our adventurous visit to the Taiping Zoo. The zoo is quite big and well organised. There were many animals inside the zoo compared to the mini zoo at Bukit Merah. We saw some Orang Utan, leopard, hippopotamus, tigers, lions, giraffe, zebra and etc. The place is quite interesting and perfect environment, but the only weakness is there is no crowd visited the zoo on this day.

3 of us had a great walking in the zoo as the zoo is quite big. After about 2 hours walking, Chee Chee started to get tired and lazy to walk further. Daddy had to carry her and sometime put her in the troller. We had insisted to complete the whole zoo within few hours. At around 12:30pm, we decided to heading home for our lunch. It was a great experience and fun to visit Taiping Zoo. We will plan for our next trip to here again soon. If we would to come again, we will stay a bit longer and visit the Taiping Lake as well. However, it is enough for this day and we will come here again.

Chee Chee went back to Poh Poh's house to have her lunch and afternoon nap. She slept until 6pm only woke up for bath. She enjoyed some bread after a good sleep and bath. It was a great day.

12 July 2009 - Sunday

Time flies so fast, it was Sunday again. As usual, we had to attend the music lesson on Sunday morning. Chee Chee woke up slightly later this weekend as we had to join the later music class at 10:30am as all our classmates at 9:30am cannot make it for the lesson. So, we had to join other kids for the lesson. All the kids in that class are more mature and active. We had a great time playing with so many kids together. It was a big class.

After the music lesson, it was a bit late. We decided to go to Gurney Plaza for our brunch. Suk Suk, Sen Sen and Grace were already at Gurney Plaza. They were having their brunch at Nandos Restaurant. We were heading there to meet up with them for our brunch as well.

When we got to Gurney, grandma and auntie Sujeni were shopping together. Chee Chee was joining grandma while mummy and daddy were having their brunch. After finished the meal, mummy, daddy and Chee Chee had some window shopping together. It was real fun. After the Gurney shopping, we went back home for Chee Chee's lunch and her afternoon nap.

At night, all of us decided to have some western food, therefore, we decided to go to Mizzi Restaurant at New World Park. It was quite happening and crowded in New World Park as there were celebration on the pre-Bon Odori Japanese festival. It was a great time together with grandpa, grandma, Suk Suk, Sen Sen and Grace.
