Our Long Awaiting Lettuce....

From our last visit to Janda Baik organic farm in March 2011, mommy had bought some lettuce seeds to plant our own organic lettuce. This lettuce is without any fertilizer and mommy was so blur of not even put any organic nutrients, that is why it took 4 months to finally able to enjoy the harvest....

These are the little bundle of lettuce after 4 months...haha ...so pathetic...

Anyhow, there is a feel of satisfaction on having this own planted healthy vege....:-)

Due to too little, mommy just boiled it and add some fried prawn with sesame oil.....

Don't know why these lettuce tasted bitter than usual vege....:-/

After the lettuce, now mommy is into planting own vegetables, here are some seeds that mommy bought and hopefully this round we don't need to wait for another 4 months...Few friends have recommended mommy to put some "natural" fertilizer such as the waste water from the rice washing and the unfinished cooked vege (instead of throwing, now mommy can use it as natural organic fertilizer)..;-)

This round we planted these 3 vege, hopefully a few months later, we can harvest all and enjoy it...hehehe...

Eeanne is eager to help too, helping mommy to loosen the soil and water the seeds...my sweet little angel...:-)

Here are the new pots for chili, brinjal and okra.....

Mommy is so excited to wait for the next harvest......serving healthy home planted vege for Eeanne....

Story Behind the Drawing.....

Since mommy get Eeanne this whiteboard, on and off Eeanne will just spent her time doing her own scratching on the board, sometimes it can be alphabet writing, sometimes a drawing(most of the time) and sometimes just few numbers with addition and equation symbols.

Mommy likes to see Eeanne's drawing as it reflects her inner story. And mommy is particularly cautious on the pictures that Eeanne drew and also the colors that she used, luckily till now all her drawing and colors used didn't show any alarming message...:-D. The art of drawing is really a good way to understand our kids better.

This is one of the best drawings that mommy finds it is really meaningful and attractive. Mommy finds that this consists of many Eeanne's happy imagination and creativity. Here is what Eeanne told about her jumble up story details...

"It is a happy Christmas day.....

There is water flowing near the house.....

The house is a long long tower and the little girl is staying in the tower...

The witch is staying at a different tower...

So the lizard went to rescue the little girl....

And there is a rabbit hopping back to its burrow....."

mmm...actually mommy doesn't really catch the flow of the story, as a guess, it is a mixture of the story from The Rapunzel and Alice in the Wonderland...haha..

It is cute to look at this picture and hear Eeanne's story....

Mommy doubts on why lizard and not other animal that comes to rescue....haha...perhaps Eeanne's is good in drawing lizard at this stage of age.....

So sweet.....:))

Family Trip to Universal Studio Singapore! (Part III)

13th July 2011 - Last day in Singapore Sentosa Island.

Actually we spent the whole 3 days in the island except the night before went out to catch the night view of Marina Bay. Even though it is rather wasted but it was really a very relaxing free and easy trip.

On the 3rd day morning, we woke up early purposely just to let Eeanne to swim in the hotel swimming pool as promised. She already noticed the pool from our hotel room balcony on the 1st day arrival and kept asking for swimming.

View from the pool, our room is on the 4th floor to the right...

Eeanne and daddy were having a great time, mommy became the camera woman...

Daddy can become Eeanne swimming coach already...:-)

Time to check-out...

At Michael Hotel lobby, we missed to take these stadhuys on the arrival day.

The Gelato here is really nice...think we had the most ice cream and cold drinks in these 3 days.....

The candy shop....mommy is amazed by the colorful pellets, the bright colors can really make you feel good and happy...haha...

see the candy arranged like the cloth in bar selling at Kamdar...;-)

The lollipop behind looks tasty....

candy pellets like the color paint chart...

After a long walk we took a rest at the Hard Rock Hotel lobby....

We had our lunch at Vivocity again before heading to airport...This Sushi Ramen Restaurant food is highly recommended....yum yum.....

Waiting for on board.....it is so....good to have this leg massager in the Changi Airport, at least can have a good treat to mommy and daddy's legs.

Bye bye Singapore......exhausted look....

Now after back to KL about 3 weeks, Eeanne still keep mentioning about Universal Studio, she even shared her experience with the auntie at her kindy. Think Eeanne has get hooked on joy of travelling, once came back, she immediately mentioned about next trip to Taiwan!! Oh no......

Family Trip to Universal Studio Singapore! (Part II)

12th July - 2nd day in Singapore Universal Studio...

In fact daddy and mommy purposely planned the USS visit on Monday which we thought may not be so crowded, but...unexpectedly, the crowd is crazy and we even needed to wait for 30minutes for the Madagascar: A Crate Adventure - Boat Ride!!

We reached the USS entrance at 10.30am, but there were many else who are even earlier than us....my goodness!!

Our first stop at Madagascar A Crate Adventure, even that also needed to wait for 30 minutes. We were regretted that we should start from The Lost World which is rather reverse traffic..:-(

Alex was trapped in the tropical jungles....

Melman...one of Eeanne's favourite characters....

At the Far Far Away land- we liked this the most and here is the land that we finished all the attractions rides and shows.

The Shrek 4-D Adventure is really a good experience, with the Shrek, Donkey and Princess Fiona, not only we saw and heard the show but also felt the action from the moving seats:-). Out of so many attractions, think this is the most memorable one for Eeanne...

The Fairy Godmother's potion factory...."where is the happy ever after potion??"

Inside the Magic Potion Spin

In the Far Far Away land, Eeanne experienced her first roller coaster ride (Enchanted Airways). From the brochure guide, mommy was miss led by the description of "junior ride", it is not "junior" at all, in fact, all of us were shock when the coaster rode down with swift turn from the top. Daddy and Eeanne had one seat while mommy was seated alone, according to daddy, Eeanne's face turn pale with this unexpected ride, daddy and mommy were screaming out loud

from the bottom of our diaphgrams while Eeanne was merely called out a soft long 'Ah......."

Just came down from the roller coaster ride....

Donkey LIVE show....

Princess Fiona's castle....

At Mel;s Drive-In restaurant at the "Hollywood".

A picture taken by Eeanne.....

At "New York" street...

Light, Camera, Action hosted by Steven Spielberg...

At SCI-FI City

Here there are 2 giant roller coasters (Battlestar Galactica HUMAN and CYLON), both looked scary to both mommy and daddy..:=P

The Accelerator - the only ride we took in SCI-FI City...that also caused all of us giddiness...:-)

The Ancient Egypt

Here both daddy and mommy dare not try the "Revenge of The Mummy" and it was too hot and burning (around evening time) to explore the Treasure Hunter, thus we just took some pictures at the session.

The Lost World

The most popular attraction is the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure but we missed it again as Eeanne might not be qualified for the permitted height.

The weather was really killing, we stopped, rest and drink most of the time, think we had spent more time in those restaurants rather than playing outdoor...that is why we can't even finish wandering the whole park even at 6.30pm!!

Dino-Soarin ride....

Canopy Flyer - we missed it too....

Water World - missed it again....

That night, everyone was so exhausted, not from the play but from the weather....

We took a taxi to nearby Marina Square to have our dinner at this "No Signboard Seafood" Restaurant..(haha, what a creative name huh...).

We were too tired to enjoy this beautiful scenery of Marina Bay...;-(

Conclusion...we have missed a lot from this USS trip, and definitely need to go back again to accomplish the mission....

Overall, USS is with more fun activities compared to Hong Kong Disneyland (which is more suitable for younger kids), just the weather which is really intolerable for all of us.....
