Outings

6 Sep 2008

Ning went overseas to JB, Malaysia, together with grandmummy, auntie Jody, daddy and mummy. It was easy to bring you cos you can eat solids and drink breastmilk. Though the customs was very crowded, we managed to go to the customs office which have express lane for travellers with elderly and young children.

We went to shop around and get clothes set for the massuer named Eva. She gave Ning 2 T-shirts for your 1-year old birthday. Mummy wanted to get something for her girl who would turn 1 in Oct/Nov.

We brought grandmummy and auntie Jody to eat seafood at the food centre. Daddy and mummy always loved to eat the butter fried crayfish.

It was a terrible long queue coming back as we did not know if there was any express lane. You were sleeping snuggly in the sarong but also perspiring alot just like each of us. The ventilation was poor in the customs office. However we felt a sense of achievement as you've been a good girl who took in everything you saw and was cooperative for the whole day.

We went swimming at the newly opened swimming complex in Sengkang.

It was a weekday so it was not crowded at all. Ning played in the baby pool. As the water was shallow, you had great fun crawling in the pool. However you did not enjoy the shower as there was only cold water. We had to make do and go back to give you a more thorough bath.

It was a joy to see Ning being curious and wanting to explore the new environment. She loves to play in the shallow water.


1 - 4 Oct 2008

Ning went to Bangkok with daddy and mummy! This was the 1st time that she travelled on planes.

Mummy missed Ning very much after a good 7-day trip to Tokyo, Japan. Mummy missed the first steps that Ning made during this period of time. Ning started walking and was a sight to watch with her exploring her surroundings with this newly-acquired motor skill. She would take quick steps though not in a straight line. What a relieve that she could still recognise mummy even though she had not seen mummy for that few days. My only fear was she would not recognise me like the time when I stayed away from her after contracting chicken pox.

She was manageable on the flight out of Singapore. She started sucking on mummy's breast when the plane set off and she sucked for the full length of flight. There was no discomfort that was experienced by her at all.

She had great fun in Bangkok. The Thais loved children very much, including the young men. They would touch her cheeks and smile at her. People were amazed that you were being carried around in a sarong. Mummy even managed to do shopping on this trip as daddy could take care of you when mummy was trying on clothes.

In the hotel room, you would carry shoes from one end of the room to the other end. You found everything to be new and fun now that you are more mobile.

Auntie Cass organised a picnic at the Botanic Gdns and we had a great picnic after attending Auntie Elaine's wedding.

She cooked fried rice and prepared fishballs to go along with the rice. You liked to eat the rice and fishballs. Auntie Cass even bought you blackcurrent juice for you.

Jayden and you had a fun time chasing after balls. You could run and kick the ball accurately. As the weather was very humid, you became sticky and tired.

When dusk fell, we packed up and left for home in cab. You were so knocked out that you slept all the way home.

We spent 2D1N in Malacca. Ning had a wonderful time with new sights and so many people taking care of you. Granduncle (Choon Beh) even bought you a helium balloon. Ning could say "no more". She also liked to bite and pinch and beat people. Mummy was the most vulnerable victim with many bruises on her upper arm. She loves to eat bananas and could eat a few at a time.


4 May 2009

Mummy brought you for a studio photo shoot at Studioloft, Pagoda Street. It was our own outing together as mother & daughter. The studio had a Mother's Day promotion and we only paid $50 for 30-min shoot.

Daddy could not join us as he had important meeting to attend. Mummy had wanted to do this for sometime and was looking around for packages. Mummy wanted to have photos of herself in pregnancy state which was not done for Ning's pregnancy and also to have fun with Ning in the studio. Mummy chanced upon this when she surfed the net and saw the promotion.

Ning was such a good girl in the journeys to and fro the MRT. You seemed to know that you must be a good girl and cooperated with mummy. You had always liked to have your own seat on MRT and was even willing to give up your seat to an old lady when mummy told you to do so. Mummy was very proud of our lil Ning Ning. You also knew that you had to stay still at the 2nd floor of the shophouse while mummy brought up the stroller up. Mummy was so afraid that you would run to look for mummy and fall down the stairs.

You were curious with the studio and wanted to ride the rocking horse but you never gotten to do so. It was a rush shoot as the studio had appointments fully-booked. Nevertheless mummy was happy to have proceeded with the shoot with you.
