Vivo Shopping with Bernice Jie-Jie

Mummy, me, Yee-Yee and Bernice jie-jie

We met up Ting Yee-Yee & Bernice Jie-Jie to shop at Vivocity.(Again?! - But again, this shopping mall is the biggest, nearest to our house, and we travel there by just a direct bus) Bernice Jie-Jie is around 8 mths older than me, and she has been a very friendly gal :)

Gai-gai at Vivo

Mummy brought me to Vivo today to gai-gai, and complimented me that I have been such a well-behaved gal, especially throughout the to-and-fro public bus journey. We went to White Dog Cafe for high-tea. Mummy got to savour her cup of coffee coupled with a tiramisu cake, as I am very busily entertained by wiping the feeding tray, playing peek-a-boo with the waiters and waitresses there, and eating my high-tea cinnamon biscuits.

Clothings from Taipei

Mummy & Daddy bought some clothings for me in their Taipei short getaway trip (even though I already have mountains of clothings!) from 30 Apr, Wed to 3 May, Sat. They got them from Wufenpu - a shopping district of wholesalers.

Mummy felt that the duration of this trip is perfect. If the trip is longer, Mummy will start to miss me a lot :)

CraZY Crazy FP Sale!

Mummy got to know about a crazy toy sale from the SMH forum. She "lugged" back 7 huge bags of toys for me! Mummy thinks that these are really great buys as all the toys on sale are Fisher Price (FP) or Mattel products, which are at least 50% off the normal selling price.

Items bought:-
1) FP Laugh & Learn "Song & Story" Learning Chair
2) FP Laughtop Laptop
3) FP Royal Potty
4) FP Doodle Pro
5) FP Little People Series - Dinosaurs
6) Dora the Explorer Talking Backpack
7) Geotrax Series - Train and Rail (to be opened only after Karis reaches 2 yrs + )

Total amount spent is around $200, which amounts much. But, it's worth it - as Mummy thinks that afterall, FP products are safer, more reliable, durable and educational.

Zoo Trip

Mummy brought me to the zoo together with Zoe jie-jie and Amy auntie today. Today, I enjoyed lookin at the lions from the glass panel. We went to the sealion performance as well. Seems that I am more interested in the people that are sitting around me, instead of the main cast of the performance - the sealion, though :) On the other hand, in my previous zoo trip, I enjoyed watching the elephants performance and imitated how the elephants moved their gigantic long noses :)

Swimming Again?! - After less than 24hrs

Sexy, happy Karis looking forward to a swim - again after less than 24 hrs!

Mummy, Daddy & I enjoyed our swim in Safra Club @ Mount Faber in the morning!

Swimming - After such a Looong Time!

This swimming outing is a very last minute arrangement for us. Amy called to ask whether we would like to join her and her gal Zoe. I thought that we might not want to go for the swim and see how it goes, since Karis has yet to take her usual late morning nap. An hour later, Amy called again and my thought was that we will just go ahead, since Karis just does not want to sleep! In no time at all, I immediately rushed to pack all the necessities for the swim at NTU Alumni Club.

It's been such a long time since Karis has gone swimming (think at least half a year ago?). I'm a bit apprehensive that Karis might fear water and find that the scene of water in a swimming pool is too overwhelming and frightening for her. However, she has proofed me totally wrong! Taking only few seconds of warm-up, she bent down and used her tiny hands to splash the water gently the first time, and after which you can imagine that I have to be at my highly-alert mode every second throughout the swim, as she is so excited playing with the water, wanting to climb up the water slide and slide down for one moment, and wanting to sit and rock enthusiastically on the water animal rides the other moment. The most enjoyable and fun moments came when we went to the jacuzzi pool (without having the bubbles jet). We laughed at Karis, seeing her so instinctively relax at one corner of the jacuzzi pool and smiled with satisfaction. After her relaxation, she became excited again and kicked her legs in the water vigorously :)

The swim at the jacuzzi pool must be so soothing for her! She slept while on our journey back home until 7pm! Seeing Karis being so happy throughout the swim has brought me the simple yet lasting and priceless happiness.

1st Trip to Bird Park

Above: Totally tired out after the bird park trip!

This is my first trip to the bird park. Daddy has free bird park pass from his company, so Mummy, Auntie Amy, Jie-Jie Zoe and I went to the bird park together on a weekday.

As I love to chase after the common small pigeons along the road, Mummy thought that I might appreciate the bird park trip. However, it seems that I enjoy zoo trips more, as the birds in the bird park are a bit too huge for me to chase after, and I am a bit fearful of the bigger birds. Well, Mummy has planned a zoo trip for me this coming Wed or Thurs again before she starts her new job in mid May :) She is very happy that she would be able to maximise her time with me during this one month. This would mean that I will have a lot more outings and gai-gais in these upcoming few weeks :)

Thoroughly Enjoyed Myself at the Zoo!

Today is such an eventful day for me! In the morning, we set off to the zoo together with Aunty Amy & Zoe jie-jie. This is my 2nd trip to the zoo since I was 4 mths old. While Aunty Amy & Zoe jie-jie departed earlier around noon, we continued our exploration in the zoo till almost 4pm. After which, Mummy and Daddy brought me to Anchorpoint shopping centre to catch up with Annie Yi-Yi and Uncle Keith for a dinner. I was quite hesitant to befriend them initially, but guess what? In order to break the ice with me, you've just got to give me something :) In no time at all, I was very friendly and spontaneous to both Annie Yi-yi and Uncle Keith.
