To the Beach Again...

The last time we brought Ern to the beach was 1.5 years ago!! Yes, that's LOOoooong time ago..Daddy was "reluctant" since the incident from the last beach outing.

Now that Ern is big enough and she is able to chant, I took the risk. Instead of late evening, I took her to the Batu Feringgi beach in the morning.

I didn't tell her about the beach outing until we were about to go out. Weather was unpredictable lately, so I didn't want to disappoint her if we really can't make it. She was so happy and kept on asking if we have reached the beach. It took us 45min to reach because i made detour at Tanjung Bunga to buy my favourate 'cham peng' (kopi + teh).

When we reached Batu Feringgi, we went to a nearby shop to have a quick bite before I allowed this girl to play. Knowing she has to eat her breakfast before she gets to play, she finished her breaskfast in no time! Kids always kids.

When we first stepped on the sand, she didn't like the feeling of having sands in her shoes. So I have took off her shoes. Then, she was a happy bunny jumping around.

Too bad after letting her played under the nice weather for 10mins, it started to drizzle. So, I really have to call off the day before heavy downpour. Luckily Ern was ok because she can knew it was going to rain.

Well, we will come back soon because I know Ern is able to 'cope' with the beach!

Side note: I have taught Ern to chant whenever she sees 'monster'. The explanation I gave her was " When you chant, Buddha will know you need Him to rescue you!" !! She did that during the ghost month last night during our car ride at night. It wasn't for once but few time. I was freaked out on the first time when she chant in the car. After much thinking, I took it positively that my girl has 'overcome' it! She 'knows' how to handle the 'situation'.

Her First Movie

{ Back-dated post. Photo taken during the lunch session)

I brought Ern along to join my department's Christmas gift exchange cum lunch gathering. In order to make her 'feel' part of the team, I got her a present too! A big Hershey's candy cane that has different types of Kisses chocolate in there.

Ern is not a stranger to the team because I had brought her to join the department gathering since she was a baby. Naturally, she became the center of attention, being the youngest in the team. Well, I am glad she 'blend in' pretty well with my colleagues.

Right after lunch, we adjured to cinema to watch "The Princess and the Frog". It was also part of the reason that I brought her along, ie to introduce CINEMA to her! Yup, this is her first movie and I was prepared to walk away anytime if this little girl of mine can't cope with this.

On our way to the gathering, I had prep her like:

" We are going to see cartoon in BIG TV"
" The lights will be off"
" The BIG TV has loud sound!"

The moment we walked into the cinema, she was very excited. Before the show really started, I prep her again and assured her things would be just fine.

Lights off. She didn't turn back to look for me but glue to the screen, waiting for the movie to begin. At that moment, I knew things will be smooth sailing for her!

She enjoyed and stayed through the entire movie although she slept for 30mins (it was her nap time)!

More movies for her, that's for sure! :-)

Happy New Year

Wishing you and your family a Happy, Joyful and wonderful 2010!

Christmas Gift for Her School...

While shopping for Christmas gift, I saw this cute candy cane from Hershey's. I couldn't resist not to buy and ended up buying a box (with 12 candy) and six small packets of Ferroro Rocher.

The candy cane is for Ern's class mates and the chocolates for the teachers. Well, we don't celebrate Christmas but just a gift for everyone to lift up the Christmas mood.

I printed the Christmas tag from here as it's simple and nice. For the candy cane, I just tie the tag with a white rick racks. As for the chocolate, I just glue the tag on the plastic bag. Viola.

2009 Christmas Gift Exchange!

It's Christmas time...

To the kids, they love this season of unwrapping and receiving gift.

To the mothers, happy shopping for their kids' gift exchange and wrapping.

In 2008 Christmas, we got them stand behind a wall to take this picture.



In 2009, we get all of them to sit on the sofa. Ern fell in love with this Bar*bie camera that belong to Yee Jie (the girl sitting on her right) While I took their picture, she also busy took hers, which is on ME! hahaha...like mother like daughter!


Look how much the children had grown up!
