Aussie Land Day 1

Uncle Alvin came to pick us up in his new swanky Lexus!

Mommy also arranged for a airport transfer from our apartment service to pick the 8.5 of us in total.

0.5 = ME.

We dropped off our stuff and we made our way to St kilda's! My parents favourite little restaurant that faces the lovely beach.

BEACH COMBER!

We basically visited the same places that my Dad and Mom had their wedding shoot in 2007.




We had a al fresco seat but i was freezing cold even with the fleece blanket that Auntie Alfi bought for me.

I was so cold that i didnt move or cry. Mommy was worried and shifted me inside.





Mommy love this photo of Papa and me!




Gwen! Look here!
Someone should really invent this thing that catches the attention of babies which can be attached to the camera. Like a flickering light bulb or something...

If u know of one, please buy it for my Mommy as a Mother's day present.



To some extend, i think my head was forced to look front.



Mommy fed me fish minus the fried skin and cream and any part that has come in contact with the raw salad.
Yes, you were right.
I didnt have any of the french fries too.


Chewing "doctor's" head off



Still holding on to my favourite "doctor"



Sunny but freezing cold.






They sell the worst things at the weekend stalls.






Ma and Pa taking photos too.


and finally, im back in a cozy apartment! as you can see, i even have my own pillow in my pink Hello kitty pillow case.
*Excuse me, its the same pillow case that my Mom used when she was a toddler. It was made by Por Por and was hand down to many of Mommy's younger cousin and somehow Mommy found it in Great grandpa's house in Malaysia and brought it back for me. Mommy gets real excited about me using things they she once used when she was small. Mommy, i would be really really very happy too if you can keep your Chanel, Louboutin and Herve Leger for me too! You can dump your pillow case. Plus you pillow too.

SEE! I told you i will get excited over such things too!



Mommy even brought along my fish net. its very important to me. Mommy didnt bring a bath tub though. she brought along my blue non-slip mat and let me sit naked on the mat in the shower cubicle and bathe me with a shower hose.
and we did fine!


Smelly nice and happy climbing on our bed with a city view. It was really cold and snuggling up on the cooling soft sheet is heavenly!



Spot my smelly?
Mommy will never forget about it. Just for this trip, Mommy deliberately went to buy a new and longer beanie from kiddy palace and hand stitched a new beanie case for me in my favourite jersey material. (feels like your old PE t-shirt sort of material.) She alternate me between my old and new beanie so that the new will be "coated" with my signature smell. In any unfortunate case that i lose my beanie in australia, i have another one as back up! so i had 2 beanies with me in australia. You lucky smelly!





Playing with Mommy. We snuggled up together to catch up with sleep while the rest hit Crown for texas holdem .
As usual, Daddy came back richer!



















Pat pat pat... Rave it up!!!... and....BLAST OFF!!!

"We're going on a trip,in our favourite rocket ship.
zooming thru the sky...Lil' Einstein.
Climb aboard, get ready to explore,
there's so much to find... Lil' Einstein.

We're going on a mission, start the count down!
5! 4! 3! 2! 1!
Everyone to rocket, rave it up now....
Brrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!

We're going on a trip, in our favourite rocket ship,
zooming thru the sky, Lil' Einstein.
Come on!
Let's go!
Lil' Einstein...
WE NEED YOU!
Lil' Einstein...
YEAH!!!"

This is one of my Favourite song and Mommy always sings this to me at playtime!



All ready to go!!

Boarding the plane to Aussie Land!

Mommy booked a very late flight so that my sleeping pattern would not be disrupted for my very virgin flight experience.

we would reach melbourne at 10 in the morning.



Mommy checking in for some La mer shopping!


Por Por gives me an ang pow for 平安.
Mommy and Daddy tried to keep me awake by distracting and playing with me. Its one of their big plans to keep me tired so that i would knock out on the flight .
When they were all making their way to the boarding gate, Daddy was carrying me upright and I couldnt fight to keep my eyelids open, which weigh about 2 watermelons on each side. Mommy caught my expression when i rolled my eyes upwards and went totally unconcious. I swear that i wouldnt wake up even if u dab the juice of a drumstick on my lips. (thats a very big bait for me.) Mommy said it was really funny.



and then...one the plane....


Happy like a spider again.





Mommy : "Fine. We take photos!!!"




Gwen : " Ma... i think im sleepy again...lets stop..."







Gwen : ".... I owe her this life.... its just the beginning..."






Bassinet got fixed up after plane took off and i get my toys! My brought octupus, my squashy bathing entertainment.





Hello other babies! Meet my purple octopus! Rental at $3 for 15mins




Ehhhh....heehee...kidding, i can lend it to you for free...




and an empty cup too!
i like to play with plastic cups and containers :)





play


and play...





MOmmy felt that i should get some decent sleep. Otherwise, i would get cranky the whole day when we land in australia and my whole routine would get upset. Mommy is also worried that if i do not have sufficient rest, i will fall sick in the eccentric weather. Mommy fed me with half the recommended dosage of the medication given by Dr William Yip of abt 1.5 tsp and Mommy hugged me like a baby...
In 15 mins, i was off to dreamland.



ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz....
Mommy happily watch SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE and absolutely loved it.She couldnt really sleep though, she jerked up at my every movement as she doubted every bit of the bassinet. She was also worried if i would get shocked or frightened by unexpected turbulence.



At the noise of cluttering cockeries, i knew breakfast is here!!! I woke up and mommy feed me bread.
and we landed safety!
Bringing me on a plane is not so scary afterall! I did it Mommy and Daddy! Daddy said that he is proud of me and will bring me for many more holidays because im a well behaved kid!





see! my purple stroller! all wrapped up to keep it clean and dry!
TIP: do request for stroller bags from the airline.






BIG PLANS for the exciting trip ahead!

10 months old

Im 10 months old already! I dont have to see Dr Yip this month right up to 1 years old :)

im done with my many many injections!

But Mommy is curious and would love to journal my height and weight. She will do height measurement at home and bring me to the supermarket and put me on the digital weighing machine and churn out a bar code sticker.

Hrmm...im NOT kidding.

If u know my Mum, she might just do that!

i would get distracted easily. At the turn of the door knob, i would arch my back backwards to see if Daddy is back. Very often, i wouldnt finish my milk unless fed in a very very quiet place.



i like to throw things or toys about 1 feet away and crawl quickly to pick it up and yet throw it another feet away, repeatedly til i find something else more interesting.



i can crawl very fast and pull myself up to stand, hanging on to the tv console. I dont cruise along the furniture very often though, but i can climb up the flight of stairs all the way to Mommy's room all on my own with Daddy watching right behind me.

I love to play hide and seek with Mommy when she gives clues to where she was hiding and i chuckle happily as i crawl quickly to find her in the room!

im getting too tall for my walker and is at level 3 of my jumperoo! i still love my jumperoo very very very much! Mommy cant wait to get rid of it soon as its taking up too much space in the toys r us living room.



i no longer get to sleep in the cot because im just too good with climbing. If im sleeping with my parents on their bed, Mommy can only ebay on her laptop or watch "soundless" TV in her room the whole night and my bedtime starts between 8.30pm to 9.30pm.

i would raise my arm and wave with a rotating wrist at the command of "bye bye!"

I love to reach high objects like the lights or the ceiling fan. I squeak in delight when Mommy raise me up to touch the chandeliers.

"Touch the lights!"

Daddy taught me how to place the phone against my ears when the adults go "Hello?"

I would also melt Daddy's heart when i lean against his chest and pretend that im a little princess with the bambi eyes.

I would also mimic Mommy kissing Daddy on the cheeks and gives her kisses too!

Daddy always emphasise that i must learn to share and i offer my "Gerber graduate puffs" to them :)

With all the new things i could do in my little life, ive lost one thing special too. My toes no longer has the little stinko smell that Mommy loves and she is very very sad about it.

But she says she will remember it always...

Eeeeks.

Changi Airport

Daddy and Mommy were lazing on bed while discussing where to bring me to on my 10th month birthday.


Mommy had to think of a place that would be fun and yet not places like a playground where HFMD would be rampant.


Mommy suggested either to East Coast park for a walk in the evening and wathc other children play, or to the airport where i can view aeroplanes take off on the runway.



"AIRPORT."


Daddy responded almost immediately.


He only heard "air con" vs "no air con".


While Mommy was fixing up my dinner of lean pork porridge to be packed into my foogo flask, Daddy took me to the pool to watch other children play.






Daddy also allowedme to drive his car! it was really moving!!!


"PoooooR!!! PooooR!!!"


Mama was from Lexus, Im from Beemer!!!


My stroller could well be from Ferrari.




My convertible purple Ferrari with a soft canopy.




Going for dinner!







MY pre packed porridge while daddy and mommy dig into "dian xiao er". They always thought that there was only Burger King at T3!



















Biscuit to distract me while everyone esle was raving about the delicious duck.









the very moment after this picture was taken, Tigger was off to the floor!










BYE!












"Dad... this toy is awesome!!.. Look... i can open this up.. and spin it... and then close it back.. press it.. and it will pop up ...."












Oops Mom. I was busy looking at live lobsters swimming in the tank.










We were super disappointed with T3's viewing gallery. Cannot see any plane! What viewing gallery was that??!!









So whats next Dad?








We are off to T1.









By skytrain! Yay!!!









Making our way to the skytrain, we came across some children playing remote controlled cars. They were small and move really fast!










Gwenneth was soooo excited, she went bonkers.










Daddy and Mommy took me off the stroller and gave me the freedom to crawl all around and polish floor, chasing after the little cars. It made me really happy! but everytime im near, the car would turn and run away!


"I promise i wouldnt eat it up!"










Mommy asked the girl where she bought her toy car from so that Mommy and Daddy could buy me one too.










But the little girl's Mommy said that she bought the toy cars from Beijing.










"Its alright Gwenneth, Daddy and Mommy will buy you a similar one."










(keeping our fingers crossed that is not $100!!!)









nice family photo huh!








Happy 10mths Sweetheart!










*ps: Mommy looked like she was 8 months pregnant.


















waiting for the skytrain ride...










I looked all grown up! im turning one very soon!










Here it is!!!








"Hold on tight everybody! Im captain Gwen Gwen Tan!"










Finally, i see something decent at the airport.










A plane.









But ironically, after all the commotion of finding a plane in the airport (!!!) i was sleepy already.










Daddy buckled me up and i was given my tu tu and smelly beanie.








Alright everyone! Gwenneth is going to sleep.










Good night!





Within 30 seconds...















ZZZzzzz...



















love,





the 10th month old Gwenneth.
