Saying Hi to the animals!

The days have disappeared into nights in a orangey haze. We have been out and about and even said hi to the animals at the zoo.

We went to the zoo in the hottest of days but coolest of winds. Marshy had a silly smile on her face the whole day. The big broad beaming kind.

Because Daddy is bringing her to the Zoo.

This is Marshy's third visit to the zoo but this time as a little toddler who finds magic in every little thing. You are a cheery and chirpy one. You hardly nary a whine when you were melting like a butter under the hot sun.

You are a brave little one. You took the bananas and apples and fed them to the elephants without hesitation. But you didnt like the slimy feel when the elephant tried to lick you!

My adventurous and daring Marshy in action!

This is one of Marshy's favourite segment from the Animal Friends Show. Skipping with the dog. The next day, you took out a leash and wanted to skip with your toy puppy!

Besides the Animal Friend Show, we managed to catch 2 other shows out of the 4 shows that day.

Missing Daddy here

Just days before Daddy has to leave for his business trip in Germany, Marshy had a bug bite on her left eye lid. The eye was so swollen. Big and red and fiery.

but you amaze me with your tenacity You don't let the discomfort hobble you. not even the swell that affects your sight. You continued to sing and dance. Without a care in the world.


You squeezed your Bear bear and yourself into Daddy's luggage bag and sang: Row, row, row your boat. Gently down the stream..... Merrily, merrily...

Marshy announced to me: "Mama, baby and bear bear sit airplane with Daddy!" and tried to pack yourself and bear bear into the bag!

Daddy was away for 5 days and although you didn't tell me, I know you missed him and wondered where is he? . You are always very fond of daddy, not because he bought you all the fanciful clothes and shoes or the latest toys from Toyrus. You missed daddy because he makes you chuckle inside out.

Happy Faces!

And funny faces!

Overnight Celebration

To celebrate Daddy's birthday this year, we checked into the Swissotel Hotel over the weekend. We couldn't squeeze in a holiday as Daddy is always so busy. But... anyway.

After checking in at the lobby, we headed up to our room on the 37th floor. When I opened the door for you, you peeped in suspiciously before following Daddy into the room. After walking up and down surveying the bathroom and the magnificent view we had from our window, you made yourself very at home on the king sized bed.

After lazing in the room for some time, we went made it out of the door and wandered around. Shopping is a must and getting new toys for you (Again!) before heading to dinner. It felt good to be able to take our own sweet time and not worry about schedules.

We had dinner at Fruit Paradise Cafe because Daddy wants his favourite Fried Ebi curry rice and the tarts on display looked too good to give them a miss. So we had Japanese rice and Marshy had ramen and we shared a yummy chocolate banana tart for dessert.

Then we headed back to the hotel to laze. You were so mesmerised by the night view from our balcony that you just stood there and stare at all the cars, lights and the Ferry wheel. And the next morning, you insisted in having your breakfast next to the window.

Surprisingly, you went to bed earlier than I expected. I guess my darling Marshy wanted to give this exhausted mummy a break and some time to relax and enjoy myself too. Or perhaps you knew we were going swimming the next morning!

The two days passed quickly. We had fun. It was as awesome as holiday can get without leaving the country. It was really a welcome break. And I am actually looking forward to our upcoming real holiday.

Marshy was wondering when is this lift ride going to end.

Posing on the comfy big bed.

Ummm. Room service. What shall I order for brunch?

Marshy and her new Lego sets to keep herself entertained.

Marshy couldn't stop staring at the spectacular night view from our balcony.

Mummy, come check out the lights!

Splish.. Splash with Daddy!

You finally went swimming. With Daddy that is. In the winking waters. You squealed and you flapped. My little sunshine with the scarlet glow, showing off your juicy thighs in its chubby glory.

What is swimming without a taste of water? You had multiple gulps of mineral water and we laughed it off. Swimming is definately more fun with daddy. We must try to do it more often because Marshy loves it so. We must. We must. For Marshy.

Having serious fun with Daddy!

Daddy, where are my Oakly shades?

Hey mummy, come and join us!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

This is the second time you are celebrating Daddy's birthday. And it seems we are going to be stuck with Barney cake for some time. Everytime I ask you : What cake shall we get for, baby? The answer is always: Barney Cake! Barney Cake!


So we got a Barney cake for Daddy and Daddy's precious. You cant wait till I got the cake out for you to blow out the candles together with Daddy. You share a special bond with daddy. A really special one. You are really a daddy's girl, alright.

A New Kind Of Joy

It was a Sunday. A perfect day out. Daddy was determined to bring us to the Beach. Even the greyish sky didnt deter him. Nope. It's not going to rain. Daddy declared.

And he was right. It was a decoy. The sun resurfaced while we were heading to the beach. There were sand stains on our knees. And gorgeous glow on our cheeks.

We were baked in the sun and blessed by the breeze. Marshy was equally amazed by both the gigantic aeroplanes and the colourful kites which flew just above our heads.

We had a great time and came back with wonderful pictures and memories. You are besotted by the sandcastles, blue skies and waters. On the way home, you kept repeating in the car : Beach... More Beach.

I'm soaking in every minute with my little family.

We'd be back. For more. Marshy, pls remember the fun times we had. Won't you?

My daddy & my barney cake

The doting Daddy came home with a Barney cake one day. For No occasion. Just because his precious loves Barney so. And my Marshy had a big silly smile on her face the whole night. The big broad beaming kind. Almost as big as the moon. Cant stop Ogle ling at her cake.

So we had our own little Nobody's birthday celebration. With lited candle as well. Just for Marshy to blowout happily with the silly smile on her face. Daddy's girl, alright.

Such a happy happy evening.
