Kota Bahru & Perhentian Island - Raya 2009*

*another very backdated post!

Remember this post where mummy missed me when I went for a holiday with papa last September during Raya time? You see, papa had a wedding to attend at Kota Bahru and since there were some friends of his that came from overseas, he thought of extending that trip as well into a holiday at Perhentian island. So he brought me along while mummy and my mei-mei stayed back in KL.

We left very early that morning while it was like very dark outside. I was well prepared ahead about my holidays that I had no problems waking up and also for the very long journey ahead. We were not alone, we had Uncle Tony from China and Kasmin cher-cher to accompany us in the car ride. I slept again in the car ride till we stopped for our breakfast.

very excited about my holidays!

had first class seat, next to papa!

also had first class treatment, got to be entertained throughout the car ride to Kota Bahru

When we reached Kota Bahru, we had some time to chill out at the apartment before the wedding dinner. We spent only a night there.

since mummy's not with us, papa is tasked to tie my hair, something he hardly does as this is mummy's job.


At the wedding dinner, as you can tell, i was very clingy to papa. I wasn't feeling too well halfway and we left early while the rest stayed behind. Papa thought I was sick since I complaint of a tummy ache, but when we got back to the apartment, I was my usual self and didn't even want to sleep.

The next morning, we left Kota Bahru to Kuala Besut for the speedboat ride to Perhentian island at our regular spot, Bubbles resort.

a picture with uncle tony, still getting warm up to him. he tries to take pics with me or of me throughout the trip.

on the speedboat, clinging on to papa

We spent 3 nights at the island and those 3 days were really a chilling out session for me as I was at the beach the whole day, I got to eat my junkfood and ice cream! The following are pictures of me that were mostly taken my uncle Tony's camera. Papa was busy relaxing to take pictures of me.

this little boy, who was also a guest at the resort, was my playmate most of the time



Was being looked after by the bride (yes, the bride and groom came along with us right after their wedding dinner, how cool is that!) when the rest went for diving.

My holidays went by so fast that I was sad to see it end so soon. We were accompanied in the car ride back to Ipoh and then we went our separate ways as the rest went to Gentings after that while papa and I went back home. I was really well behaved this trip and papa was very proud of me and told me that he doesn't mind taking me alone on trips now. When we got back, mummy was very happy to see me but disappointed that I lost some weight - must be all that play and junkfood which I like!!!

Camerons - November 2009*

*another very backdated post (and there will be more to come)

We went back to Camerons in November last year although we were there the month before celebrating my mei-mei's 1st birthday. Mummy had a company's trip cum annual dinner so we all decided to tag along but we stayed at my grandpa's apartment.

Since the previous month, we didn't go to the waterfalls, we decided to stop at the waterfalls this round. Papa and mummy had no choice as I kept asking them about it till they gave in. So here are some of the pictures...

and with any other hoildays, i get to eat my junkfood! :D

had to be mummy's model again

We didn't take much pictures after that as the weather up at Camerons were soooo gloomy as it was raining everyday! I did however go to my regular spot which is at the playground. Sorry no pictures as mummy and my mei-mei didn't go as they were stuck at the apartment. Mei-mei was not feeling very well.

Since the weather was so gloomy, we stayed indoors most of the time. Not a place to visit during rainy season. If you want to see more pics of my mei-mei and her updates during this trip, you can visit her blog at http://haye-li.blogspot.com/.

Camerons - October 2009

We went to Camerons in October to celebrate my mei-mei's 1st birthday.

This what I did to entertain myself

We stopped by this hot spring at Kuala Woh, Tapah, which is on the way to Camerons and I had some fun in the waters.

I wish that I could go swimming or build stuff with the sand but we didn't bring any gear for this so papa said next time, we will have a picnic here.

After lunch, we went up to Camerons and I really wanted to stop by the waterfall at Latar Iskandar but it was raining so we headed straight to my grandpa's apartment.

When we have settled down, the rain stopped and so papa took me to the playground.

We had steamboat for dinner at Brinchang which the food was only so-so.

No, I'm not talking to anyone but listening to my favourite song, Love Story by Taylor Swift on papa's phone.

After dinner, we went back to the apartment and celebrated mei-mei's 1st birthday with a cake.

The next day, after breakfast, we went to the playground again and this time, with my mei-mei. I love this playground, every time we are in Camerons, this is must-visit place for me or else I will be showing you my blackest face ever.

After that we went back to take our showers and papa had his nap so while waiting for him, mummy took some shots of my mei-mei and I.

Finally we got to get out of the apartment and headed towards Boh tea farm at Ringlet. But I fell asleep on the way and so when I woke up, it was about to rain and hence, we hung out at the cafe for over an hour or so. So, no tea leaves pictures this time round.

I love eating mei-mei's leftovers when she doesn't finish her baby jar food, only the fruity ones that is.

Because the weather was so depressing as it was raining still, we hung out at the apartment and I got to enjoy some strawberries which I love so much. The sour, the better! This is also another must-have when I'm at Camerons.

My black-face pics - I didn't want mummy taking my pics but she kept going at it at my face

After trying many attempts to smile for her (since she didn't give up), we had a successful one.

Mummy's entry - Life without you

Dear Rye Li,

This can be considered the first time you’re away from me the longest (Bangkok last year don’t count as Mummy was away for work). I’m at home now while you’re away on a holiday with your handsome King (you have upgraded papa as you want to be the princess as usual).

To tell you the truth, Mummy was looking forward to this quiet time (although not that quiet as mei-mei is with me) as the past few nights, you were annoying me with your endless questions and your usual dilly-dallying stubborn self. The 2 nights before your trip, Mummy punished you by not letting you watch your TV before bedtime and you were not very happy with this.

It’s been only 1 night you have been away from home and Mummy misses you so much! In fact, yesterday itself when you left, Mummy already missed you!

You sounded really happy on the phone and Mummy is proud of you that you are all grown up now and sad at the same time too as you don’t really need me there with you. I guess it’s also probably you’re having so much fun without Mummy restricting you to a lot of things I usually do at home. I know you didn’t finish that whole ice cream nor ate so much junk food like what you said just now on the phone – as I know papa made you say that just to make me worry.

Mummy is happy that you’re happy and having a blast at the beach. I’m looking forward to seeing you after your holiday as I want to give you a big hug and kiss (Mummy feels guilty for punishing you now especially when papa forgot to take along the Barney DVD you so wanted to watch!).

But you don’t annoy Mummy so much okay?! And stop being such a smart Alec, er Jane and keep your comebacks to yourself okay?! I’m still dumbfounded with your reply that night …”Mummy, you don’t shout at me ok, after (wards) my ears pain ah!”. God knows where you learnt such comebacks from but you should keep these when you have started work in the future as these would do you good then. :D

Mummy got a slight confession to make – I’m enjoying your side of the bed (actually, it’s papa’s side but it has been yours for the past one year) and also, I’m enjoying your TV time as I get to watch all my shows now. Luckily, mei-mei doesn’t know how to ask for TV yet so I’m enjoying these nights to myself. But mummy still misses you though.

I will see you soon yea….Mummy loves you….sooooooooo much!

Love,
Mummy
p.s. I hope papa is taking loads of pictures as we need to update your blog!

A weekend getaway

Over the long weekend, we went to Cyberview Lodge for a night and basically to have fun. I had so much that I didn't want to go home. I hope we can go back there again.... enjoy the pics!

Yes, I love holidays! I will be going back to Perhentian Island again and this time, it's just me and my handsome prince, my papa! I'm already looking forward to those junk food....yumm!

Perhentian 2009

Aunty Ng was closed for a week, her annual shutdown during the 1st week of June and hence, we went for our holiday at Perhentian Island to see the happening mascot of Aunty Pei See and Uncle Ronnie's dive resort, their son, the beach bum baby, Kai Jin. Mind you, the last time I was there was when I attended their wedding when I was only 5 months old so it has been over 3 years since we were last there.

The journey was an arduous one....Mummy claimed I'm so well behaved compared to the last time. Of course, I'm all grown up! :D and also....I had this to entertain me... :D

yes, ever since my mei-mei came along, i've been upgraded to the front seat!

this time round i didn't like the speedboat ride into the island - i told mummy next time i want to seat on the big boat like the one we went to pangkor island in but she said 'don't have wor!'

i had my roti canai and sugar (my favourite!) when we went into the island


couldn't wait for the sun to go away, so we soaked into the sea

later in the evening only, my mei-mei joined me, her first time swimming

i love posing for the camera

one of my modeling poses

and another pose

this is why i love holidays.....my junk food!

my handsome prince lazing around in the sea, i would have joined him but he went so far away from the beach

this was how i lazed around on the first few days (with my mickey mouse arm floats and the donut float)

my handsome prince came and chase me

when i'm not wandering off on my own, i'll be playing with my beach toys in the sea

and doing some more modeling poses

and some more....vainpot i am! :D

trying to grab mummy's attention while she took pictures of my mei-mei

as the days went by, i got braver and moved into the sea without my floats or without people around

with kai-jin, the mascot for Bubbles Resort, he got cool toys to play with too

when it's too hot to play in the sun, we play in his playpen - it's so huge, the adults can come in and party with us too!

me again, wandering off on my own

more poses

and more (anyone want to hire a tot model?!)

on the hammock

getting burried in the sand...papa was too lazy to dig a big hole for me (actually i dug the hole for papa but he was too big!)

It was a good holiday as I hung out at the beach the whole day throughout our 5 nights/6 days there. I didn't even nap and I got to eat junk food everyday. Only thing I didn't like was the speedboat as it was too bumpy, noisy and windy for me. By the way, if you're wondering why no pics of my mei-mei, it's because this is not her blog. :) You can go to her blog and check out her pics there.
