Perth, Perth, we r coming to visit soon!!!
Yipee, after few weeks of surfing the ieternet, flipping thru magazines, getting info from friends, I have finally settled all the hotels accomodation bookings, the car rental booking with GPS & baby car-seat, and of cos, our itinery =)...
Frankly speaking, I was abit worried initially cos we booked our car from Avis on the internet, but no matter how hard I tried 2 search for an option for me to add on a GPS & baby car-seat, I just couldnt. Luckily I managed to call their office(in dunno where), to get them to arrange for the car-seat & GPS for us.
If everything goes well, our itinery would be like this,
Day 1: reach Perth airport abt 1440, check out, collect car etc etc,
then head down to Gilgara Retreat(as recommended by Mike & Audrey)
for the night, infact 2 nights=)
Day 2: Explore Magaret River, the animal farm, chocolate factory, cheese factory, berry farm(as recommended by Karin) etc etc...
Day 3: Continue exploring Magaret River, then head down 2 Karri Valley Resort(recommended by Peter Teh). Frankly speaking, thru the internet, Karri Valley does looks like a beautiful place, hope I wont be disappionted=p
Day 4: Checkout from Karri Valley & drive back to Perth, planning to reach Perth in the evening, then check-in to Sheraton, infact it would b Sheraton for the last 3 nights.
Day 5: Cavernsham in Perth
Day 6: Fremantle, Swan River & King's Park(provided if time allows us)
Day 7: Checkout from Sheraton, proceed to Perth airport, then back to SG at 9.++pm.(Wonder if anyone would be picking us up=))
Kion has been very excited about this coming trip, kept asking when can she go to Australia, whether can she carry the koalas to sleep & if she could feed the kangaroos. I am of cos glad to see her happy, but those who knows her would know that she is actually very timid so who knows, she might not even dare touch the kangaroos when we reach the farms, hehehee..
Anyway, I would definitly update everyone of the trip when we return.
Actually, there are 2 thing which has been bothering me these 2 wks. One of them is actually Kion's behaviour. She had been pushing me to my limits at dinner time for the past few nights, she wont sit still, insist on walking here & there,then when I raise my voice, she just sit on the floor, burst out crying, pretend to cough out the food in her mouth & I really just dont no how to handle this kind of behaviour. I admit, I did scream at her in the end, cos she really does get on my nerves sometimes.
Okok, I know screaming probably isn't the right way to discipline a child, but what else can I do when no matter how I talk & pacify her, she just cant get her butt glue to her chair and finish her meal. I agree that it might be my fault cos we didnt had a proper dining table when we first shifted in as table & sofa only arrived today... So she, as a child, probably just cant sit & eat on the floor with us without thinking about her toys, as she usually sits & play toys. Anyway, I remembered a tactic "super nanny" used & I'm going to apply it for the next few nights=)
The other thing which I dont feel good about is the swimming pool & Kion's bbehaviour again, when we goes to the pool. Well, as we have a pool just downstairs now, I try to make an effort to bring her down for a swim almost daily, yet everyday b4 we go down, I would warn her not to cry when its time to go home, but everything without fail, she would disappoint me & cry when I ask her to go home=(
I mean whats wrong??? Its not like I only bring her to the pool once in a blue moon, Y does she have to react like that?
Is this the terrible 2 stage??? I tot I had already gone thru this so-called terrible 2 stage when she was abt 23mths, turning 2yr???
Anyway, I hope she will outgrown her bad behaviour soon as it really herts me alot when I sees how she cry everytime I scold her, with tears flowing freely down her cheeks & mucus flowing down her nose.... So sad....
By the way, Kion went to a wedding dinner first time since she was born, & she really enjoyed herself. I think she played too hard that she overslept the next day & skipped school=(. Congrats to Derrick & Regina, may the 2 of u stay as a happy & loving couple always. Attached r pics of the wedding, without the bride & groom....=p

Our Dream come true
Hehe, finally setup my blog today....
Okok, so I know I'm very late 2 start blogging now, especially since darling Kion is already 30mths old(I remember I had wanted 2 start blogging ever since I knew I was pregnant, so that I would not forget about the whole pregnancy process), but its better late than never right???
Its all thanks 2 Ainsley(Huimin), cos was msming with her few weeks ago & telling her that I dont think I could keep up with blogging if I ever started, but she said "even if u give up half-way, at least u still have the bits u had blogged" Her words were so encouraging, or at least it was encouraging 2 me as it gave me the determination 2 start =)
Ok, so we finally moved into our new house on 2nd July 2010, it's like a dream come true for us, or at least for me.... we waited almost 3 years b4 we were able 2 buy a new house.
Not that I didn't like our cosy little old place, I mean it was our first love nest, so how could I not like it right??? I even felt a bit sad when it was time to move out, although I have to agree that having a home where the afternoon sun shines strongly into the master bedroom 24/7 isn't exactly likeable.
Anyway, I decided 2 post this 1st blog with pics of our new place so that I will always remember how beautiful our new house looks in the early days, cos we all knows, as time goes by, we would begin buying more & more things into our house, making this once looking so spacious home to look smaller & smaller, messier & messier...
I know that Kelvin's favourite corner in this house is actually our illegally modified planter turn water-feature, although I do admit that the whole water-feature thing is simply beautiful, I'm also very afraid that our planter may crack due 2 the heavy weight of the water feature. I mean that's what the management said when they disapprove us of setting up the water-feature in our planter. Anyway what done is done, we can only sit & pray that nothing's gonna happen.
I wonder where is Kion's favourite corner in this house as she seems 2 like every inches of the place, from the bathtub in my toilet to her pinky room, oh, and she even like the small toilet in the yard =)
Anyway, my favourite place in this house is our master bedroom=)
the reason is simple, cos the design was choosen by me! Hehe, actually its bcos of the colours combi that makes the room feels cosy, & also bcos of its spaciousness, I mean we managed to put a King's size bed in the room & am still able 2 make space for me to lay my yoga mat on the floor.
Well, whatever it is, I just hope that we would live happily ever after in our Home sweet home =)
