Perth, Perth, we are coming 2 visit soon!

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
