ah Thiang's 34!

28 October 2015


ah Thiang turns 34 this year!


No special celebration, we went for Wagyu beef+sashimi buffet (totally not worth the money, and we aren't going back for sure...) and had the traditional candle blowing ceremony on the actual day.  Going away for a post-birthday celebration, in collaboration with Baby N's maiden flight to HKG this weekend!  Whoooooooyaaaaaaaaa!

To my better half;

I love you to the moon and back!

Happy happy blessed birthday!

Week 95 (21 months)!

The long awaited, Baby N's maiden flight is happening soon... this weekend!

Yesh - we are leaving for Hong Kong for a 5D4N this Saturday!  Of course, what's a toddler's holiday without a visit to  Hong Kong Disneyland?  We will be Disneyland Hollywood hotel on the last night of our vacation.  Hope this kiddo will have this memory kept in his pea brain until his next visit to the other parks of the world.  (This trip alone cost us almost $2,000 prior landing onto HK soil - flight, Airbnb, hotel, park tickets, meal vouchers, insurance...)

Well, I always have this saying... "don't bring baby/toddlers to Disneyland, it's such a waste of money... they won't remember a thing!" but never did I realised that I actually did the same thing!

My excuses was;

1) he hasn't gotten his passport chopped once since he got 'em at 6 months old...
2) we get to pay infant price before his age hits two...

valid right...?

Meaning to say, for such excuses... I have already planned the next flight to somewhere nearer - KL, in December!  Both my parents and MIL is coming along too!  Hope both trips are manageable... so excited!
