2018 Disney On Ice

18 March 2018


Just got back from family vacation to Hong Kong Disneyland and coincidently bought Disney On Ice tickets for this weekend so now it is still a Disney week (for me the least...)!


Had to bring all the barang barang bought from HK Disneyland for this show - makes it uniquely for him to blend into the show...  #现在流行玩dressedup #alldresseditmickeyattires


This year with lesser / standing around, lesser fussing to be seated... think he has grown to understand and enjoy shows.  #moretocome  #annualevent



17 Mar - Magical weekend with Disney on Ice! #week219 #disneyweek


17 Mar - When Papa is buying breakfast, we wefie! #week219 #disneyweek


17 Mar - Met up with the Lims after the show for lunch and playdate.  Le couple wear with Renee! #week219 #disneyweek

Weekend at Legoland!

13 January 2018


Took Friday off for his 4YO health assessment review at Polyclinic and a visit to LEGOLAND after his review.  Plan was to drive in and stay-over for Korean BBQ, massages, super-marketing and car grooming!  :)


Weather was gloomy but was cooling and enjoyable for all!  Never before I've seen patrons wearing sweaters and cardis in the theme park in a tropical countries like Malaysia (it's always HOT and sunny whole-year round).


So here's my little curly fries tucked into poncho... happily splashing the rain puddles and hopping around the park, enjoying himself!

12 Jan - Gloomy weather, we liked!


 12 Jan - Both decked in Lego theme tees!  Finally get to drive Lego car and his 1st driving license! (he didn't get to drive when he was here 2 years ago...) #week210


12 Jan - Dinner was at Jeju Korean BBQ dinner!  Look at the table-full of feast! #week210
 
 
12 Jan - Checked into a cheap hotel stay over at Bt. Indah and look, who's enjoying riding on the swing. #week210

 
13 Jan - While Papa is having his car-groomed, we had coffee at the nearby café and made this "sand-craft" to kill time.  (you're welcome for my patience spent on doing this...) #week210
