Chinese “Niu” (Cow) Year 2008
As usual the Chinese New Year eve and first day of CNY, we celebrated in Menglembu. Long before CNY, you already had the festive mood as your school had taught you to sing CNY songs. We were surprised that you could sing the mandarin CNY songs so well as you didn’t know any Chinese word. First day of CNY, you wore the Chinese traditional costume bought by Yi-yi from Singapore (Thanks ,Yi-yi!). You enjoyed playing with di-di Julian for the time spent in M’lembu.
On 2nd day, we went to poh-poh house. You played fireworks and had minor burns on your finger. Since then, you were abit scared to play fireworks. Actually everyone was saying that you were very brave as you dare to light up the fireworks.
Then on the 3rd day, we packed our luggage and went down to KL. We stayed in Kiu Kiu’s apartment. This trip we brought you to Sunway Lagoon and we went to the amusement park and wild life park. You enjoyed the kiddy horse ride, merry-go-round, spaceship and train. The train was quite thrilling as it was very fast and would go through a dark tunnel. Initially you were scared but after mummy asked you to scream, your scared feeling disappeared and you felt so fun! Then we went to the wild life park. You have taken photo with the pony and you had seen snake, rabbit, tortoise, parrot, otter and etc. We also watched the animal show. You really enjoyed yourself and refused to go home even though it was already in the late afternoon.
Besides Sunway Lagoon, you also went to see the Giant Lion which is a must-not-miss activity for KL. This was our 3rd trip to KL and you requested to see the giant lion everytime before we started our journey.
This CNY was a special one as we had never travel to other place during CNY all the while. I guess Gabriel, you enjoyed this special CNY.
Having fun with soft toys...
Love,
From mummy & papa
