Happy 30th Birthday to Chix!
Actual Day: 24 April 2010
May you stay happy,
May your baby fats remain intact,
May you stay healthy forever,
May you become rich-richer-richest,
May you stay handsome *pukes,
May you become a father soon...
Dinner at Waraku ~ Heeren
Just right before the dinner...
Min thought of a best cake for 老Chix
A DIY birthday cake
Its obvious that who is the main culprit drawing the 老Chix
Angelic face but ... *haiyo*

Look at her smiling cheekily




The completed product
How the cake looks?


See before 老Chix poo?


Min always takes nice photos with Charlotte
*jealous

Kids Meal all to herself


Staring angrily cos she kept on saying:
是我的Birthday
是我的cake
*gave up correcting her



This is our 老Chix!


Singing Happy Birthday
Charlotte really thinks that it is her birthday



Finally caught got the kissing photo
*evidence
老Chix look here: I am charging you, pls wait for my invoice



Charlotte cuts the cake instead of 老Chix


Choosing which piece/parts of the Chix to eat


老Chix teaching my girl bad stuffs
*evidence
Revenge when Little Chix is out

Charlotte loves cakes
ALL KINDs!

Charlotte's $6 Bob Look


Charlotte's $6 bob look
no more expensive REDs, finally!
Daddy decided on this bob look

I really dislike her fringe
Ivan brought her to those HDB downstairs shop for trim
REDs do a better job of course!
But this salon we visited near my house,
not bad too! - cheap

Guess she never cry cos kor kor cut her hair

Blurry photo cos taking reflection from mirror with hp cam

She hates drying her hair

Daddy is laughing at the little one
Love the new fringe

Childcare Nightmare

We started to send Charlotte to full day childcare on 5 April 2010 and it had been a nightmare till this morning...
As usual she will say that she does not want to go to childcare the moment she wakes up and starts to throw tantrums and cries for attention etc.
Today, she requested for noodles when she saw Ivan cooking some for me. When she tasted the noodles and found out that its spicy, she said "爸爸你给我吃辣椒,我不喜欢你 liao ah!"
*with her finger pointing to the sky - sort of giving Daddy a warning

Usually I will be pretty upset when she said things like that to me (happy that Ivan gets it this time cos I am always the disciplinary one) but this time round she makes it so comical and we both laughed.
She happily greeted her teachers "Good Morning" even though she told Ivan when he was walking her to childcare, "Daddy 我不要去 childcare (repeated umpteen times)!"

Hopefully next week will be a better one.

Baby Making Trip

Our Baby Making Trip to Bali
28 ~ 31 March 2010
But baby was already made :D



My dear is always out to act cute but I love it!


At breakfast

Our hotel activities ~ boring :)


The hotel we stayed in
USD30 per night for the most expensive room


Kuta/Legian beach
The beaches are not as beautiful as Phuket's
but their waves are good for surfing!

This fish spa is very itchy
paid rupiah 100,000 for it
some places charge 50,000 for it
but their fish tank not so clean
saw them scooping up some dead fishes


Ivan tried spa-ing the hands too




According to our tourist
every house in Bali has a shrine
and apparently the house behind our hotel seems to be rather rich
cos their shrine is bigger than the hotel's


We chanced upon this sort of cafe place in the backstreets


Banana milk shake and avocado juice
ignore the sprite
its just something to quench my thirst while walking

Yummy Nachos


Nasi Campur


Nasi dunno what


Our free breakfast ~
2 pieces of toast with butter, fruit juice/fruit salad and coffee/tea
definitely not enough for me?


Additional order at only Rupiah 15,000


Half eaten mee soup
too hungry cos rushing for time to go for full day trip
We paid USD55 each for a 12 hours whole day trip to tour around

Our first stop was a kuku sliver shop
our tour guide gave us a choice
either batik or silver
both dun sound interesting to us

Our second stop,
Barong Dance
Their lion looks like this?


The monkey is cute
know how to pose for us









Our third stop,
Arts School


They are really talented
but some of these drawings can be found outside
and they are much cheaper


No more photos cos its prohibited inside
P.S: Their nude drawings very real


We visited a Hindu temple

Sarongs are worn as a form of respect


Guardians of the temple
with big eyes




According to our tourist
the status are kept and only displayed during festival
as they were many status stolen before
due to their historical value
and becos they are plated with gold




Hindus believe that there are many forms of god
but utimately
there is only one god

Initially thought that this notice may be telling us the name of the temple
but after uploading it
felt that its more like telling us the rules of the temple


A mini waterfall
Greens smell great!





We visited the plantation
Manual roasting of coffee beans
This is one of the places where famous Coffee Luwak can be found




Grounding into powder

Samples ~
coffee, cocoa, lemon grass tea, ginger tea and ginseng coffee

They do not use filter for their coffee
hence need to wait for the particles to settle down before drinking


Coffee Luwak
Rupiah 30,000 per cup


This creature, Paradoxurus loves to eat red ripe coffee cherry and after they swallow the whole coffee cherry,
it undergoes chemical treatment and fermantation and is pooped out.
Their poo will be collected, cleaned, roasted and ground.

Then it is the famous Coffee Luwak!


Mount Batur
Kintamani tour
Love this part of the tour the best
the weather is cooling
esp with the right amount of sunlight












But we had no other choice but to have this buffet lunch
as there are no other restaurants around
Rupiah 80,000 per person














Wondered what are the rebars left for??

Rice plantation






Newly planted rice ~ 1 week old










We were at Jimbaran
and was supposed to watch sunset and had a romantic by the beach dinner
Inclusive in the package :)





Dark clouds









Frankly, it tasted like what it looks
Not fantastic :)



Their soup tasted like msg chicken stock
I can cook better ones


I can fry better veg too!



Woah... so dusty de




Tried taking so many photos of the small sharks
and since I could not take good ones....


I opt for the lobster!


Amazing creation with bottles
Wind Chime
