Having a girl definitely gives very good advantages. Wanna know why? See for yourself. As she was doing it, I grabbed the camera and captured it all on video.

Emily is just so amazing, :good: she snatched my broom & dust pan and insisted she wants to help. Now I can fold my hands and shake legs while she helps me with housework. :lol:. I am so proud of her. Only 1.5 yrs, already know how to do housework. Anyone can beat that? Who needs a maid? :dance:

I was teaching Emily to call mummy but failed. She still refuses to call mummy. She can call mama but that also not so frequent. She can call almost everyone (papa, korkor, cheche, porpor, koongkoong, yeahyeah, mama, yiyi) except mummy.

Mummy: Call Mummy Mummy Mummy.

Emily: *ignore mummy & do her own things*

Mummy: Call Papa

Emily: Papaaaaaa *with a loud voice*

Mummy: Call Mummy *point to nose*

Emily: Noseeeee *show her cheeky face with her pucker lips*

Mummy: *geram, bite her fat thigh*

Emily: *giggles*

Yesterday, my babysitter took care of Emily because today she had to send her son to school. Now I am working from home with Emily. I took the opportunity to take my son shopping yesterday. He had fun. He is very good boy when mummy take him out. Where is daddy? Daddy wanted to stay at home to rest, clean up some cupboard of his and wanted some peace.

Anyway I drove to Gurney Plaza. As you know, it will be fairly hard to get any parking, as it is a replacement public holiday. I was fortunate as I saw a family coming out and looking for their car. I tailgate them and finally got to park. The shopping mall is not as jam pack as Mid Valley in KL. There were still lots of space to move. I haven’t been shopping for clothes for a long long time, so I decided to get some CNY clothes for myself. Usually when we go out shopping, I always head for the children department. There was 1 shop giving out 50% discount on some nice clothes. Of coz, it is jam pack inside. Oh I had my son on a stroller, even pushed it to the changing room so that I can try out the clothes. I was pretty happy with what I got.

I saw a couple with his family buying a new stroller for a newborn baby. As they were going out, probably their first time handling a stroller, they didn’t know how to push it up the escalator. I heard them from a far saying, “Let’s see how this mom pushed it up.” They were all looking at me. I pretend not to know but inside, I was giggling. Pushing it up is not difficult but pushing it down the escalator required more skills.

It was fun to shop with my son. We started at 1pm and went home at 4pm. As I was leaving, there were so many cars coming into the car park. It was also pouring outside. There were few roads flooded with water. A tip on driving, if you see a huge jam ahead, always look for a taxi, the taxi will know how to go through small roads to avoid jam, which I did.

One turning I made, I saw cars stopping by the side because they didn’t want to attempt to cross the flooded road. I even saw a Wira broke down in the middle. Anyway, there were some cars that attempted and got through, so I follow behind. Later I saw a lorry fume up with black smoke. His lorry broke down. I got through. :pray: I was praying as I went through it. Got home safe and sound. By the time we reached home, my son was napping.

I brought my family to Bukit Merah Lake Town Resort for new year. It is about 45 minutes drive from Penang. It has a big Water Theme Park, not as big as Sunway Water Park. I know my children will love it because they love water. Beside Water Park and the chair lift, there is nothing else special. There is an island where they house some orang hutan. We have to take a boat ride across. By the way, it is not cheap. They have a combo ticket, which covers everything, cost RM39 per adult, and children (over 90cm) cost RM29. Emily didn’t have to pay, haven’t reach the height yet and she cannot ride the chair lift too.

Worst experience is the Lake Town Service Apartment that we booked. There were no electricity on New Year’s Eve, we have to tolerate 2 hours of no air condition or no air. We had to tolerate the noisy children shouting at the corridor. Worst is there was a big puddle of water outside our unit.

So much for the bad experience, we enjoyed the water theme park and I don’t mind going again. If you just want to pay for the water theme park, it is RM20 per adult and RM10 for children.

Warning: Photos below are taken with a camera casing. Do not use your normal camera for photo shooting, it will get wet. A camera casing looks like this. If you have a Canon A80, I can loan you the casing. I bought this for my hubby for his birthday a few years back.

There is a big arcade where children can have fun.

Emily sat on a big truck.

With RM1, I tried my skills on picking a soft toy from one of the machine. I succeeded in getting a black penguin. Emily loves it so much. However Tim wanted one too. I wasted another RM20 for not getting anything. Some machines cheated me. 😥 You see, I manage to pick the toy and as it lifted it up, the claw open and the toy drop. It happened a few times. I had to buy something for Tim.

We took a stroll around the jetty. Emily was disappointed that one of the spot closes which she wanted to go it.

Next morning, we had a boat ride across the island to visit the orang hutan. Nothing much to shout about because it is a very small place. You can finish seeing the entire place in 5 minutes or less. The concept is very unique, the orang hutan is out in the open but the visitors, which is we is in the cage looking out to them. Anyway, the children enjoyed the boat ride but refused to put on the life jackets. My son said, “Eeeeik, so dirty, don’t want!”
