My First Overseas Trip! - Melaka (18-21 Dec) - Day 3

Day 3 is the day we are making our way back home. D&M started out the day early with a pitstop at a Bak Ku Teh shop that looks to be quite packed with locals which we discovered while scouring around town yesterday. Gong Gong & Po Po like this dish a lot...so here we are!

Check out the happy grins on Po Po & Gong Gong! Mummy too!

Claypot Bak Ku Teh! Comes with lots of ingridents such as oyster mushrooms, button mushrooms, meat balls, tau ki & of course the Bak Ku!

Gong Gong & Po Po tucking in earnestly into the sedap (delicious) meal!

After the hearty Bak Ku Teh breakfast, Daddy drove us down to Muar to tour the place around and also this is the main town of my paternal grandparents. So I can pay my respects to them...

So here I am with Daddy standing in front of the temple housing the ashes of my paternal grandma. Daddy makes a yearly trip here with Ye Ye during the Qing Ming festival and visits the graves of the forefathers. wonder when I can join him on his trips?

Gong Gong & Mummy posing for pics too before offering incense to the deities at this temple.

Thereafter, we heading to a local restaurant to grab a quick lunch before heading back to Singapore. Here, naughty mummy is making fun of me again!

Home Sweet Home! We finally reached backed home after a 622km drive over the past 3 days, taking us about 3hrs on the return journey, with no summons, no speeding (daddy claims this is the first time the speedometer stays within the speed limit & all because I'm around..hehe) and lots of local product. The boot is so heavy that the handling of the car is affected as claimed by Daddy - the sole driver. Adious and till my next trip in March!

My First Overseas Trip! - Melaka (18-21 Dec) - Day 2

I had a good rest at the hotel...sleeping through the night without any milk calls...D&M were amazed...guess maybe because I was tired from the long car journey....which I also slept through...haha...sleep more so when D&M bringing me out, I could see more stuff right?

Check out the pics of our Day 2 activities below...

Daddy brought us down to the Eye of Malaysia (similar to Singapore Flyer) to snap some pics.

Here's one for the family album

Gong Gong & Po Po also pose for the album

Daddy & me posing with the trusted vehicle loaned by Ye Ye & Ma Ma for this trip...

We drove around town to find a place to get Dim Sum for brunch...Daddy was smart to try out the chinese locals town and indeed we found a gem for nice dim sum! As the saying goes, where there are chinese, there will be dim sum...haha...that's what Daddy told us!

After the satisfiying dim sum brunch, we headed to Tan Kim Hock foodstuff to get the local produce such as coffee powder, piahs, chilli paste, lime honey conc etc...spent a total of close to 500RM!

Check out the mountain of local produce at this famed shop

Even our minister was here to get some stuff!

Here's the founder himself..Mr Tan! But not Daddy (Eric Tan)!

After Po Po & Mummy had made their purchases for the local produce, we had a pitstop back at hotel before heading to nearby Mahkota Parade for some window shopping...Daddy posing with me in front of a X'mas Tree deco with Teddy Bears...Daddy, are you getting me one?

Ya, and D&M decided to take me as a specimen to get a wax figurine of my feet...which got me frighten and burst out screaming and crying at the top of my lungs!

No No!!! Dun wax me!!! I'm not into waxing!!!

here's the finished wax figurine!

For dinner, Daddy drove around town and found another gem...Chinese food...which won the best restaurant of the year...lots of S plate cars at this place...must be good...cos Singaporeans are famed for sniffing out good food...haha...

But you all know that I'm still on milk only program...so I decide to take a nap while waiting for the food to be dished...then I can embark on my usual screams for milk cos I wanna eat with everybody too!

When comes to eating, mummy is always happy!

So much food again? The adults had Oyster Egg, Pork with black fungus, Sambal Prawns, Veggie with preserved egg, Cod Fish in 2 flavours...what a spread...while I only have....

but MILK only....with these flavours lor...so unfair...so I scream...haha...to disturb the adults from a peaceful meal...hehe...cheeky right?

My First Overseas Trip! - Melaka (18-21 Dec) - Day 1

Hi Everybody! I've made my first overseas trip last week to our neighbouring country, Malaysia. Daddy drove the whole family up with Gong Gong & Po Po in tow to ensure that I behaved and looked after properly. Boy, was it a thrilling experience to get my first passport stamp at the newly opened CIQ (customs) at Johor when we entered via the causeway.

We stayed a total of 3 days 2 nights in malaysia, mainly in melaka and the lodging was provided FOC by Uncle Victor & Aunt June. Thank you both! D&M were really excited while worried at the same time if I would be a "kuai" baby and behaved during the trip. I think I surprised Daddy cos he told me that I scored 8 out of 10 for behaving myself during this trip...(daddy rarely give full marks anyway)...

Check out the trip pics below and am looking forward to my next trip for next March to Sabah...D&M already got the tickets and hope this time round, I will be able to score a 9 for the upcoming flight and the high altitude!

That's me with Gong Gong & Po Po at Mahkota Hotel

Close up of me and Po Po

After checking in, Daddy drove us to try out the famed Melaka Chicken Rice ball at this eatery to fill out our hungry stomachs!

Many TV stars came here to savour the Chicken Rice balls too..maybe I'll be one too in future?

Can you tell that Gong Gong is hungry from this pic? hehe...

See...told you that the adults were hungry already...they eaten then realised that they forgetten to take pics!

ok, here's the balance of the food....can you tell what we had?

A satisfied Po Po posing with me


Next, Daddy drove us to the famous Cheng Hoon Teng Temple...wait....Daddy wanna snap pic for me!!

I'm caught amazed by the sculptures of the main door...can see dragons!

More pics of the temple surroundings.

Posing with mummy..and the luohans...=)

We then crossed over to another temple on the opposite side of the road which preaches on the Buddha's teachings...hm...what is Po Po looking at?

Oh, Ah Gong!

One can catch the full view of the Cheng Hoon Teng temple from the 2nd storey of the Buddha's temple...can you spot us? hehe...it's getting late...obvious right? so...it's dinner time!!

Before we get dinner, Daddy spotted this signboard which states that Melaka town has been awarded the UN Heritage Site status from 07072008. whoa...does that mean that one must pay to visit this part of the town in future?? ...lucky I came early....=P

For dinner, Daddy brought us to this famed Nonya restaurant named OLE SAYANG. Po Po caught the nonya fever from the recent screening of the "small nonya" over TV 8. So she is really excited to be able to come to this Peranakan town to savour the authentic nonya dishes!

See the wide grin on her face? The pics on the wall are the ancestors of the restaurant founder

again, the adults are too hungry to snap pics...you make out what we had from the balance of the food shown in this pic! haha...can? Asam Pedas fish head, Rendang Ayam, Chilli Sotong, Otah, Tohu Goreng, Sambal Kangkong, ....you can guess how "hot" my milk was that night after dinner!

Satisfied looks on Gong Gong, Po Po & Mummy as we pose outside the restaurant after the sumptuous dinner

BOTAK ELLA!! My First Haircut!

D&M decided to bring me to have my hair trimmed...cos I been pulling out my hair in frustrations lately...especially whenever my Milk in demand cries doesnt work...hehe..so I'm quite bald on the side of my head now...so might as well...check out the thrilling experience below...=)

The barber has me wrapped up nicely with a nice towel to prepare for the haircut..OMG!

Mummy steadied her grip on me. She should trust me..I'm a good girl throughout the ordeal!

See..i told you so right..hehe..check out my side profile too!

Uncle Barber...cant you leave some hair for me?? Must it be BOTAK??

Check out the videos below too..=)
