Preparing for her BIG day

 testing our selfie stick
 
durian time

 
the birthday preparation

Mummy ordered a selfie stick online and got it delivered on Tues. At home we tried using it and had fun playing with it before Emeryn attends her BM tuition. On Fri evening mummy went out with her friend for dinner and coffee, leaving Emeryn at Por Por's place. Mummy picked Emeryn at about 10.30pm and we went home. 

The next morning, mummy sent Emeryn to Por Por's house again as she was going to KL for her company annual dinner. Sat was a schooling day as well for the replacement of Raya. Ah Kong sent Emeryn to school and picked her up at 5pm. In the morning, daddy went to school and took her report card. Emeryn's result is deteriorating compare to last year.

Ah Kong and Por Por brought Emeryn to the Children's Library on Sun morning. Emeryn requested them to leave her there alone and come back to her later and they did as per requested. Luckily she did not go missing as mummy were quite worry. Mummy reached Penang at about 2pm and headed to Por Por's house for lunch. After our lunch, we left and headed to Times Square as mummy wanted to buy some party pack for Emeryn's birthday. We went to Mr DIY and bought 12 set of stationary. Last week mummy were busy preparing the invitation cards and the party packs for Emeryn's birthday. Before leaving Emeryn asked mummy to get her durian. We bought a pack of durian at RM10 and had it there before leaving.

Father's Day dinner for Ah Kong


Emeryn attended her daycare for full day for the past 1 week. We spent the last week of school holiday in Penang, basically not going anywhere. After picking Emeryn from daycare, we would drop by at the playground where Emeryn played along with the kids there.

On Sat, it was the Malaysia Supermodel Audition at Queensbay Mall. We left home at about 1pm after getting some simple hairdo and make up done by mummy. Upon reaching QBM, mummy brought Emeryn to KFC and let her had a quick bite before registering her entry. Emeryn was supposed to be the first contestant on the runaway. She almost broke down knowing that as she was very nervous. Mummy got the organizer to change the numbering and yet she would still be the second participant on the runaway, to be exact the first kid participant. On the spot, the organizer brief us which spot to pose and what to say. The participants were given a list of details they should say on the stage and there would be a Q&A session. Emeryn was panicked and requested mummy to stand beside her all the time. Mummy ensures her that everything would be ok and she bravely walked up on the stage with pride and joy. She wasn't really able to answer the question by the judge but he is kind enough to guide Emeryn to the answer.  Everything went well and mummy felt so proud seeing her brave baby on the runaway with her catwalk She went for lunch with Ah Ma &  Joey who came to support her after her catwalk.

Ah Ma & Joey left after lunch and we went shopping at Jusco before going back to the event for the closing ceremony. The result will be announce on July via email. It was such a big achievement for Emeryn on her first solo catwalk. We left QBM about 5pm. We then headed to Uncle Charles's home to pass him our passport to be transported back to KL. After leaving Uncle Charles's home, we de-toured to our soon-to-be-paradise just to try our luck if we were allowed to go in for a quick viewing. Unfortunately we ain't that lucky after all. Before going home, we bought dinner as we were too tired to go out for dinner.

On the last day of school holiday, we woke up slightly earlier than our usual weekend. We headed to Bibis Cafe for our brunch. Emeryn ordered an egg benedict and mummy ordered spaghetti bolognese and a cup of macchiato. The food there are seriously yummy but the down side was the small place which can't accommodate huge group. After our satisfying meal, we headed to the optometry at Pulau Tikus for Emeryn's half yearly check up. Unexpectedly her vision remains the same as half year ago. The optometrist did not suggest a glasses for Emeryn despite her reading is at 75. What a relief!!!

We then drove to Penang Municipal Park and headed to the accessible playground. It was our first time there and we were really impressed with the set up. The Easy Accessible Playground is the first Accessible Playground in Malaysia. It conforms with the Principles of Universal Design and accessible to special children including those using wheelchairs, with health problems, mentally retarded, down syndrome and others. We only dropped by for about 20mins to have a short play and snapped some photo as the weather was too hot for us. On our way to the children library, we had a pit-stop at the coconut stall and had a coconut drink as our thirst breaker. Emeryn went to the library and picked up few books she wanted to borrow. She bumped into her schoolmate there and later they went into the i-play room to play together. We spent an hour there before leaving to Gurney Paragon.

We celebrated Father's Day for Ah Kong along with Theng Ee Ee, Uncle Kelvin and Por Por at Savaro. We went home almost immediately after the dinner to prepare for the next schooling day.

Mummy took a day off on Fri and we headed to Taiping along with "Uncle Uncle". He was going back to his hometown, so mummy took the opportunity to make a trip to Taiping as well. He was our local guide there showing us around. Mummy offered to drive and we started our journey at 8.30am. It took us an hour to reach Taiping. After doing some research on Taiping, mummy wanted to try the food at Restaurant Kakak. We ordered the koay teow soup and dry koay teow, and not forgetting the infamous Kakak Peng which serves as combination of barley and nescafe. It definitely worth a try. 

After our fulfilling breakfast we headed to the Taiping Lake. Our first stop was the lake side where we snapped some nice photo with the angsana trees and the scenic view of the lake. We then stopped at the park where mummy took Emeryn for her cycling lesson. after few tries, she still failed to cycle on her own. Out of frustration, mummy walked back to the car to get the training wheel leaving Emeryn with Uncle Uncle there. While walking towards the park with the training wheel on her hand, mummy saw Emeryn cycling on her own. Woo hoo!!! Finally she can cycles and of course the credit goes to Uncle Uncle who patiently taught her. Emeryn commented "He is a good teacher because he don't scold and beat me while teaching me how to cycle". Mummy felt ashamed with her comment. We spent another hour there making Emeryn familiarize with her new skills, even though we sweat terribly. Mummy also took some video of Emeryn while she cycles. 

Next we headed to Tune Hotel and checked in. Uncle Uncle left while mummy and Emeryn had a good rest and a shower before heading out for our late lunch. We had our lunch at the Larut Matang Food Court and tried the specialty there, fried dry koay teow. After our lunch we drove around the small town and mummy bought some biscuit. Eventually Emeryn fell asleep in the car. Running out of places to go, we decided to give Kuala Sepetang a shot. It is only 12km from Taiping. We finally reached the jetty after getting direction from the locals. We took some name cards back for our next trip to Kuala Sepetang. Then we headed back to the hotel.

We went out for dinner at about 7.30pm and tried a new food. It was a combination of laksa and curry mee and surprisingly the taste blends very well. Then Uncle Uncle dropped us at the Night Safari after helping us to purchase the discounted entrance ticket using his local id card. It was our first time visiting Night Safari and mummy don't think it worth a visit during the night time. We hardly see any animal given the limited lighting there. Another concern was the safety where only the two of us walking in the dark surrounded by the bushes. We walked for almost an hour, covering 70% of the whole area before boarded a train to tour the area. In total it took us 2 hours to finish exploring the night safari before Uncle Uncle dropped us back to the hotel. Emeryn ended her night near to mid-nite as she insisted watching the tv programme before her bed time.

The next morning, we woke up at 8.30am and went out for breakfast after getting ready. We drove around town after our breakfast before checking out at 11am. We then head over to Sentosa Villa, suppose to be a private property and walked in as though we are the guest there. Emeryn loves the villa surrounded by lush greenery and mother nature. It was a perfect lay back holiday. There are few small streams that run through the resort, a breeding place for arowana and other fishes. Ducks, turkeys and hens were also seen running freely at the nature path. Emeryn took off her slippers and set her foot into the streams, joining the rest of the guests there. After spending a short time there, we drove to Maxwell Hill and Burmese Pool without going into it.

Our final destination was to hunt for the famous mee udang at Mak Jah Restaurant @ Kuala Sepetang. We made our journey there and savored the much awaited meal. After filling up our tummies, we drove home.
