Koko's birthday in Kuching

20/10/2013.

Special Sarawak cake for Koko. Peppermint banana kek lapis :)

Koko wanted to have the 'Banana - minion' cake but we found a replacement of banana for him. He was very good and didn't get grumpy over it. 

Our family photo in the hotel room. 

Colourful famous cakes in Sarawak. 

Cameron Aug 2012

Our annual vacation place. This year, we are slightly late in the planning for this place. Too many uncertain things happening around. .

On the way, Koko purposely make his funny face looking at the camera. 

Brunch with rojak. Didi has most of the fruits. 

My brunch - Hor Fun. 

We got the hotel booked since June, with the promotion voucher from Groupon.With the upgrade of room to Suite, it was really great.The hotel didn't located the main road, you will have to drive 5-10min in a curvy road to reach the place

Koko said that's the waterfall. His cute pose.

Early morning, asked both of them to pose with the flowers. 

Breakfast at Jim Thompson. 

Check out what his hand is holding on. 

The typical place to visit in Cameron. 

Goat feeding. Both of them love it very much.  

Flower oh flower..

Vegetable farm, strawberry..

Strawberry head. :)

Fresh strawberry. Very cheap as it's the fasting month. 

Dinner. We have a lot of vegetables over here. It's nice and fresh. 

Playground after dinner.  

A photo before we leave. 

Having fun on the car. 

Check out their knees. Koko has a fall. Didi said his leg is painful too even though nothing happen. 

Cheeky Koko recently...

Koko is now 19++kg, and he is over 100cm (causing us to pay extra head for buffet). He has his own thought and can surprise you with his actions. He is learning fast. One of the thing that I notice most is he will learn when he watched me or Hubby do it. Eg: I will use a chair to climb up to get thing high store in the cupboard. Now, Koko and even Didi knows that they need something to help them to reach high. Koko will push the chair around to the place he wanna reach. Didi is still very cautious on climbing on small surface such as chair, but he will start on anything that is big for him to reach. 

Check these out.. very playful Koko nowadays..

Koko was running at the mall to look for his favorite machine, unfortunately he can't find it and he found these.

We went into the games center. Koko was trying everything (no coin inserted by the way :)). Luckily, he didn't insisted on staying there. 

Koko followed his cousin brother very closely. One of day, after the Pangkor trip, I asked him if he wanna new swimming costume. He told me ' Yes, and i want the Ben10 shirt too.' I were surprise, where does this Ben10 shirt come about. 'ED Koko wear it.' Oohh... now I realize..

Koko did this himself. Showing off his serious face and asked me to take photo. I found it so funny as his face is totally looks very different.

With Punjabi shirt that bought by Hubby. I were forced to keep this green shirt as Koko loves it so much. Among 10 of them, this is the one he chooses. The deodorant, that's the thing that he is promoting and he insisted must has it to take the photo.

Koko is good at posing now.

Taken last night. This morning, while Koko was sitting there, Didi mentioned he want to. But I said no to Didi as we were rushing. Then, Didi just did it in his new pampers. I feel guilty for not trusting Didi this time. Didi has tricked me almost every night when he doesn't wanna go to bed. 

Pangkor Island Visit

10 March 2012..
Pangkor Island is very different from what I have remembered. My last trip to Pangkor was more than 10yrs ago when hubby and I were just graduated from PUO. The jetty area has been expanded. Many shoplots are build around it, selling the local delicacy from Pangkor Island.

Pangkor Jetty @ Lumut.

Local food from Pangkor Island

Helping with the luggage.

Ferry to get over to the island. 

Ticket RM10 adult and RM5 child for 2 ways.

On the ferry. Didi is curious with the water sound.

Koko is having fun with the cousin sisters.

Waiting at the hotel lobby while waiting for check-in. 

After check-in to the room, it was almost 3pm and has passed their noon nap. So, we ended up in the pool for the evening.

Both of them were really enjoying themselves in the pool on the evening. Koko can jump into the pool, with his head submerged into the water. On our last trip, he was still afraid of water. But this time, he was so smart, showing his swimming skill - hand paddling with leg walking in the water. Didi is a daring guy. He just walked by himself in the pool. Though fell down twice into the water, he was still ok to go by his own. Watching mom was so worry.  

Watching TV and lying on bed while waiting for dinner.

11 March 2012..

The next morning,  once woke up, Koko already wanted to go back for swimming. He got his suit ready and asked me not to keep it in the bag anymore. 

Ready with his suit to get wet

Koko has a lot of fun with the water activities on the beach. He didn't even bother to look for me or hubby. Didi is still the reserved person, very careful on each of the new things that he explored. 

12 March 2012..

Hornbill watching in the morning near to the beach area. The birds are only here in the morning. It can just stood there and can look like a fake one, with a huge black eye. Each of them looks the same, same colour and size. Koko commented that the nose is so big and keep on showing it by pulling his nose. 

Killing the worm by scratching on the tree branch. 

Continue to scratch before the worm is been eaten.

There are so many of them.

The 2 little curious boys looking at the worm which was dropped by the hornbill.

As usual, Didi was with me all the time. 

Koko has reached the next stage

Now, Koko can ask about details and give you reasoning of his action.

On one of the night, before going to bed, Koko surprises me again with his reasoning,

Koko: Mummy cannot sleep with Daddy.

Mummy: Why? 

Koko: We'll cry later.

Mummy: Who?

Koko: Didi and ZZ. Mummy sleeps with ZZ, ok?

Another special thing about Koko. He will know what Didi wants.
'Didi want to drink water.' 'Didi said he doesn't want to eat'. 'Didi said want to watch TV.'
Koko can speak on behalf of Didi. 

Koko is smart on recognizing the road to places that we went. One of the day, he wanted to eat chicken rice + egg (his most favorite food)  for dinner. We were heading to BM town that moment. He kept on insisting there was no chicken rice there and kept on crying in the car. Chicken rice is at KM town and he knew we were heading to the different direction. He only settled down when I told him to get his 'lak lak' (spicy) rice instead of chicken rice.

The questions of  'what' and 'where' always pop up from Koko.
"what are you doing?", 'where did you go?'
When he is watching the TV, there are a lot of question from him. 'where is avatar?' 'where is the robot?' 'where is the frog?' For Didi is simple 'avatar le?' 'frog le?'
Whatever Koko asked, will be repeated again if heard by Didi.

Balik kampung..North to South...

CNY CNY..yahoo... holiday time...

We were in plan to start the drive by 6am on Fri. Avoid jam and sun. From North to South Malaysia. That's how far is it the journey going to be. Expecting to bring both of the boys to the car to continue their sleep. Surprisingly, Didi woke up at 530am. Koko was excited too. He has been mentioning wanted to go to Yeye's house since last week.

Both were ready by 6am. 

As usual, Hubby is planning to has breaskfast in Ipoh. By 8am, we have reached the restaurant. Luckily, we can get the seat easily. 

                            

We have a very heavy breakfast.

Koko was just testing the taste. He has been quite selective on his food now.

 Didi was really enjoying his food.

Didi has been sick since early of the week. Diarrhea and fever. Today, he is better. Happy to see that he can enjoy his meal now. I didn't manage to capture the food I love the best here. 'Hei Chi Ma Hu'. Love it so much. You can see the remaining on Didi's plate. 

The bill came out to be quite a lot. 

We continue the journey at  ~9am. Koko has been kept on asking when are we going to arrive. I told him  'Sleep, wake up, sleep wake up, sleep wake up for 3 times, then we'll arrive'. 'Har?' Koko still didn't understand how far that is going to be. Koko managed to catch some sleep after playing 'lion and mouse' with Didi for several times. However, for Didi, he just couldn't fall asleep. Looks at his tired eyes. 

Having fun in the car.

Didi was very tired. 

I think probably Didi fell asleep of 15-20min only. We reached Muar at 1.30pm. Luckily there was no jam along the way. Some rain which was good. 

After the lunch and some play with TaKu and Nai Nai, Didi slept till 7pm while Koko still has full energy to play with TaKu. Tired long journey...
