June/July 2010

June 2010 was a short but relaxing month as YZ and me were back in Melb to spend time with papa/hubby =) YZ seems to enjoy herself more during this trip back as she wld alwaz look forward to evenings and weekends where she gets to spend more time with her papa. Though I was alwaz feeling tired from doing both hsework n office work, its still a joy seeing n spending time with hubby and baby. The feeling is juz so different with hubby around =)

July 2010 was a bzi mth....my aunt came for a visit in Melb abt a week before we came back Sing. We had great fun travelling around since our last tour of Melb was in Oct last year when my in-laws came for a visit. YZ seemed to have enjoyed herself alot during the outings though she was asleep during most of the drives. (p/s: we finally got the chance to ride the Puffing Billy train ^_^ ) Anyway, I got bzi once we arrived back in Sing - I do work and YZ 'create work' heehee =P YZ wld alwaz look for new things to play n do in the office, keeping everyone on their toes whenever she is not napping....haahaa =D Whenvever she hears the copier machine getting warm up to print documents, she wld get excited and run to the copier to wait for the doc to print and take the doc to whoever prints it....so cute ;)

YZ also got her left upper incisor erupted in the beginning of July and her left upper and lower molars somewhere in the middle of July....thats when she developed fever and caught a slight cold which took her about 2 weeks to recover =( Nonetheless, all is well now and she's been enjoying her teeth brushing sessions =D

I also went for my 20 weeks scan somewhere during the 3rd week of July....n guess wat--i'm expecting a gal again....yippy =) (p/s: sorry to disappoint hubby =S ) But anyway, can try again next time lah ;) This preg has so far been quite different from my prev....which is actually on the better side (hope it last...heehee) YZ seems to be quite acceptable to having a younger sibling....

Mama : Who is big sister?
YZ : Raise her hands high up proudly
Mama : Who is 'lao da?
YZ : Raise her hands high up proudly
Mama : Where is 'mei mei'?
YZ : Lift up Mama's clothes and kiss the tummy =D

East Melbourne Victoria

Finally all is settled at our new place....spent about 3 days shifting and unpacking all the things upstairs (p/s: shifting hse is nvr fun if u gotta do all the work)

We found a new place to rent on the 5th floor of the same building, and the apartment is exactly the same layout as the old one. We were lucky to get it in time to shift before our lease expires as the landlord sold the place and we got 60days to vacate.

The old place was on the 2nd floor with no view....the new one got quite a nice view...

Swim @ City Bath

The pool at our apartment was not that usable these days (got manifested with lotsa insects) so we decided to change our swimming venue for YZ.....off we went to City Bath (after much research).....the pool is indoor - meaning its insects-free....yeah ;) At first YZ was a little scared but after a little warm up....she is off on her own....relaxing in her float....

Yarra Valley / Morington Penisula

Finally.....I got time and energy to update the blog.....

We did some travelling on the last weekend of Oct09....had pancakes at Pancake Parlour then went to Yarra Valley for some winery tours and a short visit to YZ's Pop and Nana in Boronia on Sat. Then we headed to the Morington Penisula from Sun to Tue for some sceneries at Sorrento and spent the night at Bayplay's Cottage in Blairgowrie. Next day we headed to Arthur Seat for more sceneries and photos before heading to SunnyRidge Strawberry farm for some strawberry picking =) Before we end the day, we went to Ashcombe Maze and Gardens for some fun with the gnomes and fairies. Next, we went to pay a visit to Aunt Mel in Yarringa. Finally, we rested our feet at Quest Frankston (quite a gd place to stay....) Last day of the trip, we went to Keysborough for Dim Sum lunch with Aunt Melb, Uncle John, Aunt Serene and Uncle Alan before heading back to East Melb with all energy drained dry...heehee...

YueZuan in Melbourne, Australia

Here are some pics to share....been travelling to some nearby places for the past week....

YZ had her first tram ride on day 2, 19 Oct....looking abit excited yet blur blur....

Shift to Melbourne

We shifted to Melbourne, Australia on 17 Oct 09 via SQ 237. And Yuezuan had her first air plane ride. Had mixed of feelings for this shift as it was the first time I travelled with her and without the help of my mum or Siti. Though hubby and in-laws are around to help, still cant help but feel handicap without my usual aides (got pampered by them liao =P).

Anyway, hope this trip will be a pleasant one....looking forward to January 2010...
