We started off the day by having a Deluxe Big Breakfast to share.. Irisa had Pancakes, I had the hashbrown, some sausages + omelette and 1 bread, the rest to be finished off by Daddy.. And off we go....

Her entertainment on the way.. And of cos, the visible drawings is by Mummy.. And scibbles by Irisa.... Had a hard time....Only happy time was when she fall asleep...

First stop - Pargoh... Nice place with nice Chix Redang Nasi Lemak.. Irisa shared my chix rice, Yummy too & a piece of cake from Prima Deli that we bought before setting off... And she says 'Good'...

With that stop & toilet break, we start the journey again... This time she tried to read and do some 'pretence drawing'...

Her bag of entertainment.... And her fav too, Xiao Man Tou..

Finally, we reached Ipoh... First stop, mummy fav's.. Fried Kway Teow.. The usual store closed for the day aldy.. Nevertheless, this taste yummy too.. With Daddy insisting that the original one taste much better....

March 29 2010 (Monday)

We went to haf the Dim Sum before going back home.. Yummy man.. Can fight with Carlton but then cheaper though... 2 pax and we only spend like $20 bucks....
Siew Mai, Har Gow, Meatball Porridge, Spare Ribs, Special XXL Fishball, Deep-fried Beancurd Skin with prawns, Chee Cheong Fun, Steamed Carrot Cake...

End of the trip and we had a fruitful trip.... Loved the time spent with my in-laws... Lesson to learn when travelling with a toddler who cant sit still.... But best part is we enjoy the company we get...

First Family Trip

March 12 - 17 2010

Our first trip to overseas together, with our dearest princess.... Miss those times there though it was really tiring.. Heartpain to see her go thru the cold with us on some days and also her gobbling on her milk breads or cereal whenever we are on the move during her meal times.. But so far, she proven me wrong, in showing that she can really travel.. She slept thru half the flight on the way to Taiwan.. But coming back home, i guess she was tired thus she was a bit grouchy and wanted a lot of attention.. But nevertheless, it was fun with her on this trip.. And of cos, not forgetting my father & uncles & aunties as well as my cousin who tried to help with our backpack, jackets and also in carrying Irisa.. Many thanks...

This trip, Irisa learnt a lot of things...

Better in imitating skills, esp from 2nd Lao-yi laughter...
Better in walking on her own, despite her fall due to her arrogance walk with her hands at her back

Can pose better in pics, doing the 'CHEESE'

Can say 'shoes'

Can point to what she wan to buy, esp shoes and then she will start to take out her shoes
