towoonsai: August 2008

Ah Yi came to visit

Hardly the chance to take family shot. But with Cynthia around, haha, its just perfect!

We usually have dinner at 530pm. So by the time we wash up and have fruits, the kids would be looking for food again. So, tonight, we decided to treat ourselves. Anna and Josh love popcorns and I have the pleasure of eating jackfruits chips, which I just bought from the chinese shop.

Btw, me at 33 weeks, not long more. Went to see the midwife at 33.4 weeks, baby has headed down, which explained the pains at the pelvis/vagina region.

Cottesloe Beach

We are just 10 min away from the beach now. Lovely day to be out with the kids. But super cold with the wind blowing. Can't imagine why there are still people swimming, surfing etc etc in the water.

New House, Great Outdoor

Upon reaching home at 45 South St, our dear neighbours were excited to greet us once again. They immediately informed us that the owner of our place want to sell the house. Oh boy, I didn't know what to make out of it. Anyway the agent came to meet us the very next day and told us the bad/good? news. We decided we will find another place asap, in case we have to move when baby comes. Afterall the owner was not empathetic of our situation.

So we moved, in less than 2 days we found a place, was our first choice in house-hunting and with the blessing and grace of God, we got the place. We quickly moved in within 3 days, cleaned up the old place and settled in the new place immediately.

So, during the first weekend of our new place, we decided to explore the surrounding. Found this place known as the World War II Historic site with 2 guns. It was quite an easy hike up the trail. Baby Josh was very entertained in the carrier.

Wild Wild Wet

The day before we left for Perth, we went to WWW. Anna had been talking about it many months b4 this trip, so it was a must do thing for her. I guess we kind of ended the holiday on a high note. Even Josh enjoyed the place, although apprehensive intially.

Hair cut & Downtown East latest attraction

Brought the kids to Downtown East children's gym. A newly open place I heard. Had to sign them up as member so as to get cheaper rates to enter. They had tons of fun!

Dim Sum

Went Dim Dum with families and we got to order this super huge 'Da Bao' for $4.60. It was shared among 6 adults with some taking second helping too!

Anna's 5th Birthday

In lieu of Anna's upcoming birthday, she has decided to have a pet 'balloon cat' as one of her birthday present from us. Btw, we celebrated her birthday at the beach with BBQ and all. No pics unfortunately, left the CD in Singapore. Its amazing how much she has grown. . .

Cycling @ ECP

We spent the morning with the Tays cycling at the beach. Had loads of fun and the activity ended with a very fulfilling lunch at Carls Jr. The kids love the burgers and chips!

We are the McDonald Kids!!!

Trip back to Singapore

We flew back the very next day after the Tays left.

Last day with the Tays

BBQ - Can't do without

End of our Down South Trip

Due to bad weather forecast in the next couple of days, we decided to cut short the trip and return to Perth. Clem and Jean continued their journey towards Albany.

Waterfall just stone-throw from our Cottage

Augusta

Its was raining and very windy the day we went to Augusta. We had wanted to catch the whales but with such weather, we had to cancel it. The wind was so stong that the sand was getting into our eyes. Though we saw some sting-rays swimming along the beach.
