Bali



First meal in Bali. Avocado drink is a must. Heavenly.



I'm salivating, thinking of every Bali buffet breakfast I had.



Kecak dance, a must see in Bali



My guide encouraged us to walk all the way to 'hut' at the edge of the cliff. But tak laratlah.



Beautiful sunset in Uluwatu



Going off Bali also kena suap RM50. Sigh..

My Baby was lost in Parkson



Last Sunday, my wife and I brought our 13-month-old baby to Parkson in The Spring. The moment we entered the ground floor, he itched to go down and wandered by himself. By the time I brought him to third floor, my wife was selecting pieces of fabric for our new place. When we reached a section selling mirrors, I did the dumbest thing a father could do. I let my baby out of my sight for 3 seconds. He was probably about 5 feet away. Apparently, he ran away to touch things on display. For that long long 2 minutes, I kept telling myself not to panic. When my wife saw my worried face, she knew that I had lost sight of our son. She was calling our son over and over again. I ran up and down every aisle. And thank God for mercy, I found my Darrien walked around with puzzled face "Where are Mommy and Daddy?"



Big lesson was learnt on that day. Never, ever... lost sight of our child. If we have to look away, even for a mere one second, we must hold on to a part of our precious baby.

God knows what will happen to both of us should our baby was not found that night..



Is it the right time to buy a child leash?

Brush teeth


My boy's teeth!

My baby has a total of 9 teeth. One molar in his lower back of the mouth and 2 sets of four teeth, each at the lower and upper front.

He has quite a few baby toothbrushes but I hardly use them. My baby just doesn't want to cooperate with the brushing process. Once in a while, I use a moist clean face towel to gently clean the inside of his mouth.

I read somewhere in the Net that we shouldn't leave a milk bottle for the baby to fend for himself while he sleeps. That worries me because I always do just that. I'll fall asleep before he finishes his milk. The milk was said to pool in his mouth and cause tooth decay.




What's your experience?

My Darrien's First Birthday



A much delayed post. My son's first birthday party. Lots of food. Hoards of fun. Great memories.


Sticks of fruit bites. Pancake love bites.


Steamed eggs with crabsticks.


Deliciously looking spaghetti with cherry tomatoes and fried rice.


Mini pizzas. Mini hot dogs.


Salad


Probably the best dish. Stuffed button mushroom. Yum yum..

Happy Birthday, Darrien!

Singapore Underwater World

I went to Singapore Underwater world two years ago with my wife. If I'd not mistaken, we paid around RM50 each for the admission into Dolphin Lagoon and Underwater World.



The number of people in Dolphin Lagoon was very large comprising mostly Indians. Surprising though.


The obligatory show starter.


How they train the dolphin to hit ball always intrigue me.


Next, the Underwater World. Spot the turtle among the fish.


Human-head fish. The place actually bored me. It lacked the wow factor


I wondered if it tasted nice should I steamed it.


Rock like fish with cancer under its stomach 8-(

Uninteresting..

Singapore Zoo

Before we went to Universal Studio, we visited Singapore Zoo the day earlier. The zoo is touted as among the best zoo in the world, if not the best.


Preparing for a great zoo trip ahead


Where's the animal?


We're watching animal show. Somehow my boy was more interested with the girls behind us.


Admiring 'wall of the jungle'


My son's face, similar to mine when I'm at work

My baby and I. Not enough pictures of the animals?
