My new friend Lisa

Lieve Papa,

Tomorrow (Friday) Mama is going for a long weekend trip with her good friends to Penang Island. She will leave me with Ah Gong and Ah Poh.

I wanted to tell you about Lisa. She is my new friend. I met her when Mama brought me to the seaside town Port Dickson to visit her very very good friend. It was a long long journey from Ipoh by train. When we arrived, I asked Mama: Are we still in Malaysia?

I loved playing with Lisa. In the morning she has to go to kindergarten, I missed her so much and waited and waited for her to be home. She is 10 months older than me but Mama said I look bigger than her. Mama said you met Lisa before when she was only a two months old baby.

Mama will show you more photos later.

Tot zien Melbourne

Lieve papa,

Mama was a bit lazy to update this blog recently, she was busy with her own blog and we just came back from a trip to Port Dickson. To end the Melbourne trip, Mama wanted to post two more photos...one from the ocean and the other one was the last photo I took. We were ready to leave the apartment and waiting for the taxi to the airport.

Tot zien Melbourne!

to say goodbye to the house

One warm morning, Mama brought me to the house where she lived before. She wanted to go there alone with me. We walked around. When Mama said this was her home before, I told Mama in Chinese 'but Nederland is also your home!'. :)




We walked from the train station.




This was the house where Mama lived before. We just looked at it from the outside and Mama said that was enough. She just wanted to say goodbye.

Ice cream...

I had ice cream almost everyday in Melbourne..lekker!

Mijn eerste vriend in Australie

Lieve Papa,

You can finally see the photos from Mama's camera. Do you know I have one friend in Melbourne now? Her name is Chloe, she is a few months older than me. She only speaks English so I showed off the English I learnt from Dora and Diego. She is the daughter of Mama's friend. Mama knew this friend since Mama was 17 years old. She just gave birth to two twin boy three months ago. I loved touching the baby. They cried very loud!

I cried when Mama said we have to leave. How I wish I could stay longer. She has so many toys!

Kolala...

Lieve Papa,

 Vandaag heb ik koala gezien! We rented a 8 Seat car and went outside Melbourne for à day trip. First we went to a winery, then to a wild life park to see Aussie animals. I was so excited.

Waar gaan we naar toe?

Papa,

Every morning I woke up, my first question for Mama is : where are we going today? Seems like everyday we have to go out. Sometimes I requested Mama to go home, when i was too tired to walk around i would prefer to play ipad or watch TV. The sun was so hot here.

Next few days we will rent a car, mama said she will bring me to see koala bear soon. Ok, more food photo from aunt lee.....this is from an Italian cafe, auntie Maggie and Mama used to come here for coffee or desserts when they were living here.

Custard bun

Lieve Papa,


Today we visited a friend of Gong Gong and had yum cha for lunch together. I was so happy I could eat my favorite custard bun again. It was so tasty and I ate three of them.




 

Year of Snake!

Lieve Papa,

Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. We went to the China town, there is big celebration today. I was so excited that I could see lion dance again. Mama decided to dress me up today like an aussie kid. Vind je mijn nieuwe broek met haaien mooi? Ik heb die zelf gekozen!

When we arrived there we still have to wait half an hour before the performance started. I was already tired standing for so long. I decided to sit on this VIP chairs...There were so many people and I could not see the lion dance unless I sat on the shoulder of Uncle Fu. He was not used to carry 20kg on his shoulder. Look how tired he was!

After lunch Mama brought me to a playground next to Federation square, it was so nice...

Papa I can now speak a few more English words, I can say 'thank you', 'what is that?',  'you are welcome', 'no please' and I know how to order 'apple juice' for myself too.

But Mama said the most common word they use here is ' No Worries'....

A lovely cafe for breakfast...there are too many nice cafe here, countless....






Flinders street station. The weather is above 30 degrees everyday....

Going out for dinner...

To the museum

Lieve papa,
Yesterday was a nice day for me, Mama took me to a indoor pool...it is so big and with wave too. I loved it there!

Last night we went to the beach for a walk after dinner, this beach is just 10 minutes by tram from where we live. It was a warm day and many people were there too. By the time we arrived the sun just set, the sky was so beautiful, mama will show you the photos later. All photos here are mostly taken by aunt lee with her smart phone.

Today the temperature is almost 38 degrees, super warm! We went to the Melbourne museum and there is a very nice section for children. look at the photos! I played there for almost 2 hours. There is also an exhibition about dinars our, ik ben niet meer bang! I like this museum a lot...there are many things to touch and play.....

I was so tired and I am taking a nap now.

Mama can only use this ipad without disturbance while I was sleeping...:)

Dag papa.

First day..sleepy but happy

my aussie journey begins...

Lieve Papa,

After 7 hours and 10 minutes flight, we landed in Melbourne at 8.40am local time. Mama tried to teach me the name of this city and the country, but I still have no idea what she talked about. Mama and I were exhausted after the flight, I didn't sleep much because I could watch Mickey Mouse clubhouse in the plane. My poor mama hardly slept and she became a monster when she was lack of sleep.
Anyway, this is where we stay, a service apartment on St Kilda road. When I saw the TV,as usual, the first thing I requested was to watch cartoon. :)

Ice cream

Lieve Papa,

Last night I displayed my warrior spirit again, after Japanese dinner they said we go to have dessert and eat ice cream, but it was green tea and black sesame ice made with soya, I am not even interested to try.

I kept on saying ' niet lekker!". I want my yellow or white or strawberry ice cream! I insisted and insisted and insisted....of course in the end I always get what I want, Gong Gong bought me chocolate chip ice cream later.

I was so happy. I sat there quietly enjoying every bit of it. Mama said I looked like as if I become one with the ice cream.

my japanese meal

Lieve Papa,

Today Gong Gong, Poh Poh and the rest arrived in KL, we went to a Japanese restaurant for dinner and this was what I ordered. Mama said it is a sort of bento box for children.

Although it said on the menu it is a Koala, but I insisted that this is a dog. I could not stop playing with this meal box as you can place them on top of each other. How amazing! Heel erg leuk hoor......
