Family Fun

Feeling pretty down these days. Even teh tarik and cakes cannot cheer me up. Suddenly, came across my own blog on the internet and saw that my last entry was Nov 2014. Maybe it is time to start blogging again to take my mind off nasty thoughts...

I thought of what to write and started to collect snapshots of fun times we have with Megan for the past few months. It brought a great smile to my face because they reminded me that we have done a lot as a family.

Megan was obsessed with making donuts at one point in time. I bought a set of this to play with her. This is not a 4 yr old activity. So hard!!! Btw this is not edible ok...

Recently bought a real donut baking tray, icing sugar and instant cake mix. It was such a fun activity and the donuts taste not bad! Megan was totally exhilarated the whole day with everyone's overwhelming response. This has to be one of her happiest day!

Took the baking fever to the next level with mini pizza! Now this is delicious...

Baking color dough for raised art. Mix food dye with flour, paint and shove the masterpiece into the oven for the pop up effect!

Talking about food dye, might as well demonstrate a simple science experiment at the same time. 

Kenneth bought a remote control robot from China and shooting arrows from the robot to my butt became her fravorite prank for some time. 

Kenneth got real savvy with our NLB activities...

I am better at creating games to play with Megan wherever she is... Here we are in the hospital and in need of a board game.

A brilliant idea to draw an activity book with snakes and ladders so we wont get bored in flights. 

Mini golf makes Megan wayyyy too happy. Cant believe it...

The Piggies went to Taiwan

One day, Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig brought JieJie and Didi Pig to Taiwan. 

JieJie Pig said "let's stay in a house made of wood so it would not be blown away by the Big Bad Wolf". 

So they checked into a house made of wood. For additional protection, Didi and JieJie stayed upstairs, Mummy and Daddy Pig held the fort downstairs. They were safe. 

Daddy Pig said "get outside and seek your fortunes". So the piggies roam the streets of the big big world. 

They join long Qs to nowhere. "Maybe I can join the Navy", Didi Pig wonders. 

Soon enough, the little pigs got hungry. And eat, they can. 

Nothing can make Didi Pig concentrate as much as Xiao Long Bao. Jie Jie Pig had never eaten taro balls and suddenly it became her all time craving. 

Everywhere they went, they took the trains. 

The Big Bad Wolf did not follow the Piggie family to Taiwan. So they made a bold move to check into a house with glass walls. watch the night stars. JieJie Pig can star gaze at night and Didi Pig felt safe enough to head out to catch butterflies all morning. 

Life in the glass house was good. Bathroom was even heated. Perfect for the little piggies soaking in the tub! The only thing lacking was a hot pot for the piggies to eat shabushabu in the winter cold. That would be nice. 

They explored the mountains in the day...

... in the evenings...

... and into the nights...

They got lost in the mazes and roam the beaches. 

Sand, caves and pavilions...

Let the cold ocean wind blow. But the smell of sulphur in the hot spring water the piggies soaked in the morning lingered in their hair and clothes. 

Instead of working hard, the piglets wasted their afternoons playing games...

Even Mummy Pig joined in. Daddy Pig was shocked!

When minutes turned into hours at the Pachinko machines (with Didi Pig non stop winning), the rest of the family knew they had to make some serious decisions and move on. City life had corrupted the little one.

Life was simpler in the suburbs. JieJie Pig became a Master Bubble Maker and her non stop flexing inspired Didi Pig to go bigger and further. 

Wet farm lands and obstacle courses exhausted the piglets' energies. 

After 9 days of fun and exploration in Taiwan, the Piggie family was ready to head back home to their pig sly and live happily ever after...
