We just thank God for daddy's lve and we had planned for a Melaka getaway trip also to celebrate our 4th anniversary as well as do countdown together....hhmm it was daddy's idea to lve on 31st Dec so we won't get caught with the jam going into Msia...and we set off at 6am+ (while Ian's still in dreamland) so he could continue his sleep in his car-seat! He did really well and got up in time for our breakfast along the highway =) guess he was surprised he was going for hols in his sleep land hahaa....did tell him the nite before but he still wanna go Australia and not holiday hahaa...this spoilt boy anw glad we made it for this trip coz when we were away daddy had a big held up at his work so if we were to lve on 1 Jan we might not have made it for the trip so we thank God for the possible trip and also a safe and happy trip there! It was a totally uninterrupted family trip (except for the many calls daddy had to make on 1 Jan am)

Here we are at the Hotel Puri...a real cool boutique hotel and this time we got a bigger room (been here twice) and Ian had so much space to run ard and the best part was it was a BIG thing to do countdown for the new yr in this small town and they had lion dance, fire crackers and even fireworks (which we could have viewed from our room's window) guess we shld be back for more countdowns in future hiak hiak!

Here's Ian in the cool room away from the heat which we had to walk along the jonker but it was nice rather than the rainy weather so we had gd 3 days there and started raining on the last day we came back!

Ian's only story book hahaaa....he took this door notice as his story book so what he did was asking mama and daddy to tuck into the bed together with our legs and he will start reading the book to us...but the story is always abt Jesus Christ story booko and something abt jie2 and blah2.....we had so much fun in the room coz Ian was busily running ard and making 'calls' to daddy (while daddy went to park car and get food) and he had freedom to open the fridge and all

And here's the Cendol we came for ahahaa...think we tried 4 diff stores and there is still a fav store which is always so long queue even for their noodles!

Here we are at the 88 Jonker dessert store which they were almost closing and we made it to have the last 3 bowls of noodles hahaa....see how we got the thumbs up for the yummy and cheap noodles....just loved the asam laksa and Ian's fishball noodles is as cheap and good hehe

The next day we learnt our lesson so sent daddy to buy back the noodles and we could enjoy it in the air con hotel room hahaa....and we even got the cendol coz the previous day it was sold out....can't imagine pple will queue under the hot sun....but we tried the curry chicken noodles and Ian had prawn fishball noodles!

This was our fav shopping Jonker walk hahahaa guess we were there almost by day and by nite and nite was happening with more vendors and it was open specially on 31st Dec nite coz usually its only open on wkends....so we had a gd time along the walk it was kindof Spore flashback many yrs ago coz they had real antique stuff like 'Happy Family' and 'Donkey' games so mama bought so much stuff back and there was Crocs sales hahaaa so it was grabby time!

Nite time was alot better coz it was cooler and walking along just to buy snacks was a cool thing....guess it is better now that ian's bigger and he could walk abit and also eat ALOT! hahaa so we had snacking along the way and shopping as well.....

we had a dinner along the Jonker walk and we are just so glad Ian's ok with the food and he was in fact tucking into every food and finding which he likes most and here's Ian with wanton noodles hahaa and we had fried oyster, fried kway teow, sweet potato soup and this ABC dessert soup....it was nice with the karaoke stage singing all the old songs....hhmm therapeutic?? haha

And every nite we dabao supper back coz it was just a stone throw away from our hotel and here's Ian with his dim sum hhmm we made sure all the food we took was hot so its not too dangerous for the little tummy and Ian was eating alot of the dim sum and BIG PAUS!!!

The 2 nites were crazy time together in the room enjoying our food hahaaa guess 1 of the things we dun do back home and will take all kinds of pics on the bed....no food allowed in room back home hehee...here we are taking the pau and making cheers for the new yr as we were in the final hrs before entering the new yr and of coz it was into dreamland time!

Heading back was easy after shopping and lunch but Ian still din wanna sleep so he was playing with the GPS while we were on the road and soon he dozed off and had his beauty sleep....guess it was gd drive back with alot of rain and 2 hrs drive was gd for Ian to just sleep and rejuvenate!

we did hit the Tesco getting stuff before coming home and got Ian's 1st bike...he has to learn paddling before we could get a real bike! Just a great trip and so glad Ian's now bigger and easier to travel esp in terms of sleep and food.....as we usher into the new yr, here's the Iong family wishing best of health and more blessings to come along the yr!
