5th Birthday in Malaysia

Liem had a wonderful 5th birthday party at my parents' house. There was a deliciously rich chocolate cake, loads of food, friends, family, presents....ahhh...just what a birthday party should have...

Driving a car

This was at Tropicana City Mall...Liem loves driving the little car. Is it just me, or does he look a tad too big for the play equipment?

Malacca

We went to Malacca as tourists for a few days. Went on the river cruise, inside a replica of a Portugese ship, climbed St Paul's hill (while Ah Por sat and waited for us at Stadhuys, forever known to Liem as "the house where Ah Por sat"), checked out the remains of the A'Formosa, had loads of lovely food including mee suah, Hainanese chicken rice balls and nyonya food. It was also Liem's first time staying at a hotel and he loved it...buffet breakfast where people were bringing him glasses of juice and yummy food, swimming pool....and of course the best part was jumping from bed to bed in the hotel room!

Theme park in Genting Highlands

Ah Kong took us to the theme park at Genting Highlands. We took a cable car from Gohtong Jaya to Genting, then headed for the theme parks. Liem had the best time at the Indoor theme park, having rides with Daddy but the best part was the BUMPER CARS! Liem LOVED the bumper cars. He had to get help at first from the attendant to put his foot on the pedal to make the car move, then he went in circles until he learnt how to steer properly. He must have gone for 4 or 5 rides. Once he finished one lot, he just race back to the start and went in again. Luckily there wasn't a big crowd there at the time.

Liem in Malaysia 2010

It was so nice to have a holiday. A real one. Liem has become quite a good traveller now. And he loved having his cousins and new friends to play with.

Toys with hats?

I'm not sure what's going on here....Liem has put "hats" on all his soft toys.
