annabelle's first birthday

mr s took leanne to annabelle's birthday party while mrs s attended a wedding lunch of an old friend....

leanne enjoys going to birthday parties and she would always be one of the first to stand around the cake....i heard she had a large slice of the fabulous chocolate cake as mrs s wasn't there to control the quantity.

jumping right in to the pool to join the other children

having fun with isabel whom leanne would pretend to be on the phone with

amusing herself with the colourful ring float. leanne can now say the various basic colours in mandarin

in her cute little pooh towel smock from disneyland

hong kong 2011 sightseeing

star ferry to tsim sha tsui

first stop- disneyland

we are going to see mickey mouse...though i don't really know him but mommy is really excited

booth seats with mickey mouse windows on the mtr to disneyland

oh....i think i like them

look, i can pose like minnie and i think she's tired....and need to sleep
the queue for mickey and minnie was too long and we decided to take a pic with Donald instead. i was really excited at first but when it got to my turn, i changed my mind. this strange big creature is turning scary so i better stick to my safety blanket. but mommy...donald duck gave me a pat on my back.
street performance by woody and his friends. leanne knows them from watching toy story at home.
they are probably the only characters leanne knows beforehand.

leanne and daddy cheers
i love shades...

wow...i get to hold this big ice cream cone and eat it all by myself

having a break on the stroller rented from the park

mickey mouse insigna on the manhole

i wanted to sit on the carriages but they were all taken up so i had this pony ride but i think this is fun.

another one- the teacups where i could spin the wheel to go faster and faster whie mommy kept saying slow down, slow down...

getting all smitten by the magical disney shop

and a very tired leanne at the end of the day.

hard hat

leanne loves hats and shoes. here she is trying on mommy's hard hat

let me try

does this look good?

let's try again!

While lunching at the revamped 'table-service now' Kenny Rogers Roast, our darling dropped her spoon and promptly stood up on her seat and said, "Excuse me, we need a spoon."

No response from the barely post-teens milling about the cashier counter. Service it seemed extended only taking our order, giving you your order and then giving you a bill. Very transactional!

Then she piped up, "Excuse me, we need a spoon."

"EXCUSE ME, WE NEED A SPOON.."

And then they heard and brought us a replacement. Only Mr & Mrs S were beaming.

pool with daddy

leanne likes the pool and water play tremendously. she would enjoy every step, every paddle in the pool... and gets really excited when we say we're going swimming.

brunch with the baileys

leanne and tess

leanne loves the rocking pony

the view is pretty good up here

i'm coming down now


cheese!!!

lunch with the baileys at brussels sprouts at east coast parkway. it's a nice family brunch place with a great view of the sea and a little outdoor playarea for the little ones. children get to eat for free as well!

leanne was really excited about meeting tess again and was telling everyone she was going to meet tess. they didn't talk to each other when they met but i think leanne had fun hanging out with tess. leanne had been calling tess on the phone almost everyday telling her what she's been up to.
