sydney-off to the snow mountains

We took a coach to travel from Sydney to smiggen holes and thredbo in Canberra. The journey was about 5 hours with a toilet break in between. Leanne was great. She slept through most of the journey. Ben and joyce were great too! They sat next to her and entertained her while she was awake.

group photo with the john, our driver. it was his birthday that day.

Leanne:  it's freezing cold!

 

sydney part 1

It was rainy and miserable the weekend we arrived at Sydney but it still didn’t dampen our spirit to visit surrey hills and the contemporary arts museum at the rocks. At leanne’s request, we bought a kaleidoscope for her at the shop. She put it to her eye and started saying “ shiver me timbers!”. i didn’t even know this phase :P She said she learnt it from peppa pig.



 we drove most of the time and Leanne got to catch up on her sleep during the rides...
 
We also went to the Sydney fish market on Sunday morning and had lots of seafood. It was hard to get a parking lot and even harder trying to get seats. So no pics as we were busy tucking in to our seafood platter, lobster noodles, fresh oysters, sashimi and abalone sashimi!

sydney, here we come!

our sdyney trip - 27 June - 11 July 2013


Our flight departure was at 7am which meant that we got to reach the airport at 5am and now that we are staying at the other end of Singapore, we got to wake up at 3.45am to pack the remaining stuff and get onto the cab by 4.30am. We also had a last minute maniac visa application an hour before midnight when we realized that we needed one after we couldn't do our internet flight check-in.

I must say Leanne thoroughly enjoyed the inflight experience J

mother's day

leanne made this card in school for mother's day and said she chose lots of hearts for me. the cards have got more intricate with each growing year.
i hope i will continue to get a mother's day card every year.
Thank you darling, you are the best mother's day present i could ever have.
 

one of the rare moments when leanne willingly pose infront of the camera...
she has begun the teenage habbit of hidding from cameras.

leanne's favourite activities
