December Beach Babes

Appa took us on a special holiday this year to commemorate Eshvarhen turning 5!

We took a flight to Krabi (Bagyashri's first experience on the plane ever!) and we had a blast under the sun for 4 whole days.

The funniest moments? Eshvarhen dancing coz he thought the crabs were going to bite him while we waited for the boat to take us island hopping.

Coolest moment? The Elephant Ride=)

Sakkti Velan is now 5!

Dear Bumi Matha,

I'm five years old today, and we're not in Malaysia. I asked Thambi to write to Bagyashri and tell her we are in Singapore and not to look for us , and I sure hope he did that.

We went to the underwater world today at Sentosa Island, and we saw pink dolphins, sharks and seals. The seal was dancing about 1m away from my leg.

We also went to the Gardens by the Bay where we ate a hearty nasi goreng.

In the evening, we cut a cake by the poolside.

Zzzz.....a bit sleepy now.....but it was a glorious birthday.......thank you Appa....thank you Amma

can't wait for the plane ride home tomorrow.....that was awesome too......

To Cameron Highlands & the Lost World of Tambun

Dear Small Tiger,

I know you love animals, son, because you’re forever watching Animal Planet on television. You make me proud when you list all the animal names you know, I know you’re definitely mine…..=)
But why did you cry today when the birds sat on your hand? All they wanted to do was eat the grains off you hands. Anyway, I’m glad you tried, and I know the next time you come, you’ll be bigger and braver.

You swim like a fish in the pool at home, but I don’t understand why you freak out when you come to a public pool. Is it the people there who scare you, son? Anyway, again, I’m sure you’ll grow out of it. So we’ll come again, don’t you worry.

I won't even ask if you enjoyed the carousel, I know you did.

Good night, son. We’ll definitely make more trips to see more animals.

Hugs always,
Big Lion

I rode a pony

Dear Thambi,

On the 1st of May in the year 2010, I rode a pony. And I did not even need to hold Appa’s hand. It’s quite cool once you get the hand of it, the pony just bounces you left and ride so you also bounce left, right, left, right, left, right…….hmmm

And then I fed the monkeys, it ate right out of my hands. I hope they don’t get sick on the Twisties…….

You can ride the pony and feed the monkeys when you grow bigger. you're too small now.

You know I love you,
Annai

Bukit Merah -Christmas 2009

Our family holiday at Bukit Merah---- I had a BLAST!

But Appa told me I was really afraid of the pool.....Appa, you know i HATE it when water is poured on my head, and the pool was FULL of overhead showers.........

Nature Lover

These here are pictures of me, Amma and Appa during our visit to the Malacca A Famosa Resort.

Beach Bum Baby

Today, on Christmas day of 2008, Amma and Appa took me on my first swimming experience. I am exactly 1 year 5 months old, and here I stand in my very funky swimming attire. That's a

starship I'm swimming in...

I totally enjoyed myself, and although I wanted to hold on to Appa and Mama almost permanently, I did not cry. I was shaking out of cold most of the time though……

Amma said I was really a big boy. **blush**

Then Amma and Appa took me to the seaside, where I played with the sand and the seawater.

Finally, we went on a boat ride…..and boy, was I frightened at first! But after a while, I began enjoying the ride, and Appa thought me how to blow the whistle.

That’s us in the picture, enjoying ourselves.

WHAT an adventure in the sun!

Baby's day out at the Zoo

HAPPY NEW YEAR, Bumi Matha.


Today we went to the Zoo with Ammama, Tata, Nithi Mama and Vani Aunty.

I think Appa was very excited to see the animals. But I enjoyed the fresh air, though I did sleep a lot.

My trip to Genting Highlands....

The Ferris Wheel took me and Appa so high up…..and then it stopped there for a while. Appa kept telling me to look but I’m not sure what I was supposed to look at.

I was cold.

Amma wrapped in in layers of clothes, but I was till cold. And I was sleepy. Where’s my rocker with its beautiful Looney Tunes tune?

Why was I sleeping the WHOLE day in my stroller?

Appa says I’m a big boy because I’ve visited Genting Highlands.

I look at Appa in the face and tell him, I need to sleep, Appa. Can we go home soon?
