My Achievements!

Greetings Everyone! Firstly my apologies for not being able to write for such a long time. Daddy's got a new Job and although he works from home more these days, I've been keeping him busy with my tantrums and whinings.

What better way to make a comeback for the fact that I'm about to celebrate my 2nd Birthday the day after tomorrow! And to mark the special occasion, I've compiled a list of Firsts that has kept me preoccupied for the last 3 months. Here they are in no particular order ...

My first foreign visit. It was to Australia. Daddy was on a business trip so we all tagged along and flew to Melbourne and Sydney and dropped by Brisbane on our way back. It was a week long trip that was full of excitement.

My first flight experience was on the Malaysian Airlines Non-Stop 8 hours to Melbourne. The return flight was even longer as we had to stopover at Brisbane.

My first River cruise was along the Yarra River in Melbourne. It was a scenic journey and with a weather as good as it was in Melbourne, I really had a blast.

My first encounter with Penguins. We spent half a day in the Melbourne Aquarium and although they had all the exotic fish and other sea life, it was these little guys that melted my heart.

My first walk under a bridge. What makes this walk unique is that it was non other than the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The view of the Opera House from where I was standing was simply breath taking.

My first experience on a train. It was not any train, but a double decker. We caught one to visit my grand aunt while we were in Sydney.

My first view of a Kangaroo. We visited the Sydney Taronga Zoo and they were the main attraction. I've only seen them on TV and picture cards, but to actually look at them in flesh was very exciting.

Other facinating experiences that we had in Australia was The Rialto Tower, Tram & horse rides in Melbourne. The Opera House, The Rock and staying at the fancy Four Seasons Hotel in Sydney. The food and shopping was the icing to the cake.

My first Banana Leaf Meal. It was at an Indian Restaurant in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur. I settled for thosai although I would have really enjoyed a full fledge meal like everyone else.

Mt first graffiti. All I needed was a pen and a good start was body art. I'm still at the beginner level and recently moved on to a larger canvas ... The wall.

My first cinema experience. It was at the new GSC cineplex in Tropicana City Mall. We went for the Indian movie 'Ayan'.

It was an interesting experience to watch a movie on the big screen but to last for almost 3 hours in the same seat ... not really an easy task at this age. Lucky me for it was a matinee show so most of the seats were empty.

My first experience with Little Buddhas. This was during the last Wesak Day celebration. They had 3 kids, much older than me, dressed up like Buddha and seated for devotees to greet and take photos with. What really caught my attention was the headgear.
