Shao Wen : 9 Months








She is getting more adorable now. She can imitate your facial expression quite well. She still cannot walk but she can crawl faster and crawl up staircase smoothly. Eventhough she is learning to walk with the baby walker, she still cannot control her own direction. She will use it to more forward and backward and we do lock the wheels so that she will not move too far. She can make all sorts of sounds now (only she know the meaning) but still cannot speak a word. She still have only 3 teeth (2 below and 1 up). She loves to eat poridge

Shao Wen : 8 months











Shao Wen is 8 months now. She is learning how to speak. She can say i..i... ah.. ah... and two vocal sounds. She can speak baba...mama.sometimes.We let her sitting on the baby walker. She is enjoying sitting on her "BMW". She can walk freely, with horizontal direction like "crab", it seems that she do not know how to control her direction. This is a good way to train her now. Shao Wen is changing everyweek and She needs more attention nowadays and do not want to stay alone. The worst thing is that she wants her mom to accompany her every moment after fuiyee returning home. However, if her mom is not around and she will not behave the same way.

Cocoa Village in Tawau










The flight delay by Air Asia had given us some extra time to visit Cocoa Village in Tawau. The village covers over 1000 acres of cocoa tree and there are a few water falls in the valley too. We have the chance to visit the cocoa tree museum and gain some knowledge about cocoa processes. The rest house served cocoa juice, fried dumpling with banana and chocolate, and fried dumpling with shrimp and chocolate. The juice is a bit soury, yet taste good and appetising. We like the fried dumplings as well. After that, we proceed to the waterfall. We run out of time as everyone leave because they need to send us to the air port. Otherwise, we deffinitely stayed there for the whole afternoon. The cooling environment with tons of negative ions is great relaxation for us.

Pulau Mabul : Sipadan Water Village Resort











We had a short trip of 2 days 1 night in Pulau Mabul. The island is a diving paradise and it is quite near to the Sipadan Island. The crystal clear water reflect the under water coral and fish as an aquarium. The resort is build on the sea bed which is nearby the coastal beach. The environment is very nice and relaxing especially you lay on a lazy chair and facing on the sea and listening the sea wave with blowing wind on your body. The experience is remarkable. The only thing not up to standard is the food. The food in inclusive in the package with 2 lunchs, dinner and breakfast. We do have a wrong assumption that they will serve seafood in the meal. That is dissappointed. Anyway, the photos taken are very satisfactory and they are like postal cards.
