Month: September 2008

For aunty Tammy’s sake I had to dig out a few pictures to post on my blog so she can have a look-see at her two nieces.  Here are some pictures of Nyx performing her “floating-in-mid-air” act. And Nya doing what she does best….. acting cute. haha.

One of the things we did today to pass the time away while being stuck at home was going through the ol’ photo album. Halfway while Nyx and I were going through the pictures Nya threw up on me, eeeeeeeeeew……………. By the way Michelle, Nyx doesn’t call you auntie Mit tell or a seashell anymore!

Wishing you happiness always!



Giving a birthday kiss

Can’t celebrate together on the actual day =( so here’s a video of Nyx singing a birthday song for her godpa.

Being stuck at home ain’t fun at all.  Guojun’s on mc today and tomorrow, but we try not to get too upset about not being able to go out to sight see and explore. So for now, staying at home means watching shows together…… cleaning, reading storybooks together…. cleaning, playing and singing together, cleaning and taking some pictures, and cleaning. Hahaha….. yes, I don’t think I’ve ever done so much cleaning before in such a short time. My mama would be so proud. kekeke.

Here’s a video of Nyx asking Guojun what he wants while I was doing the laundry.

Today Nya turns 5 months old! She went for her monthly checkup this morning and had 2 injections, one on each butt cheek, ouch ouch! She now measures at 65cm long and weighs 8kg, holey moley…….
Here are some pictures we took of her today after the checkup.

One of the many wine shops


Guojun took a picture of this vineyard on our way back home


Once again, since we’re not allowed to take any pictures even without the flash,
I had to get this image from another website to show you the underground pottery museum


The exterior of the monolithic church. The interior is absolutely stunning and ancient

Nyx was actually shouting and blabbering to the owner of this ice cream shop



The monolithic church


An extremely old part of the town, its very well preserved


The crazy winding steep slope down to the town square


Loitering along the cobblestone streets in the small town




The wine celler, one of the very very old ones


Photography isn’t allowed in the underground hermitage and galleries
so this is a picture of the hermitage we saw but I got this image from a website




Waiting for mommy to get the tickets to the guided tour


Me standing at this spot taking yet another picture for the 10th time??????






I’ve lost count how many times I’ve toured this medieval city and its gorgeous vineyards.  But today really was something different as we discovered
something, or rather someplace that we’ve never set our sights on such as the hermitage, the catacombs, the monolithic church and the underground galleries. 
We took the guided tour organized by the tourism office but it was all in French! Heng……. 
they provided us with brochures in English and I still managed to catch most of what the tour
guide was blabbering about.
 This weekend happens to be the time when Europe celebrates Heritage day so there are 
festivals and celebrations with firework displays and concerts galore.

On Wednesday morning we had a trial class for the kids over at my place, here are some of the phots Jasmine took while the class went on.

Nyx absolutely adores her meimei, butI still cannot leave the two of them alone to play on the bed or anywhere for that matter cos sometimes Nyx tends to treat Nya like a soft toy.  Just by looking at the picture of the two of them playing on the activity mat you’d think I was the one who positioned them as such. Unfortunately, it was Nyx who went to push Nya to one side of the mat and then ask me to take a picture for the both of them.  Pengz….
Nowadays she tries to get attention by behaving like Nya, like sitting in the UFO Shirley bought for her last year.

Also here’s a video of her in Hyperactive mode at 11 plus at night.  This is not really her most hyperactive behaviour yet…….

Thank you Jasmine and Jason for hosting the gathering and providing the kids with the beautiful lanterns.  The food was great and so was the company.  We even set off fireworks in their backyard!  

Now when we visit the petting zoo Nyx seems to be a whole lot more daring when it comes to touching the animals and interacting with them.  
Sometimes when she sees the animals she’s familiar with she’ll start to sing the Old Macdonald song.  
The weather is starting to get a little chilly now so we’re trying to make the most of our season pass before it expires, which also explains why we’re here AGAIN. Hahaha.
