My Happy Little Shopper

February 1, 2012 – 6:10 am

Last week we brought Tiger girl out shopping as she needed a new pair of shoes. I wanted to get her a pair of breathable shoes like Doggie boy. She needed a pair which can be easily worn and at the same time protect her feet well for our upcoming holiday. She loved the pair which we picked out for her and insisted on wearing it straight away. We placed her old shoes in the shoe box and she was more then happy to parade the new purchase we made for her. Like a shopping diva she wanted to carry the shopping bag holding her old shoes by herself. See how’s she’s grinning from cheek to cheek.

Fun in a Ball Monday Music Moves Me

January 30, 2012 – 1:24 pm

Last week while we were at the River HongBao Monkey boy took the opportunity to try out this Zorb ball ride. He has been wanting to try out this ride since we saw it once at a funfare. However at that time he wasn’t tall enough to try out the ride so we had to give it a miss. This time around he was of the right height to give it a try and there was no way he was going to miss out on having fun again. It’s really cool . They open up this big zipper on the ball and you enter it before it’s being filled up with oxygen and being zipped up. He didn’t even get wet even though the ball was set upon a shallow wading pond. It was quite hard for Monkey boy to maneuver the ball around the pool as it did need a lot of dexterity and effort just to move it. I would like a go in this contraption if I have the chance the next time.
