We are meeting my brother & sister at 7.30am at the bus terminal. I could barely open my eyes at 6.45am. Was just going through the motions etc. Celest seems to know that we are going on a trip & woke up early. Throughout the journey to the checkpoint in the coach, Celest was as usual climbing all over the place, playing peek-a-boo with her Jiu Jiu & Yi Yi,etc. Really can't imagine bringing her go for holiday to Genting by coach! Lucky, there wasn't any jam & we cleared the immigration checks smoothly. Managed to get a taxi who agreed to charge us at RM 30. Some were asking for 35/40 etc. Haiz. What a shame to the country. Sian, have to go through haggling again when we go back for CNY.
We reached my grandma's house around 9am. Celest's Yi Po was outside at the gate throwing rubbish. She was as usual abit cranky due to the unfamiliar surroundings. I told them to give her 30mins & she will be running around on her own. Aunt brought us to eat 'Gan Lao Mian' for breakfast while she helped us to look after Celest. She brought Celest to watch dogs, cats etc & this was how i can have my breakfast in peace. We later went on to my uncle house so that i could let Celest nap before going over to my cousin's new house. They were moving into their new house today. My 'Li Kim' cooked some porridge for us & that will be Celest's lunch. She seems ok with the porridge as i scared she may not like it as there were ginger shreds inside. She went around disturbing & making people smile. Haha. Got once, my uncle & a boy was playing chess. She walked to the boy side & patted him on his back like encouraging him. My cousin was having fun looking after her as she loves kids very much. She worked in a kindergarden before during her school holidays. After lunch, we went to the new house.
The new house was very big & 2 storey high. There were a lot of guests there & Celest was afraid to go into the house. Kept wanting me to carry her around. Took quite a long time for her to get used & also after she found something to play. Guess what. There was a slope at the gate & she was there running up & down the slope happily. The person who was looking after her was panting. Haha. We were afraid she would fall down as the floor's hard & it's granite. She threw a tantrum when we carried her away into the house while i asked the gate to be closed. Each time, we let her down, she will ran towards the gate again. I brought her to a playground nearby but didn't let her play as it's not really for her age group & scare she will hurt herself. Not to mention, there were mossies around! Inside the house was also a disaster. She saw a baby girl climbing the stairs & began to follow her. *Faint* This time round, she used her 2 hands & legs to climb up instead of 'walking ' up the stairs using the railings. Got once, my sister took over & Celest decided to be naughty then. My sister wasn't closed enough to her when she decided to do a stunt while on her way down. Celest jumped off the stairs instead of going down the steps 1 by 1. My sister said she wasn't prepared for this. Luckily, it was a few steps to the landing & she didn't suffered much bruise. What a scare i got when i heard her cry in the living room.
My cousin's wife got an old piano which was placed in the living room. Some kids were playing with it & attracted Celest. Soon, she sat on the chair & was there mimicking playing. So scared that she will spoil it & i wouldn't know what to tell the wife. Also had a hard time tearing her away from it until i had the keys all kept & covered up, then she accepted the fact that we kept it already. We went to the new TJ Mart near my grandma's place for coffee. Met up with grandma & uncle there. Took a short stroll & also to make Celest nap before we go back to the house. I was on the lookout for some shoes for Celest, especially those that gave off 'beep beep' sound when walked on. As my mum said that she heard on radio from a specialist that it helps to 'cure' kids who were walking tip toe. Lately, Celest liked to walk tip toe, maybe it was due to her short height when she wanted to reach for something high, it seems to become a habit from then. My mum blamed me for using walker on her when she was learning to walk. Haiz.
We went back for dinner. I failed to get my uncles etc to start a game of mahjong. :( Most guests left the place by nightfall. Hubby & brother was engrossed in their game of ping pong. Started to prepare Celest for bed & bathing etc. She fell asleep soon after drinking her milk. Celest has a good sleep throught the night, but not for us though. Haha. We were freezing as it grew very cold in the night & i kept waking up to turn down the fan speed from 4 to 3 to 2 to 1. Even hubby who's not afraid of cold also said so. Anyway, downstairs was already bustling with activities as my cousin kids were preparing to go to childcare & aunt/uncle going to open their shop. Celest spent the morning climbing stairs, running around the house, watching my uncle doing the fishpond etc. Then i put her to her nap again, with both of us sleeping of course.
My mum was already here when we woke up & everyone had their lunch already except us. It was 2pm+ only. The day just passed quickly while i helped out in the kitchen. We stayed for the night again as my cousin promised that he will fetch us to the taxi terminal & for breakfast. But who knows! We waited for him from 8am till 9.30am till i managed to get him on his gf's hp. Some of my aunts & cousin will be leaving with us & coming to our house to stay.
