Our First Snow~

7 Nov 2025: oee saw his first snow…

It's his first "snowing snow" snow!

& it was also our first "snowing snow" snow!
Had my first snowflake in my hair! LOL nice!

What a moment! & what a day it was for us!

4DX さいこう!

[劇場版「鬼滅の刃」無限城編] 4DX a.k.a.
[Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle – Part 1: Akaza Returns] 4DX~

えいが お もういちどう みました。。。

こんど は 4DX に みました。。。

さいこうでした!

たいへん 感動 しました!

すこしい ジェットコースター みたいですね。。。

素晴らしい! 素晴らしすぎる!

わたし の くに は 4DX えいがかん が ありません~

さらに 4DX 映画館があることも ぜんぜん しりません でした~

とにかく 間違いなくこれは最高の経験の一つです~

なんというか みたあとで しあわせ な かんじ が かんじる~

それは 幸福 です!

For Fish & Fireworks~

Yay to fun times at Vietnam's largest island:

Phú Quốc~

Yay yay!

Yay yay yay!

Even if it's just getting to eat the most heavenly-tasting spicy grilled fish for dinner together night after night…& getting to watch the most spectacular fireworks with the most EPIC feels ever…with family with love…on our last night no less…

This trip is worth it…our experience is complete…my heart is satisfied~


Quote of the Day: As fireworks light up the night sky, let our dreams illuminate the path we tread. -unknown

Legoland for 105cm~

At 107cm…the boy can take practically all the rides already!

So this time we managed to take all the rides!

All the dry ones that is~

So…it's time to introduce roller coasters to the kid right? Of course~

& now we have oee's first roller coaster ride photo…
taken on his 1st real roller coaster ride…

But looks like he really does not like roller coasters very much…lol~

The boy would prefer lego~

Only managed to watch just a few shows again this time…oh well~

Anyway…one year later…we're back at the same hotel~

Back at the same swimming pool at the same hotel~

With a few familiar & a few new food options around the hotel now~

Nice…every trip's a new experience!

Song of the Day: Come On - Energy
```Hey…Come On…Energy 在释放```

A Week In Okinawa~

The part of Japan with neither ramen nor chawanmushi…

But instead…with Okinawa soba…taco rice…& sea grapes…

It's Okinawa~

With new adventures for the kid~

幸せだね~

& he got to play at a beach again~

It's our Okinawa week for 5!

& so we conclude 9 flights in total this year…

No wait how many?! I can't believe it either…

Song of the Day: 唐船ドーイ - 沖縄 音のおみやげ 決定盤

The First Camp~

& it's at Shah Alam for the first time…

…for 5D4N~

& we got to play at i-City!
Where the kid had his first experience of fake snow…

…his first game of bowling…

(With balls so small & heavy…I failed to get even a single strike…)
…his first circut car ride…

…& his first ferris wheel ride…

Song of the Day: Empower Me - Jodie Teyna
```Empower me…like a rushing river flowing to the sea```

Australia 2024~

All ready on the day which happened to be the most important day to us in May…

It's 6 to go:
To Melbourne first~

To see the koala bears…& feed the kangaroos & wallabies~

To see the penguins too…cute little penguins…in the thousands…in the open…from afar…coming up from the waters at the beach…& even up close under little lamps…in the rain…in the dark…
& well the penguins we did not miss…

(But we just completely missed the Aurora Australis that was apparently clearly visible right on Phillip Island in Melbourne the following night…by ONE night!)
To ride on an old steam train…

Puffing Billy~

Because 4-year olds can sit on the sills already!
& to go on a road trip in a car~

& then to Uluru next~

We had supposedly 4 flights in total but we were on 5 in the end~
Well…as a visual illustration…check out our flight path for the 2nd!
(& an 9-hour delay amounted in total after…before our 3rd flight~)
Like what to do…Uluru is too ulu…
But it sure is beautiful~

Also known as Ayers Rock…

& listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site~

With one of the best sunrises in the world~

Truly sights worth a million dollars!
Of course we've got to see the iconic rock as well~

& even taking a last look on the plane out is rewarding~

Bringing his son to visit a desert (a beautiful one no less)…& watching at least a sunrise & a sunset at the beautiful desert…believe it or not that's actually daddy's main goal for the whole trip…which he has certainly successfully achieved! LOL yay!

Spent a day in Canberra~

& the last few days of our trip in Sydney~

With more maple leaves to play with~

& he got to watch a few cartoons new to him~

Of course we had to watch the fireworks at Darling Harbour~

While Melbourne…Ayers Rock (Uluru) & Canberra were new to us all…
It's almost unbelievable how mll & I were back in Sydney for the 3rd time…
But yeah…even if it's just for the food & the fireworks…it's worth it~

Finally ready to leave Australia after 11 days~

Averaging 15K steps taken each day for 10 consecutive days…

I have walked 4 years' worth of steps as far as I'm concerned~

& the 4-year old has done really well…covering the same distance as everyone…which should obviously have taken him more than double the steps of an adult?

& that is not even counting the additional distance he covered separately on his own…with all the jumping around…climbing around…plus all the bird-chasing…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

& yes we've truly had a great family vacation! Thank God!

We've made it! Achievement unlocked! We've leveled up!


Song of the Day: Home Among The Gum Trees - John Williams
```Give me a home among the gumtrees…
```With lots of plum trees…
```A sheep or two…a k-kangaroo…
```A clothesline out the back…
```Verandah out the front…
```And an old rocking chair```
