From Dumai to Jakarta

We went for a short holiday to Indonesia recently and here are our travel notes.

May 27, 2008 - Shah Alam to Dumai

We left Shah Alam at about 6:00 am and reached Melaka Port at about 8:30 am. We still chose Melaka as it is less crowded and the time on ferry would be only about 2 hours compared to 4 hours if we were to go from Port Klang to Dumai.

On the ferry, we managed to watch a funny Malay movie called Duyung that kept us awake throughout the whole trip so that we could watch over Pasha, who decided not sleep, at the same time.

May 28, 2008 - Dumai to Jakarta

We took an afternoon flight from Dumai to Jakarta. Pasha did not get a seat like the previous trip since Pelita Air has numbered seats unlike AirAsia. So, he had to sit on our laps for the 2 hours 45 minutes flight.

Here are photos of Pasha and Mama Diah on the plane. Pasha refused to be seated throughout the flight and he insisted to be let loose to walk along the aisle from front to the back of the Fokker 100. He would cry and scream if we were to stop him and to cool him down we took turn to accompany him from the front to the back of the plane while he greeted all the seated passengers.

May 29, 2008 - Jet Lag in Jakarta

Here is a photo of Pasha and Papa Bear having a jet lag... The next photo is Pasha playing with his Mickey Mouse puppet before leaving for Taman Safari in Bogor. That will be in the next update.

Open Air Bathing

April 2008

Here is a video pf Pasha taking a bath with his grandmother outside of the bathroom and in front of the house...

Open air bathing seems to be a good alternative to the regular indoor one and Pasha had a jolly good time!

Pasha Is Walking!

30/4/2008

Pasha took his very first steps that started with only one or two steps before his birthday on 17/4/2008 . He did not stop practicing despite lots of falls and some bruises on his knees and one fine day, we managed to catch a video of him taking 6 steps.


Today he can manage to walk quite a distance before falling and at times he would walk really fast. We think it would not be long before he starts running around the house.

A Gift for Turning 1

19/4/2007 - DEMC Shah Alam

Apart from a birthday cake, a card and presents from aunties and uncle, Pasha received another birthday present for turning one year old this year.

Here is a video of Pasha being injected. Look at his face. He knew that something not that nice was going to happen to him.

He cried for about 12 seconds and then continued playing with the big yellow truck courtesy of the doctor.

He did not even realize that there was something sticking on his arm...

An Evening Cruise

20/4/2008



Here is a video of Pasha cruising in his trusted walker or should we called it a runner now since he no longer uses that to walk but more to practice his running skills.

Have fun and see how he runs!

Happy 1st Birthday Pasha!

Happy Birthday Pasha!

Pasha is 1 year old on 17th April 2008.

Hari Kraf Kebangsaan 2008

On Saturday, 5th April 2008, we visited the Hari Kraf Kebangsaan 2008 (National Craft Day 2008) that was held at the Kompleks Kraf Kuala Lumpur.

Pasha and Papa Bear

Some of the stuffs on sale/displayed at the exhibition. Ceramic/Pottery stuffs, songkets, lanterns and many more!

Pasha and Mama. Pasha really enjoyed the crowd and all those colorful things on display and he even got his first ever balloon and he loved it. But unfortunately, few minutes later the balloon exploded and thanks to Papa Bear.

This was definitely a good outing for the whole family and there are lots of things that we saw there including some of those heritage stuffs that could hardly be found anywhere anymore. Pasha seemed to enjoy this event more than the the Aquaria and he even said "Hi!" to some people that he met there.

Trip to Aquaria KLCC

Here are photos taken during our trip to Aquaria on 15th March 2008.

There were lots of visitors on that day being a weekend and on a school holiday.

The right most picture above you can see Pasha trying to grab a turtle but we managed to stop him since those turtles can bite off his fingers...

The place was so pack with people and yet Pasha was already feeling sleepy. Could it be that he was not really interested in those animals or the lighting was putting him to the sleep mode...

And Pasha was more interested in looking at his own reflection on the aquarium rather than what's inside it...

Pasha and his reflection, Pasha found something interesting at last and Pasha doing his face with Mama...

Pasha tried to grab some more turtles in one of the aquariums and a pose for the camera!

Mama and Pasha in front of the huge vertical aquarium and the last photo showing Pasha trying to explore the place by himself.

Here are some fish and Pasha with Grandma, Yana (his cousin) and Papa.

Look at those huge sharks!

More of Mama and Pasha and a pretty big turtle swimming along...

Mama, Pasha and a diver on the way to feed those sea creatures.

Feeding time at the Aquaria and we got to see that up close.

We finally managed to get Pasha into his stroller since it was not easy carrying a 10+ kg baby on our arms through the Aquaria.

A few final shots before the exit.

The end.
