Tanjung Harapan - Christmas 2010

Kids have a short time to check out the presents in the morning before we headed to Tanjung Harapan, Klang.

These are the presents for everyone in the family, including my doggies :)

Isaac LOVE this kitchen, the tool set meant for him is now Anna's property.

After getting the kids ready, we start our journey to Tanjung Harapan,Klang. It took us about 45 minutes with a super smooth traffic. We park our car next to the walkway, and have a pleasant walk around the area. Anna & Isaac were so attracted by this big ship, I have to study more about the ship structure and hopefully next time I can give them a better answer when they ask : Mom, what is this? What is that for? Why is so tall? Etc etc ...

There are many people fishing there, we were so lucky to able to see this man catch a sting ray. We saw how he cut the sting and how he took out the hook. A very good opportunity for Anna to learn something new :)

We brought a kite, but the place was too rocky, Anna was quit disappointed about this. After spending a good 30 minutes, we headed to the other side of Tanjung Harapan to look for Port Village Restaurant for lunch.
Once we were in the restaurant, we spotted this cute pink boat in the middle of the sea :)

When we looked down, we saw a lot of fishes crawling out from the sands, do you know what is these called?

We ordered Sweet and Sour crab(very fresh), Lala meehoon, Spinach soup(very yummy), Steam Prawn and Salted Egg"Hay Gor"

The following picture, all taken by Anna :)

Anna and Isaac knock off in the car instantly, too tire. Anna first time holding a champagne glass :)

We had a very good outing, is time to plan for the next one.

FRIM 14 Dec 2010

This is my first field trip with Anna, is a very good outing and both of us learnt so much from the nature, many thanks to Shannon who organised it :)

Roots look like an elephant

Amazing view, this is called Kapur tree, leaves can use to make "tiger palm"

beginning part she was a bit scared to go into the forest, she asked me a lot questions: What if we see a tiger, what if there is a witch live in the forest, What if a wolf come and catch me away,etc. Took me a while to comfort her, and I carry her at the beginning of the trail. Later on when she get warm up , she complete the trail by herself with very little help from me.

I am very proud of Anna, is her first time so close to the nature and the trail is not easy for a 3+ years kid. We definitely will make another trip to FRIM, to discover more things and have more fun :)
