Jong's Crocodile Farm (Part I)

It was a nice cool Saturday morning and I decided to do a little bit of driving myself. Packed Sofia, maid and my in-laws into the car and headed for Jong's Crocodile Farm located 30km (17th mile) from Kuching. I am not very sure the exact location but everyone tells me "just head towards Serian" and you will not miss it. My father-in-law could navigate me up till 10th mile and from there on, we depended on road signs along the way. Not too bad, after a 30-mins leisure drive, we saw the signage and reached the place successfully! Actually, Daddy and I have heard of this place since we came to Kuching but never did felt the "need" to visit. See crocodiles for what?? But with Sofia, the visit becomes much more meaningful as we can show her the different type of animals and bring her outdoors to get some sun.

Baby crocodiles - apparently they have to separate the young ones from the older and bigger ones cos the adults might eat the young ones when hungry!

Looks fake? It is 100% real! But I wonder why he kept this mouth opened all the time, toothache?
More snapshots of the other animals we met ...

Overall, it was a pretty good experience for everyone since all of us were there for the first time. The crocodile feeding show was quite entertaining and the place is pretty clean and well kept. Maybe we should plan another visit when Daddy is back?

Chinese New Year (2nd Day)


We started visiting relatives and friends only today and the first stop was at Daddy's 3rd GuGu's house. Surprisingly Sofia was in a good mood and did not reject strangers much.
After lunch, we visited Jeffery, Helen, Celeste and Charlotte @ Village Grove (our old neighbours). The three girls had fun playing together and Sofia was delighted to have new playmates and toys of course.
Headed back home thereafter and Sofia, being over-dosed with fun the whole morning, knocked out even before we reached home.

My Ang Pao


This is the first "Ang Pao" Sofia received from her paternal grandparents on the eve of CNY. It kind of kept her entertained for a while as she tried to figure out how to open it.
Good idea! I should give her more empty red packets to play with when I need time-out!

Romantic Walk

Daddy came back today from KL to spend CNY in Kuching with us. It seemed so long since we were last together. Well, at least for the next few nights, my bed will not be so cold. Seriously, it did take me a few nights to get used to sleeping alone since 30 Dec.
The three of us went for our usual evening walk together and even ventured further into the neighbourhood. Every moment was so precious.
I am inclined to think that our conversation was sooo boring that we returned home with a little sleeping beauty in the pram.
Yes, she sucks her thumbs before she sleeps.

Tong Tong Ciang! 888


Just did a count on Sofia's teeth this morning, she has 8 teeth in all! No wonder she chomps on her crackers like nobody's business nowadays.
Being a Chinese, I can't help but link the number 8 to Chinese New Year which is just few days away.
So here's to wishing everyone a Happy Chinese New Year! Tong Tong ciang ciang ciang .....
