Summer 2013-14

Pinkxi has finally graduated from her child care and while she is sad to leave her teachers and friends, she’s looking forward to attending ‘Big School’ in February. But ‘Big School’ will have to wait a while more because this summer vacation BBM & Pinkxi packed their bags and went off Singapore and Hong Kong!

It’s always fun to go off during this time of the year because of all the exciting events in December and January. While it never snows in Singapore, BBM and Pinkxi checked out the beautiful Xmas lightups along Orchard Road. Hopefully one day BBM and Pinkxi can do a real snowy white Xmas holiday!

They too were wowed by the sights in the world’s largest aquarium (accredited by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™) S.E.A. Aquarium! The main viewing tank was simply WOW…….

The crew then made their way to Hong Kong after Xmas. Pinkxi would never miss her chance to go to Disneyland while BBM gets checks out the yummy local cuisine in Hong Kong.

They then made another stopover in Singapore to catch up with relatives and friends in the weeks leading up to Lunar New Year. It’s always good to see Grandpa and Grandma Monsters and heaps of other critters and Pinkxi had much fun playing with her cousins. The BBM crew also had the chance to catch some Lunar New Year setups in Chinatown before catching the plane back Melbourne.

The festivities sure doesn’t end with the trip. BBM and Pinkxi were thrilled to catch lion and dragon dances in Melbourne Town too! Pinkxi loves the lions and the energetic drummings while BBM munches away on all the festive goodies…nom nom nom…..
