Sweet Little Eskimo

 At first glance, one would have thought that this is an Eskimo girl. However, unfortunately, there is no Eskimo girl here in Melaka. So we have to make do with what we have...Dhamia. Well, minus the show of course. 

Actually, these photos were taken at Dataran Pahlawan after we took Dhamia shopping for a sweater. Not that we are going to Korea or north pole but simply to prepare for the Pangkor trip. Being a seaside resort, we were afraid that she might find it kind of cold there. So as a precautionary measure, the sweater is a must.

Hair Raising Experience

Check my hair out. So what do you think about it? Well, since Dhamia's hair had grown longer it was about time to tie her hair. And no thanks to her mum, this was the result of the endeavour.

Dhamia And Her Hat

Dhamia and her funny-looking hat again. She seemed to be so engrossed in something that she did not even realise that I was standing there snapping away. As with kids, there were times when it was almost impossible to snap her photos as she was unable to sit still. And on the other hand, there were also times when something like presented itself. Of course, more often than not, it would be quite a daunting task trying to get her to keep quiet.

Cooling Off

Welcome to Dhamia's world. This is an impromptu photography session..which explains for her lack of clothings. This was taken during the dry season and as such, the weather was rather hot and just to keep her happy, she had to go around like this to cool things off.

Happy Birthday Dhamia

 Happy birthday my girl. Dhamia turns one-year-old today. Wow. How time flies. It really felt like it was only yesterday when I had to rush my wife to the hospital. I guess before I know it she would already be ready for school. Time certainly flies too soon.

My dear Dhamia. Here's wishing you a very Happy Birthday and hoping that you will achieve everything you will set out to achieve in life. Just remember that I love you very very much.

Plane Spotting

This was the first time we visited Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang after the MH370 incident. So in a way, this visit could be considered as a tribute to all those onboard the ill-fated MAS flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 

From the look of things, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary despite what had happened. KLIA was still a busy and packed airport, the way we always remembered it. On the surface everything certainly looked nothing out of the ordinary.

The main reason we visited the airport was to give Dhamia the opportunity to view the planes from up close (well, from the viewing gallery at least). I remembered how fun it was for me when I was young and therefore, she might even enjoy it...provided of course she understands everything.

The airport is certainly a good place for plane spotting although these photos were nowhere near those taken by others during a plane's approach or taking off. That would have been quite an awesome sight. But then, better these than nothing at all. There is certainly something captivating about planes.

It was just a short visit with nothing much happening. But it was worthwhile as little Dhamia got her first view of planes. And as for me, I got the opportunity to snap away.

My Ride And I

 Not knowing how she'll react to it, we decided to let Dhamia have a ride on this ride. Surprisingly she seemed to be enjoying herself, laughing and smiling all along. How a simple thing like this can make a child so happy. How I wish we as adults can also see the pleasures in the simplest of things.

Bet there will be more rides like this for Dhamia. Time is certainly on her side to enjoy all the pleasures in life.
