Concert in the Garden

We attend the SSO concert in Botanic Gardens regularly. Though finding a carpark lot is a challenge, but the kids like the idea of a picnic with music. Of course, the yummy food I prepare is also a draw for them to go.

The last one was in April. We go a lot fairly easy, a good spot on the picnic grounds and of course, the pizza was finished without any left overs. Towards the end of the concert, the kiddos even started dancing to the music....

Night View from the Singapore Flyer

Getting ready for the ride with lots of 'Love' sign

When Zhi was 1 year old, we took the Flyer to celebrate his birthday. But it was during the day. Two years had passed and the landscape along Marina bay had changed. So we thought we can bring them again and this time, we decided we'll take it in the evening.

It was quite a mistake to bring them for the ride before their dinner. Because, they were complaining of hunger the full 30mins while we're in the cabin. Nevertheless, it was a different sight compared to the daytime view.

Zhi's 3rd Birthday

Just realised, I didn't post Zhi's birthday photos on the blog. And considering his birthday was in March! This is extremely late.

As usual, we had a family gathering with my in-laws and parents to celebrate his birthday. And this time, we had lunch at The New Majestic Restaurant. We went there during CNY with my ex-colleagues and we thought the food is really good. So we decided to go there again.

The restaurant is located inside the hotel. And the lobby is filled with many modernistic furnitures and decorations. From our private room, we can also see the kitchen preparing our food. Something new and interesting.

Needless to say, all his presents are Thomas and Friends related. He was very certain of what he wanted and he separately requrested from his grandparents to get 'Molly' the train and also the turntables. His wish was definitely granted.

Marina Bay Sands

We went to MBS for dinner two weeks ago. And I happened to have my camera in my bag. Quickly whipped it out and took a picture of the casino from the viewing gallery on top. Of course, this was definitely NOT allowed. And the next thing I know I kena warned by the securities. Some cheap thrills....

Too bad, I didn't get the chance to take a picture of 'the world's largest chandelier' which is atop the gambling area.

The jackpot machines:

The Playhouse@Rochester House

We discovered this new place where the kids can play and the parents can dine recently. Called the Rochester House, located at Rochester Park, its actually a colonial house that is converted into a playhouse for the kids. Of course, you need to pay an hourly rate for them to play there.

On some days, they conduct some simple art activities for the kids too. That was how I chanced upon it. They had a Mother's day card making activity on that Saturday morning and we decided to bring the kids there.

Good thing is, they serve decent meals too. For most of the indoor gym we go, the meals aren't very appealing and mostly sandwiches or simple pasta. This place does whipped up nice breakfast and steaks if you like.

Its a quiet and serene place to go on a morning. And we will definitely go there again soon.

Last Instalment for our HKG trip

The last two days of the trip was spent in HKG island. And unlucky for me, I kena stomach flu on the day I scheduled for shopping!!! So you can imagine, I ended up not eating much and not buying much!

What a pity. Because for our every trip to HKG, we make it a point to go Yung Kee for a meal. Reservations are highly and strongly recommended because its kind of like a 'signature restaurant' in HKG that every HKG people knows this place and go there. And I didn't even have the mood or taste to eat the roast goose. Sad...

And our last day was spent in Ocean Park. Well, after Disneyland, the kids and us felt that Ocean Park lags behind the variety and entertainment as compared to Disneyland. Even the rides were typical. But nevertheless, the kids enjoyed themselves though I can see they enjoyed more in Disneyland.

I must say, the two of them were very well-behaved and cooperative. Given that I was so sick the last two days, they didn't create much trouble for me.

Its a nice place to go for a short trip. And even till now, the two of them are still bugging us to bring them there again.
