Yangs bonding time

Very Very Xiong's Friday Family Outing

It's school holidays but we haven't really brought the girls to anywhere for a retreat.

Renee kept asking when she would be able to return to school... I felt so guilty for not bringing the girls out more often during this holidays, since I'm off on every Friday ^^

Hence, for the first time, I purchased for e-tickets to RWS sea aquarium via Qoo10 during this GSS and managed to get tickets for 2 adults and 1 child at as low as $45 after $10 discounts >,<

Thursday, Renee requested to watch Finding Dory after she woke up from her nap. She was way too bored during this Hols... She thought that we could stand and watch at the back if there's no seats available for us. Hahaha! Luckily we got seats after all. 

The two girls fit nicely into one seat, while I planted my big butt to another one. There they sat together, sharing the chilled ribena and caramel popcorn. Hohoho!

Oh, then they asked to go for some fun at the wet playground at L4 of the mall...

Before heading home, we dropped by the ELC to "pick-up" the humongous Meh-Meh for Wayne (I think it's more for Dear), when it's sold at 50% discounted price.

Friday, we continued our real-life finding Dory adventure by visiting the sea aquarium. So glad that we picked an indoor excursion during dear and my one and only off day together! It was pouring heavily and super cold most time of the day... We started off at 10am, fed ourselves well at RWS street of Melaka and roamed into the isolated "open ocean"... And BTW, it's Ocean Day today!

Ok, I know the pic was small and it's made up of mostly our big heads... Below are some pics of creatures from the ocean...

And we found the blue tang (or tank), Dory!

After a teabreak at McDonald's where we could rest our legs and get comfort food for the kids (and one old kid, my dear), I became too ambitious to suggest that we catch the Hi-5 at United Sq this evening, instead of weekend to avoid the crowd.

We really went to catch the meet and greet, sing-and-dance-along... And headed back home almost immediately, to avoid the knockoff jam along CTE.

Big big thank you, to the grand parents, for looking after the kids the day before so we could watch movie yesterday and have a great day today. 

Big big thank you, to dear, for taking off from his super-ever-busy work schedule and be part of the great family outing today. Sorry that you spent $24 at parking at RWS when it was supposed to be FOC with the silver membership card... Oops, RWS bad!

KYM

A little prayer to thank the KYM in my heart! All the best ^^

(For those who missed the Man from Mars Woman from Venus on ch U every Mon 9pm, KYM was illustrated by Quan Yifeng. It refers to Kuan Yin Ma, not Kym Ng)

Little humming bird

This evening, little Wayne kept biting his lower lips and hummed throughout the bedtime routine.

So funny but I didn't manage to capture that expression... Good night, my little humming bird ^^

Jun Hols without enrichment class

Often, I would bump into a neighbor from  the 20th floor whose girl was 2 weeks younger than Renee. 

I hadn't enrolled any of my kids to June Holidays enrichment class, however, as far as I know, my other neighbors, cousins, colleagues and friends did...

This 20th floor neighbor sent her girl to enrichment class since she was 3 years old... OMG!

As much as I could remember, I played a lot during my childhood and wasn't sent to any enrichment class. Holidays, to me and my siblings, were time to break from school and have great fun (or lobo)!

This Hols wasn't much planned for as both dear and I had to work and meet deadlines... Luckily, the grandparents from both sides had stepped in and helped to bring some holiday joy to the kids ^^

My MIL jio-ed us to NEX library (sorry too overwhelmed to take pics), while my parents accompanied the girls to a cycling trip along the Punggol beach. 

After the girls cycled, we headed for dinner at Heavenly Wang at the Punggol safra. I chanced upon a "hidden" Cosy corner and we spent like 15-20mins chillax-ing... Ended up with $5+ of parking fee! Oops!

Exhausted but what a super fun day we shared! Thank you, 奶奶，阿公 and 阿嬷！

Great grandmas and great grandchildren

Two great grandmas visited their great grand children at our humble home, so we had some snaps together ^^

I wish I have kept the stack of clothes before they arrived... I wish I can PS the stack of clothes away from the background... Really happy to have the two great grannies dropping by ^^

Where E-E brought us

E-E came for a staycation at our place so I decided to delegate the weekend outing planning to her.

Glad that I did that because she led us to a "secret playground". It's a FOC chillax playground for the kids, on the L4 of The Esplanade ^^, where they can do colouring, craft work, play with magnetic wooden blocks and hang around at a loft space for some readings (but there's too much dust on the books that I didn't even want to touch them). The best part (besides it's FOC) is its indoor, so we were not affected by the rainy weather today, at all!!! Wuhoo >,<

Wayne's collage

We wanted to visit Suntec but guess we spent too much time at Marina Square... So, next time, maybe ^^

Off we go!
