throw back, again, again! mega indoor playground

It was Renee's 8th Bday when we decided to bring the kids to a mega indoor playground for some fun... As a form of Bray gift... That's to spend quality time tgt as a family 😘

Renee volunteered to guide me through one round of the entire facility... I thought it would be nothing but I was so wrong... I barely completed one entire round and I slammed myself to the beanie sofa and refused to move... I was so impressed by these lovely babies... How did they manage to go so many rounds? 😅

Dinner was at Seletar Mall... Just in time for some fun at its atrium 😘

Happy 8 years old, my eldest girl. You are growing up so quickly. I see that you have put in a lot of effort in learning in school and being a good girl in this family. Growing up may not be all sweet and rosy but I know that you are doing great! Keep focused and believe in yourself because when you dare to dream and move towards your target, your dream will be a step closer... May your well wishes come true! Love you, always! 😍

again, again! kidsAmaze

School holidays is ending very soon... As dear and I hadn't spend much time with our lovely babies during this break, we reserved this day for our last min "surprise" outing for them.

Looking at this mega water playground you can imagine know how much fun it will be... The only thing I didn't expect was to go so many rounds to slide with all of them... 

I concussed the entire noon that I became wide awake at nearly 3am... 🙄

All the babies were screaming about having muscle aches... My first time massaging all of them with all sort of ointment and oil I could find. Good night, lovely babies! 😬

baking time with kids, it's chocolate chip cookies!

Today, all the kids got together to steal my chocolate chips!

The recipe on the back of Hershey's chocolate chips pack called for the entire 12oz of Chips...

I was thinking... "That's so much! I'll have some leftover for sure..." Then I realized that every cookie that the kids implant with chips... They would sneak a couple of chips into their mouths... 😅

So we baked three rounds of cookies as we could only bake two layers of trays at a time... And indeed, finished up the entire pack of chips..  plus another 1/3 pack of mini chips which I leftover from other bakings... Wow!

The cookies turned out really delicious... Kind of melt in the mouth, if the timing was right... However, due to my bad multitasking skill, they were 'slightly' overbaked for another 1-2mins most of the time. Hohoho! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Still, they taste great!

The sisters easily ate 4-6 pieces in a shot while Wayne finished the entire bowl of about 8 pieces of cookies at once... Hahaha! I personally ate countless of them as I picked them up from the oven, transfered to plate and eventually to bottles.

Kids had fun, so did I 🤗😘😚 overdoes of chips...

new hat, same same but different 😁

Dear said that the hat which I had been wearing for five years was fugly...

So he bought me another one today. 

Thank you, papa. I love this hat, too 😘

an awesome family trip to visit great grandma

It's  been four years since our big family trip to Muar. This time, all of us made it together 👍🏻😍

We took traditional sibling jump shots after like 10 years?

We took family photo against the I red tin house which was still standing there after all these years of "heads up" that it would be tore down...

We brought the kids up to the Famosa via the steep 115 steps... Snapped a few shots against the naturally beautiful rundown walls...

Besides the traditional stop by at the chendol shop and shopping mall... It's kinda cute to see the kids forming their own table... 😅

Took our breakfast at the Old Town White coffee place that had been using the same WiFi password since we first went there in 2015. Not forgetting taking a pic with grandma 😘

It was a long four days staycation... But it just didn't seem to be enough time for us...

The hero who made this trip possible, my dear dear, thank you for taking care of us 😘😍👍🏻

The kids baked a brownie

When little Wayne returned from his staycation from grandma Floral's place, he started beginning as soon as he realized he missed the making of chilli cheese loaf...

So I explained to him that he had missed what he missed... The next opportunity would be to bake a brownie... Under Sis Renee's supervision.

The preparation and mixing went quite well and smooth... Just that the taste and texture didn't seem like how it should be. Haha... Anyway, here's my food for the next few days...

(This is a throw back post... So the brownie was long gone...)

chilli cheese loaf

Changed the brand of chillies and cheddar that we normally use...

Totally prepared by the girls... Love the new taste!

Breakfast lunch and dinner...

it was not a simple dinner

"Shall we meet up, this evening, for a simple dinner?", Dear probed when we were packed in the congested train, on our way to work.

I thought for a while... "We don't need to celebrate... We have not celebrated it anyway...", Brushing it away but I continued, "Okay, let's meet for dinner."

Surprisingly, I was motivated for the day and grew more and more excited about our dinner date as the time creepped nearer.

When it was knockoff time, dear suggested for  Korean cuisine. "Haha... Can can..." I replied almost instantly.

With best efforts from both of us, we managed to arrive at a neighborhood mall at around 8pm for our dinner date. We were famished but luckily we didn't over order like any other day...

Followed by a la-kopi session along the waterway, enjoying the night breeze and magically cooling weather of the year. Lovely... 

One thing my dear didn't know.. what I had for lunch...

😋 Korean food overdose... But very happy! 😘

Our Christmas March down the aisle of Orchard 2019

It's an annual March for our family, followed by a dinner together. This year, we held it like 2 weeks in advance than usual, to avoid disappointment from the unpredictable work schedules, as well as the mad crowd...

We pulled off with early dinner at ASTONS @Centre Point successfully, letting the long queue watch us eat...

Then, we started our March from Orchard Central, 313, headed towards Wisma direction. Snapping pics with no way of filtering the crowds along the way, until we were captivated by the slightly ATAS Uncle Ringo somewhere between 313 and Scape..

We didn't manage to get to Wisma after spending too much time watching how the others threw money at the various stations of the amusement park.

Good thing that Renee picked up a new fake pet "Spark" (which I nicknamed it as 小八 symbolizing 8 yo) as a Bday present from all of us when we stopped by Cineleisure. The girls "took care" of it like a real pet... They fed it with fake kitchen set toy food... Pretended to bath it... Did a bedtime story routine... And co-sleep it with a blanket... 🤔

The weather was quite cooling with stronger than usual breeze beating on us at every step we advanced along the glamorous stretch of way... Christmas is approaching... Definitely... My calendar says so.
