reminder to treat yourself well

Rest well (from work)

Eat well (enough but not over)

Sit well (good posture is important)

Sleep well (early and enough)

Time we'll (manage it wisely)

23 Nov... GP, polyclinic, GP again, GH... 12 hours of clinic hopping... Left GH at 1am... Home sweet home...

Keep smiling. There's always bad thought or even bad dreams... Keep the light bright and burning. Thank you papa and babies for being there... Asleep...

2021 year end Staycation final day

We tried out the breakfast buffet at Peppermint. I must say that buffet without being able to quickly get our own food is not quite the authentic buffet experience we used to have. Nevertheless, we were done with our breakfast within an hour (there's even timelimit on top of the no self service) 😅

After spending the entire morning and noon, enjoying the view from our room (and the big TV), we marched towards "The Dead Man" (that's what the kids called it) balloon sculpture. We didn't mean to go there, just wanted to stroll along the Singapore river and sit down for some drinks by the river... Unfortunately, the construction work, the crowd, the cyclists... Make it more like a hush hush passing by place, not condusive for bumming ard like before...

So we continued our stroll and moved into esplanade, got a table for five and rest our feet.

Back to our room, the kids took their long awaited bubble hot tub. When they were done soaking, they continued with their Netflix buffet while dear and I went to the poolside to chillax.

We didn't plan to go anywhere during these 3D2N staycation at The Parkroyal Collections. We aim purpose was to enjoy the room, the hot tub and the view... Sure we did. 🙏🏼🌈🥳

It's another round of hot tub before checking out... Goodbye, thank you for the great time spent together. We may not be back too soon but certainly a good choice for staycation!

2021 year end Staycation Day minus 1 week

Rolling back in time for a bit...

A week before the staycation, the kids were doing up some list... I was wondering what the list was about... Couldn't be that they were scheduling their to do list during 

this school holidays... Exactly!

Then I asked for a preview and the truth unfolded... True enough, they follower through this list the moment we got into the room...

2021 year end Staycation Day1

This is our first time staying at The Parkroyal  Marina Bay hotel. The check-in took really long but the service was good. We hang around Marina Square, citylink and even Suntec during our long wait...

Dear managed to get this superb facing view for our few days of stay here.

I must not forget to mention about bringing our kids to The Kenny Rogers! Dear and I used to had so many meals here duirng our dating times...

We ordered our "usual" quarter chicken with Mac & cheese and potato salad. 

We visited the pool on our first night since the sky was pretty clear.

Night time, we had our supper from Donki. The toasted Jap sweet potato and sippy icecream. The view from our room was so good that P couldn't fall asleep...

Stay tuned...

fruitful day

The kids wished me H.B. when I sent them off to school. Dear and I took our bkf as usual. 

Our plan for a morning cycle was shelved as I had to attend two meetings in the morning. Well, it's a hidden blessing. There's a downpour. We would have been trapped in the rain if we went ahead.

Lunchtime, dear bought me a cake, I had to carry it home by myself. 

After the kids returned and settled with their lunches, dear and i got our Dyson motor replaced. We finally got a vacuum now... We had been "vacuumless" for a week. Yuan yuan did all the ground work...

Dinner, dear brought us to a nearby cafe... Our first visit. Food was so so, ambience was great. Anyway, dear over ordered as usual...

After dinner, dear, R and I set off for our night cycling. Sounds good huh. Actually it's after dinner cycling ard la...

We bought some accessories like lights and pouches fun Decathlon store, had some hot drinks before heading back.

First ride along the Sumang walk area, the view was superb!!! It's HDB by the river. Wow!!!

A the BD song in three languagesv wrap up the beautiful day. Thank you dear, thank you my lovely kids. Thank you, my family and friends 🥰🥳🌈

A surprise treat

First I thought dear grabbed lunch when he saw that my meeting was likely to overrun, just like any other time.

Then, I felt guilty for opening the gate to random delivery guy when dear told me he didn't order lunch.

I double checked the address and contact when the delivery guy indeed showed up at my doorstep with big bags of swensens, not a wrong delivery for sure when he rang me up as nobody answered his door. (I wasn't expecting a delivery you see)

I was totally confused until I saw "Lina" on the long roll of receipt... Ar... It totally linked up the chains of event... Lina text me randomly this morning and chat abt WFH... So that's her plan to ensure I was at home that day...

My dear lao na sent me tons of love... Overjoyed, were the kids, as they buffet on the various scopes of icecream... 

Overfed, was I, as I gobbled down the yummy classic america mini burgers 😝😋 one was mini... Six ain't! That's gigantic 😝🤣

Lovely. Very shiok lunch, followed by food coma. 🤫🥳😴

Thank you, Lina, for the surprise Bday treat!

our second night ride to SK

Last week, we went to SK McD... This week, we explorerd a little further down, passed by High Park and arrived at Jln Kayu.

We thought of chillax at Selegie Douhua... But the queue was long and slow. And gone were the tables and chairs... Seemed to go only.

We continued further to a nearby coffeeshop, we called it the "Wa zai kpt"... Before heading back home.

It's less crowded today, somehow. Hope every is well. 

yum Cha @CBP

Thank you, papa, R, P and W...

It was a very good start of the day with some dim sums... But remember not to over order next time... ☺️

Tmr then jian fei.... (Everyday like that...)

morning ride was marvelous

R woke me up at 6am this Sunday.

It's still a mystery if she wanted to go for the ride because she thought that I'd love to, or if she wanted to go for it.

Nevertheless, as I had told her, "just wake me up if u need me.' She did.

Off we went... I thought it will be "another morning ride, along the water... Near collision with other cyclists... Some nice view maybe..."

But wow!!! Me and my girl, we were like wow wow wow along the way to the riverside stadium... Some scenaries were so beautiful that we took "pictures" using our eyes since the bend was narrow and we definitely didn't want to hold up the traffic...

With the misty morning, with cold breeze and cloudy sky blocking away the morning sun, the entire roundtrip 10km+ ride turned out to be absolutely marvelous...

Building fond memories with R. Glad that she enjoyed her third ride of the week. Happy kid, happy mum 🍻🥰

Coney Island with sis

Some angmos trekkers passee by and I overheard their converstion... "it's some kind of calming music"

Yup, it was me who played Kevin kern's enchanted garden when we were cycling across The Coney Island 😜

our first night ride to Seng Kang

So dear and I took a ride to Seng Kang stadium McDonalds to "chillax".

The PCN was long and quiet... The occasional drizzle made the night breeze that hit against us felt colder than it was...

Hot Milo and mango pies before we head back home.

BTW, playing music loudly (not blasting) is for the safety of pesdestrians who shared the PCN, so that they would be aware of incoming riders from behind.

I was nearly hit by another rider who rode so fast and quietly when I swirled a little. He zoomed past right next to me... That was an unpleasand shock... He could have rang his bell when he's neared, if he's not playing music... 😳
