life is Fair

When we were all down, dear had to serve all of us... He's the only runner...

Months passed, now that dear is down, the whole family serves him... He's the king...

Day 1 dinner, just because my rice cooker arrived in time 😉

This was the huge slice of fish from MIL, and it's steamed using my dad's recipe, with my Happy all steamer pot, not my new rice cooker...

This is the only pic I got of it on Day 1. Rice scooed by W, rinsed by P and cooked by R.

Day 2 lunch, just because I want to use my new rice cooker 😬

Meet the Royal Guard Dog nobody enters the room

Day 2 dinner in the making... Going to cook some soup with the rice cooker... Hohoho 🤗

Update: papaya fish soup and jasmine rice for dinner

🤭🥲🤗🤔

When the kids returned home from school, they topped up the royal guard team... Nobody beyond the line.... Except for the king... 🥳🤭

Five more days to go!!! ✌🏼👌🏼

Spore River Wonders

Term break is approaching it's end and dear managed to get tickets for the family to visit the River Wonders. Our last visit was so long ago, and didn't even get to see the pandas. This time, we saw 凯凯，佳佳 and even 乐乐！

凯凯 was circling among the bushes until the keeper open the gate and let it in...

佳佳 came out for snacks...

乐乐 was like a stuff toy snoozing among the bamboos... Maybe it's really just a stuff toy...

This is also the first time when we tried the Amazon River Quest since W met the min height requirement of 1.06cm 🤏🏼

We thought maybe if the River Wonder Park can be entirely via boat ride, how nice would it be, right? It's was thrilling to see the jaguars so up close.

Lunch was quite sad but luckily none of us were hungry actually (except P, maybe). So we took some sandwiches/pizza as a quick bite, sitting by the benches as all the tables were taken with so many families waiting eagerly for a table...

The entrance to Zoo was right in front of us but we didn't proceed. We were waiting for the last round of Once Upon a River held at Boat Plaza at 2:30pm. Glad that we didn't miss it. First time catching it and it was pretty engaging. The kids were happy to see the animals.

The perfect ending was the air-conditioned aquarium where we get to admire plenty of gigantic fishes...

It's a funfilling day for me. Hope the kids enjoy themselves and learnt a lot of fun facts about rivers and animals.

Mar hols 2022... WWW

It's been P's dream outing to visit to the Wild Wild Wet... In order to make this trip, she had to accomplish a couple of milestone, including learning her times table and cycling... Both were half-baked but we brought them to the water park anyway... For their hardwork in learning spellings in the first term. 😅

Dear brought us to good food for dinner and overfeed us like any other day. The kids tried to eat the dry ice from the "volcano" dessert... And it wasn't as tasteful at all. 😫

Celebrating our graduations

All thanks to this man who stayed as negative as he could throughout so that he can be our runners for a week... Thinking of what to eat for a week can be driving him crazy...

During our graduation weekend, we headed to upper pierce reservoir for some fresh air and serenity...

Lunch, I ordered some light meals for the families to share some love and care.

chalet 2021

This was the second family chalet at NSRCC.

The first time during Phoebe's second Bday celebration. We invited grandparents from both sides to a BBQ. It was awesome.

This time, we chanced upon a unit for Renee's Bday celebration. We couldn't extend the invite due to SMM restriction but we had a new member who hadn't "officially" joined us during the last round - Baby W 🥰

It was awesome and family time we'll spent. We swam nearly daily, day or night... We spent the afternoon bowling and arcading... We admired the neat and beautiful landscape of the golf course as we had our breakfast...

We went to the beach as early as 8am to play with the sand and some cycling...

We had dinner at Stella, along the shore as the sun set behind us... Blessed 🙏🏻

night cycling in the drizzle

For the first time, we cycled to Pasir Ris...

For the first time, we cycled in drizzle...

It was a messy but memorable ride ☺️

R and I took a hot shower and a cup of warm ginger drink once we got home... 😜😅

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 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...
