We went to the Singapore Flyer last month during the "Kids fly for FREE promotion".
This was the 2nd time Zac went up on the Flyer but the first for the rest of us :)
We could hardly feel that the capsules were moving.... we were at the PEAK in just a blink.
I must have been so busy snapping photos away & din realized that time passed so quickly ;p
For mahjong players out there, I think it is a familiar word we hear when we wanna "eat" tiles from the player before you.
However, the following mahjong tiles you see below are really meant to be eaten.
They are made of white & dark chocolate. Hubs bought them from HK !! :)
I found "Fa Cai", "Ba Tong" & "Ba Wan" in the packaging :):)~~~~
I bought 2 sets of the DIY 3D racing car at an offer during the Metro expo sales. I thought I could sit down to work on it with the boys .... however, it is quite tough !! Finally, Daddy helped the boys to assembly it yesterday. The output is so fragile that one of the 2 cars is damaged almost immediately. A bit of effort needed from Daddy to fix it again !!
Quite an interesting car with pull back mechanism though and its only S$1.50 :)
We went on a 4 night cruise to Phuket on board SuperStar Libra recently. It was a last min booking cos I was informed rather late of a travel voucher from my sis which could be used to offset about 1/3 of the cruise payment. We managed to secure a quad cabin with port hole finally !!
This is the first time I board Libra. I've been on SuperStar Virgo & Aquarius!!
Off we go ... ... ...
The boys were amazed by the mega ship !! Their virgin ride ... .....
There are a total of 9 decks. Our cabin is on deck 2. Really very cramp...this was how we let the 2 boys to sleep. We brought down one of the mattress on the upper bed & placed it on the floor. They were so interested on the ladder & kept climbing up & down :(
The yummilicious spread of food from Four Season (left : Western) & Ocean Palace (right : Chinese cuisine) These were only food we had for 2 meals. You can imagine how well fed we were on board throughout the whole trip :):):)
Entertainment from the cruise crew on one of the night at Star Lounge !!
Zac volunteered to participate in one of the game show called the Horse Ride. He is "horse" number 3. I bet on horse 1, 3 & 6.... not my lucky numbers though. Horse number 4 won !! :):)
How can the boys missed playing in the pool there? The water is so ...... saltish ;p
We embark at Phuket (Patong Beach) on the 3rd day & spend about 8 hrs on the island.
The main attraction is the elephant ride at Island Safari. The 4 of us sat on the elephant. You can imagine how strong the mammal is to carry 3 adults (not forgeting the trainer too) & 2 child up & down the challenging terrains *sweat*
The boys also had a jolly good time watching the funny monkey doing its tricks. We also took photos with the cheeky little fellow that lifted its tiny hands for the photo shot. So smart !! :):)
We also went to Phuket's most famous Buddhist temple, Wat Chalong. The boys were amazed by the magnificient sculptures :)
These were the things we brought home. Mostly photos..... haha... they are really precious & expensive photos I should say !! :):)
This marks the last post from me for the year 2008.
May I wish everyone a fruitful year ahead :):)
We went to the Goat Farm @ Hay Diaries off Lim Chu Kang on Haji holiday. We proceeded with our plans despite the sudden rain in the morning :)
I was surprised that the place was already crowded & limited parking areas !!
We reached there in time to catch the milking process... ...
Fresh milk in the pail...
The milk are sold in 200 & 800 ml bottles.
We bought 200ml x 5 bottles of plain milk (S$10), there are chocolate flavors too.
It came in a nice handy chiller container :)
The boys enjoying the milk...!! For me, I couldn't really tell the difference between cow & goat milk.
I catch a banner there that say :
" Drink Goat Milk" Nature Next Best Thing to Mother's Milk.
Highly Nutritious
Highly Digestible
Low Cholestrol
A Unique Product of Nature !!
We were disappointed that the feeding areas were closed due to health checks. As such, the boys din manage to feed the goats personally *sob*
We left the goat farm & move on to the Frog Farm a few mins drive away... ...
Its a rare occasion to see so many frogs. The boys were stunned !!
I saw a BIG plastic bag with many frogs struggling inside (see pic below)!! Cannot help wondering if they are due for slaughter?? Poor thing ... ...
There are also fish pond there. Lots of fishes ... ...
We ended the day with a late lunch at South Bridge Road. Yummilicious prawn noodle, Crayfish Laksa & Mee Siem. According to the stall owner, the gravy for the latter is made of fruits & not the asam paste. Totally mouth savouring & we finished up wanting a 2nd bowl but the boys just cant sit still so have to leave the place. I'll be back to try the Mee Reebus... ... :) ~~~~
... continued from Genting/KL trip : Part I
Hubs accompanied the boys for the unlimited day ride at the Indoor Theme Park at Genting. I helped them to take pictures.
Portable mini mahjong set my sis brought along. We played a game each for the 3 nights. No luck with this new set of mahjong. S$20 poorer :(
Luckily we had some luck over at the casino. Won RM 150 at the Wheel Of Fortune in just 10 mins. We walked off after that in case greed made us loss everything. LOL :):)
All these glorious food kept us energized !! Our first night dinner was at Ah Yat Restaurant. It cost a BOMB cos my sis ordered RED wine too ... ... RM 2K for a table of 10 adults & 3 kids !! We had dim sum breakfast the next day at the same restaurant. It was recommended by friend to try their dim sum. GOOD !! :):)
We feasted at these restaurants at Gentings : Kenny Rogers (prompt service & cheap), McDonalds (long queue for the sake of the boys cos they want the happy meal toys), Kopitiam Zi Cha (terrible, no ingredients & very saltish!!)
Over at Berjaya Time Square : Buffet Breakfast at hotel Big Apple Cafe (moderately good !!), Sushi King (lousy waiter, reminded order for thrice then he served the california maki *faint*), The Chicken Rice Shop (the best meal over the 4 days too bad it was taken in a rush cos of the checking out time. Very tender chicken & aromatic rice)
How can I not miss the shopping part?????
For the boys : Polo Ralph Tees (x2), Guess Shirts (x4), Personalized Key Chain(x2), Adidas Shoes (x1), Poney Tees (x3) & Looney Tunes Tees (x1)
For hubs : Vietnamese Pants, Bum Equipment Bermudas
For myself : Diesel top (x2), Sandels (x2), Body Glove Top (x5), Coach Key Chain (x2) & assorted souvenirs
Back home, the boys playing with their Madagascar toys :):)
Although I was sick throughout the trip (coughing very badly)... .... I am glad that the boys enjoyed themselves & able to overcome the long journey !!
We planned to go to Sunway Lagoon on our next trip ... ... YAY !! :):)
The boys went for their first oversea trip : 4D3N Genting/KL from 21-24 Nov 08 with my family. All off us boarded a 26 seater executive coach at 7am on 21 Nov 08 :)
The 2 boys kept themselves entertained with the onboard movie & games. Amos fell asleep half way through the journey...
Zac was excited with the trip & looked relax with his head set over his head :):)
We alighted at First World Hotel (Gentings at about 2pm+). However, were disappointed that the rooms will only be available at around 5pm. All of us waited at the lobby. I took the time to walk around & cannot help noticing a few chef working on a X'mas house made of bread & cream. It was amazing :):)
Our hotel rooms : -
First World Hotel :Rm 25-928 (Extremly small, we stayed there for 2 night)
Berjaya Times Square Hotel : Rm A18-08 (So spacious contrast to FW Hotel, too bad we only stayed there for a night !! I didn't even have a chance to sit down on the sofa..... LOL :D:D:D:D)
Photos I took with the boys mostly at Genting cos my camera failed half way. So didn't take much photos at KL *sob* :(:(
The 2 boys had a jolly good time at the Genting Theme Park & Cosmo World Theme Park at Times Square. It was endless fun to them!! :):)
To be continued ... ... Genting/KL Trip : Part II
