Resort World Sentosa - Festive Hotel

We went to Resort World Sentosa (RWS) at the beginning of the Term 3 holidays. It was a day of gathering cos my sis got a room at Festive Hotel and the whole gang of Ng family were roaming RWS. We went there by car & reached the island at around 10.45am.

My sis's room has a luxurious king size bed, a sofa bed (see pic below which I'm seated on) that folds into a double bed and a Loft bed that caters for children. It was a perfect getaway hotel for families travelling with kids :)

The boys' were amazed by the Loft bed & climbed up & down constantly... ...

My sis's room was on the 4th floor, just a level above the pool :)



We walked around the shops... ... a lot of tempting treats for children... ...

We did not enter the Universal Studio due to the lack of time but will definitely return!

Time really passed & we did not realized we had spend half a day walking & walking... ...
The boys were tired so we left the island earlier around 6+pm than the rest of the gang & head to Vivocity for dinner. The parking fee was a killing S$21!!

We might not have been able to visit the hotel rooms & capture those great photos if not for my sis. Thanks sis, Min !! :)

Slide @ Changi Airport T3

Zac went on a ride on the world's tallest slide in an airport during the last week of the June holidays. The 4 storey slide is located at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 Arrival Hall (level 1). Zac just reach the min height requirement for the 12 m slide. Participants have to be 1.3m-2m to whiz down. For every $30 spent in a single receipt will entitle you to 2 tokens. We spent $60+ that day so he enjoyed the twist & turn 4 times :):):) It was really addictive & Zac could have just played non-stop ... ...

There is another smaller version which does not require min spend. Participants have to be 1.1-1.2m to play though. Amos met the height mark, however, he was afraid!! ;p

Cookie Decorating Activity @ Ikea

I brought the boys to Ikea yesterday. Coincidentally, there was a Cookie Decorating Activity going on. I signed up for them immediately for the 5pm slot. The timing was just right for them to catch a light snack after their SMALAND fun which ended at 4.30pm :)

This was the first time the boys had hands on doing such icing design in public... ...
Amos was seen biting off a portion of his cookie immediately after he sat down (see pic below). The in-charge heard that he was hungry (obviously the light snack was "too light" for him!!) & was so thoughful to pass an extra piece for him to eat LOL :D:D

Amos is the youngest among the group. The assistant came over to help him after seeing him squeezing a valley of icing on the cookie.... haha :D:D

As you can see, their designs were really "fantastic"!!!!! hehe ;p
Amos icing took a long time to dry up bcos of the enormous pool of icing... ...
They had their own creation for supper. YUM YUM :) ~~~~~~

Amos turned 4 !!

We celebrated Amos' 4th birthday yesterday :)
Although it was a small celebration, little Amos enjoyed himself tremendously... ...

We had lunch at Swensen, there was a long queue due to the 1 for 1 lunch offer. I din even know of the promotion, it was really worth i t!! :):)

Amos was so excited to head to Kidz Amaze.... we haven't been there for months but he could still rem the different passages leading to different slides. He had 2 hrs of non-stop fun & was reluctant to go home.

It was really late & I have to invite the birthday boy to return home to cut his birthday cake. :D:D

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY to Darling Amos
May you always be cheerful & lovable :):)

Singapore Turf Club

The boys went to so many places during the June holidays that I am still posting outings of them till now. They get to enter the Singapore Turf Club during one of the nights when it was opened to public. We went there right after their day Splash Day at SSC. You can imagine how tired they were. Amos actually dozed off during the journey there & when he woke up, he refused to walk & as such, only Zac posing at the entrance ... ...



Amos was soon fascinated with the place as there were food fair & games stalls ... ...


There was a race on that day but its more for entertainment & not for betting!!
The boys get to bring in their popcorn & drinks & watched the race at the comfort of the air-con seats.

This was the second time I came to the Turf Club. The first time was a supplier event & we get to enter the VIP room. I can still recall the excitement of betting & watching 'live' matches. It was truly an experience for me then !! The VIP rooms were closed on that day & I could only watch the empty seats from the next door... ...

Do you still recall my WW of The Boy's Age? The sculpture were also taken there. There were a total of 10 numbers ;p

Singapore Flyer

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

Splash Park at SSC

A friend recommended Sembawang Shopping Centre (SSC) to me after knowing that my boys love water playground. SSC was re-opened after a year of renovation. The new shopping mall houses four retail floors and a rooftop “Splash Park” as a designated water play area with interactive features to provide lots of entertainment and amusement for children.

The water jet operates at 2 time interval : 2pm & 5pm. So be there at the right time to avoid dissapointment :)

This is the DRY playground with interesting slides, see-saw, ropes & rocks for climbing & balancing.. ...




This is the splash area with colorful & amusing display of water jets in all directions. Watch out if you step into the area. A pail of water might just fall onto you :)


We'll definitely be back again before the school term starts. The boys spend 4 hrs of fun-filled time at the mall :):)

Hoopla @ Parkway Parade

The boys have been watching the programs on Playhouse Disney ever since Daddy subscribed the channel for them during the March holiday this year . They are so familiar with the varies showtime and the names of the characters.

I saw the Disney Hoopla Workshops advertised on the newspaper way before the June holiday begin. I have scheduled a date to bring the boys over.

A min spend of S$30 is required to participate in the Workshop. There are four thematic workshops to choose from. The best part is that they get to bring home a Free Disney Tote Bag (while stocks last!) at the end of it !!

I need to spend at least S$60 for the boys to participate in the workshop. I'm thrilled to know that receipts from Giants are eligible. Its easy task for me to grab S$60 worth of grocery... ...

I enter the workshop with the boys!!
First is the "Handy Manny" station ...

I was surprised that both the boys knew the character names of the tools in the show when the lady asked them. They have never mentioned to me about the names . It was a JOY seeing them so enjoying something they are familiar with !! :):)


Next is Amos' favorite "Little Einsteins" - its all about musical notes.
The boys were required to follow the beat and play their instruments. Zac handled the percussion while Amos was in charge of the drum. The boys knew their rhythm *applause*


Moving on is my favorite cartoon - Winnie The Pooh Bear.
The boys had to drive through the woods to reach the other end... ...

Last but not least, the Mickey Mouse Club House!!
The boys had to complete a puzzle & then find the designated shapes from a pool of balls.


I'm so impressed by all the colorful display & interactive games.
The event is very well organized !!

Hoppla @ Parkway Parade
Date : 29 May - 28 June 2009
