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 !! :)

Zac's Swimming Class

Zac started his swim class 2 mths ago. He is now into his 10th lesson from Coach Desmond. I have been following him throughout his lessons & keeping closely of his progress. Consider the fact that he has zero swimming knowledge & water fright, he is making some progress now. He is able to swim a distance using float & can control his breathe in the water. Last lesson, none of the students turned up for the lesson due to the heavy rain that morning. As such, Zac got the 'private' (1-1) training. hehehe.... how fortunate !! :):)

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 :):)

Our first visit to Marina Barrage

The Marina Barrage is Singapore's latest downtown icon. It is built across the Marina Channel between the reclaimed lands of Marina East and Marina South. The Marina Barrage creates Singapore’s 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. It was officially opened on 1 Nov 2008.

The S$226 million project turns Marina Bay and Kallang Basin into a new downtown freshwater Marina Reservoir. It has a 3 -in 1 benefits of supplying water, flood control & as a lifestyle attraction. You can read more about it here.

We made a trip there last Sat. The boys were too young to understand the purpose of this reservoir. They were more interested in the water splash playground for the children :)

We stayed at the place for nearly 2 hours till our body could no longer withstand the burning heat from the sun :)

Zac was reluctant to leave. I have to assure him we will re-visit the place very soon & the next time round, more equipped !! ie. Sun block lotion and plenty of water :)

IBM Family Day at Siloso Beach

My family was invited for the IBM Family Day recently. The event was held in the afternoon around 3pm. We reached there around 2pm but was surprised that there were limited parking left. As a result, a lot of walking to reach Siloso Beach (Sentosa).

As you can see from the photos, dark clouds started to appear & it rained just when its abt time for registration. Luckily, the boys catch some sand time before rushing them to shelter.




Zac kicked a few goals at the game stall & took home a few small gifts ;p
They were kind enough to offer gifts to Amos too though he did not kick in a single one!! How thoughtful of them to win the smile from my little boy :):)


These are what we had for dinner. All of us were starving when finally grab hold of the dinner packs around 7pm+ !!

It wasn't a great day for us cos of the long queue everywhere. Queue for food, for game stall & even the restroom :(
The boys were exhausted & cranky on the long ride home... traffic jams !! *sigh*

This is a miracle... ...FIRST Commentator

Thanks Marzie for being my first commentator here !! Congratulations !!

What a fantastic public pool !!

We brought the boys to a newly opened public pool recently. It was crowded over the weekends.
Zac had a jolly good time running up and down the slide. Totally forgetting that an hour had passed. Amos was satisfied with just staying along the side of the pool and kicking his leg :)

We intend to re-visit!! We'll need to bring along Amos' deflatable car so that he can have a ride on the water. LOL :D

What to do on a HOT afternoon?

Its such a HOT afternoon. I'm thinking of where to bring the boys.... ....
Finally, decided to head for the pool ... ...


Amos learning his kicking with the help of a float ;p


They are happily playing with their own toys after a while.... ... :):)

At the beach ...

Its been so long since I last cycle at ECP. The bicycle rental is cheaper on weekdays. Same price for 3 hrs compared to 1 hr for weekends. It comes with complimentary drinks too. We had so much FUN racing along the beach & sweating out :):)

Wordless Wednesday : Gardening is FUN...

What a FUN way to water the plants !! :):)

Submarine

The boys got a new submarine remote control toy. The had FUN chasing after it in the pools over the weekends :)
