Stay Vacation @ Festive Hotel...... Day 2......

Day 2...

My brother and his GF joined us in our hotel room, and together, we visited Universal Studios Singapore. All thanks to complimentary entrance tickets from one of the credit card promotions as well as from RWS invites.

We went around taking pictures with almost all the mascot we can find... The big bunny took most of the rides with me, including the Transformer... 3 cheers for him for his courage!!! The little bunny is abit too short, hence can only make way for the shows... I am sure we will be back next time, when little bunny grows older...

We were among the last few to exit the theme park... =D
Ended the day at Sentosa with a good dinner at Seafood Republic...

Stay Vacation @ Festive Hotel...... Day 1......

2 weekends ago, we went for a stay vacation with my parents and sister at Festive Hotel, RWS. We booked a Deluxe Family King room to accommodate all 5 adults and 2 kids...

Day 1...

We checked in the hotel at about 4plus... Went for some afternoon tea at MacDonalds... Went around visiting the shops, and taking photos with the M&M characters at Candylicious... Dinner was at Imperial Treasures, too bad the restaurant no longer served our fav Peking Duck... We ended the night with rides on cable car... Expensive but totally worth the experience... The 1st for the boys and the big bunny was super excited....

Chill time at MacDonalds... Meaning photos time!!!

一次“痛”的经历

I have been having this pain on my back, somewhere near the lower spine area on and off, ever since I gave birth to the bunnies... When the pain comes, I will just need to apply my reliable salon pass and the pain will go away the next morning... But... The pain will come back again.

Couple of days back, I followed my parents to this 中医师 at Yishun for him to help me take a look at my back.... After the looking & pressing on back, his conclusion... My spine is tilted... Yes..."TILTED"...

He said there could be hundred of reasons why it happen and here's some..

~ During pregnancy, due to the weight of baby too heavy for me

~ Could have injured my spine back then when I slipped and fell (happened to me twice... and both on the stairs

~ Long term carrying posture of the bunnies with preference on one side (and yes, that is the side that is tilted)

~ etc etc etc

What the 中医师 did... he massaged, pushed, pulled and finally 拔罐 to adjust back my spine... only one word to describe the experience... PAINFUL... so painful that my tears started flowing. The big bunny even asked me, "Mummy, why are you crying"...

For now, I have to careful not to carry the bunnies too much and sit on any chair that is too soft... Hopefully, the adjusted spine won't be tilted again...

Sorry, but no photo for my experience...

Dear tried out 拔罐 too as his neck are often stiff from prolonged sitting down and using the laptop... Useful or not, we shall see....

Day 2 of 拔罐

Day 4 of 拔罐... the "cup marks" start to subside

I Can Spell !!!

Though I am a FTWM, I will try to spend some time to engage the bunnies in one activity or two after I knocked off from work... Since the beginning of the year, the big bunny had been learning how to write his name, both English and Chinese... Familiarise himself with all the 26 alphabets and learning the numbers 1 to 20... And working on some theme projects like knowing myself and my family, as well as body parts etc...

His Sat enrichment class at Teacher Bernard's is working with him on his phonics at the moment... At home, I started to teach the big bunny how to spell...  I am quite happy that he made some great progression recently... Proud mummy =D

Spelling test : one... two... three... four...

Spelling test : five...

Happy Birthday, 外婆!!

Had a mini celebration to celebrate Granny's bday at home... The bunnies loved singing the Happy Birthday song, as well as blowing out the candles... Can't wait for the "big" celebration during our stay-vacation in Sentosa this upcoming weekend...

The birthday gal & the hubby... Sweet!!!

Grandparents and Grandkids... Simply love this photo...

Our little bunny trying to blow out the candles... Can feel the "hoof" but not strong enough to blow out the candles yet... 加油, son... Maybe by year end, during 阿姨 birthday, you can do it... =)



We Are Little Firemen!!!

We brought the bunnies to Sengkang Fire Station open house last Saturday during the Deepavali public holiday. It's the bunnies' 1st as well as Mummy. Two "E"s for us... Educational and Exciting!!!

Our visitor pass for the morning

Little bunnies posing in front of a fire engine... Kaden even got a free fireman's hat...

Hands on for the bunnies at the fire hose as well as the "mist gun"...

End of the tour : A family pic with the heros "The Firemen"

Side note : We missed the chance of getting up the raising platform (cos the big bunny is scared of the height and the small bunny is not tall enough) to have a feel of what the firemen will see high above. We shall visit the fire station again when the boys are a little older. Mummy's bucket list : I must step foot on that platform... Ke ke ke

Persist On, We Shall..... Cross Our Fingers....=D

S.E.A Aquarium

Finally, we stepped foot into the latest attraction of Sentosa... The S.E.A Aquarium... and we managed to do that after a 4.5 hr queue, together with our best family friends, the House of Js...phew...

While in the queue, Kaden got entertained by Jovin & Jovan but poor Reyes... super bored to death...

 

But if you look at the happy smiles on everbody faces when we were inside... I must say the 4.5hrs wait is worthwhile..... at the point of time... ke ke ke... But ask me to go back again for another 4.5hrs queue to get in... Sorry, not my cup of tea...
