Backlog: 2 Days 1 Night Stay @ The St Regis - 11/10/2009

1st peep into our room & welcome goodies.

There were 3 cupcakes but K & hubs gobbled them before

I could take pictures!!

Room & bathroom
K had fun staying indoors!

Must watch! Hahah! K's hilarious moves.

BTW, she was "singing" to Little Einsteins!
Breakfast in the hotel
Top left corner shows the Spa. Other pictures show the pool.

Here comes the water babe!!!

K kicked hard!


Daddy threw K up in the air!

K jumped from the edge of the pool! How gutsy!

Daddy booked a room at The St Regis because his Astor Card is to be expired in October and we only a month to utilise the freebies which were tagged with the card. The hotel really lives up to its reputation; it was nothing short of luxurious living. Along with the room, Daddy also booked a massage session for me at the Remede Spa. Yes, I went for spa while he took care of Krissa. How nice!! I thoroughly enjoyed the massage and the spa facilities. I will definitely return for another session soon.

The hotel room and bathroom were very spacious with ample space for Krissa to explore. Apart from the "hardware", the service level of the staff was impeccable. We had requested for someone to check on the airconditioner of our room as it was pretty warm although it had been on for quite a while. In under 5 minutes, the butler came to check and confirmed that the machine was working and explained that it had probably needed more time to cool the room. Nevertheless, he would return to check again in the next 30 minutes. We told him we would not be around but he said it was alright. When we were back about 2 hours later, we were pleasantly greeted with music in the background, bedroom slippers by the side of the bed, remote controls in a tray on our bed etc. and of course, the whole room was cool! Krissa had a great time too! She loves the tub...what else?! Hahaha...and the couch, bed, telephone, controls...hahaha!! How could I forget about the pool? K loves it alot!! Although the pool does not have any slides or even a designated baby pool, it was enough. Just look at the pictures and you will know why.

Both K and I fell in love with this hotel, no joke! Hence, Daddy has renewed his membership for another year. This time, we must make full use of the card!

Backlog: A Big & Warm Welcome to Caden!!

Caden - the latest addition to my big family! He was born on 02nd October 2009 and this goodlooker, my nephew *beam beam*, is son to my younger brother Wei and his wife Annie. Quite difficult for me to digest that my little brother is a daddy already, but I know he will make a great dad!!

Backlog: Kite Flying @ West Coast Park - 04/10/2009

Children's Carnival: Look at the innovative games!
Hahaha!! This picture looked so funny!! Trishelle was
very friendly but K was not at all appreciative.
Ryan found out how to use the tree to lessen his load. Hahha!!

Ryan setting up the kite & the girls had fun flying it!

So funny! They looked like they really knew how to fly a kite!

Kites soaring in the sky. Can you locate our kite?

It's the one under the black coloured kite.

The men flying their stunt kite. I especially like the picture of K

pointing to the kite which Daddy was flying.

The girls had loads of fun at the sandpit.
K really made herself at home!

Notice she walked everywhere barefooted?!

Hehhehe...that's my girl!

It was a bright, cheery Sunday morning. Indeed, it was a good day for flying kites! Letting K have a go at flying a kite has always been on my mind ever since we missed Act 3's Kite Flying Festival a few months back due to bad weather. We were joined by Auntie Joycelyn and family.

We chanced upon a children's carnival at West Coast Park as it was only a couple of days after Children's Day (1st October). I was in awe of the games/attractions at the carnival and can't resist posting some of the pictures here.

There was a kite for each family and we were so embarassed for we do not even know how to piece the kite together! Yes! We know nuts! Luckily a very nice uncle came to our rescue. I think he had probably ran out of patience to see the four of us cracking our brains, trying to figure where exactly should the metal attachments go. Hahhaha!!! My kite had a missing piece so this kite is coined a white elephant :( However, after our kite was setup properly, it was good to go!! As it was a windy day, the kite was literally heading to the skies as soon as the string was tied...quite effortless I should say and it flew pretty high:) The girls love the kite and tried their hands on it but I thought they love the sand pit, which is only a stone's throw away, more. Hubs also brought along his "antique" stunt kite which he bought in Australia ages ago and the men had a good time flying it. After the park, we went for lunch at West Coast Plaza.

I like West Coast Park more than East Coast Park because it has a big sandpit which the girls love and a big open field for flying kites and running about. The human traffic is significantly lesser than its counterpart; I do not have to worry that my girl may get in the way of the roller bladers, cyclist etc.

Backlog: End of Another Term @ Kids' Loft - 03/10/2009

So fast! Another term has gone by...swoosh!! The kiddos are happiest during the last day of each term because that's when they are allowed to indulge, K included:)

The children learnt about transportation this term. Guess which is Krissa's favourite mode of transportation? The TRAIN!! Choo! Choo!!! It must be the doing of one of her favourite books "Chugga-Chugga Choo-Choo". Apart from reading, I use this book to play "I Spy" with her too!

A Skirt Made of LOVE For My Lil' Gem - 01/10/2009

Krissa wearing my handmade skirt.
Pretty? Must work harder and practice more!

I am so proud of myself!! (**blush**)

Happy Children's Day!

The skirt which I have been learning to make for my baby has finally materialised and in time as a Children's Day present!! Yeah!! Quick, give me a cheer!! Hahahah!!! Not too bad for an amateur, right? (^_^)
