Wang Animal Farm: June 2011

FUN means Family Unite Now! and here are our FUN activities starting from Apr this year... Yeah!

8th ~ 10 Apr: Chalet & BBQ @ Downtown East

With a bursting cabin size luggage and our almost 18 mth girl, we kick started our chalet stay in wild wild wet. That was the perfect activity for fighting the blazing Spore sun and thanks to my company (ex company as we speak now), entrance (for 5) was free. Yippee.

Dinner on our first night was BBQ sambal stingray, sambal prawns, sambal sotong and rice with sambal! I was surprised that I didn't have to sleep in the toilet that night. The cool weather makes dinner taste better. But of course Rachel still needs lower temp than that. Look at her 'shiok' face when she gets fanned.

Breakfast next morning at MacDonald's for myself and my helper! Rachel had milk already but she loves their hash brown which I limit as I find them too salty for toddler. Shouldn't Mac think of better kids breakfast? since they have happy meal from lunch time onwards.

We then headed for thrilling rides with full tummies!

Of course, we had to have equally thrilling yet suitable rides for Rachel.

Daddy Shawn (finally out from reservist) then joined us that evening for another round of yummy BBQ. This time the real party begins with all the standard sambal specials as well as juicy lamb chops, perfect honey wings, endless servings of satays.... (enough of the details because I'm drooling!!!).

We also had treasure hunt that evening. However, it was not a game. If not for my bro's eagle eyes, we would have lost a diamond pendant. Phew!

2oth Apr: Sakae Sushi @ TradeHub 21

Shawn suggested this place to celebrate Rachel's 18th month because there was a playground. Rachel didn't enjoy the swing initially but as usual, she was so hooked in the end, she refused to go home. So we had to flex our little muscles and do some coaxing to get her out. :P

23rd Apr: Cycling @ ECP

5 girls and 2 boys to ECP on a windy Sat. It was our first attempt to have Rachel ride with us on a bicycle. It was such an enjoyable experience, we went back again within a month. :)

Below are the 5 girls... (looks overage as girls? who says!)

The 2 boys with their princesses...

Having her in front of my ride was blissful, especially when the cool breeze carried my darling's scent towards me. To clarify, darling here refers to Rachel. I wouldn't want to smell my hubby sweaty scent. :P

While waiting for the boys to return the bikes, we spotted a girl throwing tantrums at her mum/aunt. Our curious little Rachel and Fay looked on...

8th May: Zoo

Been to a few zoos in the region and Spore zoo is one of the best! But the weather makes the sightseeing challenging. Good thing they have the kids water play and I did not need to think to jump into the water with Rachel.

Rachel with flushed cheek from the sun while Penguins sit comfortably in their air conditioned home... envious!

At the new pet show for kids.

Water play time!

27th May: Exploring Sentosa

I was guilty of leaving Shawn and Rachel alone that weekend while I flew off to Hong Kong to join 2 girlfriends for a short breather trip (yes, need it badly!). But our hubbies didn't waste time waiting for us to come back. Instead, they arranged their own island hopping to Sentosa for bonding time. I must say it was a 360 degrees bond. The daddies and daughters definitely bonded. The girls bonded, the daddies bonded and uncles/girls bonded too!

As for me and my girlfriends, we were bonded right from the start with common clear goals. Shop till we drop (broke!) and eat till shiok. It did happen. My spine nearly broke and our wallets emptied! Ha. Stay tune for the Hong Kong post.

Back to the 2 daddies and their little ones...

Picking Movenpick as last stop of the jungle trail?
