Singapore Air Show 2012

Photobucket

This is the FIRST time we decided to bring the kids to check out the Singapore Air Show. The boys were excited to be able to see planes doing those aerobatic flying displays and thus I innocently brought the tickets for hubby and the 2 boys to get in there, not knowing that actually they can just watch the display too at Changi beach too! The girls were having competition and thus, its only "boys' outing".

Coincidentally, the officer that took picture with the boys shared the same name as Nicholas! Nicholas was so excited that he told his daddy that he wants to be like the officer too when he grows up!

Anyway, the 3 "man" enjoyed the flying displays most!

CNY break - Sentosa

I redeemed the Sentosa Play Pass with HSBC credit card's reward points and brought the 3 babies and my SIL down to Sentosa for a day of fun. Charmaine couldn't join us in the morning as school is a school day. Rachel's school as usual, gave them an extra day off and thus, she was able to join us in the morning. 

Hubby fetch us down to Mount Faber in the morning and we took a cable car to Sentosa. The cable car ride is included in the Play Pass and taking a cable car in means we do not need to pay for the Sentosa admission fee. The first thing we did when we got there was to redeem the return cable car tickets. Although the cable car is available till 10pm, but the Play Pass redemption is only till 7pm.

We did the less thrill stuff in the morning, leaving the thrill attractions in the afternoon when Charmaine & hubby joined us.

We took the Tiger Sky Tower, a thing that we will not bother trying if its not included in the Play Pass as its super boring.

Next, we proceeded to the Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom. The kids, except my SIL who ran away every time a butterfly got near her, enjoyed looking at the beautiful butterflies.

Next, we took the free Sentosa shutter bus down to Resort World where the Maritime Museum is located. Its quite an experience in there and had fun in the multi-sensory Typhoon Theatre!

By the time we are done with the Museum, its lunch time and we went to the Malaysian Food Street near the entrance of USS.
There was a long queue and we were half-hearted to join. But Rachel said the queue was moving fast and when she peeked in, there were lots of empty seats. Food we ordered there:
Penang Lim Brothers’ Char Koay Teow

The 3 girls went for the Flying Trapeze too. Here a video of Charmaine doing it.


Next, we visited the Images of Singapore. We spend a good time there looking at the exhibits.

Then the kids went for all the shows (DESPERADOS in 3D; Pirate @ 4D Magix; Extreme Log rides @ Cineblast)

We end the day doing the Skyline Luge before heading back home via cable car.

Universal Studios Singapore...again!

Hubby brought the 3 kids to Universal Studio today...he been nagging at me for not giving him a chance to spend some time with the kids..hahahaha... and so his wish was finally granted today! He seized the opportunity to bring them to USS and freed me to do my shopping and some Me-Time.

He took these pictures of the girls doing rock climbing...


That's Rachel reaching the top and below was Charmaine trying to catch up with her sister.

MGS Funfair 2011

At the MGS Funfair...

This year, the girls' school held a Mega funfair to raise funds. Usually, its only for the girls and during school hours but this year, its open to public and a near full day event. The girls invited friends and relatives over and they remarked that its a very beautiful school...big, spacious, clean and nice... I raised both hands and legs in complete agreement!

The event took us months to plan and organize. I was in-charge of the Tattoo station and only managed to sneak out to accompany the kids for a while. The girls didn't need me to be with them...they had their own coupons (bought with their own pocket money). Hubby took care of the 2 boys and they love the train and the F1 most.

Marina Bay Sands...Here we come!!

16th - 18th October 2011

Exams finally OVER!!! Hubby got a room at Marina Bay Sands for 2 nights and the kids were all so excited to go. The kids couldn't wait to check out the Sky Pool and when they did, they went "wow"!

For the next 2 days, we swam there and check out Marina Square (hadn't been there for a long long time). Even went for a bowling session...in summary, we all had a good break after the exam battle.

Nice view from up here...

Little one here just recovered from flu, so he only gets to play for a while...

The 3 babies with the sunset as a backdrop...

Playing with the camera mode... (Expressive mode)

A family photo...

On the last day, Charmaine had to go back to school in the morning. Hubby brought the rest for a last dip in the pool before we check out.

Hari Raya Puasa Carnival

My sis invited us to her church carnival. Its my first time stepping into her church and gosh! Its huge! The funfair was held at their "ballroom" and I must say this is one of the most beautifully decorated/designed funfair I ever went. They have lots of creative ideas and games and all designed and done up by themselves (shall come to that later).

We first looked for my sis's stall and the kids were excited to see their aunt and cousins. They were each given some coupons (FOC) to go around. They tried their hands on decorating their own cookies and cupcake. See, even Nicholas is giving a try with the decoration.

Rachel tried on the chef's hat...

Nicholas and his ...erhm...decorated shark.

Rachel and her LOVEly cupcake...

This 2 belongs to Charmaine. She just loves doing it. I like her tortoise..so sweet.

While Charmaine was busy decorating her cookies, Rachel and the 2 boys went on the bouncy castle. See how motherly she is. She was protecting her little brother the whole time up there. Thanks sweet heart!

now shall introduce all the creative ideas I see there... The name of this is "Save Baby Moses!" They used the eggs tray and painted them. Green for grassland; blue for river; brown for desert. The kids were given balls to throw and only those landed on the blue coloured scored points. The highest scorer for that hour will win a big prize.

Then, the kids give a try on the mini golf but only Charmaine managed to score.

Nicholas and daddy team

The name for this game is "Sin No More!" and there were 7 bottles with the "sins" written on each one. The kids were supposed to thrown ball and knocked them down.


This "Hunny Pot Challenge" was easy game for them. All they need to do was to throw the ball into the pot and they allow little ones like Nicholas & Ryan to go right next to it. I think their objective was to gives away as many honey stick as possible! hahaha...What I want to bring to attention was that the entire board was own made..meaning they drew, cut and paste everything themselves! Amazing artist.

But the most creative and HOT one must be this...Angry Bird.

They uses thick stick to make the slingshot and the kids will fire the mini Angry Birds toy at the evil green pigs. Its tough but still kids were queuing to play. They have a simpler version for the young ones. All the young ones need to do is to throw the Angry Birds toy at the pig but still, my darling Nicholas had difficulty knocking down even one.

Consolation prize for the girls - Angry Bird badge. They are really crazy over this Angry Birds thingy...*faint*

Fisher of Men was actually "fishing" out the sweets with a tiny net. Look deceived. Its not easy at all but they were very sweet not to disappoint the kids by hand placing some into the net just before the time was up.

They have testimonials in between. A good way to share with non-believers in non-invasive manners. Besides games, of course there were food and drinks stall which goes out pretty fast.

Verdict : 8.5/10 The kids enjoyed very much and went home with bagfuls of sweets!
