Our 3rd Staycation as a family of 4

We felt that it would be too tough to bring the girls for a overseas trip as Kerri is still not sleeping well throughout the night and can be quite a handful to handle. So we opted for yet another staycation.

Alas, it rained pretty much the whole time we were there, except for a 2-3 hours pocket, whereby we went for Kae's favorite activity - swimming.

To her, a staycation equates to fun which equates to swimming. Hah. And to think we have a pool just downstairs in our estate.

And of course, I had to entertain the little tigress while the sister was swimming around happily.

Dinner was at The Tanjong Beach Club. And I think we should just stick to going there during sunny days in the daytime.

It was a total washed out day the following day, and we just relaxed in the room after breakfast. And breakfast was not good either.

Last Movie for 2011

Our last movie for 2011 was New Year's Eve at the newly opened Golden Village located at I12 Katong.

It's a feel good movie, well ain't all festive movies, but somehow, I find it a tad boring. The only twist I didn't see coming was the coupling of Josh Duhamel and Sarah Jessica Parker, and father daughter Robert De Niro and Hilary Swank.

I need another festive movie as good as Love Actually!

Kerri's 1st Dip

Kerri has been loving water play at Julia Gabriel's, so we reckon it was time for her first dip at the pool.

She was quite hesitant really, but at least she did not resist staying in the water.

After a while, she got used to the water and seemed to enjoy the aqua environment she's submerged in. More water adventures to come I hope.

Mandatory Start

What am I addicted to, and must have every morning right after I wake?

Coffee, of course!

Hong Kong Extended

The view from our room at W hotel.

We woke and headed out early for some last minute shopping before our flight in the afternoon. And to have our last bowl of wanton mee in HK.

Okay, so this is not really a standard bowl of wanton mee. It has wantons, fish paste ball, and beef slices. Not too bad, just that I thought the fish paste ball tasted weird as they added orange peel into the paste.

And so we went to the airport happily waiting to board our flight home to see our girls.

Who would have thought the trip home became an ultimate nightmare.

Long long long story short: Our flight was scheduled to depart at 320pm. At around 420pm, yes, we were still waiting in the plane, we were informed that there will be a delay as there was a technical fault which they were trying to fix. At 515pm, we were told to disembark from the plane as the plane cannot be flown. At 630pm, we are told that they need to wait for the spare parts to fly in from Singapore, and the estimated time of departure has been pushed to 1130pm. In the end, we departed around close to midnight, and reached Singapore at 4am. Argh! So much for refusing to take Tiger Airways as I was afraid that there will be delays which we cannot afford because of our very tight schedule.

Thank you SQ.
