Vive le famille

it’s june holiday! and daddy suggested to bring the kids for a short trip.. the usual ideas to cruise and genting is a nah from the kids. moreover they just went hongkong on the last holidays. the kids straight away yelling for universal studio instead. i was like..good idea! why not? we can have a staycation in singapore!!

checked all resort world’s hotel availability and managed to book 2 family suite with festive hotel! but only for a night. but still, i love family day! dad promised to come along as well! *mad happy! =DD

checked in on a sunday, and the intended universal studio on monday (less people as well!). specifically took leave on monday too.! :)
dad broke his promise, only told us that he is not joining us in the morning. i'm so upset!! persuaded him to come at least for dinner, and yes, he say will reach the hotel at 6pm then.

brought the kids and mama to sentosa, palawan beach in the morning before we checking in hotel at 3pm. the kids has endless energy, the sun is killing me. and thus, mama and myself hide under the trees at all times. the sound of the sea and the touch of the sands is heaven, lying down on the beach mat, reading my storybook is breathtaking. little janelle enjoyed herself too! *peck her cheek!

all the way till 2nish, the kids are all drenched! get dressed and we pop to festive hotel and we were all thrilled over the huge hotel rooms. little janelle is so tired after the morning beach fun, and she knock out for her nap once sis cuddled her to bed while we bring the rest for swimming! my sleeping steak is kicking as well though. but still, 3Js pestering us to bring them to swimming pool. we done at 5nish, at the same time waiting for daddy to reached at 6pm. i'm so worried, worry that daddy will put us aero-plane! so, called him at 5nish, and he say okok. called him again at 6nish.. as usual, we waited till 7nish and he is finally here. GREAT! straight away went hard rock café for early father’s day dinner, my first time to hard rock café, so as most of us except babe shamus!

we had a great dinner together, and thanks to 2brother for the meal. the foods are yummi!
Photobucket
dad and mom keep asking me to take them when lying on the bed!!..
ermmms. haha!

i was like.. ok.. enough of this scene already!.
Photobucket
brought daddy back to our hotel, and asked him to stay over, but he say "no". so 2 suite, and we have 2 maids sleeping on the sofa bed, 4 kids to a king size bed in one room. brother last minute staying over and ended up we have 4 adults squeezed to 1 king size bed. phewww..and that of with babe fat boy as well! haha.

told the kids to sleep early because we have got a long day to universal studio on the next day, but i guess they were just so excited and can’t bear to end the night early. whilst we just pop to casino for the rest of the night!! the idea of losing 100 bucks even before you went in to casino is always so demoralizing! lost 125 bucks on that night though, but with daddy won 3k and woots! our night stay at RWS and the universal studio were covered!!

mommy lost 400nish bucks as well, so she say, on the next morning she want to recoup back her lost and so do i! went down to casino early in the morning 9nish. just within 1 hour, 900 bucks added! *mad happy! gave mommy 200 bucks to cover her lost though. wheeee~

alrights, rushed back to the hotel for checking out and universal studio. everyone are keyed up for the day activities!
little joelle's luggage is so cute!!

my sis, just 1 night and the big luggage is exaggerating!

universal studio, here we come~!
starting with the first world to madagascar! we completed almost all the rides, sis and i brought big J for her first roller coaster ride too at the enchanted airways then revenge of the mummy. good job, girl. and she want more! 3brother joined us in the late afternoon as well. sis, bro and i completed the battlestar galactica rides too.

didn’t managed to take the battlestar galactica rides on my first visit due to maintenance, and the ride was not opened yet. and this time, we did it. the blue cylon and the red human. it was so awesome! the blue gives the suspended coaster goes up, around and upside down with intense corkscrew and a cobra roll. 90 seconds for each ride is really an awesome one, a must-try ride!

we bought the express pass for all of us at 30 bucks each, and basically our waiting time for all the rides are almost immediately. it’s worth it, comparing to some 45 minutes queuing time.

hongkong part two

if you notice, previous hongkong post i stated part one. that’s means i’ve got part two coming up too. haha! but i'm really too lazy~

alright, here we go. 5 girls in action, with myself, peiwen, jasmine, winnie and chermaine in the first 2 photos below. before we take off..bakkwas are our snacks through out the flight. and thanks to the bakkwa, made our lunch a better one. (food on plane is not nice!! oops, haha!)

hongkong 6 days has been a fruitful one! day 2 to zhuhai was madness. planned to take the earliest ferry that of 7.30am, and which means 6.30am we need to reach the terminal to zhuhai?

haha
, and of cos, we didn’t make it! took 8.30am ferry instead, arrive at zhuhai 1 hour later. took our own sweet time to eat our breakfast before starting to find our way to the underground shopping centre. we got a hard time finding the shopping mall, end up 误打误撞 and finally found our way there at 11nish. the moment we got there, we split into 2 groups and started our crazily shopping feat.

got our return tickets when we arrive at zhuhai, and the last ferry was at 5.30pm. thus, we need to gather and return to the terminal by 4.30pm! basically the shopping spree was non-stop, we did not stopped for lunch nor toilets in between. totally salute to all the girls when they are having shopping battle including myself.!! haha.

kept watching over the time, and rushing from one shop to another shop. phew. our loots weighs a ton!! 3 girls = 3 big mainland bags! came across this couple and they even asked us where are we setting up our stall. *bursting out with laughter. haha
Photobucket
this is just half of our loots:
Photobucket
and for sure, hotel stay without beers is no no for the 3 of us. cheers!
Photobucket

our legs almost broke! no joke. so, on our day 3 - we decided to go easy! we went to a nearby restaurant for some dim sum, that recommended by our hotel front manager. the ambience was good, but the food is no no.. perhaps, the road side stalls is more suitable for me!

met winnie’s hongkong friend for dinner and a couple of drinks thereafter. he also brought us to some nearby shopping mall, their clothes are really nice but a little too pricey though, still we got something there!

the carefree life in overseas is always oh-so-good, i mean at least for shopping, except the worrying part about the credit cards bills aftermath. haha.

day 5 at lai chi kok was another fruitful return! super like the real leather envelop bag i got it from there at sg 40nish bucks, though a little heartache but I adore it muchie. i think we really need more rest after the few days battle on the streets and lan kwai fang.

next stop, to the victoria peak – the madame tussunds. it was raining, and ended up we have got only 2 umbrellas. we were all wet when we actually walked up the terminal station.

alas, didn’t manage to went up to the sky park again, cos of the rain.
