Staycation @ Hard Rock Sentosa

bean has a fascination with hotels..she is somehow able to pick out a hotel when she sees one and then she will ask why we are not staying in it :P. so imagine her happiness when we told her we were staying a night at the sentosa hard rock hotel.



we spent most of our time at their cool kid friendly pool with its sandy bottom. bean had fun at the slide and jacuzzi while hayley busied herself with sand play.





At night, we headed out and ate at the nearby Imperial xiao long bao which btw, serves a really good ziao long bao. must better than din tai fong IMO. and then we walked around the waterfront and chanced upon the Dance of the Crane watershow. loved the symphony of colours, lights with water and the mini fireworks at the end was a nice finishing touch.



After the show, I took hayley home and left bean with jin at the hotel. our little mini bean still wakes up before dawn (5.30am!) for her milk so figured that we should not deprive the whole family of sleep .

Next morning, after more pool time, we checked out and headed to the newly opened Malaysian Food Street. we had the chow kuey teow, KL HokKien noodles which was bad but thankfully the cendol and bakery items like the siew bao, chicken pie passed our msian tastebuds test.



After, we took a long stroll along the Sentosa boardwalk back to vivo city where i had parked the car. Have to say that the whole place was done up quite nicely with a shaded path and great views.

Until our next staycation...

Egg Hunting in style

Pat got the kids these fluffy bunny head gear..love it!

we decided come rain or shine , we will have our easter egg hunt and that we did..on the huge huge lawn at the uTown campus.











After the kids checked out their loots, and popped jellybeans into their mouths, we headed to the nice study tables and dyed the kampung chicken eggs brought by Pat. we were the only table having the most fun. bet we were the envy of all the studying folks seated around us.


dip dip dip..and taadaa..a coloured egg

sidenote : i was just looking at what we did last easter ..see how much bean has grown! oh i do miss her chubby cheeks.

The world thru Bean's eyes

Bean is always cracking me up. today I took her to a music accessment class and told her the teacher's name is Ms Gan. she let out a stream of laughter and I did not know why. Later while we were walking back, she said, "but mummy, the teacher will spray water at me!" and I said "why do you say that?" and she promptly replied " bcos her name is Ms GUN" ...lol

and you know the Christmas Christian song which goes, "Oh come let us Adore HIM"..soph's version is "Oh come lets get a doggie". ...LOL

and every day when she gets ready for her noon nap, she says " mummy, i only want to sleep 2 minutes ok? wake me up in 2 minutes"..and her 2 minutes actually means 2 hours! kids just have no concept of time.

Now when she wants something and if the answer is No, she will say "but you know when people ask for something politely, you have to give them"..yes, indeed!

how i wish I can Freeze these beautiful moments forever.
