The Sentosa Luge

It's been some time since we last visited Sentosa Luge.

Us getting ready for the ride! Even Nick and Grace were so excited.. 

But hor, the mummy is having cold feet!!

Nick was just so excited and cannot wait to get onto the Luge.. :P

After Q-ing for some time, well.. Here we come.. :)

While mummy was busy pulling the handle to slow down the Luge, Grace was helping me to push it forward so that it can go faster. She just kept shouting "mummy go faster, go faster.. Must win papa.. Cannot let papa reach first..!!" It was so fast that her helmet almost flew off!

Sunny Island, Sentosa (Day 2)

The monkies always have this problem with their alarm clocks.. 

  

On weekdays, mummy and daddy will have to keep nagging at them to wake up.. However on weekends, they never fail to wake up at 7am! Argh.. 

  

7.30am, we were the first few at the hotel restaurant, waiting for the restaurant to set up their buffet spread.. 

  

By 8.30am, the monkies were ready to have fun.. We headed out to the hotel pool for a morning swim first.. Then went back to bath (that's the main reason y we were there remember? :P)

  

We headed to the Sentosa Luge and skyride for some excitement.. Mummy and Grace shared a Luge, Daddy and Nick were on another while Sam had a chance to go on it alone..

1st round, we had a leisure glide down the slope. Then we took a skyride to head back to the top. 2nd round, the 3 luge decided to have a race down the slope, with daddy and Nick in the 1st place, mummy and Grace in the 2nd while Sam was the last.. He wasn't too happy about it so on the 3rd and last trip down on the luge, he made a mad dash for it going down the slope all the way without braking! As expected, daddy and Nick came in 1st place, Sam was 2nd, mummy and Grace were last.. :P

  

After the 3 rounds, it was almost time for us to check out of the room, so we took a leisure walk back, bath (again) before checking out and head home.. 

  

The monkies had such a great time that Nick asked if we can return to Sentosa again soon! :)

All Thanks to the Stinky Portaloo.. (Part 1)

It wasn't something that mummy and daddy had planned..  Mummy woke up on Saturday morning, asking Grace to remove their clothes and go to bathroom did she then realize that it was IMPOSSIBLE for 2 person to fit into the portaloo!! 

  

As usual, not much convincing was needed for mummy to convince daddy they needed to find a place to bath the kids for the weekend, so mummy proceed to her study room, hid in there for 10mins before reappearing infront of daddy informing him the room have been BOOKED.. :)

  

Of cos the cheeky monkies were excited when they saw mummy packing their clothes, pajamas and swimming wear, couldn't stop probing where are we going to bring them to.. Nick's favourite question has always remain as "Are we going to stay in a hotel?", Grace's one is "we going swimming?" and Sam's one was "mummy, did u remember to pack the passport?"

  

Once we are done with packing, we hurried the workers to work faster so that they can leave and we could lock up.. :)

  

By 2pm, we were out of the house, in the car, ready to move off with the kids still questioning us where are we heading too.. :P Cannot help but to realize that our Nick is so grown up cos the moment we turn into ECP, he already told us we are not going to Johor Bahru.. And the ECP is to lead us to the beach, the Singapore Flyer, Suntec City, Sentosa, Science Centre etc.. 

 

The car turned out at the vivo exit and Nick instantly say "I know we are going Sentosa!!" and then he started making plans on where he wants to go in Sentosa, from the underwater world, to Dolphin Lagoon etc.. 

  

Once we parked at the hotel, checked-in, the kids couldn't stop nagging they wanted to go swimming! So off we went with them in their swimming gear to the Palawan Beach.. 

Grace and daddy fighting for a piece of biscuit..

Nick playing with water..

Nick wanted to blow bubbles into the water, but ended up drinking a little too much water..

Grace "practicing" her Miss Singapore poses..

The monkies had a great time splashing water at each other..

After playing the whole afternoon at the Palawan beach, mummy, daddy and the 3 monkies took a tram ride back to the hotel, wanting to take a short nap, but somehow, the monkies were so energetic that we decided to go for dinner before catching a show at Songs of the sea.. Silly camera of all times had to fail us as we ran out of battery and we have left the charger at home.. :(

And after the show, we took a slow stroll back to the hotel. :)  

  

The 3 monkies were by now a little too tired to put up a protest and dozed off almost instantly the moment they got changed into their pajamas.. 

Stay tune for Day 2 (without photos again ):  )
