Weekend Getaway at Legoland (16-17 September 2017)

It was our second visit to Legoland and it has been 4 years from our first visit.
This time we went there with our friends especially our dear friend from Sydney, Thomas and Yulia.
We departed from our house around 9am and it was drizzling but thanks God the immigration check point was smooth sailing.
We arrived there around 10.30 am and the weather was nice and cooling, the rain has stopped and it's still cloudy.

We visited Lego city and let the kids explore different transportation there.
They tried car racing games, firefighters, airplane, boat, and train.
After that we had late lunch nearby.

After lunch, we moved to Imagination section where there was duplo city for toddlers and build and test kit for older kids.
We spent around 2 hours there and Richie and papa built lego car and won the racing car competition.
He was so proud with his achievement.

Then before we were leaving, we took photo with mini cities.

We had dinner at nearby restaurant before heading back to our serviced apartment.
We stayed at Somerset Medini which was only stone away. It was a nice and cosy apartment.
It's really recommended for family.

The next day, our friends children were swimming but we went back to Legoland area and Richie played hoverboard for 30 minutes.
Then we had lunch at dimsum restaurant before heading back to Singapore.
We left Johor Bahru around 2pm and reached home around 3pm, it was smooth sailing journey.

Thanks God for good weather, good health and fun together

Autumn Harvest at Garden by The Bay

Usually we went to flower dome at Garden By the Bay during spring time either cherry blossom or tulipe, this time round we visited Flower dome for Autumn harvest. There were many pumpkins at different size, color and type.
It would be more autumn feeling if they can plant maple tree with maple leaves there.

School Holiday Activity - Science Center

After we came back to Singapore, we still had one week before school started.
Mommy brought Richie and brothers to Science Center every day.
It's very affordable and nearby our house

On first day, we went to Kidstop for 1.5 hour play, then we went to Dino robot factory for another 1.5 hour play the next day and last day we went to Science Center Mirror Maze

Holiday in Bali (7 - 14 June 2017)

This was Richie's second trip to Bali for mid-year school holiday.
We were picked up by Oma Sian, Oma Happy and Opa Tjwan on our arrival. Then we celebrated Oma Cho's 87th Birthday at home.

The next day, we went to Bali Bidadari Batik where the local artists painted our white tshirt with traditional ink.
At night, mommy and daddy flew to Sydney for short trip getaway and left Richie and brothers under Oma and Opa's care.

During our absence, Oma Sian brought Richie to Tricked Eye museum and nearby malls and beach.
It seemed that they had fun.

When we arrived on Monday, we had dinner together as family then we went to Pandawa Beach and Hotel Mulia the next day.

It's kinda relaxing holiday but I was sure that they were having fun.

Outdoor exercise

This month we had two public holidays and we made use of the mornings with outdoor exercise.
On Labour day, we visited Bukit Timah Hill as we haven't been there for quite long.
It surprised us that it was very crowded around 9 am and the carpark was very full.
Fortunately, we got it one.
We underestimated the hills, without any warms up, we climbed up the steep hills by pushing the strollers.
We almost gave up, but we kept pushing on until reaching the first hut.

Then we continued our journey until the summit.
It was such achievement with 2 strollers and 3 kids.
After that we had brunch at the Grandstands for nice dimsum.

On Vesak day, we visited MacRitchie with Om Ferdi and Tante Friska. That morning was cloudy and drizzling, fortunately when we stepped out the car, the rain stopped and we could do our morning walk with peace and enjoying the scenery.

As usual, we had our brunch at the Grandstands after that
