September School Holiday Activity - Sandsational Sentosa

Last Sunday was the last school holiday and since this week, the weather has been crazy, I couldn't promise and stick to outdoor activity with the kids so I told Richie and the brothers, if the weather was nice, we will go to sentosa to see Marvel Sandsational but if it's raining we will abort the plan and go indoor.

Thanks God, eventhough in the first half day, the weather was not friendly, it turned out cooling and cloudy in the afternoon so after the kids woke up from their afternoon nap, I brought them to Sentosa.
The good news was it's FREE ENTRY, the bad news was because it's free entry, everyone also going there and the carpark at beach station was full.

So I tried my luck to go to Imbiah carpark and hoping there's available slot. And tada... I found few slots and we parked there. I was happy at first without knowing that the location of the sandsational event was near at Shangrilla Rasa Sentosa.

I walked with the three minions from imbiah to the other end of Sentosa. Luckily there were many things to see so they were not complain except Ted who asked me to carry him after we almost reaching the location.

We went in there, it's not so crowded, we took some pictures with our favourite marvel character and I knew the kids will complain if we headed straight back to carpark after walking almost 30 minutes and spending only 15 minutes there, so I prepared the armour, buying them a bag of popcorn and one cold drink shared among three, it's damn expensive, they were jacking up the price like there's no tomorrow.

After fully recharge, we walked back another 30 minutes to carpark.

Then, we went to Vivocity to have dinner and see tsum tsum lantern.
After dinner at kolomee, we went up to skypark and it's a lot of people. They were queueing for the tunnels and photo points.
Luckily, our kids are all boys, they were not so excited about tsum tsum so we just walked around and went back home after the trio complaint very tired especially the legs haha...

A Story of Pet Fishes

Almost 3 weeks ago, Tromson and Ted had field trip to fish farms, both went to different fish farm and end of the field trip, each of them carried a fish tank with full of small fishes. They were excited but not for me. I was reluctant to bring those fishes home because they surely die by the next few days since I was not a pet nanny type.

But seeing how excited and happy they were without knowing that the fishes may die the next day, I brought two fish tanks full of fishes home. Total was 18 small fishes.

I didn't have a heart to see the fish die or flush them into toilet bowl, so I played along buying the cheapest fish food in the pet shops to make the kids happy.
In my mind, I told myself, I already done my best to take care the fishes with a little knowledge that I had, at least if they die, they will die naturally, peacefully and with dignity and I didn't feel guilty.

As expected, the next days, the fish died one after another and fortunately the kids were not too emotional when they saw the dead fishes. Every day I was like having another "baby", feeding and cleaning the tanks and the sh*t.

Until 10 days later, Richie exclaimed mama, I saw baby fishes in one of fish tank, I was like, are you sure ? may be it's poop. For me, it's like a miracle if the fish can breed new life in those condition. But he said, yes it's baby fishes and when I went to have a look, it's really baby fishes and they were a lot. But most or all of them were like dying baby fishes, so I cleaned up the fish tanks and thrown away all dead fishes.

And as days went by, one by one died and left with three survivors who survived until yesterday.
Tromson came to me and told me that one fish has died, ok so I told myself, one tank gone,I only need to take care one fish tank but he continued, but I saw baby fishes. I was like WHATTT ?? AGAIN ??

Quickly I came to have a look and yes, one adult fish died and many baby fishes were surround it, it's like dying so I told them I will clean up the tank and left with two fishes in other tank, then Richie told me, mama you need to save the baby fishes who were still alive, I didn't notice at first but when Richie asked me to wait patiently that few of them were moving, they really was.

I had a hard time to separate the survivor babies and the dead one because they were so tiny, anyway I managed to save 4 baby fishes. So one adult died, 4 new life emerged.

I was like, God, You must be joking with me, within 3 weeks, I saw fishes breed new life not once but twice.
