It was undoubtedly a well planned trip to Singapore for the Family, children & Myself. A little tiring but it is all worth it, in fact, I don't mind to do it again!
20th April 2013
6am
Everyone was getting ready to depart from home for a 4 hour road trip to Singapore for Baby Julian's Fullmoon bash on Sunday. The girls were exceptionally excited as they were looking forwards to meet Fei Fei & Baby Julian again.
10:30am
We arrived Singapore Day's Hotel. We did not notify the hotel of the early arrival, and thus they were not able to give us a room. After making a fuss over the counter, BeBe was helpful enough to get me ONE room for us.
11:30am
Checked in and freshening up the girls.
12:30noon
Arrived Tanglin Mall!!!!! Tanglin Mall for the Coffee!!! Again! and of course Lunch. Aunty Kristin & Uncle Dan were there too, the girls had so much fun talking to Uncle Dan about Disney Princesses. Oh, Uncle Dan is a fan of Prince Phillips, Sleeping Beauty's prince charming.
Finally, the girls MET again!!
Girls are usually shy, three of them needed time to warm up. FeiFei was hiding behind Mommy, and my girls were greeting softly. After their tummy got filled up with food, they started to "snatch" a book (FeiFei's) from each other. Not sure if it's a good start, but at least they started to interact. They are all afterall very nice girls, eventually they resorted it by "SHARING"!
Hand in hand happily shopping in Tanglin Mall.
2:30pm - After lunch, Aunty Elaine sent us to another mall for an indoor play. Hmm.. I complained so much about KL's entrance fees, wait till you come to Singapore, then you will know! The gym is reasonable sized, enough for the kids to play and definitely enough space for 3 mini parties which actually took place when we checked into the Jungle Gym. KL's play gyms are slightly bigger for a cheaper price. It was so crowded but surprisingly still manageable, unlike KL, somehow it is usually a bit rowdy when it gets crowded. Weird! It must be the parents' attitudes. :P Hey, I am not Pro Singaporean, nor degrading KLite, I am just speaking by the matter of fact. Maybe it was just the crowd at the time of my visit? I should not stereotype? I don't know! It is just my very own personal view.
4:00pm - Time for the children to get back for a nap. We were back to the hotel.
This little girl got up the moment she was dropped to the hotel's mattress. She wanted her Milk in a cup, and sipping away happily and so proud of herself for not using her Milk Bottle. Hahahaha...So cute!
7pm - My mom brought the girls along to visit Baby Julian and have home-cooked dinner at Ah Gu's place, while, MaMa & PaPa went out for a JUST-ADULT dinner at one of the Italian Restaurant in Holland Village. Don't remember the Restaurant Name, and I am not going to google it because it was OK for its price! (Well, again! Singapore Ma!) It's REALLY good to be TOGETHER again, three of us. It's been a long long long long time.
Photo taken by iphone in the night, this is the best shot we could get.
BUT STILL, we all look darn GOOD! :P
The story did not end here. Hahahaha... While Dan was trying to flag us a cab, my phone rang!!! I don't usually receive calls anymore! ESPECIALLY NOT in the midnight. It was 12:30am already, if it rang, it must be from home! or my mom! It was my mom, and she called and told us that Little C vomited three times. Geezz...the last thing I want for the night! It was a really FULL DAY for me, with this incident happening in the night, noone is expecting to SLEEP well. We took a cab back to hotel, and inquired from the driver for the nearest emergency hospital/clinic.
Apparently, the K.K. Women & Children Emergency care is 10 minutes away by car. So, we went up to my mom's room and checked on both girls. Big C was totally in her slumberland, while Little C was looking weak & sleepy. We registered ourself in K.K.Emergency Care, You will be amazed by the crowd. We were getting a little impatient, and Little C told us that she wanted to go back to her sleep. We were there with her for almost an hour, she did not purge or any sign of uncomfortable. I was quite sure Little C had a minor food poisoning. We decided to pull out and get back to the hotel. BUT, the procedure is you will be able to get a refund and permission to leave only if the nurse confirmed that you are fit to leave. Yes, we have to pay upon registration before consultation/advise.
So, a nurse checked on Little C's temperature, alright! then checked on Little C's oxygen level. The normal reading should be 95 and Little C was on 93-94, and the doctor refused to release us, not to mentioned the refund. The doctor told us that she can't release us because the child is not fit! So, the doctor sent us to another room to use the nebulizer to increase Little C's oxygen level. *sigh* We were all getting a little impatient plus Little C refused to put on the nebulizer, and we went off without informing anyone. :P
We arrived back to hotel, put Little C down to the bed. Little C was exhausted, in less than 5 minutes, Little C dozed off. Quickily, I had a shower and hopped onto the bed to join Little C until the next morning 9am.
What a long long day. But I don't mind catching up with friends part, I love children's meeting up to play part too!!!!!!!! Let's do it more often.
