Paranakan buffet

We had paranakan buffet at Chilli Padi at Heng Mui Keng Terrace. This branch is very fair. They prepared a set lunch besides the buffet counter for kids in case kids can't take much of the food at the buffet counter as some dishes are spicy.

They served many paranakan dishes such as randang, ayam bua kuluak, sayu lodeh, laksa, mee siam, keuh pati , etc and many nonya kueh

Kueh pati

Nonya kueh

As usual, my boys wanna roam around after their tummies are filled up. The surrounding is nice. This place is in NUS. Unfortunately, we didn't snap much except the few shots here

Lost again

Chen Chen always follow me home while hubby pays for grocery we bought at NTUC supermarket. The mall is just stone throw away from my home. Today Chen Chen wanted to follow hubby today. I went home with Png Png. Hubby came home alone. He thought Chen Chen followed me home albeit Chen Chen said he wanna follow hubby when hubby queued to pay. Hubby thought Chen Chen changed his mind and ran after me. My heart sank. Hubby ran back to the mall instantly. Luckily he came back with Chen Chen few minutes later.

Chen Chen ran away from hubby and waited for hubby at McDonalds which is round the corner of the exit. Goodness knows why the daddy and son didn't see each other. Chen Chen walked up and down the escalator shouting for daddy when he felt that something was wrong. A kind lady accompanied him and talked to him till hubby turned up to fetch him.

Gosh! What a start on 1st Jan 2010

Pretend play

Play the pianist and the singer
Png Png : What are you doing ?

Chen Chen : Play recording from mini hifi to keyboard player

Png Png : I am not interested to play this game
Png Png : What shall we play?

Chen Chen : Hey, don't walk away

Png Png : I play with remote control

Chen Chen : How about playing with this ATM machine?

New Year Eve

Today is New Year Eve, our office closed at 12:30 pm but I worked till closed to 4pm. Worse than Christmas Eve when I worked till 2+pm. Argh........

Both my boys were sick. Luckily hubby was on leave. He brought both boys to my office then we brought the boys to consult the Chinese sin seh whose clinic is near my office


The boys played at the fountain area while waiting for me

Snow Fantasy in Singapore Changi Airport

Brought my boys to Snow Fantasy in Singapore Changi airport. Boy, we queued 45 min just for 15 min play! Each parent was allowed to bring 2 kids. So, I brought the boys in first, then hubby queued while we were playing. After we are done, it's hubby's turn. Otherwise the boys only managed to play one round

The boys didn't have enough, so brought them to the "playground" next to the snow fantasy

Green rompers

I like this green rompers very much It gives a very sun shine look

Sentosa Underwater World

Chen Chen saw this poster on the lamp post along the way home and requested us to bring him to feed sharks
We brought the boys to Sentosa on Christmas day. Boy, it was a wrong move. Not only that it rained buckets when we were there (the sun was scorching when we departed so we didn't bring umbrella), the place was very crowded. It took us 1.5 hr to queue up just to buy admission tickets to Underwater world

Png Png walked around while hubby queued to buy admission tickets.Png Png was very excited to see peacock here. He learned the word peacock.

I brought the boys to the entrance to look at the rays through the glass panel before hubby got the tickets. The boys were very excited when we entered Underwater World

Chen Chen touched fishes in this special tank. Normally water gush out when there is a hole but it doesn't in this case. I wanted to read the explanation on why is it so but was unable to due to crowd and Png Png fidgeting in my arms

Travelling on the 83m long moving travelator with a tunnel that houses sharks, rays and many other fishes. We saw dugong at the end of the tunnel. Dugong is mermaid but it doesn't have a pretty lady head

Chen Chen started to feel hungry. Luckily I brought biscuits along

Png Png dozed off.

Chen Chen's favorite pose

I nursed Png Png on a bench in a quiet corner. When he woke up, the boys went for "water play" again. Hubby encouraged the boys to hold star fish by demonstrating how to hold star fish

Chen Chen started to hold a star fish in his hand

Chen Chen held the star fish above water level which is not supposed to.

He was very rough and threw the star fish when he had no fear of star fish. We kept telling him not to but he didn't listen till he received warning from the staff at Underwater World. What a shame!

Png Png wanted to hold star fish but his hands are not long enough to reach the bottom of the pool

Last shot in Underwater world before going to Dolphin lagoon

Unfortunately, Dolphine lagoon was closed by the time we got there. All because of the long queue....

Last shot before we left Sentosa
