HB's birthday

Times flies..Hubby is at his last digit of his 30s stage. To mark this moment, the dutiful wife bought iFly groupon for us to enjoy a flying experience.

Outside iFly

Prior to the trip, we had to book our date and timing by emailing iFly.. easy peasy. We needed to reach 1.5hr earlier than the booking time to go through the training. The training basically consisted of video watching and a trainer to teach you the basics of flying and some sign languages to follow while you are flying.


After the training, we were transported the flying area. Since we had to put our belongings in the locker, there was not much chance to snap pictures. We took these photos after the fly.

The kids with the trainer

All of us in the flying suit

One by one went into the flying arena with the trainer. It's not easy as you think! Look who's flying! Shan was rather afraid of the fly possibly due to the air. She mentioned that it made it difficult for her to breathe.

The groupon deal came with free personalised DVD and cocktails at the Sky Loft. We were mean. Ordered one soft drink for the kids to share while hubs and me drank three cocktails! If I recalled correctly, they were mixtures of vodka and grapefruit juice and vodka with fresh lime and mint leaves.One such cocktail costs around $14 each. After the nice cocktails, we rushed back to pick Seth up for a quick dinner nearby (which is the kids' favourite Jack's Place).



On the Saturday, we went to Dozo for another round of celebration. Since we brought the Shan & Sky to ifly, we decided to just bring along the little imp with us. He was so full of excitement and brought along Gor Gor's bag filled with legos! -_-. The great service started from the day I booked. I guess people usually go Dozo for special days and staff are trained to do a side check if we are celebrating any special occasions. 

When we reached there, we were given private dining area! Seth was overjoyed as he could play and run around the room.
The pre-cocktail..sour plum taste, I love it!

It's a seven course dinner that cost $59.80++ per pax.

Assorted Platter

mammamia sashimi and bamboo clams!


Escargots with cheese and garlic!


Mushroom soup with truffles (the black dot on the spoon)


Finally to the mains. My nicely done steak served on hot stone!

Hub's pork..hmmmm passable

The fruity drink.

Seth was busy eating the whole stack of cheese sticks the whole time!

To die for - Molten lave chocolate cake

 The lovely crew even gave seth complimentary cheese cake

Another lovely gesture by the crew and he even sang the birthday song together with us! 

Totally enjoyed the awesome dining experience! Till next time!

My Valentino's birthday

My Valentino turned 4 this year! With just 2 years shy from primary school education, he's just growing up too fast! Nevertheless, he's still rather babish in every aspects cos after all he's the baby of the house! He's now more talkative though I'm still hesitant if I should do anything to correct his enunciation. 



Had the usual celebration at his CC.
His choice cake!

Super happy that his bro joined him today

He and his class
After the school celebration, we brought him Toy R Us and the elder twos shamelessly tagged along. As usual, Gor Gor got excited thinking that he was choosing his toy and gave all the ideas to the bro..


After the happy purchases, we end off the day with another celebration at Swenson with my folks.
Seth was one happy young man that day!!

Confirm Huat for the New Year

Without fail, we made the kids do Chi-na pose during CNY Day 1..Looking back, it's gratifying to see how they have (not) grown..

Besides the normal vistation,  a bunch of us buddies also had a get-together CNY dinner at Seafood Paradise @ the Flyer.


After dinner, Ronnie mentioned that he bought this $3+ Kong Ming lantern from dunno which market. We chose an ideal spot (that would not burn down the Flyer) to set it. Wrote our wishes for both Tan and Lim families and off the Kong Ming Lantern went!




 This year, with blessings from above, it will be a super HUAT year for us :)

Dancing in the mall

Last December Holiday, Shan's ballet school arranged for the kids to have small performances at the Clementi Mall. In addition, the school also arranged the gals to perform for MINDS as a form of charity outreach few months ago.

I thought it's great that the school expose the kids in various forms. Unlike the previous dance school that Shan attended, we were make to purchase new costume that easily cost up to $80 every year. Not to mention about the cost of tickets to watch them performing. This school was thoughtful and the costume purchased and used for year 2011 concert was re-used in 2012 in the mall and school performances.

Brothers supporters
 
This was the same performance that was put up at Clementi Mall as well.

Korea Day 7 - Home Sweet Home


Good time always passes fast! We had a scrumptious breakfast - 6 different types of porridge. They were yummlicious.


After breakfast, we proceeded to Waterdoci which is the largest water park and spa. Unfortunately, we got to keep everything in the locker and left us no chance to take photos in the water park. When you step in the locker which is differentiated by male and female, you see all shapes and sizes walking around freely (without clothes). Quite a sight! Anyway, we had the whole morning fun at the slides and wave pool. You also see those ajummma doing aqua aerobics in the pool.

After the water play, we were happily taking snap shots of the area when we spotted...






SNOW!! This time, the snow was pouring! What a magical feeling!! Thank god for such encounters!
