The suite was big.... there were 2 toilets (one at the entrance, one in the bedroom). Within the bedroom, there was plenty of walking space after fitting in a wide King size bed, table and chairs . The bathroom was also spacious; with a toilet, a shower cubicle, a bathtub, 2 wash basins, a dressing table,a cupboard and a bench. I din like the old fashion leather couches, but they are easy to maintain. The glass coffee table was dangerous (sharp edges) and we took it out and place the glass piece against the wall in the corner instead. Despite our measures, little minmin managed to knock onto stuff a few times and cry.. careless baby.
And for the first time, we checked out early (10am).
This Christmas was also a gathering of relatives. My 4th uncle and his family came from Malaysia and stayed at Festive Hotel. Met up with them. Have not seen my cousins for easily 5 yrs. They have grown from babies and kids to prim and proper children/adolescents. I admire my uncle and auntie for being able to bring up 5 children with all the right values inculcated. My uncle himself, is running full marathons at his age (50+). Forgot to take pics. What a waste, my cousins all look good!
Christmas Eve
Ordered a Christmas Log cake from Four Leaves. I din like that the sponge cake inside was dry (cos they had baked the cake one day before our collection date). What a disappointment.
At night, we went to vivo to walk around, and caught the USS fireworks from the Sentosa Boardwalk. After the fireworks display, Little Minmin voluntarily gave hubby (who was carrying her)a kiss! Wow, she must be really happy to see fireworks. First time I see her do such a thing.
Oh, now she can climb down the bed fast and smooth. She's also learning to climb up furniture (the beginning of more dangers).
Christmas Day
Decorated my place haphazardly, as I was planning a Christmas party with my family. This got extended to my aunties and cousins, who were happy to join in and graciously chip in food. The party (or rather, the gathering), turn out to be a potluck of DIY popiah, zi char items (fried rice, cereal prawns) , braised meat and vinegar trotters. The Prima Deli logcake I ordered fare better as well.
A party for family is way easier to manage. Despite the lack of entertainment at my place (din even switch on the tv), people just find ways to entertain themselves. My aunties and mum chatted in the kitchen, my father glued himself to the PC, my cousins play with my nephews and bb, my bro talked to hubby, while me and SIL busied ourselves with the bbs. Little minmin was sticky to me and was unhappy when others approach her. hmmm
Earlier on, I had resolved to take a good pic of the 3 kids (one almost 4-year old and 2 almost one-year old). It was mission impossible. None of them would stay still / look at the camera at the same time or even gather at the same spot. I did manage a group pic for all, but Nicholas was sleeping in the pic.
Boxing Day
This was a public holiday,and I brought my bro and nephews to the Bird Park. This marks my 3rd visit in 2 months!Still fascinated with the big birds and found that there were still some exhibits I have not covered previously.
