Sun and Sand at Sentosa!

7-9th June 2009

Due to the H1N1 bug circulating around the world, Daddy and Mummy decided not to travel and so they booked a staycation for us at Sentosa. It didnt matter that we couldnt travel, we still had a blast!

1st to do on our agenda - Sand play!

Me getting reacquainted with my sand toys - havent touched them in a long time!

Baby Bone's maiden attempt at sand play!

Baby Bone didnt take too well to sand. He glued his butt to the mat and refused to get off, and fussed big time when sand got onto his fingers.

Tsk tsk so nitpicky for a boy! haha...

See he's still trying to get Mummy to clean his hands

Err i wonder if i should try to get off the mat?

Bad move little brother! Wahahaha now ure STRANDED!

We stayed at the Siloso Beach Resort, which was nestled in a lush garden. It had a really nice, rustic setting, complete with a huge waterfall cascading into the landscaped pool.

They were having promotional rates at $300 for a 3d2n stay including breakfast but pity the rooms were not much to rave about though. The rooms had the bare essentials and they were so tiny, there was hardly anymore space to walk about once they set up Baby Bone's cot.

We were lucky to have been bumped up to a deluxe room, cos they took 45 min to process our check in and Daddy kicked up a fuss. Cant imagine how the standard room would be like if the deluxe room was already such a pigeon hole!

Wait for me! Im coming along for breakfast!

Look Jiejie, a squirrel!

Breakfast was nice as we nibbled on pastries, fruits and yoghurt amidst the lush foliage. We were also mesmerised by a family of squirrels who thrilled us to no end with their acrobatics!

Yum yum! Food tastes so much better outdoors!

After breakfast, we were up for some action at the luge. While waiting for the bus, we caught...

...Daddy and Baby tryg to eavesdrop on the conversation of some tourists nearby!

Tsk tsk! The men are more kaypoh than us girls!

And then we were all aboard the tram!

The pic below was taken just a split second before i fell off the ropes in the background and hit my head on the floor. All because i defied Mummy's orders to stand beside her while she smoothed in Baby's sunblock and ran off to swing on the ropes, even after repeated warnings from the luge staff not to do so.

Mummy wasnt very sympathetic over the huge goose egg bump i ended up with

She even said it served me right! Boohoo...

Nevertheless, we had great fun on the luge. It was also the 1st time Baby could go on it! The last time we tried the luge, he couldnt even sit unsupported, let alone ride it!

Allright guys, im all buckled up!

Daddy and his little thrill seekers!

And we're off!

Baby Bone was 5cm shy of the minimum height required to go onto the skyride so i got to go on the luge 3 times, with Mummy and Daddy taking turns to watch him at the foot of the hill.

Lucky me! Wheeeeeeee!

Dont worry Baby, we'll come back again then you can go on more rides!

Due to the extreme heat, we decided to head back to the hotel to cool off. While Baby napped in Daddy's arms, Mummy and I had fun playing with some mini jets of water near the tram station.

While baby napped, mummy took me swimming. No pics cos she was busy keeping me out of trouble.

After baby woke, we headed out to Vivocity on the monorail for abit of shopping and tea.

Look i can brew the tea for all of us!

No pics of me, cos i was snoozing in the stroller

Baby on display!

Back at the hotel, it was time to cool off after all our exertions! And what better way than our favourite activity - a bubble bath!

The next day, breakfast was hurriedly gobbled down cos i wanted to go swimming again! And of cos go down the kids' water slide again and again and again and again...

The slide was actually quite steep and when you got to the bottom, there was a relatively deep drop. So the st time i tried it, i ended up swallowing alot of water.

Mummy came up with this brainwave and coaxed me to go down the slide with a float around my waist. It slowed me down and also buoyed me up and out of the water at the end!

I was so happy i kept telling mummy "good idea, mummy! ure so clever!"

Mummy: hahahaha...

This is how we did it!

That's the huge waterfall in the background

Here i am, relaxing in my rubber float

Goofing around with Daddy

Baby in his element

And finally a little snack before we checked out and head home!

Us kids had a great time on sentosa, but our poor parents were literally our slaves! Muahaha...bow down to the 2 little royal highnesses!
