Genting Trip - March 2010

CNY 2010

Sentosa Resort World

Another visit to Sentosa for sand play again. Daddy & mummy prefer Sentosa beach compared to Pasir Ris beach & East Coast beach as the sand here is cleaner & finer. Amenities are also plentiful here.

This time round, we decided to bring Ye Ye & Nai Nai along as it's been donkey years since they last came to Sentosa. While we were busy building sand castles, Ye Ye & Nai Nai roamed around the beach & crossed the hanging bridge to visit the small island opposite the beach. I could even see Ye Ye & Nai Nai from where I was sitting.

We soon grew bored of building sand castles & decided to try our hand in frisbee. It was my 1st time playing frisbee but mummy reckened it's good enough. I can perfect the sport as time passes.

It's soon dinner time & we settled our dinner at Kofu foodcourt. We had a simple meal & later decided to check out Sentosa Resort World before it opens. We parked at the Convention Centre basement carpark & enter Hard Rock Hotel (they're linked). Although the Resort World is not opened yet, but Singaporeans are already flocking the hotel restuarants for good food. We walked past a buffet restaurant at Hard Rock Hotel & it was already filled with hungry patrons.

As the casino is not linked, we have to walk out of the Convention Centre & strolled a short distance away to Hotel Michael. The casino is situated at the basement of Hotel Michael & we have to take a few flight of escalators down. The LED displays & bright mirrors accompanied the long escalators before we finally reached the entrance of the casino. The displays are simply spectacular! See it to believe! Alas, the casino had not been granted the relevant permit from the authorities yet, so we couldn't enter. We could only take some videos of the entrance & it's surroundings.

There's another escalator that goes out of the casino which leds us to the water fountain & laser display show. It was good timing too as the techinicians were just going through a run of the laser fountain show so mummy managed to video it down.

On the other side of the fountain, is the entrance to the Universal Studio theme park. Alas, the theme park was not open yet too. Well, mummy promised to bring me to the theme park next time so I'm not too worried. :)

Ye Ye & Nai Nai soon grew tired of walking so we went back to the convention centre to get our car & drove home.

Sand Castles

I'm SOooo happy today cos mummy & daddy brought me to Sentosa beach for sand play & picnic in the evening.

Mummy & daddy didn't tell me anything until we reached Sentosa & I saw them taking my sand toys out of the car boot. "Mummy, are we going to play sand today?" I asked in disbelief & shouted in excitement when mummy said yes.

I immensed myself into sand play & ignored mummy when she asked me if I'm hungry. Mummy knows that I'm too distracted so she let me be.

When the sky darkens at around 7pm, we started to pack up & leave. I'm very reluctant to leave my sand castles behind so through-out the car journey, I kept asking mummy if my castles have already been destroyed by other people. Mummy had to keep assuring me that my castles are still intact as everyone has already went home.

Swimming @ Sengkang Public Pool

Check out the fun I had @ Sengkang public pool. Loves the slides & water fountains!!

Mummy's Fav Pixs

Hong Kong Disneyland

Mummy & daddy has been talking so long abt our family trip to HK Disneyland & TODAY is finally THE DAY!

Daddy had a late night the day before so we all woke up late in the morning. While daddy was packing his luggage at the last minute, mummy had to quickly wake me up, wash & dress me & prepare for any last minutes things.

Amazingly, we managed to finish everything in 30mins & rushed to the airport. Mummy bought some snacks for our b'fast after check-in & we quickly rushed to the departure hall before the plane takes off without us.

We met up with Xian Yi & family in the aircraft, who were already sitting comfortably in their seats behind us.

This is the 1st time I'm travelling on an airplane & I'm really EXCITED. I chosed a seat next to the window & stared out intently during take-off. The view is really amazing!

Through-out the 3hrs journey, I busied myself with Cathay Pacific's goodie bag for kids (which contains lotsa stickers, colouring book, puppet etc), watching cartoon on TV & munching on biscuits. Mummy was glad that I didn't make any fuss during take-off & landing eventhough there was pressure difference & turbulence.

I made mummy & daddy laugh when I suddenly commented why they sounded like Mickey & Minnie whereas my own voice sounds like Donald Duck. Haha...

Once we landed at HK International airport, we made our way to the taxi stand for a ride to Disney Hollywood Hotel. It's a short 15mins ride & we admired the hilly views along the way. The weather was nice & breezy and everyone was in a good mood. The rooms were ready when we reached & I was really thrilled to see Mickey Mouse EVERYWHERE!

Not wanting to waste time, we quickly unpack our luggage & took a shuttle bus to Disneyland. We reached there at around 4pm & there wasn't much crowd. There wasn't any queues for the rides & theatre shows so we really did lotsa stuff before we had our dinner in the park. We had chinese cuisine for dinner & it's only so-so. Not really that fantastic.

Mid-way through our dinner, we heard 'bombing' sound & mummy quickly took me out to view the fireworks. It's both beautiful & frightening to me. I'm really scared of the loud sound but I couldn't turn my eyes away from the fireworks.

While we're on our way back to our hotel, I fell asleep in my pram & didn't wake up till the next morning.

The next day, I woke up super early at 7am & kept pestering mummy & daddy to bring me to the 'playground'. Mummy had a nice bubble bath with me & we're all famished by the time we're done. We quickly got dressed & headed downstairs to the hotel cafe for a simple b'fast of ham & cheese sandwiches, noodles & congee. The congee tasted really nice but I can't say much for the rest of the food.

Once Xiao Yi & family came down to join us for their bfast, we quickly headed to Disneyland once more. The hotel has a promotion where we can get 2-days park passes for the price of 1 & we're glad we're in time to enjoy this promotion. As we had recee the park the day before, we can plan our itinerary better today. We headed straight to the Disney Railway & took a nice ride to Fantasyland. As the crowd today was bigger as compared to yesterday, we took our own sweet time riding on all the rides & seeing all the shows, fufilling our hunger by eating lotsa popcorns which are sold in pushcarts found all over the park.

By the time we finished Fantasyland, Adventureland & Tomorrowland, it was time for lunch. The weather had turned colder today with very harsh winds & I kept complaining to mummy that my hands are cold, even though I had 3-layers of clothings on me. By the time we reached Royal Banquet, I had already dozed off in my pram. Thus mummy & daddy managed to have a nice leisurely lunch before I wake up.

I had a small accident today when I suddenly pee in my pants. Mummy didn't brought any extra clothings for me so she had no choice but to purchase new clothings & undies for me from the souvenier shop. The prices there are really outrageous! Mummy had originally wanted to buy only a bottom for me but the shop only carries tops & dresses. In the end, mummy bought a SGD$30 tennis dress & a SGD$30 pack of undies. OMG! The undies costs almost the same as the dress!

I was REALLY happy to be able to wear new clothes & mummy suspects if it was my motive all along. Ha! After lunch, we headed to our favourite rides & retook them all over again. I'm sad that I couldn't take the 2 rides that are restricted to kids of certain height but mummy assured me that we'll come here again next time when I'm older.

After catching the fireworks at night, we took the MTR to Sunny Bay & changed another train to Citygate. The MTR train has windows shaped like Mickey & the deco in the cabins are all disney-related. There's an outlet mall above the Citygate station so after finishing our Mac dinner, we did some last minute shopping. Xiao Yi & family were too tired to continue with the shopping trip so they left for hotel earlier while we ventured around the mall till I nagged at mummy & daddy to head 'home'. Again, I fell asleep in the cab on the way back till the next morning.

The next day, we didn't have anything planned so we took a leisurely long b'fast at the hotel cafe before heading outside to take some hols pixs. Afterwards, mummy brought me to this toy shop in the hotel where kids can do arts & crafts activities, play & read books for free. Daddy helped me out with my colourings in the toy shop while mummy did some last minute shopping in the hotel souvenier shop. Soon, Xiao Yi & family joined us & we while our time away before it's time to head to the airport.

The flight back home was uneventful although I kept nagging at mummy & daddy that I want to go back to 'Mickey's house' again.
