The chalet getaway

Okie...been procrastinating way too long about everything, I figured I better try to sort out the pictures that are piling up; in my cupboard, waiting to be scrapbooked, and on my desktop, waiting to be posted and blogged about.


So eventually I brought Kate to the doc to certify her fit enough to go to the chalet with us, after the whole HFM thing. I was so relieved when she was given the green light. The doctor's only concern being that Kate's immunity being low after recovering, so no crowded places. Chalet with parents, ok! Beach, ok! Happiness!


So I did a very last minute packing on the morning we were supposed to go, thus forgetting many important things; her diaper rash cream, her sweater, a second set of pjs, and I can't remember what else. Hubs was quite pissed with me. Haha. & poor Kate wore her pjs both nights, her top had to be her sweater too, so you can imagine how dirty it was by the end of our stay.


We went to Vivo city to shop for snacks and all before heading over, and Kate was so happy to finally be out and about. She took a nap when we reached and we spent the evening at the beach and eating at a horrid restaurant, think it was called the wave or something, whatever. Ok, unfair statement. The restaurant was nice and cozy. Problem is, the lights were too dim! It's great for chilling with friends, or chatting with your romantic other half, but so wrong for families. Blah. Dim lights = can't see what's on my plate, how to feed Kate? They had high chairs for toddlers but they had no parents room nor changing pad in the ladies. So I had to change Kate, who decided the restaurant was a lovely spot to poo at, at the sink. Bleah. So I told hubs that having high chairs doesn't make a restaurant family friendly. Hmph. I might have went on and on about it, haha! Our camera ran out of battery, so I couldn't take much pics. Sigh.


Kate who was really grouchy at waking up, cheered up instantly when she saw the beach, which was just a stone's throw away from the chalet.

The beach was practically empty deserted when we were there, it being a thursday and all I guess. But it was lovely without the crowd.

And here's a pic of the Costa sands chalet.

The next day, same thing. Kate only cheered up when we told her we were going to the beach. She kept whining, which I attribute to the strange surroundings and the fact that she just got well.

Photobucket

Again, beach was quiet. Kate was really so adorable, she tried to apply sunblock lotion for me.

And then running around amok, playing catch! I love the shots that captures her laugh and her cheeky grins, so rarely I get an un-blurry shot!

She insisted on drinking from our bottle.

No one was in the water. With good reason. We didn't see the puny sign, so Kate got oil smears on her feet, so hard to get rid of it!

Photobucket

This is some new attraction at Sentosa, at least it's new to me haha. Kate saw the people gliding past and insisted that we go "fly"! She was in my arms, and she used her hand to press my back as though trying to lift me up. So funny.

Photobucket

After Kate had a nap, we brought her to Resort world. Nothing much. Maybe because we didn't visit the theme park.

These workers look like they are part of a performance. They are not.

Procrastination...

Okay...
I know I wanted to post pictures of our trip to down under a long time ago. I never did...
Then there was the recent getaway trip to Sentosa.
And now Joanne's hen party!


Yikes. I keep procrastinating til the cows came home "oh-lay-dee". Such is my laziness. Sigh.


So anyway, here's some pictures from the hen party! It's my first theme-d hen party, instead of the usual beer/alcohol- chugging ones and it was fun and definately unforgettable. We went to RE hotel, a boutique hotel (loves boutique hotels~), we decorated the place ourselves, suprised the bride who had no idea of what the day's events were all about, dressed up in ridiculous pjs, went to catch a movie at Illuma, ate at TCC, got the bride to do silly dares, and finally headed back to the hotel for chit chat and champagne!
