Amusing Words From My Darlings
You know you'll always get the most unimaginable words out of kids' mouths! I got some today...
A, who had a sore throat, was coughing and had been refusing his milk for days asked me for chips! He said, "I want chip chips!".
B, who had just recovered from her sore throat, was snacking too much, had been putting on some weight lately asked me for snacks! She said, "I want to be chubby"!
Didn't know whether I should cry or laugh!
Well, I gave in to them... but I recorded what they said, in case they blamed me later on. :P

DIRECTOR: Bryan Singer

OPENING: 22 May 2014
RUNTIME: 133 mins
RATING: PG 13 - Some Violence and Brief Coarse Language
The ultimate X-Men ensemble fights a war for the survival of the species across two time periods in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. The beloved characters from the original “X-Men” film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from “X-Men: First Class,” in an epic battle that must change the past – to save our future.
========================================================================
It's been a long time since we last watch movie together. DC had his movie buddies now and the last movie 3 months ago with the kids was a failure...
Nevertheless, today we found precious time together and we knew watching X-Men never failed... :) True enough, it was an awesome one. We enjoyed it as much as the other X-Men movies.

Great Getaway at Rasa Sentosa
We had a great weekend at Sentosa as usual!
It was a free stay again. This time, we brought the grandparents along.
The staycation was originally planned to be on Mother's day weekend, and we postponed it to a week later. Instead of Mother's day celebration, it became early anniversary celebration. :)
Ever since we told A about the staycation, for the whole of last week, he asked for it the first thing he woke up every morning! He had to count down from "3 more days" to "2 more days" to "1 more day" to the actual day - it was a long wait for him!
We requested for a connecting room with the grandparents. Both A and B happily roamed freely into the grandparents room each time the door was opened. We took our usual family photo on the bed, this time we had the help of my in-laws, how great!
See them jumping up the bed, how happy!
The weather was good, needless to think more, it was swimming time with the kids. The water was warm (i like!).
Then we went for some yummy food at Casserole. The last time we went, A and B enjoyed the food very much - to the extent that they were licking up the soup pot! This time, the food didn't disappoint either. B drank the soup and finished up the vinegar olive oil bread dip. A had great time eating satay and asked for chips! He still remembered the chips there?! The most amazing thing was that the waitress remembered him after one year!
The next day, we woke up late, had buffet, packed up and then checked out.
It was a relaxing and peaceful trip. It's a pity that A was having slight cough, but he definitely enjoyed it better than anyone of us, I'm sure! For after the staycation, he kept asking to go back again!

Not sure why the name but the food is nice enough. At Junction 8 level 2.
Chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice-cream.
Satisfying dinner.
Always like vongole.
Escargots in herb butter. Tender and juicy.

Downsized
In the spirit of minimalism, I had already gone from a 3-monitor to a 2-monitor setup. To take things further, I decided to consolidate all into one. SO today I went down to Sim Lim and got myself this:
Philips 278C4QHSN/69
1920 x 1280 resolution
7 ms , 250cd/m2
3 x HDMI, 1 x VGA
Price: $425
Previously, it was
Nice :)

Bamboo clams
Surprising find at Crystal Jade Junction 8, for $8.90++. Slightly salty with black bean sauce. The sautéed garlic would have been a better choice. Still, it was delicious.

Hong Kong Trip 12 Mar 2014 - 15 Mar 2014
"Good Bonding and Revisiting Fun", rather than the infamous "买东西吃东西" would be the tagline for this trip.
The kids had their naps and meals very well, better than expected and 托他们的福, I also enjoyed the same resting time as them. :)
Day 1:
Like last year, we took a limousine (or white bus, what A described) to the airport.
The cool weather was just what we were looking for in Hong Kong. The weather back home was just too hot. We donned the jackets on the kids and off we went to our hotel - HK Disneyland hotel.
Here's A posing with "Minnie" in the hotel:
The kids had their nap in the hotel. Then, at night, we went out for dinner at the Harbor City. We were there for Dr Kong shoes and for the laser shows at the river bank. But both were disappointing. Look at the 2, up to their mischief, running around while waiting for the laser show.
The dinner was, however a pleasant surprise! We decided to walk into a Vietnamese restaurant and the kids love the noodles! :)
When we got back, we decided to explore the hotel further and walked into the souvenir shop at the hotel. Look at the picture to see what A and B wanted to get for themselves. Hmm, DC and I did consider to get it for them but dropped the idea later on... we got A a set of 3 Disney Cars instead.
Day 2:
We went Disneyland hotel for breakfast buffet and the kids had picture taking sessions with the disney cartoon characters. We saw three: Goofy, Daisy and Mickey. Of these 3, B was super terrified with Goofy and screamed the moment Goofy walked near! Daisy was alright for her but she wouldn't step near her. Mickey was the one that got her hug. A was quite ok with all three and he was in fact quite fascinated at where they were and waited anticipatedly at their arrival. My two babies have grown up, not the same scaredy cats like last year!
After the breakfast, we set off to the big playground - the Disneyland. :) A had always love the rides but B was still a little jittery about taking boat rides and watching fireworks... until she discovered for herself that these are not as scary as she thought.. and then she enjoyed them all, including the car and horse rides. Here's them on the ponies.
DC got his hands on his most craved Disneyland food - Turkey leg before we went back hotel to catch a nap! :) We went back for dinner and the fireworks.
Day 3:
It was cold this day!
We went to Maxim Palace restaurant - still as nice, all dishes were so nice that I'm going to brand this as my favorite dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong! :)
The kids running around at the open square outside the building... I just love to see them so happy. :)
DC led us to the nearest MTR station and we took a train back to our hotel. It was a nice change instead of the buses and taxis that we took the past two days. My in-laws did not alight with us, they went on ahead to see the big buddha at Nyong Ping at the Lantau Island. We took the kids back to the hotel for a rest.
While waiting for my in-laws to come back to the hotel, we took these pictures at the hotel lounge before setting off to have dinner... haha meet Mrs and Miss Mouse :)
We arrange to meet my family at HK for dinner - they came from Macau. A was very happy to see them there. Haha, I mistook my dad as some kid napper when he came over to carry my boy! Guess I was too paranoid but I quickly realized my mistake! :P
Day 4
We met my parents at the Hong Kong airport and we went to Maxim for lunch. The presentation of the food was so very different from the Maxim Palace that we went to the other day!
The kids napped in the airplane. That gave me time to watch the movie "Frozen" on the plane and enjoy the window sunset view!
After the trip, A was always asking to go back his Hong Kong Kong Kong... We were thinking of going back too! :)

A family picture at the airport before departure:
At the airport, A and B took their bread-fast. I was surprised to find a children playground at the airport. the kids had fun there esp. B. She didn't want to leave the slide!
Both A and B took the window seats and I was glad they were able to sit through most part of the flight. I had to get an infant seat belt for B as she was restless towards the end of the flight and was fidgeting around, asking to sit on my lap. Here's B digging into her ice-cream:

Ah Boy's birthday lunch
Ah Boy turns 13 and gave a lunch treat at Mandarin Orchard hotel.
It was a great meal, the kids were behaving well and it was always nice to gather outside once in a while!
Us with our kids... this time, it was B and I who wore the same, unlike all times where A and DC wore exactly the same! Hehe...
After the meal, we brought the kids back for their naps. They had our permission to skip their lessons this afternoon. ;) We brought them downstairs to ride their kiddy car instead and they loved it!
