Universal Studio Singapore + Festive Hotel Stay 15 -16 Aug 2010

In the busy month of August.. Hee..
So this week, well less bz, it's only Sunday to USS then a overnite stay at Festive Hotel.
I'm so thankful to Hubby for making this happen, despite his busy working schedule.But well, at least it's still in Singapore, he can still manage his time better.. Hee.. Thanks dear.
Got the 2 Adults weekend USS tickets from my company, it's a 1-day pass, it's $7 lesser than public, S$65 x2, lil Rayden is FOC for being under 4-year-old.
oh ya, do remeber if you are planning to go USS, please get your tickets beforehand.
When we reached there around 1045am, the ticketing booths are all closed, stating all tickets are sold out! I wonder how those walk-in visitors feel when they came all the way here.
Our entry tickets entitled us $5 Retail voucher & F&B voucher.
Well, USS is rather small scale, but i feel it's pretty good enough for Singapore.
It's refreshing, something really different, the feel is total different, except the as usual hot humid weather.
USS is about 80% open, only some rides are still unavailable.
Little Rayden love the place and of coz the rides.. to my surprise, he's rather brave, he took the rollercoaster ride with hubby and told me he wasnt scare at all..
Hee.. I think among the worlds, I like Far Far Away the most..hee...
Had our lunch there at Goldilocks.. the fast food is quite yummy... Then after lunch proceed to more fun..Hee..ya as expected Rayden gotta sacrificed his nap, but i think he jolly love it, he shown no signs of fatigue AT ALL... after one full day, around 6pm, we settle our dinner new the Hollywood street, wat's the fastfood outlet? cant rembr, but it sucks! None of us is pleased with the food :(
At 7pm, we finally completed USS, and proceed to check into our room at Festive Hotel. It costs me ~S$330/nite, including of 2 breakfast.
Well, Festive wasnt as good as I expected. Or maybe I'm comparing Sunway Resort Hotel to this.. It was so much spacious. Well maybe the Deluxe Family, with loft bed (+S$60) was better, but I figured Rayden wouldnt want to sleep on the loft bed but with us, so I decided to save that $60+..hahahaa
Hubby rushed off to work around 730pm, while me & Rayden toured around the Hotel & Festive Walk..Just the 2 of us.. :)
Hubby came back around 1am+ , after his work + of coz finished watching his Liverpool match with his frens at RobertsonQuay.
Then next morning, around 8am, Hubby rush off for breakfast and work again, while myself & Rayden aft out breakfast, went for a fast dip at the pool.. The pools and the playarea is rather small, hmm.... beginning to regret, I should hv booked Hard Rock Hotel instead. I choose Festive becoz of it's family theme, tot would be very kid friendly, but well soso only and wasnt impressive.. Hmmm..
After Rayden's pool dip, both of us checked out from the hotel around 12nn, then took the Shuttle bus at RWS to Harbourfront MRT, while we proceed to our next appointment, hee..at SengKang, my gynae appt.. Phew, it was quite tiring. After visting Dr Adrian and done with our lunch around 2pm, I was too tired tat I decided to take a cab home.. hee to my mum's pl for a good slp...Wat a fulfilling week! :)

Today is a rush rushy day for me.. Hee.. As today is a Monday, Hubby needs to work.
Hence after the breakfast at Festive Hotel together he went off to work. I will check out the room with Rayden on my own.
Around 1030am, took Rayden for a short dip at the pool, then nag him to go off around 1115am.. Went back hotel for last shower
before we check out. Then took the bus from RWS to Harbourfront Station, then all the way to SengKang.
Reached Dr Adrian's clinic around 1250nn, but was told 1pm then can get queue num, hence brought Rayden to the gaming centre for
a short spin, 1305hr reach the clinic, got the queue of 18?! OMG, juz 5mins aledy 17 pax infront of me, really popular..
So wait wait wait, until 2pm+ my turn, as usual it was quick & short.
Baby is doing well , he been actively throwing kicks and punches at me.. haa..
He's around 1.2kg at week27. Everytin is ok and fine.
Asked Dr Adrian about his umbilical cord, he say can see from screen, is ok, and asked him abt the Glucose test, not necessary,
the usual urine test is good enough. Mummy's weight is 62kg ..
So ok.. next visit 9-Sep (3 weeks later).

Bangkok 2 - 4 April 2010

Went to Bangkok during the Good Friday long weekends, but just realised havent put this post up.
So here's the mini update.
I went there together with Hubby, mum & dad, & lil sis when I was abt 8weeks+ preggy.
As mentioned in my pregnacy journal#2, went juz before the hell break loose in BKK. Hee.. phew..
So the 5 of us, left for BKK via Jetstar, well the fares wasnt exactly cheap for budget airline.
02 Apr Fri 1110hr
04 Apr Sun 1305hr
Total of S$1460 , so 1 pax is around S$300
On the accomodation, this time round, I explored the boutique hotel, Citin Pratunum. It's quite
conveniently located near the shopping area.
Hence 3D2N accomodation for 2 rooms -- THB 6116 (S$260).
As usual, lotsa shoppings & massages! Of coz this time round I din and cant enjoy, coz my pregnancy,
gotta be careful.
Day2 we planned to visit MBK, Central etc.. who knows, comes the big parade at that belt. Hence, our
plan gotta change.. Well, it's dear hubby's bday..too bad, no sumptuous dinner for him @Central.
Road closure to tat area, traffic was quite bad.. But the rebels are friendly, din "disturb" the
tourists, it got worse, i mean the riots, weeks after we left, burning of tyres etc. How am i glad we have
returned.
In short, it's still a great trip, I love shopping at Plantinum Mall.. haa..

Sunway Lagoon 7 - 9 Aug 2010

Hee... there I go again, I have planned a series of events for lil Rayden.. hee I want him to enjoy before
I'll be tied down with didi. :)
So road trip to SUnway Lagoon... So the 6 of us..
Rayden, myself, Hubby, Mum&dad, my lil sis..and lil baby hump..haa... hit the road to SUnway in the dawn of 6am of
7th.. We reached 2nd link around 7am, wow.. long long queue to the custom, it took us around 1.5hrs to clear both customs.
So around 830am, we really hit the road to SUNWAY, estimated journey, around 300km.. phew.. HUbby Jiayew! haaa..
But I think Hubby really enjoy it, with his speeding & tailgating... while i nagging at him behind on safety! haa..
Thanks goodness, we hv GPS installed.. Ya Wise choice hUbby! and on ya, before tat, Hubby got all his 4 tyres changed, for
of coz safety reasons. Initially we were quite skeptical about the rainy seaons, hence we changed our destination from Cameron
Highlands (2nd times) to Sunway. Coz we afraid the long winding path and the bad weather condition might pose a danger, but
to our surprise the weather is quite fine in Malaysia, unlike Sgp, dark clouds and thunderstorms.
Anyway, stopped once for toilet break, we all the way chiong to SUnway via Sg Besi,total toll cost us abt RM$60+. Around 1130am,
we reached the last toll, but jam on the way to Sunway, predictable in city, so took us around 30mins more before we finally
reached our destination. Check-in, grab our lunch, hit back to hotel rooms to rest, esp for hubby, good job!..
Day 1: Shopping at Pyramid
Day 2: SUnway Lagoon
Day 3: Last min shopping + Home sweet Home!
The journey from Sg-Sunway is around 3hrs+ (w/o factor-in the jam at customs).
The journey from Sunway-Sg is close t 5hrs, becoz of the road construction and the coach accidents at the highway. We reached Singapore
around 930pm.
Oh ya, near the JB custom, stopped by the Mly Traffic police, paid a "fine" of RM$50 to get out of the situation. This is pretty common,
not the first time we encountered.. haa they need $$ for the new year eh.
oh the reasons -- Chrome car plate & White HID headlight is illegal in Mly...yaya watever.. :P
In short, Rayden enjoyed the most... getting all the attention.. he's really so happy.. haa.. keep holding the SUnway map, even when we back
in Singapore. haa ...we surely will go there again next time, I guess Rayden will even enjoy more when he's older :)
How glad am i.. mission#1 accomplished!
Total damages RM$2090 (S$910). haaa well.. Sunway Lagoon wasnt exactly cheap, but driving on our own def is a great deal of savings.
Private Escapade 3dy/2nt (Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa Premier Room RM 888++) X 2
Package includes
• 3 days/2 nights' accommodation
• Daily buffet breakfast for two (2) adults
• One multiple-entry ticket (within the same day) to Sunway Lagoon for two (2) adults (Water Park and Amusement Park only)
• Privilege shopping card for great discounts at Sunway Pyramid shopping mall
• Welcome drink upon arrival
• Welcome fruit basket
The hotel and the shopping were great, just like in Singapore,next round will be staying in Sunway Pyramid, it's slightly cheaper,
and more convenient, as it's nearer to the shoppping malls.
