Goal for today: Have fun with the family with the least cost!
Since I have just bought the Islander membership card, why not make full use of it and drive into Sentosa for free since it's so near me?
Plus, I found out that the previously-known Port of Lost Wonders, has now changed hands to be run by Sentosa directly, and it's FREE!
We grabbed local food, and drove right in for a relaxing afternoon.
Just look how happy Kaylee and I were!
Foam pool!
She even got picked to get on stage for a balloon sculpture!
Got an Elmo balloon!
After a splashing good time, we washed up and went back to Sentosa Kidz Flea, this time as customers.
And no, the day was not done! I had packed fishing gear into our car just in case. And we drove towards Bedok Jetty to extend our relaxing afternoon into the evening. I don't remember ever coming to this part of Singapore, but the hubby remembers he went there probably when he was about 12. It's kinda nostalgic a location with the signs and the trees around.

In lovely nature
Amidst the mini wild flowers
Here's the FB live video I did. I find Ethan's expression when he sniffed the fish so funny! And it seems, this is the only way Ashton learnt how to stay calm and still (he is always so active!)
The first catch
Jigjig
It's moments like this, when brothers sit and chat, that make me happy
Psst... Our total expenditure including lunch was just $35 today for ourselves, the kids and the helper! Woots! And we truly tired ourselves out, and spent good interaction time with the kids.
Kaylee has been bugging me to get her a mermaid swimming costume for a long time. So I went to source for one... and today, we received our package! Look how beautiful she looks when she is happy~ Here's my sunshine! Poses all done by herself. The quality of this particular supplier I found is good, and we brought it into the pool today! Flippin' her fin Mermaid and her fish friend It's a 3-piece set! There is the bikini bottom inside, which is this cute little thing! So if your kid gets tired of flippin' around, just remove the tail, and it's still a lovely mermaid-bikini! Some friends have asked me to get this set for them too, so... I'm opening a pre-order now, for only SGD$22.50 per set . Local Singapore regular mail will be at SGD$1.00 (I can arrange to ship worldwide too if you need, and postage will be as-charged). Available sizes for girls about height 100cm, 110cm, 120cm, 130cm, 140cm, and 150cm. Color...
Hello 2017! We started it off with a home party on 1st Jan with our fav family and relatives, and celebrated Kaylee's and Ethan's birthdays together. We had so much food ingredients to use up post-Xmas. I made a strawberry shortcake birthday cake and randomly decorated with mini figurines (saved me some good money!) These two kiddos love each other so much. I'm so happy to be able to spend good time with them, though I wish I could have more time! And then, school began on 3rd Jan. It was Ethan's first day at Pri 1! Both the boys had a hard time getting up at the unkind hour of 5am. No choice, since their bus picks them up at 5.50am! Yea it is hard work wanting to send the kids to a "good school". I still subscribe to the belief of sending kids to a "good school" where possible. Unfortunately, it's a boys' school! So I'm gonna face a huge headache for Kaylee's enrolment. But... till then~
A friend tagged me on a FB post and that's when I learnt about the Sentosa Kidz Flea 2017! Such an awesome opportunity to teach the kids about running a little stall and marketing- from readying the product, to packaging, to promotion, to placement and to people! The kids are super excited. They had been gathering small change the whole week, and preparing decoration materials, and they thought about ringing handbells for grabbing attention. Thanks to Daiso, I found a lovely handbell, which Kaylee shall be in charge of this Sunday! We made the gold text and buntings together, guess we can just string it together on Sunday morning at the booth yea? Shouldn't take too long... plus the gramps will all be joining forces to assist in setup, I think we can get it up and ready! Yes, it's true ~ handmade ok! And here's the plan for this weekend, not sure how it's gonna go, but whatever gets my kids excited and take pride and ownership. Kaylee already k...
