Gathering with khakis @ CWP

It’s a long time since I last meet up with my friends, all of us have been busy with our kids during normal days. Its only during school holiday that we would have more free time as our kids do not need to go to school or minimal enrichment. My kids were super-ly excited when they know that we would be going out with Lucas and Bing Heng.

We decided to meet at Causeway point since it is a convenient place for all of us. Our initial plan was to go to the new water playground on Level 6 at CWP, but sadly it is still not open to the public yet. But our kids were equally happy when they have only this small playground to play in. I guess any place is ok with them, as long as their friends are there to enjoy with them.


This little boy was excited and wanted to join in the fun with the big gorgor and Jie Jie, but since he was abit to young, he got to make do with sitting with us - aunties and listen to us gossiping.

Nex Shopping Mall

Its our first time visiting this mall. The place is so huge that we never gotten to do serious shopping here. Reason being that our 2 monkeys were with us. But we did noticed that there is a wide variety of western, Japanese and other restaurants and cafes around. And of course my boys were definitely not bothered about the food or shop. What they were looking forward is the fun play at Kidzplay at the rooftop Skygarden.

But firstly, we decided to have our lunch at Food Republic food court which we later realised that is not a very wise choice actually. This food court is nothing to shout about, place wasn’t too big, seats were cramped, not much variety of food, and what make it worst, the food we bought wasn’t very fantastic too…

Picnic.. Sand… Water @ Palawan Beach

After we went to see the Flower Exhibition a few days back, we promised Javier that we will bring them to the beach soon. Since today is a kinda good day, we decided to fulfill our promise to them.

JJ creating havoc @ Northpoint shopping Centre

D decided to take half day off today and I was left alone with the boys. :(  (How I wish I can also take a day off) Initially I decided to hop over to SSC which is a much easier place for me when I need to lug 2 boys with me. But aha… so coincidently my mum is at Northpoint when I ring her up, so we decided to change our destination to Northpoint instead.

We have our lunch at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe with my mum. While we were busy browsing through the menu, my boys were also very busy looking through it for dessert or drinks. :D  

We went Sembawang Shopping Centre

Its been a long time since I bring them to shopping mall alone. It’s not easy, really not easy as the 2 boys are super curious, super active and super mischievous monkeys. But given that SSC is a child friendly shopping mall with playground and child friendly restaurant (my boys love the food in Xin Wang Cafe, even some of the staffs recognize and knows us by now. They will chit chat with me when I pop by there for meal. :P) this greatly put me at ease. Of course the boys were jumping for joy when I told them we are going ‘shopping with playground’.
 

Shopping mall can be fun too!

To my boys, shopping is definitely not their cup of tea! But how about something fun there, like playground… that would surely interest them!!!! So I decided to bring them to the playground located at level 3 Garden Plaza which is a good place for them to monkey about.

We discovered that there is a newly addition 7-metre Tall tree house playground there, and my boys couldn’t wait to try it out despite the super duper hot weather.  And I seems to be melting under the hot sun while taking these few pictures. :(

More fun @ Vivo City

We decided to have a snack and some rest after the walk at Long John Silver where the boys chanced upon this playground and couldn’t wait to check it out. So we decided to go with them… we take a rest while they play, well definitely not a bad arrangement. :D

Fun time at JB Jusco

Today D took half day leave to drive us to Jayden art class. And after the class, we decided to make a last minute shopping and makan trip to JB. Luckily the traffic was very smooth today and we reached our destination quite fast.

We went to Popular to shop for some books, and after which we decided on Pizza Hut for our early dinner. And what comes after dinner…. of course some play time at the indoor playground in Jusco shopping mall. So D brought them to the playground, while I shop for the boys clothes. Over here, the pajamas is really cheap (about Sing $8~$10), so needless to say, I grab 2 set for Jayden and 1 set for Javier, and the boys love the chungginton set which I bought for both of them. :D

A play-date at Sembawang Shopping Centre

Well… It’s school holiday.. so that means its time for relaxation, school free, rush free, homework free(not exactly), and having lots of play-date!!!

My boys were so excited when I told them that Bing Heng would be joining us for the water play at SSC.

Our fun moments in Sembawang Shopping Centre!!!!

We promised the boys we would bring them to some place fun after Jayden’s I-creative class today. Javier had wanted to go the zoo again when I asked him where he wants to go. But the sudden rain lead us to change our plan. So instead, we brought them to Yishun library to borrow some books follow by going to Sembawang Shopping Centre for some water play as we need to do some grocery shopping there.

Sembawang Shopping Centre

We need to do a last minute shopping at Giant Supermarket before the Eve of new year, thus we decided to pop by at SSC. It’s had been quite some time that we bring my boys to this playground at SSC, no wonder they were so excited when D brought them here.

Playdate with Stella (Part I) Kidz @ Play

Since it is school holiday now… it is time to meet up with other kiddies for some great fun. We met up with Stella for a playdate at Northpoint shopping centre. My boys have great fun playing with the ever bubbly Stella.

Fun at Garden Plaza @ IMM

I need to get some bento accessories from Daiso, thus we decided to pop by at IMM for some short shopping. And I happen to saw this playground which is located at the same level as Daiso. So I asked Javier whether he wants to go to the playground.. (you know lah… my kids are not those easy type… we got to ask for their opinion before I bring them there. Sometimes when they are in a cranky mood, they won’t even want to step into any playground! :(.. hmmm) And my little boy says “yes”, so off we hop to the playground. Daddy and Jayden join us later….

TimeZone @ Causeway Point

Since we did not managed to go to the zoo. We went to CWP for our dinner and Javier was pestering me to bring him for kiddy rides. Throughout the dinner, Javier was not a bit keen to eat his rice. He keep saying “yao yao” meaning the kiddy rides, and once I release him from the stroller, he dashed towards Timezone.

Actually I was not really keen for my boys to become a frequent visitor of this place. I feel that a lot of youngster nowadays are spending too much time in these gaming centre which is a unhealthy sight. From what I observed in the Timezone, some parents would top up the game card as much as $50 for the kids (some of the kids are very young) to play as they like.

Kidz @ Play

Our initial plan for today is to bring the kids to the zoo, but as it turns out the zoo was really crowded to the extent that we got to park our car outside the zoo. And we got to walk a good 10mins from where we park our car to reach the zoo. Oh... even though the kids were very disappointed... especially Jayden... we decided to give the zoo a miss today.

So off we went to Northpoint Shopping Centre. There is a newly opened Kids playground which consists of wet and dry play area. My boys were so happy to see the wet playground, but they warm up at the mini "Farmyard" playground before proceed to the water play area.
The theme for this playground is so cute.. All sorts of farm animals and cute little insects. But my boys were not very keen in this playground. Firstly, this is more suitable for very yound toddlers, which means it is not that suitable for Jayden already. Secondly, Javier is not feeling very well today, he his having flu and feeling a little tired. So he is not so enthuastic in running about today.

Me & Javier

A chicken....

A rare picture of Jayden. It is really not easy to get good shot of Jayden.

After spending half hour at the playground, we let the kids change to their swimsuit for the wet area. As earlier I was mentioning that Javier was not enthuastic in the playground. But as he dashed towards the wet area, he became his usual self again... dashing here and there with Jayden.

Sprayed by the water.. but he enjoyed it!!!!

Running about the area.

He is so happy playing with the water.

There is a stop of water at a time interval, so my boys were waiting for the water to splash again.

Jayden was drenched, but he is enjoying himself so much.

Water spraying gun. I tried to avoid this as I did not bring spare clothes. The kids like to turn it around and around to spray other people.

We have a fun time today, me chasing the kids and taking pictures of them. It is really not easy to take good shots of the boys, I got to run with them. Another reason I got to chase after them is due to Javier. All along, Javier have a habit of hitting other kids, irregardless of the age of the kids. So I got to look after him to stop him from hitting other kids.
