StayCaTioN @ SiLoSo BeAch ReSorT

hubb's company had a family day on 17march at sentosa. so i took leave and off we went to participate in the event. 

unfortunately, we lost the tickets that hubb bought at a discounted price. diaoooo.. so now waiting for his colleague to inform him if there are any unclaim tickets by the end of this month. if have, then still can pass him. else, too bad.. duhh.. 

anyway, we also took this chance to staycation at sentosa. haha. im never a supporter of staycation. waste money and stay in singapore, what for? but given the situation that we cannot travel now, then staycation will be the next best option to have the holidaying mood le loh. haha

so, booked 2 nights at the siloso beach resort.

and everything at sentosa is really freaking expensive. after losing the tickets and we cannot claim our bento sets, we went to eat at a foodcourt in sentosa. 1 bryani, 1 salted egg pork rice, 1 soup and 2 drinks costed like $50+ if i remb correctly. mad. 

then for dinner, we ordered in-room service. $20++ for this burger meal. this one still acceptable, since the burger really quite huge and came w lots of waffle fries. 

but $19++ for this seafood horfun is incredulous! 

lucky breakfast is included in our stay. haha. ok la, the breakfast still considered quite decent. 

day 2 after breakfast, brought the boy to play in the pool

honestly, im very guilty towards him. now is the time to bring him out and explore. but because of my pregnancy, it's not so convenient to bring him out and play/explore. so very guilty. but i promise promise promise that i will make it up to him. i promise. 

yeah, most of the time, it's papa who plays and entertains him... haiiz. little wonder he appears to be more attached to papa than mama. there was a period of time when i felt soooo jealous lo. really! literally jealous of ur own husband.. wtf?

and then sis and family came over and joined us in the evening. keke 

and.. it's play time again! 

and night time we went to chill at one of the beachside bar.. keke.. 

bikini bar ok, dont play play! the waitresses really wore only bikinis as their top. woahhh.

yup, so 3d2n for our little staycation. not bad la. chillax abit.  most of the time only play in the water and sleep in the room as the boy needs to nap, and i also cannot walk much. 

cheers!

Ahahaha. My 'incentive' for having to go thru another 'cut' soon (hopefully just a cut and not under the knife......)

And probably also my present for this yr's vday, anniversary, bday, Xmas etc n etc... 

Yeaaa!

Had always wanted a small n portable bag. And now even more, bcuz the bags I have are all too heavy and I really cannot carry heavy stuff liao lah..

Tada! 轻盈多了!  V happy!

Initially I actually wanted this. But was unsure cuz the red color like v hard to match clothes and it's really a bit too small. And also harder to maintain cuz easier to get dirty

So quite happy when the sales staff intro me that one. Bigger, more universal and easier to maintain. 

Yep. Thanks hubb. 

Sorry for the hole in ur pocket.

But... it's all worth it!  

Celebrated ant's bday at raffles city sushi tei.

Happy birthday!

Dad's Bday

Celebrated dad's bday at yunnan garden restaurant at fusionopolis.

Bro n family couldn't join us, so sis and I went ahead.

Nice food but all in small small portion. Service v prompt. Food were served like almost immediately.

Happy birthday pa!

**************

ok, some updates on dear rayous's schooling experience. coming to 2 weeks liao. time flies!

ok, i think he's getting used to it. 

took leave today and sent him to school. still crying and kicking up a fuss when waiting to enter the school. then the teacher carried him and he stopped crying. after about 15mins, we requested to 'spot check' on him to see how he was doing. and so, off i went to peep at him at the window. 

ok leh. he wasnt crying anymore. not bad not bad. 

was so damnn worried that he'll still be crying and will cry till vomit.

heng ar. 

and previously, i told the teacher to give him his pillow and pacifier if he cries uncontrollably. then for the past few days, he came out of the classroom with his pillow and pacifier. and according to the teacher, he likes to hold tight to his bag and sit near the door. 

today, when i went in and peeped, i saw the bag was outside the classroom. was quite disturbed initially, like why his bag was left outside. but after that i tot about it, it's a good thing cuz that will make him forget his bag, pillow and pacifier. and that was how the teacher explained also. 

and yeah, when i peeped at him, he was holding his water bottle and hanging around the class. not crying anymore. and when we picked him home, he came out of the room without his pillow and pacifier liao.

well done! 

huge improvement! 

so just wait for the day when he'll stop crying totally. 

jiayou! 

Tdy shld b a happy day. 

But alas,up till now, 还真的开心不起来。

祝我好运。

Good luck to me.

Please.

3rd & 4th Day of School

ahahah. 3rd day of school! also the last day which i can sit in.

i think he was more at ease as compared to the 1st and 2nd day la. the frequency of leaving me was higher and longer, and the frequency of looking back at me to make sure i was around was shorter. 

******

and today, the 4th day and the most dreaded day, cuz it's the day whereby i can no longer sit in and he gotta go in by himself! hohoho. 

yeah, so w a hug and a kiss, off he was carried away by the teacher. yeah, plenty of tears and screaming. good thing there was no way to peep, so we were also left with no choice, but to leave and come back to fetch him when time is up. 

when we picked him, he was sucking on the pacifier and holding on to his pillow. apparently still crying. haha. 

according to the teacher, after he went in, he stopped crying after abt 10mins. good thing was, he din cry till vomit. yeah, rayous has the tendency to vomit if he cries too 'vigorously'. heng ah! 

but then, the teacher said , whenever the door opens, he will start to want to cry again. umm. maybe the opening of door reminded him that mummy and daddy are nt around?

anyway, after we picked him up and he calmed down, he was one happy and mischievous rayous again. 

so not too bad for a start huh. 

hopefully it will get better day by day. 

looking forward to the day whereby he will say bye bye to us and walk into the classroom by himself. 

jiayou! 

Rayous's 1sT DaY of SchooL

my little boy's 1st day of school. haha.

so 1st 3 days im allowed to go in with him and 1st 5 days only for 1.5hr instead of the usual 3hrs. 

initially he was quite reluctant to stay in the room. kept holding my hand and pointing/pulling me towards the door, wanting to leave the room. but he kind of settled down after seeing the toys. 

then fed him porridge while he played w the toys. ummmm, his 'performance' wasnt as good as i anticipated. i was expecting him to join in the kids and play and do what the rest were doing. but instead of joining them, most of the time he was clingy and stuck on to me. 

even if he did manage to walk away from me, it's only for  a short while and he will start to look for me and come running to me again. 

yep, so overall, quite unexpected. i tot he will just follow what everybody else is doing and join in the group, but he din.

*****

day 2 tdy.. started off with makan again.. today was bread w jam... 

ok, today i think he's more relaxed. at least right at the beginning, he din pull me towards the door wanting to leave again. though still clingy, there was 1 point in time when the teacher managed to carry him to sit on her lap and do some painting. though for a short while only, but big improvement le la, i think.

tmr will be the last day i can be with him liao. monday will be the 'crisis' time. though i read everywhere that we should just be firm and leave them in the trust of the school, im still v worried. will he really stop crying and settle down after we leave? can the school handle him? will they be impatient and rough with him??? ummmmmmmm

and from the observation these 2 days, i dont find the teacher very engaging, though she did manage to pacify a crying child tdy. and though there is an assistant, i thought they still werent that attentive. eg, the teacher is busy teaching art & craft to 1 child, while the assistant was looking after another child. then the rest of the children were left to play on their own. like that.... safe enough meh? what if the children start putting things into their mouth?? what if they were holding on to the toys and fell and hurt themselves?

or i worry too much liao?

haiiz. 

ok, i think there's no back-out now. 

shall just see how it goes and i hope it wont be too difficult on monday. cant stand a pathetic looking and wailing rayous la. will he hate me for leaving him there? will he think that i'd abandoned him? will he feel insecure, be angry and not trust me anymore? will he think that im not helping him???

urggghhh

it's so easy to just say shut off and go! but... when it comes to actual action.. it's not easy at all! 

struggle!!

good luck!
