Over the weekend.....

After work on Friday, waited for Mel to come and pick me and hubby up as we are spending it at the chalet...so when we arrive at the chalet, it was very nice as it was behind the SAF chalet. It was much bigger than the previous chalet that Aunt Yvonne booked. Attached is how it looked like:-



She have booked it at the Aloha Changi website and honestly, it's quite big. There have 3 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 2 bathrooms and a attached bathroom at the main bedrooms and it even have its own parking lot. So while we are settling down, Ash decided to play ball with Mel. And in the process of playing ball, Aunt Aster ask Mel to help to inflate the bed. I have managed to capture the video:-

After having lots of laugh watching Mel inflating the bed, we were quite hungry and decided to walk to Changi Village Hawker to have a late supper. When we arrive there, I ordered a plate of Char Kway Teow and boy, it was really yummy!!!!! I can only remember the shop name is Xiang Xiang. If u are ard the area there, do try it out. But they only open from 12pm to 12am and closed on Monday or Tuesday, I think. So after a heavy supper, we walked back and got some shut eye.

The next morning, it was raining and Dad went out to get breakfast for all of us. After breakfast, we rested for a while before bring lil princess to beach. On the way there, she was singing Barney the purple dinosaur song :-



When we arrived at the beach, hubby went with her to play at the beach. It was so peaceful, that whatever problems u have are all gone with the sea breeze and the sounds of the waves. She really enjoyed herself at the beach:-







After playing at the beach, we headed back to the chalet to get some rest before helping mum with the BBQ. It was quite fun as there was just so much food to be BBQ. By the time all the food was done, it was past midnite and I was just so tired. Immediately after my bath, I collapsed onto the bed and into dreamland I went.....

On Sunday, all of us got up late and had a nice breakfast. After that, hubby brought the lil princess to the playground to play while I packed up. Then Dad drove us back before noon as we need to go to church. Overall it was quite fun with just your own relatives and keeps us close knitted no matter how busy all of us are. I hope there will be another BBQ again as it's quite fun with all the laughter.....

T.G.I.F.....

It's finally Friday!!!!! And it's halfway thru the working day. Man, I'm looking forward to this for quite a while as we are going to Aloha Chalet after work!!! Yup, me, hubby, princess and the rest of the my family kampung will be there from today till Sunday. So there will be lots of talking, screaming kids and laughing adults. Sigh, I just love family gatherings, when my nearest and dearest and all gathered. It's better to cherish family members when they are alive than dead...Take last week for instance. It was during a lunch time when my dad called me and told me that my grandpa was hospitalised. I was so shocked that I immediately called my brothers and we decided to meet after work at the hospital. When we arrived there, grandpa was resting on the bed but he looked so tired. After chatting with him for a while, we realised that he did not take his blood pressure medication, thus landing himself in the hospital. Sigh, he can be quite stubborn sometimes. Then it was time for us to go. So Mel drove us back and we chatted along the way. I realised that it's times like this that I miss my brothers so much. Ever since I've gotten married and moved out of my parents' place to my own place, we seldom catch up already, other than meeting them on Sunday for family dinner. Yes, my 2 brothers are really a pain in the butt, but I still love them the same....So tomorrow, when the BBQ starts, I will be going round taking lots and lots of pictures of everyone.

Just now, when I went to the library to return my books, I drop by this place called Food for Thought. It's a quaint lil cafe, with good food. I've ordered the Basil Pesto Chicken Sandwich and yummy!!! There are just so many things to eat, so I have decided to go there with my god-bro, whom I meeting for lunch next week. It's just so nice...pictures of the sandwich below:-
