Singapore Day 3: The Last Day

We weren't too surprised when you only woke up at 9am (it was a very long day yesterday). As usual, mummy was already up by then and showered. That way, it's one less person fighting for the bath. And since you used the bathtub while daddy used the shower, there was no queue that way. Like yesterday, you went down in your PJs and the rest of the family were already there, having breakfast. Ah Kong wasn't around as he'd already gone off for a golf game with Uncle KK. Again, you were given the nice highchair, plate and cutlery. This time they also gave you a nice plastic cup. Like yesterday, mummy got you cereal and also shared with you my cheese omelet. On top of that you had one whole chawan mushi (small cup only la..)
After everyone was ready, daddy passed the ang pow collected from last night which was kept in our room back to Aunty Lee Mei and we were all packed, we moved our luggage to Kor Poh and Aunty Sue's room. After that we checked out and were off on our way to Takashimaya in Orchard Road for a little look-see. Nothing much to buy, so we just walked around and headed to Paragon across the road for a little more look-see before heading to the dim-sum restaurant, Crystal Jade Palace. Again, you were given a highchair along with a plastic plate and a spoon. The food there was superb, especially the roast pork. You enjoyed the pau and some other things.

After another round of kisses (you've been giving endless kisses to everyone this trip to Singapore...) to your aunts and grand aunts, we took another cab back to the hotel to pick up our luggage and wait for Ah Kong to return with Uncle KK and Aunty Ruth. They arrived shortly after we arrived at the hotel. We said a quick bye bye to Uncle Eu Jin and Aunty Lourdes (with more kisses) and also to Aunty Ruth. As the car can only carry 5 adults, she decided to go shopping in Suntec City while Uncle KK took us around before dropping us at the airport.
We started off with a tour of Sentosa Island. You decided to sleep just as we entered the island. We did not visit this part of the island on day1 as it was the private part of the island accessible only to selected people. There were beautiful bungalows and condominiums (very expensive) that were being built there. Our next stop was the private marina club, ONE °15 (the location of the club off the Equator), which Uncle KK was a member. Mummy had to carry you as we walked around the club house. You must've been very tired as you did not wake up to the loud noise as there was a Halloween Party going on for children with a clown entertaining them. The view there was amazing. There were yachts docked there. And what caught our attention was this:
Hehe.. having a snack in your swimsuit. No need to get out of the pool! Cool, eh?

All this while you were sleeping. And you continued to sleep until we arrived at the airport. I guess it was a little noisy in the airport and you had already napped for 1 hours, so you opened your eyes (with that grouchy look) while we checked in for our return flight to Penang. While waiting to board the plane, we went to look at the shops around the airport. Mummy got you a little Thomas the Tank Engine. As you were still a little grumpy, you didn't want to play with the train. Never mind. Soon it was time to go to the departure gate and board our plane.

Again, we got priority to board as we were travelling with you. The nice stewardess brought you the extension seat belt and also a Sponge Bob baggage tag for you. Again you were served the "post-weaning" meal which had the same egg and jam sandwiches. On top of that, there was a strawberry mousse cake, jelly and a box of fresh milk. You tried most of the food, except for the jelly. So mummy had that *grin*.

Just as we were landing, you made a big fuss. Mummy tried my best, but I could not calm you down. Guess why? Coz you wanted to do a poo! Yikes.. and so mummy had to make "mmm..mmmm" sound to help you poo. And you had a relieved expression on your face. Too bad for the rest of them on the flight, as they were treated to your "aromatherapy". Hehe.. luckily we were seated near to the front of the plane and so we quickly took you to the nearest bathroom to change you.

We took a taxi back to our house to be greeted by an overexcited Furbie. I'm sure you missed him too.

I can imagine how aromatic that experience must have been.
