Heard a lot of reviews on the Wetland broadwalk at Jalan Halus so we decided to check it out over the weekends and the cloudy weather was excellent for outdoor activities. It took us quite a while to get there as the entrance is at a pretty secluded area.

The huge open space was a pleasant surprise. Am so glad that we brought Yee Sinn's scooter. I have never seen her scoot around such long distances. Having a nice flat ground also helps.

Kids sure pick up skills very fast. I bought her the scooter about 3 weeks ago and now she's able to zip around pretty steadily. Hubby was initially unsure about me getting it for her and I'm glad I did.

As it was nice and windy, we took several (photo) breaks along the trail to enjoy the scene. There were plenty of seats around the river too.

This is my cheeky little girl. She has been trying to pull herself to stand lately. I'm sure she'll be able to do so in 1-2 weeks. She's one tough cookie... very determinded and has a mind of her own.

Here's a photo of our entire family. I love my folks to bits. I love being a mother to my 2 little girls. My experiences with both of them have been very different. Sure, there are often challenges managing them on my own without the help of a maid but I guess it only gets easier when they grow up.

We came across plenty of Cat-tails along the way. Yee Sinn and Yee Ruu were quite fascinated with their "furry furry" flowers. We could even blow them away with the more matured plants.

Ahh... here's the picture of the fluffy clouds and blue blue sky. It rained earlier in the morning, making the weather very pleasant for walks. Wish the weather every weekend will be just as nice so that we can go out for our walks more often.

There were some eateries at the other end of the broadwalks. We decided to settle our dinner at one of the chinese resturant. We were lucky to be early as the queue became very long mid way through our dinner. Service sucks big time there though, as they were very short handed. I had to go to the cashier to pick up my own bills! Could have actually walked off without paying. :P

8 of us from work had a little adventure yesterday. We bought cheap air tickets ($1 without taxes) to KL for a day trip. We bascially went there early in the morning, shopped and eat till we dropped before we flew back at night. It was a great all girls' day out. :-)

It's national day weekend and we're all looking forward to our staycation at Sentosa. Yee Sinn had a mini National day celebration at school in the morning. We dressed her up in the usual red and white and gave her a huge Diaso-bought Singapore flag. She was more excited about the staycay than school though.

We booked the entire family into Festive Hotel at Resort World for 3 days 2 nights. It has a nice family unit that comes with a loft bed, a king size bed and a sofa bed. The 2 girls slept on the sofa bed while Grandma Lee had the honor of the loft bed. It was quite a bliss to be able to sleep on a nice huge king size bed after such a long while....

We checked out the pool at Hard Rock Hotel. The kids just LOVE it. It comes with a clean sand play area so it was as good as being out at the beach. Yee Ruu also had her first taste of swimming and guess what? She loves the water! I had to thank my colleague who passed down her kid's pre-loved swimwear and float.

We visited the sand with pool almost every day while we were there. We were very lucky that the weather was excellent for outdoor activities. Above is a picture of Yee Sinn writing her name on the sand.

Hubby and the girls also had a great time building sandcastles and other sand structures. Yee Sinn had a go at hold her sand in her hands and patting them down while "helping" her dad out. One good outcome of the daily swim is that the kids tend to eat more and sleep more soundly. They practically zonked out the moment their head touches the bed. So while they were asleep, Grandma Lee would be watching her programs in the room while hubby and I will sneak out for a drink.

This picture was taken after cleaning up Yee Ruu and tugging her in for her morning nap. Thinking of making the best use of our stay, we continued playing at the pool.

Here's Yee Ruu thinking of where to go for our next staycation!
