Hong Kong Disneyland 2011

5-8 May: We brought the kids for a short holiday in Hong Kong again. Daddy & Alicia took the earliest flight while Mummy & Er-gu took the A380 flight with the boys.

Happy & excited boys Disneyland Hotel - where we stayed for the 4 days.

Disneyland, here we come!!!
Tomorrowland: Toy Story station - blasters!

Love this - they hv people walking around with frames for photo-taking
Flying on the spaceship

We were outside the Space Mountain - roller coaster. Within minutes, Daddy & Brandon were gone. Guessed that they must hv gone for the ride. We waited and saw Brandon came out crying!!! He said he din expect it to be so dark and fast. Scary!!!
The Castle
Candy floss

We din queue up at Fantasy Gardens to take photos with Mickey & Friends & Pooh & Friends this round. Instead, took photos with whichever characters we met up with.

Day 2: Breakfast at Enchanted Garden. The highlight was the meeting of the characters.
Outside the ballroom for the Princess makeover. Had wanted to let Alicia try but she was too shy to do it. So, no beautiful princess photos...

We headed to Disneyland again after our breakfast!

Adventureland: Jungle Cruise and the Tarzan's Treehouse. We also managed to catch the Lion King musical which we missed during our last 2 visits.
Lunch at Plaza Inn

Stroller we rented - had to get 2 cos they dun hv the 2 seater like the USS.
While Mummy was shopping for clothes (cos I dirtied my top), Er-gu took photos for them in the store.

Pooh Bear adventure

Watching the parade - the kids love this very much

Er-gu bought ice-cream for the kids to cool down. Caden insisted on having 1 on his own. When Daddy & Mummy refused to let him hold 1, he pestered Er-gu to buy for her. Check out his happy face!
Cinderella's Carousel

Car ride

Of course, we also watched the Golden Mickeys, It's a Small World, Tinkerbell's light-up and Fireworks.

We headed to Citygate for dinner. Pictures taken during the train ride back to the resort.

Day 3 - caught the princesses making an appearance at the hotel lobby before we left for shopping at TST.

Train to TST
Back at hotel for dinner at Crystal Lotus restaurant. Too overly rated. Kids played at Prince Eric Activities Room and listened to bedtime stories before we went to our room.

Day 4 - swimming time! Love the bath robes for the kids.

Left for Citygate for lunch and shopping again before returning to the hotel for more games.

Had dinner at the airport and some last minute shopping. By the time we reached Singapore, it was midnite. We took a maxi cab home and by the time we settled for bed, we're all dead tired.

Jacob Ballas Children's Playground

2 May, Mon (PH): The weather looked gloomy but we still went ahead as planned to bring the kids to Jacob Ballas Children's Playground at Singapore Botanical Gardens.

We went to the nearby Queenstown MacDonald's for lunch.

Excursions

29 Apr, Fri: The kids went on excursions with the school. Alicia & Brandon went to the zoo, while Mummy followed Caden to Underwater World & Dolphin Lagoon, Sentosa.

Excited kids

Heading to Dolphin Lagoon

It was hot!!! But he enjoyed himself very much. He was very close to the dolphins - dunno y the staff chased the others away except him leh...

USS Trip on Brandon's birthday

28 Apr, Thur: As promised, we brought the kids to USS on Brandon's birthday. Had initially wanted the kids to skip school but since they din want to, we went straight after school. Brandon din want to have a celebration in school, cos he wanted Daddy to use the $ saved to buy him another present.

On the way to USS, with his new toy - Ben 10's Rath

Lunch at Earl Swensens, Vivocity

We played more this time... Mummy took fewer photos. : (

Brandon was very brave. We tried the Canopy Flyer at the Lost World for the 1st time, and he took the ride on his own cos Daddy sat with Alicia and Mummy with Caden. Altho afraid, he din cry nor nudge at all. He took the roller coaster ride with Daddy again.

Daddy wanted to try the Galactica rides. Hence, Mummy brought the kids to watch the Monster Rock. Caden fell asleep in the air-con theatre. Minutes into the show, the kids din like. When I woke Caden up, he told me he wanted to watch the show cos it was very nice. Did he even watch? Wahaha!!!

We went to look for Daddy. While below Galactica, I told the kids Daddy was somewhere around. Caden said, "Yah yah!! I can hear Daddy's voice. He's screaming now!" Jus then, we saw Daddy walking towards us. Hilarious!

No matter how Daddy psycho him, Brandon refused to take the ride.

On our way out...
Past the Candylicious store when we headed to Baits (Ding Tai Fung) for dinner.

When we were almost done with dinner, Daddy brought Brandon to put-put. Den, Caden too wanted to put-put. Mummy left Alicia alone at the restaurant after informing the staff. By the time we got back, Daddy told me Brandon took another 3 more xiao-long-tang-bao!!! (BTW, Alicia had already put-put after lunch at Vivo!) It was a put-put day lah!!! : )

We stayed to watch the Crane dance at the waterfront before heading home. By the time they reached home, all were tired out. But, am glad they enjoyed themselves, once again.

Another round of birthday celebration

27 Apr, Wed: Brandon requested to have Sushi Teh for dinner. So, we celebrated his birthday with an ice-cream instead of a cake.

Cousin Val's 18th Birthday

Valarie jie-jie reminded Mummy me to post this - her birthday celebration! We had dinner at Seafood International at Big Splash, followed by a cake from NYDC. Happy 18th birthday!!!
