Just checked out from a 3D2N stay at Festive Hotel, RWS. Dajie sweetly and thoughtfully booked the hotel for us to spend the weekend and celebrate Mummy's day! All of them except me checked in on Friday at 1pm while I can only join them after work at 4pm. Took the boardwalk for the first time and walked 525m into sentosa. Thankfully in flats, but with my barang barang and the super hot weather, not very fun. 

Our 467 room. Pleasant surprise with an upper deck bed which was so cosy for me and mei for 2 nights, slept and watched the elections from up there. Really love that but dangerous for our little prince who keeps climbing up and down. Cosy enough for all 7 of us. Nicely decorated room. Shiok shower. Overall experience very good. =)
 The surprise our little prince made for his beloved Grandma. Dajie said he wrote all the letters 'I LOVE U' all by himself without any assistance. Good job Wayne!
 All ready to go for a swim!! Look at how happy our 小飞鱼 is. His eyes sparkles when he touches water.
 The swim team! Not really a swim, more of play water instead. But water is very dirty, quite gross. Nevertheless, we had fun! Esp for Wayne.
 Dinner at Singapore Seafood Republic by Tunglok group, Jumbo etc. Food is good.
 The balloon incident. The restaurant gave Wayne a balloon which caused a little episode. He accidentally released the balloon up into the air. Upon seeing the balloon fly further and further away into the sky, his face changed immediately and starting crying his lungs out upon realising that he's going to lose the balloon forever. Words cannot describe his expression then. It's like, he was happily playing and watching it (left pic). At first he didn't know what happened, just watching on innocently. Then he slowly realised as it flies away and he didn't know that it will fly away just like that. Scared? Feeling of losing? That is the exact feeling I get. Similar to dropping something into the deep sea. Doesn't feel very good. Even after 2 days as I'm typing away now, each time I recall that incident, I still feel affected. I saw the entire episode hence his expression while watching it fly away and cries are still very vivid. Although he recovered quite fast after we got him another one but that affected me till now. After that, he held on to his balloon so tightly for fear of losing it again. At the end of the day, it's a lesson learnt for him.
 Caught the Crane Dance which we thought was really impressive. Shows everyday except Tues at 9pm. Worth watching.
 Day 2, elections day. Something quite anti-climax. So all of us had to come out from RWS to our respective stations just to cast our votes before heading back to USS. Had breakfast at Yong He first. Coincidentally, we were dressed in our respective decisions, PAP vs Opposition.
 All of us in the car off to our stations. My very first time. Quite exciting.
 After casting our votes, we rushed back to conquer USS. Thankfully we didn't waste too much time because of the voting. Family pictures before we went separate ways. Me and mei were determined to conquer all the rides while the rest of them can only conquer the shows having young and old.
 Wayne loves the woodpecker. Went to hug it and wanted to take a picture. Come to think of it we were too engrossed in conquering the rides that we forgot to take pictures with the characters.
 Our biggest achievement, the famous Battlestar. Deserves a whole collage coverage. First ride we took and after this, all the other rides were just, small case. Took both the red and the blue and agreed that the blue is more challenging while Dajie and BIL thinks it's the red. Equally challenging actually but shiok.
 All the other rides and shows we went for. 4D, Monster Rock, Revenge of the Mummy, Waterworld, Canopy Flyer, and some kiddy rollercoaster which i underestimated, and some misc. Nice.
 Our 'lunch' and 'teabreak'. The calamansi slush got to be the best and saved me greatly from potential heatstroke.
 Dinner at Bait, Din Tai Feng. Yummy. Loves Xiao Long Bao.

 Complimentary flower and mango mousse cake for the mommies. Happy Mummy day to both mommies!
 Our instant little present for mummy. Hot from the oven.
 Day 3, Mother's Day. Little prince playing around the room in the morning. Presenting presents to Grandma and flower to his mummy.
 Breakfast at Fiesta restaurant. Quite good. Salmon!!
 Checking out and presenting flower and card. Wayne checking out every corner of the lobby while his mummy went to settle the check out. Running all over the place and having so much fun. Look at how he obediently holds the flower and card as instructed by his dad and went to look for his mummy. Took a video on that. Really ultra cute.
So that's our splendid weekend! Second happening weekend consecutive. Hoping for more to come!!
