Legoland Hotel Staycation
Date : 22-23rd Feb 2014
After resisting the temptation to try out the new LEGOLAND Hotel when it 1st open in Dec, we finally "gave in" and book a night to surprise the kids. It cost us around SGD$320+ after a 25% discount!. This is really expensive considering we can stay in a 5* Hotel like MBS or Fullerton in Singapore at this price..
Apart from the Theme (Pirate) in the room, the rest of the hotel is pretty basic. We don't feel much "luxury" around the hotel. Saw in some online forums that LEGOLAND says they are not a star rated hotel but a Themed Hotel. But Disneyland Hotel is also a Theme Hotel but everywhere in the hotel we can feel the "Luxury" factor from the lobby, restaurant to the rooms.
Infact, we feel the "Bricks Restaurant" where the breakfast is held gives us a feeling of being in "Ikea" rather than a SGD$300++ hotel.
The Kids as usual enjoyed the stay as we can stroll back to the hotel after playtime in the park.
We will be trying out the Traders Hotel in Puteri harbour by Shangri-La group which is 30% cheaper.
We also tried returning via Woodlands Causeway instead of Tuas 2nd link which seems to have a constant "jam" for close to 40mins..we will not try this route and will stick to Tuas in future.
The simple Receptionist area, look more like an office than a Hotel main reception

Gabriel turns 3!!
Date : 25th Jan 2014
Gabriel turns 3 on the 26th Jan. We celebrated this special event with close family and friends 1 day earlier on this cool Saturday afternoon.
Mummy spend a lot of effort on the decorations and almost all are DIY..banners, pirate hat, customised kitkat and buffet dish name display..
The centre of attention is a Jake and Neverland Pirate cake which is fully sponsored by Mummy. She says its all well worth it as long as it brings a smile to Gabriel's face..

Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts 11th Visit to Legoland
Date : 15th Feb 2014
after a 2 months hiatus, we are again back to LEGOLAND. Gabriel is 3 YO this visit and we are pondering whether to get an annual pass for him. Checking out the ticket counter, we saw a promotion where we can purchase a Kids day ticket (RM110) and convert it into an annual pass (RM210). that's a saving of RM100, so we proceeded to get one for him.
When its time to take his picture for the pass, he just refused to pose and look at his exaggerated expression

Underwater Camera
Date : 3rd Jan 2014
Daddy finally changed his smartphone from Apple to Android..the new handset is a Sony Xperia Z1 which won him over with its waterproof functions and shock, dust, scratch proof features.
On the 3rd day of getting the phone, we took it to the pool for the ultimate test..Underwater photography..
the Phone passed its test with flying colors..some glitches aside on the touch sensitivity, the clarity of the image is fantastic..
we will definitely be taking this phone into unexplored territories for more pictures of the kids..

Newer Posts <- -> Older Posts Gabriel 1st Day at Pre-Nursery
Date : 2nd Jan 2014
Although we mentally prepared Gabriel for his 1st day in pre-nursery, he still suffered separation anxiety and "suffered" during his 1st 2 weeks. He will cry, throw tantrums in the morning before school. Our helper needs to carry, coax and "drag" him to school daily. Luckily Grandpa, Grandma and Great Aunt Magdelene all chipped in and ensure that Gabriel is well taken care in class and after.
Grandpa Phay visited Gabriel almost daily and walk him back and after 2 weeks, the crying ceases..the tantrum throwing stops and whats left is cheerful toddler who will start to break into simple dance and song every now and then.
Into the 4th weeks, he is singing our national anthem and some nursery rhymes..he made some friends in matthew, Kayla..
His adaption is so much faster than Raphael kor kor compared to when he 1st started Apple Tree.
