SNG Trip : Day 3 - Universal Studios

Day 3: Universal Studios Singapore (USS) - The much awaited trip for the family. We decided to go here on a Monday, to avoid too many people and long lines at the park. Of course, we are very much excited. We woke up early and decided to go to USS after breakfast. Tip: buy USS tickets online as the entrance to park tickets already sold when we arrived at 1030am. Yes, surprisingly sold that day, on a Monday!

SNG Trip : Day 2 - Sentosa Park

After our tiring zoo trip the day before, we decided to have late buffet breakfast at the hotel. I also joined the little bratinella for a morning swim at the hotel's lap pool. Since I forgot to bring my alli weight loss diet pill on the trip, I've decided to shed all those buffet food I had by swimming and doing some lapses for thirty minutes.

Anyway, our itinerary for the day starts with our lunch at Vivo City, Food Republic. Had few pics at Vivo City.

Then from Vivo City, we rode the Sentosa Express as we go to Sentosa Resort. Our first stop at Sentosa, Mt. Imbiah. We entered the 4D shows: Pirates, Iceland Adventure and Cowboy Fun and for posterity sake, had our photos taken at the famous Merlion landmark (the miniatur version at Sentosa). Then by night time, off we go to Beach Station to watch Songs of the Sea - a musical spectacular shows on lights, water, fire and sound. A must watch at Sentosa. Entrance fee: $10 per person.

diet alert

Seriously, the husband should lose weight too! Just look at his pictures from our recent Singapore trip. He badly needs to shed off those unwanted tummy-fats. I've been trying to remind him for months now that he's slowly gaining weight, but he's very adamant that he can easily lose weight if he wants to. As per him, he's gifted with strong will-power and determination to do it. That is ... if he put his mind and heart to it. But lately, with his busy travel schedules with work, he can't squeeze gym time. Hah! And he thinks losing weight would be easy. I've been trying to lose weight ever since I gave birth (and that was seven months ago!) and believe me, it was really challenging and difficult to lose weight. Especially with all those food temptations around. Yay! And to lose weight fast, I've been searching the web for effective and fast diet pills such as Lipofuze. Have you heard anything about this?

SNG Trip : Day 1 - Singapore Zoo and Night Safari

We are back from our four day family vacation from Singapore. We enjoyed the trip so much, in fact it was our first family trip in Singapore ...with no work. We were able to tour the city and enjoy the best attractions.

Day 1: We left Manila early morning to catch the 630am PAL flight. By noon, we already got our room from Peninsula Singapore, near City Hall MRT. We were lucky as we had a lovely view of the Singapore River.

By 3pm, we trooped to Singapore Zoo as we wanted to bring Samantha and see the animals. We also learned from our cabbie driver that the zoo has a new animal attraction, the polar bear from Canada. Hmmm... something to look forward to as we've never seen a polar bear up close and personal.

After enjoying the animals in daylight, we then continued our trip at Night Safari to enjoy the animals during night time. The Night safari opens at 7pm and it was just convenient for us as we just finished our zoo trip by 6pm. As the night safari still close, we then decided to have early dinner at KFC inside the zoo area as we were hungry from all the long walks we had. I was so hungry that time and I think I ate so much. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my diet pill on the trip. Too bad. But nevertheless, diet or no diet, I need all the energy for our trip.

Chanel sunnies

Just received a fab gift from the husband, this time Chanel sunnies. I am supposed to buy this sunglasses for myself from our recent vacation in Singapore last month, but failed due to some last minute change of plans. Good thing that the husband flew the next day to Bangkok, and he got me the sunnies instead at Chanel Siam Paragon. And instead of just buying it for me ... he bought and paid for it, and gave it to me as a gift. Weeee!! Happy, happy! Think this is the best plan to get something from your husband unexpectedly! LOL.

Anyway, as a token of appreciation for the husband's surprise gift, I promised him that the money I am supposed to use for my Chanel sunnies will go directly to our health savings account. You see, we've already established a health fund in case of emergencies in the family. Though the kids not sickies at all, it is still best to have something saved for the family's use. It was the husband's idea, and I think the best gift for the family :)
