Sentosa trip... :-) Day 1
Back from Sentosa. Enjoyed the trip thoroughly, though my back is aching. Look like my slip disc strikes back :-(. Was already painful before the trip but look like it is worst now. Anyway, that's another matter.
The offer was hillview and not seaview. Seaview will be $260+++per night. Tat is beyond my budget. Anyway in the lift, before the fllor closed, TCS compere Zhong Qin came in. haha. And my dad din even noe. Anyway, she stayed at 11 floor while ours was 7. She intiated the talking.. she said thank you and I said welcome. HAHA~!
My dad came along with us on the first day. It was a historical day too. The lsat day of monorail. After checking in, we immediately headed for monorail, for the last ride. My children enjoyed it. They were excited about it. Hanern enjoyed it very much. He always like to ride on train.
Monorail is as usual slow and warm. I dun really enjoy riding on monorail. But riding on it brought back memories. The first time I rode on it was when I was in Sec. 4. They were playing Richard Clayderman peices.. non-stop and repeating. Iwas with some of my closest secondary school friends, Swee Kim, Su Hiang. We were going for a camp. i think.. can't really remember. That year also was when Singapore changed to the present set of coins. It was an impt yeat for me. It was finsihing of O level and uncartainity of the future. We camp at the beach, when it was very popular then, before siloso beach took over the glory. We had bbq, camp in a tent. I remember they sabo one guy by putting bread into his brief. I will let u imagine how it was arranged. Anyway, he din noe until he woke up in the morning. Haha. We sat besides the sea and talked about good times and worries of future. I would never expect I am where I am now. We so worry about if I could pass my english den. :-) God is good.
Back to the present! We stopped at the departure for a tea break at Deli france (spell correctly?). The we decide to travel back to Harbour front. for dinner and shopping ... haha. Silly rite? Sentosa food too expensive la. My son got tired and so my father and myself took turn to carry the 14.5kg boy. Back-breaking. Anyway ate at noodle hut. And shopped abit to buy supper and breakfast. Dad left for home. It was nice to have him with us. My son likes to 'play' with him. He spent the afternoon combing my dad hair... very punky hairstyle. We wanted to go musical fountain but too tired. So headed for hotel, bath them and sleep. They were really tired.. so it was no struggle.. hee hee.
I am glad we has a good time.. nice tat my dad was with us. Took a pic with him on the momorail.. just 2 of us... it been quite a while since we took a pic of just 2 of us.
