ANGEL'S FIRST SWIM.
[04.03.12]

Polaroids taken by my sil.

Went to Tanah Merah Country Club.

The swimming pool was under renovation, thus we didn't bring the girls swimming for quite awhile.

Finally the renovations was done.

And we all decided to go swimming together, as a family!

=)

All of us squeezed in a car,
on our way there.

Seraphina. ♥

Angelica. ♥

Arrived at about 5pm.

Got the girls changed into their swimsuits.

So cute in identical swimsuits!!
=)

At the changing room.

Love their newly renovated changing room!

Clean and neat and fully air conditioned!

Bathrooms are separated by the glass door in the middle.

And you can sit and powder yourself at the mirror or blow your hair dry (fully provided) at the right side!

New lockers!

The olympic size pool.

Baby and kiddy pool.
(Comes with a new slide too!)

Hubby with the girls.
♥

Angel very happy to be in the pool!

Sera still warming up..

We brought our own floats!
(Yes, it's the same float since Sera's first swim.)
=)

Oh so cute in the whale float! ♥

Sera wearing arm floats.

(Which we also bought together with the whale float.)

So sweet together.
=)

After awhile, we decided to migrate from the baby pool to the kiddy pool.

(Which was actually separated by a parapet wall.)

The baby pool isn't deep.

Water level was slightly below Angel's waist.

Look at her expression!
LOL!!!

Sera terrified of the new transition.

Angel posing for a photo.

(Much too happy to be in the BIG KIDS pool.)

♥

Hubby trying to persuade Sera over.

Still hesitating...

SO....

We finally decided to swap floats.

Sera to take the whale float & Angel the arm floats.

Still a little terrified...
But we finally managed to persuade her into the kiddy pool.

YAY!

Angel was very much happy
with the float switch too!

Enjoying herself!
=)

Bil, sil, hubby & the 2 girls!

We were all debating to go or not to go down the slide.

Decided NOT TO.

Because we were afraid our asses might get stuck half way,
as the slide was meant for kids. LOL!

As Tanah Merah Country Club is near Changi,

we would very often see the planes flying over head.

And the girls would get all excited and point at them!!

=)

Daddy & Angel. ♥
Look at how excited she is!

And that's yeye,
teaching her to do the breast stroke.

So after that,

we decided to let Angel float by herself without us supporting her.

"Hey! Where did everybody go??"

Very proud of her!
Clever girl waddling by herself on her first swim!
=)

After that, we headed back to the baby pool.

Just to lounge and play for awhile before hitting the showers.

The club actually renovated the children's shower room as well!

And they added a small little kids gym beside the cafe near the pool.

I LIKE!!!

The girls all pretty and ready to go!

Heading to Garden View Restaurant.

(Which was just a level above the pool.)

It was hubby's birthday in 5 days time.

So had a nice dinner there to celebrate his birthday.

Been to the restaurant many times already.

But I still absolutely LOVE the food there!

Candid picture of Sera.

Doing her usual "Number 1" pose.
(Sera, Y U NO have new pose???)

Candid shot of my cheery Angel.
=)

Pretending to eat.

Playing peek-a-boo across the table.

So we had a wonderful day.

And still planning to go for our next swim again!

But it has been the raining the past 2 Sundays.

Hope it won't rain this Sunday!!

Maybe we would be able to go again!

Hubby's Birthday.
[09.03.12]

Hubby came back from work that Friday and asked if we were going out.

Bluffed him and said we were going out shopping.

Can see his not-very-happy face.

LOL!

But I actually had dinner planned already.

=)

Astons @ The Cathay.

If you had eaten at Astons before, you should know that they don't take reservations.

Was abit worried the queue might be very long.

Cos everytime we were at The Cathay to catch movies,

the queue is like super LONG!!!

IT'S SCARY!

So decided to take the chance to bring hubby to Astons to try.

Was recommended & read reviews that the food was good.
It was affordable.
Hubby had requested for steak on his birthday.

THANKFULLY.

We didn't have to wait very long to get a place cos the queue was very short!

=)

However, the restaurant itself is quite small and tables were placed very close together, probably to accommodate more people cos the outlet there is apparently quite hot.

Busy playing Draw Something,
while waiting for the food..

(Didn't edit the pic. Just that the flash was on
and made me look whiter then usual. LOL!)

Stone face.

They serve IBC root beer!!
(I'm a sucker for root beer btw, if you didnt know. =D)

Ordered our steaks, with complimentary 2 side dishes of your choice.

From my experience with eating steaks,

was abit skeptical the steaks might be small and thin cos it was REALLY affordable!

My 180g medium done
ribeye steak.

Hubby's 400g medium rare done
porterhouse steak.

I was pleasantly surprised my steak was done just the way I had ordered it.

Usually when I ordered steaks as medium,

it would come to me as medium well-done or medium rare. =(

AND ALSO..

I couldn't finish my steak.

Which means it was a solid thick piece of meat!

=)

Total bill - $51.40.

AFFORDABLE RIGHT?

So after dinner, managed to psycho hubby to go to Plaza Singapura with me.

Bluffed him again that I wanted to go Daiso to get stuffs.

=P

But actually I had already bought tickets for a movie which he ALSO had been telling me he wanted to watch.

Act of Valor .

Initially I wasn't exactly interested in the show.

Cos it was a WAR show..

But it was actually quite nice, although the story line was pretty predictable.

=)

Hubby's present.

He kept pestering me & asking me what it was.

(Cos I presented it to him a few hours before his birthday to "torture" him. Muahaha!!)

Hubby: "Tell me, what category does it (the present) falls under??"

Me: "Food."

Why food you ask me?

Cos it's 'APPLE' product mah.

GEDDIT GEDDIT??

LOL!!!!

Ipod touch.
=)

I don't do this very often...

But here is a very hiao picture of me on that day.

=D

Hope hubby had enjoyed his birthday.

It wasn't much. Neither was it a big or grand or expensive celebration.

But still, I hope it had meant something to him.

Because everything I had planned, was tailored to what he had wanted

=)

I love you dear.
