USS - RWS

05 Dec 2015 (Sat):

I am really lacking behind in my blog post. There hasn't been any exciting events lined up apart from my recent trip to Taiwan and China.

As promised to Rachel that I will bring them again to USS, today was one.

Again, there were not many pics to show but I will leave you with a couple of pics and videos.

This was a rainy day and the rain did not really stopped till about 5pm... I had to buy USS ponchos and its not cheap, ya know!

Sesame Street Performance:

Happy SG50. Happy Golden Jubilee. Happy 50th Birthday, Singapore.

09 Aug 2015 (Sun):

On the 02 Aug, Rachel got back a check slip after her heath screening and was informed she has got to wear spects.

On the 06 Aug, it was the school celebration for our Nation's Golden Jubilee Birthday on the 09 Aug. Most of the students wore red top and white bottoms; representing our Singapore flag.

Happy 50th Birthday, Singapore. Happy SG50. Happy Golden Jubilee!

And then on the 09 Aug itself, we went into Malaysia and got Rachel her new spects. Approx RM168, about SG60 plus.

After...

Team Nila Appreciation Night @ USS

11 July 2015 (Sat):

A week ago, Lionel brought back a pair of USS tickets and said it was given to everyone who had participated in the recent SEA Games event. However, admission was only from 5pm onwards, all the way till 11pm.

There was a tag given as well. Only those wearing the tags were allowed admission after 8pm as USS will be closed to the public at 8pm.

There will of cos be a few naughty ones who chose to liner on behind after 8pm, thinking that they will still allowed to go on the rides. Haha... Yes, I have noticed that. USS staff were briefed to only allow those wearing tags to go on the rides. And not just any tags but the Team Nila Appreciation Night tags.

Okay with only 2 tickets, we had to decide who would go. Lionel told me initially, they were each given only 1 ticket. Hello! Do the authorities actually expect the younger ones to go into USS by themselves?? In the end, it was the school teachers who gave up their tickets so that the students can have 2 tickets each. Nice gesture!

It was decided that Lionel and myself would go this time round. I promised would bring Rachel to USS soon for the whole day instead. She accepted the arrangement.

There were very few photos taken as we were just strolling and queue-ing for whatever rides and shows that caught our attention. We got wet and laughed ourselves silly. We caught the fire works at 8pm, though stupid me did not remember to video it down.

An evening well spent. A mother and son bonding time.

The Last Kampong

03 May 2015 (Sun):

Unbelievable - I so stunned like vegetable....haha.

Nestled between high rise HDB buildings and condominiums, I did not expect the last lot of kampong still existed in Singapore. Built in 1956, it was the last surviving kampong (Malay word for village) located at Kampong Lorong Buangkok in Hougang.

There were bats flying all around.

Lantern Festival @ Gardens By The Bay

04 Oct 2014 (Sat):

This year, Gardens by the Bay is having a lantern festival celebration, featuring lanterns from different cultures, groups and companies. The 4 kids, together with their ah ma (aka my mil) and myself, went down to soak in the atmosphere. It had been raining earlier on, so the grounds were kinda wet and muddy but that didnt stop the crowd from coming in and by the late evening, it got so crowded that even taking a photo was hard.

I lost the kids and ah ma quite a few times but hey, having a mobile phone on hand would always do the trick of locating them. The kids were told to stay put on the spot if they ever got lost and not to go round looking for the rest. We told them, if possible, asked to borrow a mobile from someone and call us instead. Luckily, all 4 of them stayed close to ah ma.

We left the place around 10pm, took the mrt back and had a late dinner cum supper.

To The Movies..

06 July 2014 (Sun):

A norm for us to watch movies in Malaysia. We caught Transformers - Age of Extinction at Aeon, Bukit Indah again.

And again, we sat only a few rows from the front.

Half price for kids. That's why hubs loved it. :)

Pioneer Seafood

29 June 2014 (Sun):

Food, food and nothing but food. Solely food.

We had dinner at Pioneer Seafood Restaurant along Tuas. I read in some reviews about this place. Ulu location but great food & service.

Newspaper cuttings to promote their restaurant.

They even have KTV rooms available & we actually asked for one. But was rejected: (1) u hv to spent min SGD$500. (2) need to make advance reservations for it.

 

But when we were there, there was only 1 other table occupied beside ours. And the KTV rooms were unoccupied. And by looking at what we have ordered, it was almost close to $500.

 

And how to make advance reservations when we only decided at the last min to have dinner here...

 

However, their answer was still a NO. :(

Hubs had no problem locating this place. He was the one who suggested having dinner here since he passes by this restaurant whenever he has projects along this stretch of road. And I'm surprised the whole family had no objections as well. I was afraid they might find the place too far.

Brinjal with salted fish

Chilli crab.

Herbal duck.

Fried scallop with mango bits.

Oatmeal prawns.

Assam fish.

Salted egg crab.

Sea cucumber.

Sweet n sour pork ribs.

We managed to finish everything between 8A & 4C.

And the bills comes to SGD$442.42 after service charge.
