so.. the boring family went for a staycation at Crowne Plaza Hotel AGAIN!

on our third stay, we were given a free upgrade to the suite and it was so shiok that fat X decided to book the suite again for our fourth stay!

the room

this was the toilet at the room entrance

the room was pretty dark when we first entered. it had a long work desk and a sofa. excited kid was not part of the room.

while i was busy taking pictures, the phua’s had already started exploring the place.

the “pantry” area with coffee machine (which we did not use at all), electric kettle, and an assortment of teas and coffee beverages.

the main sleeping area, with king-sized bed

the wardrobe area that is the size of a small HDB bedroom!

the main bathroom with two sinks, a bathrub on the left, and shower stall and toilet on the right. kpo baby sold separately.

excited children behaving like they’ve never been to a bathroom before.

eldest son chilling on the bed, watching TV.

kiki and cj chilling out at the Lounge, where nice coffee and cookies are served for VIP guests. all. day. long.

you see.. that’s why we did not touch the coffee machine in the room at all. why make your own coffee when there are people who can make nice coffee for you?

nice floral centerpiece on the coffee table.

someone wondering if the flowers are edible

had to buy snacks to keep her seated TuT

the sofa in front of the study desk? it opens up to a bed (and this was where the twins slept!)

silly baby had so much fun falling into the mattress :’D

random photo of baby shoes because.. i think the nicest thing about having a girl is this. baby girl shoes are too cute!

i love this photo! the didi and meimei hiding behind a wall, ready to jump on the papa and gor gor.. hee hee..

meimei checking out the gym

wefie on the sofa bed :’D

when you have three young kids, it’s tough to get a photo where everyone looks into the camera

you end up with pictures like this

after about 100 tries, you finally get one where everyone is looking at the camera, but your eldest son is out of focus.. >.<

回家咯！

overall, it was a great staycation! although it’s already our fourth time here, the kids were not bored with the activities because this time round it was “The Great American Vacation” and there were lots of free activities for the young. not to mention the free popcorn and cotton candy!

Happy  猴年 to you!! My origami monkeys and 财神爷 sibeh cute right?

Thanks to my total lack of self-control (i single-mouthedly finished one tub of love letters in a week), i fell sick just before the arrival of fire monkey. So i was down with a clogged sinus, painful throat, and headache from hell on 初一。

Then, little kiki developed fever on 初二。

I was supposed to start work today  (初三) but kiki was still feverish.

My downstairs gp was still enjoying his cny bak kwa and whatnot (a.k.a. his clinic was closed today) and i was desperate for a child mc (also, because I’m running out of fever meds and have no flu meds at home) so i registered kiki at the pd clinic next door.

TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

i registered at 10-ish in the morning and at around 11, i was told to return at 12pm to see the doc. Our queue number was 33 and when we returned at 12, the queue number was like 22. It was 19 when we left  meaning the doctor only saw like 3 patients in an hour? And the saddest thing is.. i saw the SAME PEOPLE waiting in the clinic. Don’t these people have anything better to do? Life is too precious to be spent inside a clinic, waiting to see a doctor.
The clinic staff told me to go home and come back at 2.45pm. Yeah right, i am so going to spend my day off rushing to and fro just so i could get some fever and cold meds from an overpaid doctor.

I brought kiki home and set off to the shops near tiong bahru plaza, because there are so many clinics there, surely one of them must be open right?

I was so elated when i saw people sitting outside dr chua’s clinic. HIS CLINIC WAS OPEN!!!

The best thing was.. the clinic does not break for lunch and i was told to come back in an hour’s time to see the doc and when we went over after an hour, we really went in to see the doc! No bullshit about coming back at 4pm etc. 真是爱死他了！

I have never brought my kids to see a pd and this is exactly why. Freaking waste of time. Why do you need to see a specialist for common shit like flu and fever?

Ok i shall end my rant. Really need to get this shit off my chest  ^_^;

Let’s now admire some wefies we took on 初一 while waiting for tb to finish pooping. I really hope he kicks this habit. 每次要出门了才要大便。knn..

Every birdie smile for the camera!

Every birdie still smiling..

Kiki quickly got bored.. look at her stone face when the three of us were monkeying around.. 可见默契是要培养的！我们母子怎么说也有了六年多的默契了！

and her wtf face.. haha haha..

ok lah, 不聊了.. now junpig is having fever also and i need to make another trip to dr chua’s clinic.. le sigh ~
