JJZZJ Days Of Our Lives

Josh and I never expected ourselves to come back to the Hotel which we wedded in 10 years later with not 1 or 2, but 3 children. Our youngest is definitely a great joy to have around. He is responsive and he laughs spontaneously. He observes his surroundings and he initiates play or expresses what he wants to you. And …. he plays peek-a-boo with you!

The hotel has changed much. The rooms are no longer the same. They have been re-designed. Of course they look better now (have to right?). Thanks to a dear friends’ arrangement and planning, instead of our usual Changi V Hotel, we get to come here. Truly there are malls and more varieties of shops and eateries around. There are more people too. We had to time our outdoors’ adventures.

It was a very relaxing trip and very managable as Zane is familiar with the place. We also try to go to familiar places for meals. Even the baby knew that it was holiday time and he fought sleep as hard as he could. He slept very late on both nights and protested each time he was in the play pen.

The best part of the holiday was when the children were all asleep. It was like finally all the busyness stopped. BUT, sleeping in the same room was no easy feat. The middle child had to be kept quiet as his noises would wake the baby. The baby needed a longer time to be put back to sleep if he was awakened. The baby also had to be quiet lest he woke his brother up too and the whole floor of holidayers would not get to sleep in the middle of the night. I know I am exaggerating but think you get the picture. I don’t know about Josh but I am nursing a backache now.

The second best part of the holiday was to have tea with missy and my dear friend without the boys. These two really sap all my energies constantly. To be away from them for that 2 hours was blissful. I could just sit and relax. I could browse at the shops along the way to the dinner venue.

What did I not like ? Hmmmm  ….. let’s see …. Oh yes, that irritating auntie at Xin Wang cafe. How I wish she would trip. I think only her. Ha …. I did tell myself one more time she came over to bug us, I would ask to speak to her manager. Thankfully, the nice retail staff at two shops made shopping very pleasant and kinda cancel the rudeness that auntie lashed out at us. The person who gleaned most from the shopping is Jeff !! He has more outing clothes now. Should be able to last him for 6 to 12 months, unless he grows that fast lah . Thanks again, J !

Like I posted in FB, J didn’t know that Nov 28 is a special date to Josh and I. Somehow, all timings fitted in perfectly. This dear friend of mine is such a detailed person that she even looked into the complementary carpark pass for Josh even though her husband and her do not drive. When the carpark gentry’s machine flashed “Please pay $90.95.”, both Josh and I jumped. Hahaha …. very thankful.

I came home refreshed and blessed. Thank You, God!
