We are back! We had lots of fun at the 3D2N chalet stay, especially the kids. On Wed afternoon, we checked in around 3p.m with my brother & Jerad. The bungalow was big and really spacious enough to accomodate our whole family. Jovin, as expected was busy going up and down the stairs which really made James & myself tired out. As my parents & sis's family would join us later, we decided to bring Jerad & Jovin to recee the place first. We went to the bowling alley, not to bowl hehe, but to grab some bites. Jovin had her scallop and tofu congee there as she sat on the couch watching the bowlers attentively. We went on to the indoor playground & both of them had so much fun as there were no other kids except for both of them. So they could have the whole place to themselves! Jovin almost let herself free & kept running, laughing, shouting etc. We went to the playpool & Jovin had so much fun with the water that she even did not want us to follow her. haha. Jerad & her were busy splashing water & she happily enjoyed playing with the water guns, water spout etc.
Parents & sis's family soon joined us around 6p.m. Things became alomost uncontrollable with the 4 monsters in unison, haha! We went to the newly opened Jumbo seafood at NSRCC. Food was good & we ordered quite a fair bit not forgetting our favourite chilli crabs! After the sumptous dinner, the whole family of us went back to the indoor playground. This time, with 4 of them together, Jovin had even more fun. The adults read papers, chatted, etc while our kids ran around like monkeys hehe... Dear & I were playing the PSP as Jovin enjoyed with her cousins. Nite time activity, needless to say, is MAHJONG! Mum helped us to settle the kids so that the adults can have their game. We played till 4a.m before we called it a day for day 1.
On Thursday morning, we were woken up by our darling Jovin as usual as she fiddled with my hair, kissed on my cheeks, called mummy so dearly till I couldn't bear to ignore her though I was dead tired. We had a simple breakfast and went to the playpool for a quick dip but didn't stay long as the heat was unbearable then. We went for lunch at Parkway Parade and shopped around till 3p.m before we made our way back to the chalet. Weather was favourable. We brought the kids to the outdoor playground. James & my brother played hide and seek with them, & the kids ran as though they were running for their lives haha! James & I went back for a short nap & passed Jovin to my siblings as we really needed a recharge. When we woke up, the kids were playing water bombs & Jovin happily held the empty ballons running around. We brought the kids for a swim around 5p.m and we went into the baby pool. We were apprehensive about Jovin as she cried the last time she went to the pool at my sis' condo. However, this time round, she's grown up and even walked steadily in the pool. She had fun splashing water, not afraid of water pouring from her head etc. Guess she's really grown up, not a baby anymore. We had dinner at Changi Village. The food was superb! We ordered the famous nasi lemak, stingray, fried noodles, rojak, satay etc. Had a taste of all the great dishes at one shot! As usual, we played mahjong after the kids were setlled but ended earlier as we were really too exhausted and kept dozing off halfway through the session.
We finally checked out this morning. The kids were so reluctant to leave. All of us enjoyed the family stay & the kids really had so much fun. It bonded our family even stronger than before & I'm realy glad I booked the chalet cos it's satisfying to see all of us so happy, especially my mum. She commented it was really more enjoyable than she had thought to be. I'm fortunate to be able to enjoy such family bliss & I hope such blissfulness will remain forever within our family. The chalet stay really strengthened our family ties and I look forward to more of family-bonding activities in the near future.
