Concoction
Am currently running a fever that peaked at 39.4 deg yesterday afternoon. Have a slightly phlegmy cough too, otherwise I'm actually playing, eating and drinking normally. Had to down this fever, flu and phlegm concoction after my evening milk. And though I willingly shot it into my mouth (in exchange for a new strip of stickers), I spat everything out onto my shirt a couple of seconds later.

Eat With Your Family Day
Mama picked me up slightly earlier today, and we took a bus down to Alexandra to meet papa for dinner. Slouching while waiting for papa's bus to arrive.
Decided to squat down eventually as mama insisted that she didn't want to carry me.
Happy to see papa! Matching tops ...
... and matching poses!
My pudgy fingers couldn't resist pulling the plate of pasta to myself while mama was snapping a pic of the food! Finished the entire plate of pasta and most of the fries eventually. Woah!
Didn't want to eat the veg on the table, but was more than happy to feed mama with tomatoes and peas.
Trivia: "Eat With Your Family Day" was initiated by the Centre for Fathering in 2003.
Staying put
Just found out that we didn't manage to get a space at LV @ Biopolis next month. Guess we'll be staying put at LV @ TLL, since the earliest available slot that the school can accomodate us is probably after August. Well, this may not be such a bad thing after all, since we really like the environment, teachers and programs at LV @ TLL. We'll just have to consider getting a family car then, as the current arrangement of having mama send/fetch Kaizer from school will get increasingly challenging when the 3rd trimester kicks in next month.

Acting like a baby
Found a teat while I was sitting on the kitchen top on Monday and decided that I wanted to act like a baby that evening! Enthusiasm didn't last too long though, cos I went back to drink with a straw after having taken less than 5 sips of milk.
Mosquito bites
Snacked on teddy puffs on the kitchen top on Monday evening since I didn't eat too much of the mee sua that was served for dinner.
Ate like a ravished person!
Por por, this is a close up of the 7 mozzie bites that mama was telling you over the phone about. They've caused me quite a bit of discomfort on Sunday and Monday night. Most of the bumps (except two) have since subsided.
Amateur haircut
Was sweating so profusely on Sunday evening that mama sat me in front of the computer to watch youtube clips while she hurridly whipped out a pair of scissors to snip my hair.
Squirmed a bit while the right sideburns were trimmed, but the end result turned out alright.
Kept still while the left sideburns were trimmed, but the end result looked ugly in papa's opinion ...
... that is, until he's seen the back, which is ultra ugly and "tut" beyond imagination. Haha!

Review of the Siloso Beach Resort
It took us quite a while to get to the resort, which was located two tram stops away from the Sentosa Express station. Here's the entrance to the beach resort.
The entire resort had a rather natural and rugged feel to it, since there was foliage everywhere.
Was shocked that the shared spaces in the resort were entirely non-air conditioned (lift lobbies, corridors and cafe). While this was really environmentally friendly, it was a pain on the first day when the weather was sweltering hot.
Room was tinier than I expected ...
... but the comfortable bed more than made up for it. Only grouse - the floor was carpeted; would have been more eco if it wasn't.
Jacuzzi was located at the second level of our suite. The layout reminded me of the Banyan Tree seaside villa at Bintan. I much preferred the jacuzzi at Siloso Beach Resort though, as it was newer and visibly cleaner.
View from the jacuzzi (PS: From where we sat, we could actually the fireworks from the musical performance at night.)
Outdoor gym which looked rather under-utilized by the hotel guests.
Pool area was surrounded by lots and lots of trees ...
... and here's our favourite part of the pool - the slides! Behind the slide's a waterfall feature that's eight stories high.
Day 3: Bye Sentosa!
Whipped out our camera too late, else we would have caught a nice picture of the resort's resident squirrel at breakfast.
Posing like a pageant contestant before heading off to the pool.
Cutie prints!
Decided that I wanted to try to float on my own on the last day.
Resting like a baby on papa after the swim.
The bilibos are meant to protect mama's modesty, haha!
Waiting for the tram to pick us up so that we could get to mainland in time for my afternoon nap at home at last!
Day 2: Swimming and more swimming
Woke up pretty late at 8 plus, but continued lazing in bed for a while before I was dragged to breakfast.
Our first activity after breakfast was swimming!
We bought along our set of spades to the pool, which reminds us that Jesse's set of spades is still sitting on our shelves.
Didn't want to slide down on my own, and papa was more than happy to carry me through. In fact, he had more gos at the slide than I did!
We went around the pool with the rubber floats even though the water wasn't really deep.
Clinging on to papa ... aww sweet!
After the pool, it was water time again in the jacuzzi!
Pretending to be a wizard with my green pail ...
... and being absolutely entertained by my own antics!
Continued to be in a very good mood after I've gotten out from the jacuzzi.
We took the Sentosa express to Vivo for lunch.
One of the rare family pics on the trip, since we don't have a tripod for this camera.
Had lunch at Marche ...
... which is surprisingly a very child-friendly restaurant.
Mama's seafood/chix paella turned out to be pretty good, even though it looks very messy in this picture.
Lunch was really quick, as I had to get back for my nap. And guess what I wanted to do right after I woke up? Swim! Too bad the weather turned a little dismal, and I spent only 30 mins at the jacuzzi.
The rest of the evening was spent snacking on crackers, strawberries, banana and ribena while we waited for the rain to stop. Mama took the chance to catch Vantage Point on HBO in the meanwhile.
After the movie, we spent an hour at the jacuzzi before I konked out. Mama on the other hand, watched a rerun of the American Idol finale till the wee hours of the night (Kris who? Adam should have won!) ...
