Day 1 -

Left our home at 730am or Bros' house for breakfast. We departed at 845am for Tuas Checkpoint. Got there pretty fast since we stay in the western part of Singapore. Kids dozed off soon after crossing Malaysia Customs. We had couple of stops for toilet breaks and lunch. By about 2pm, we were on our way up to Genting Highlands. Half way up the mountain, Keira needed to pass motion... gosh what a timing! There was not designated stop for her to pass motion.. so we had to find a wide shoulder to stop for Keira! ... Out of the blue, my mum told me... a very shocking information.... "I brought along a potty and it's in my bag" ...

WHAT??? a potty hidden in her bag for a trip to Genting??? haha...classic grandma!!! here's a great laugh for u!

We finally arrive and checked into hotel at about 5+pm. Took kids to shower, had dinner... and it was bed time for my kids by 8pm! haha ... that's the end of Day 1 for me... without doing anything else!

Day 2 -

Kiddos woke up by about 7pm. Nice cool night... Here's how they look in the morning.. ^_^

After breakfast, it was kiddo's time for FUN - Indoor theme park! Free for Keira who is below 90cm, of course free for Keisha too.

Keira on Merry Go Round!

Keira and Karin on car-ride. This one is really FUN - they took 5 times in total! They looked really cute in the car too.. haha

We on Ferris Wheel!

Day 3 -

Woke up 715am, packed up and had breakfast.

Departed from Genting Highlands at 1040am, and descended down the mountain.... cool nice air, cool nice temperature. My 2 darlings fell asleep within 10 mins!

We finally reached home at 530pm!!! Gosh, what a long trip!

Valentine's Day for the family

No more romantic getaway for 2,
No more quiet dinner for 2,
No more rest n relax aimless window shopping for 2,
No more...and no more....whatever....

Good news is ... we have additional 2 more to go with the original 2... ^_^. Our K n K joined us on V-day this year with something (I thought) was meaningful. Never have I ever in my wildest thoughts wished I was on a Duck Tour! Oh yes, the Fantastic 4 of us did it on V-day! Thought we didn't want to roam the streets aimlessly, dragging 2 darlings, hence, attempted to do something interesting for them, especially Keira.

Never did I expect Duck Tours to be so expensive! Adult per head costs like 30-40+ for an hour trip! My darlings K n K cost 2 per head, now that's cheap! As we were busy making payment, K papa noticed a slim poster stand with a promotion for 48 per couple on V-Day! To top that promo, it has a further $ cuts for every attempts to 1) hold hands, 2) hug, 3) kiss on cheeks, 4) get frenchy kiss. Of course the closer the level of intimacy, the more $ cut you get from the original 48! Well, we got a $8 off for doing the most intimate - ok, don't think too deep.. it's just getting a little french! haha!!!

Here's some pics for you.. sorry, no french pics.. haha!
