Staycation - Llyod's Inn

yeah, hubbi and i took leave yesterday to do a mini staycation in city with the boys since it's the school holidays this week.
 
we moved out of the house for lunch @ 313 marche. its been ages since we visited a marche as a family. i really like their rosti and find the kids' meals a steal - super value for money. filling and a cup of apply juice for each of them. *thumbs up*
 
lunch @ marche
 
after lunch, we explored gateway and central before heading to our hotel - Llyod's inn to check in!
the boutique hotel is situated at a quiet corner on llyod road. we booked a garden room and added an extra bed to cater for the 4 of us. the room is pretty small which is expected but i like the minimalist décor. :D
 
we lazed for awhile and slowly made our way to national museum of Singapore which took us around 25mins on foot? 
along the way
bottom right: the boys seeing mimosa for the first time....

 sadly, NSM permanent collections section is under renovation. we did explore a temporary exhibition - 50 products of SG - while we were there. it was pretty interesting to note the products that come from SG!

@NSM
 
on level 3, there's PLAY which has an explore section for kids which is pretty interesting for the boys.
we had our early dinner @ food for thought and i can only sadly conclude their standards have dropped... :(
 
evening plan lined up was watching "inside out" at plaza sing! *wee*
it was a brilliant show as what most reviews said. what if emotions have emotions indeed.
Pixar once again combined wonderful storytelling that illustrates the simplest human lessons with gorgeous graphics. lethal combi that never fail to enthrall and entertain.
i still don't like sadness at the end of the show, unlike most people. but we are all reminded that we can find strength in the most dire situations. it's really a matter how we see things in perspective.
and bing bong. :'(
 
great show for the whole family! we ended up taking a cab back to hotel after the show for the haze was atrocious. PSI >200!
spent the rest of night lazing in hotel before calling it a night. i was actually having the jitters on GE today. LOL.
 
breakfast was at killiney at killiney road (no kidding, that's the breakfast coupons given by the hotel). of cos, it was great. im for traditional brekkie anytime!
 
had a lazy afternoon at home after checking out and we went bedok town centre for leisure walk and groceries shopping. oh, and of cos voting in between for our GRC! :D
a national duty im proud of. an entitlement and not obligation from how im seeing it. :)
 
ok, back to TV to wait for results with bated breath!
