staycation @ Novatel - advance bday celebration for yz

since the ng family is not going anywhere for hols for the rest of the year *pout* due to us moving house, we've tried to plan more activities to make up for it.
so we did a staycation on sunday partly to take a break from the mundane work week as well as to do a mini pre-celebration for yz's 4yo bday (though its almost 1 week + earlier, :P).

so in the morning after yz's phonics class, we went home bath and pack the stuff for the short staycation.
after that, its time to drop yr off at my mum's place. sorry baobei, not bringing you along this time round but will do so for the next staycation in dec (yeah, there's another one!).

we were staying at Novatel clarke quay this time. though also pretty near to our house, this area is seldom explored by us with the kids.
now that yz is older, thought it will be nice to let him experience some "night-life" with us. haha.


check-in was pretty decent at 2pm. :)

we have view of MBS ok, dun play play.

we went to suntec and let yz do all the happy things.
let him snack at ya-kun when he said he's hungry.
brought him to the arcade for games.
let him roam at toy-r-us to his heart content.
i think its a pretty decent outing for the little boy. :)


part of the action

we went back to the hotel to rest awhile before deciding where to go for dinner.
decided to try the in-house restaurant since we've very good experience with novatel perth as well as sofitel macau.
thinking all are under the accor umbrella, standard should be there?


ncl tried tenderloin w foie gars which i tried the baked cod as usual

mine was quite sumptious with the cod being super juicy. but ah long tenderloin was abit let-down especially for that price..
still, it was a good dinner with warm ambience.

we spent the evening strolling at clarke quay area. yz was very very fascinated by the reverse bungee and all those "uncle/auntie" screaming as the ball shoots up. LOL.

we got him a small slice of cake (strawberry shortcake - his fav) and sing the happy birthday song for him.
he was beaming with happiness. :))

*roar*

last stop was to liang court to grab snacks of all kind from the mediya supermart and to kino for mags!
the son and i had so much fun choosing wat to buy to make up his party bday packs to his fellow classmates. :)
hubbi as usual grab chips for our late night movie @ the hotel after the son zzzz.

yz was so tired by the long day though he only K.O.ed at almost 11pm.
hubbi and i caught trashy B-grade movie - Piranha 3D on starmovie which munching on chips. haha.
all in all, it was a really fun outing!

cant wait for the next staycation for my bday with YR as well. :)
