on the last day of the year, aka my day, we were heading out for the last staycation for the year! after settling the last work email and some tasks and more, i headed out to meet the husband at fairmount hotel! it's my birthday lunch at mikuni. :)
thanks to WL's recommendation, we discovered this nice jap restaurant. while hubbi wasnt too impressed with his king prawn lunch set, my premium bento lunch set was slurping-ly good! the tempura, grilled cod, unagi and yellowtail sashimi were the highlights! *yum*
i wouldnt mind coming here again to try the other stuff on its menu!
after the sumptuous lunch, we went to pick up the younger boy to check in our staycation for the night. YZ was supposed to come along but he was still recovering from his cough hence he checked into hotel gramps instead..
the husband didnt want town location and we are staying the east area already so there wasnt really much choices left. in the end, i booked oasia given it's pretty new and we seldom explore the novena area. to be honest, it is quite a boring area but good enough for an evening and we were nua-ing in the room most of the time. :P
@ oasia!
we only made our way out to explore novena/united sq after 6 in search of dinner and some exploring. united sq is surprisingly a nice place to roam around - alot of kids stuff.
we let the younger boy explored toys r us to his heart contents (whose birthday was it exactly?) and we bought a monopoly set to play as a family with the elder boy on new year day! it's one of my fav. childhood game!
and we had dinner at.... MAC! LOL. both hubbi and i were still feeling too full from our super filling late lunch so we let YR chose and that's where we ended up at. i had prosperity fries for dinner - very sinful and very satisfying. HEHE.
@ united sq
the hotel surprised us with a lovely cupcake at night and that was a timely supper! YR and hubbi sang a bday song for me - simple gesture like this makes all the difference in the world. :)
the younger boy also penned me a birthday note the next morning that brings a smile to my face everytime i read it. im indeed blessed.
right: note from YR
we started the morning early by having a healthy breakfast (only for me - granola yogurt with chia seed , the husband got himself lemon tart + gula melaka pandan cake!) @ joe & dough. i really hope to start and maintain 2016 with healthy eating and living.
@ joe & dough
we checked out around noon and had lunch @ the in-house marmalade pantry. baked snapper for me and beef burger for the hubbi.
@ marmalade pantry
we left and picked up YZ from my mum's place and rest of afternoon was spent lazing at home. all of us took a nap from 3 to 430PM - so shiok and been a while the whole family nap together. haha.
i went for a quick 30mins jog after that and we headed out for a simple dinner + grocery shopping nearby. in the evening, we played monopoly as a family for ~ 1.5hrs and guess who's the winner for the night? YR! it was old good fashion fun and we cant wait to play again this weekend! :)
most probably will be a quiet weekend for us before the hectic school term (for the boys) and year-end closing (for me) start again next week. i shall indulge in my fav. activity for the moment - reading. :)
