Random photos during a jogging session...

Okay... daddy had been diligently bringing the 2 elders to jog during weekdays... reason being, Ashley will be having her NAPFA test soon since she's in P4 this year...  As what my hubby had been saying, to maintain a healthy lifestyle and job when we have the time... well, am a lazy mummy... always finding reasons to excuse myself from the hot hot run... hahaha... ehm... am trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle by not eating junk food... must really try to go for some exercise to shed my extra weight soon....  TRY.... :p

 

See my happy baby after a round back with daddy... this is our first visit to the Marsiling Stadium...

My 3 happy kids, after their run...

Kids first CNY celebration in Malaysia

This year my hubby agreed to bring me and kids back to Malaysia (Melaka) for a short 2 days 1 night for the long CNY holidays!! And I am really excited about it... cos its been close to 10 years since I went back for CNY celebration... The last, I remembered, was when my Ashley was about 18 months old... that was really a long time back... and she's 10 years old this year!!!  Where had all the time gone??....

 

I had hope my kids can enjoy their CNY celebrations like I used to enjoy when I was a kid, going back to Malaysia, meeting up with all my cousins, eat and drink all I wanted to, playing card games and having fun with fireworks!!  I remembered always buying boxes of fireworks and comes night time, we would have awesome time lighting them up, watching with anticipation the sparkles and sounds coming up... and always, we were the only group of kids on the road having fun...

 

This time, the kids have tons of fun just playing with the sand pops... the sand pop will popped once the kids throw them out onto the floor... and their grandpa was the busy one, lighting the firework, kids watching with their hands on their ears, eyes shooting up the sky when the firework flew up with a sharp loud sound... The kids were really happy...

 

See how my Adwin enjoying his throw?!??!!... Hahaha...

My 2 transformer boys... in their favourite Bumblebee pyjamas!!!

 

I must thanks my dear hubby for enduring the long drive this CNY back to Melaka... Especially when we decided to drive back to Singapore on the Saturday and the jam at the causeway was a killer... we spent about 4 hours just to clear the custom at JB and Singapore...  But I was really glad to have gone back for the CNY celebrations, as I managed to see many of my aunties, uncles and cousins, many were surprised to see me and my family... many mentioned to their partners that this is the cousin whom they only see once in 10 years time!!! Hahaha... but the last we met was when we were still young and single... but now, most of us had settled down, some with kids, some without... really misses my carefree and happy childhood.... time time... passes by without us realizing it...

2015 River Ang Bao on CNY eve

We headed to the River Ang Bao at Marina floating platform as usual.  Seems to have this yearly routine now... haha... And my kids were so looking forward to this as they had been looking forward to the rides there... And daddy had just bought the Groupon voucher for this event in the afternoon.

We were really early this year and so decided to head to the games and rides section so to prevent queuing later when more people joined in after their reunion dinner...

So, here we are, redeeming the e-card for the rides and the so called 'freebies' from the voucher... A pack of popcorn, helium filled balloon and a funny looking toy and not forgetting a $50 value card for rides and games.

My baby had chosen this brown bear balloon, which was about his height but daddy gave away to a little girl when we were about to leave and my baby was sooo upset about it that daddy went and buy him a baby boy balloon...

And this is the pathetic stall which one need to come and redeem the e-card and freebies...

My son was the first and only rider for this self ride boat ride... and seems like a yearly thing for him or Ashley to row the boat at the River Angbao... haha...

 

And here's my brave boy taking the helicopter ride alone... He just loves all transport vehicles!!! And he got all excited when he sees Helicopter, cars and trains!!

 

 

And my 2 bigger kids having fun in this mini ferris wheel... which my baby boy refused to join in...

 

 

Surprised that my baby boy was able to ride on this ride alone... refusing his jiejie and korkor... ehm... tough for me to get any photos of my 3 kids together!!! :(

 

Ok, maybe only for this ride... but my korkor was in another car, while jiejie taking care of baby... :\

 

 

2 As proudly showing off their soft toys won in a game...

 

I must say, my Adwin is a truly a boy loving all the boys stuff... he can really aim at the bull eyes and got a small monkey stuff toy, he was really happy!!!

 

Time for a rest!! Haha... we were happily seating waiting for the performer to be walking on the *rope/string/whatever* it's supposed to be... hahaha... horrible mummy here... anyways, the kids were amazed with the 2 performers walking with no support up about 10 storey high! :0

 

Here's a overall view of the River Angbao 2015... Nice pair of peacocks this year...  

 

Nice lion dance decors... anyways, this year's theme was featuring old playgrounds in Singapore, maybe due to SG50 celebration this year, abit of the past Singapore here and there... I guess only people of my generation are able to link back and a good chance for the kids to experienced what we had during our childhood...

 

Singa!!  My time... haha... Kids nowadays got no idea who is he... maybe the teachers in school did touch abit of it's history... 

 

 Here's a big slide for the kids to have fun with...

 

 

See 2 of my dearies in front here???.... hahaha... my hubby's favourite section of the River Angbao yearly... 猜灯谜...

 

 Yippie!! A small present for getting the correct answer! :)

 

 

 

My 2 rabbits of the household... hahaha... *sorry, this really does not look like a rabbit! :(*

 

Me & my dragon... ehm... my baby was crying on my shoulder as I had stand too near to the figurine and caused his head to be poked by it... sorry baby... :*

 

My rooster...  

 And my piglet... hahaha...

 

As we did not enter the River Angbao through the main entrance, thus taking this final shot before we leave for the night... :)
