Singapore trip - May 08

We went to Singapore on the 1st to 4th May 2008 and it was Norelle's first trip to the land of the 'Merlion'. We were there to attend a wedding celebration and also took this opportunity for a short get-a-way.

We went by car as this was much easier judging that we have TONS of things with us and also more convenient. Norelle was doing well along the journey and as for me, not at my 'very best' condition as I was having some 'morning sickness' at that time.
We stayed at Grand Mercure Roxy hotel for the first 2 nights and later moved to The Regent hotel for 1 night (where the wedding dinner was held). For this trip, we went to quite number of places as I would like to tak this opportunity to expose Norelle to this place.

We went to Sentosa whereby Norelle had her first contact with the beach. But it was a HOT HOT day. And the weather didnt budged throughout our stay there. Norelle was sceptical at first when we placed her on the sand. She didnt like it that much. Then HY brought her down to the sea and again she was overwhelmed by it.

We didnt stay long as it was such a hot day so we proceeded to our next destination - The Jacob Ballas's Children Garden. I've read a lot about this place at the forum so I was happy that finally we got there. The garden was designed especially for children in mind, informative and fun. Then we saw an open area where children are allowed to get wet. Hahaha...good idea since it was such a hot day.

Then we went back to the hotel where there was still some time for a little dip in the pool (for Norelle of course). What an eventful day. It was a fun trip for her and for us as well. On this trip I managed to meet up with Jaslyn and her oh-so-pretty Yun Xi where she came to pass me the 'loot' (my online shopping craze)

What I like most about this trip was our stay in The Regent hotel. The room was big enough and the best was the baby crib. It was so HUGE and it came with fluffy mattress and full cot-bumper. And also not forgetting a set of baby toiletteries as well as baby bath tub (with anti-slip) mat) - which we didnt even request for. This is truly a very-family friendly hotel.

Our journey back to KL was a breeze where Norelle slept almost throughout the whole journey.
