A Day Of Fun & Laughter With HT

HT is here to play with Amanda again....  Amanda has been so excited and looking forward to this day... and she was even praying hard that there would be no smses from HT's Mummy the night before to cancel the visit....  So this morning, she woke up early and got herself ready waiting for HT's arrival....   

before going out for buffet lunch.... don't they look so sweet in matching coloured tees?...

just before lunch whilst waiting for the restaurant to open for business...

the girls waiting for their noodles (only) from the laksa stall and then getting the soup (winter melon soup with pork ribs) from the main counter....  what a wonderful combination!
mmm....  yummy!
salmon sashimi...  guess who ate this?
i'm surprised HT loves salmon sashimi too...  :)
amanda making her ice kachang...
what a lovely chocolate mousse.... a pity none of us tried it...
amanda showing HT how to use this machine...
adding the syrup... which was slightly overdosed...  see photo below...  *smiles*....  amanda later went to get more shaved ice for HT to top up so that it wouldn't be so sweet...
a not so pretty looking ice-kachang...  the girls seem to have the same taste and only fancied the green syrup; hence a not so colourful ice-kachang...
time for desserts....
hmmm... what should i eat?
ahhh.... watermelon!
the girls comparing their dessert...
and me.... enjoying my hot cuppa freshly brewed coffee....
the girls were playing snakes and ladders in daddy's car in between the journey....
playing mini mastermind....

After lunch, we proceeded to the Singapore Flyer.. first for Fish Spa and next to board The Flyer...  A pity I could only join them at the Fish Spa and had to leave for an appointment after that....  So it was just the 3 of them at The Flyer....


upon arrival at the singapore flyer...
the lovely girls!!

We booked for the 2 girls a 15 min time slot each for Fish Spa at Kenko Wellness Spa...  Reason for choosing Kenko was because they change their water daily and the ambience was great...  Some shops say they change their water daily, but their water looks so dirty so we didn't quite trust...

None of us have ever tried Fish Spa including HT....  Good thing I was wise enough to buy a package for 2 instead of all 4 of us....  The girls were so afraid and none of them dared to put their feet into the water after 10 minutes...  In the end, I had to negotiate with the person in charge to transfer the package to Daddy...  The lady suggested Daddy and I take each of the girls' 15 minutes...  but I was scared too....  HAHAHA!!!  So Daddy took 30 minutes instead...  whilst the 2 girls played around and placed their FOOT on the surface of the water every now and then (after much persuasion and coaxing)....  and the lady was quite sweet to allow us to do so too...  :))


the girls removing their shoes and getting ready for their feet wash...
drying their feet and all ready for the fishes....  see below photo...
ooohh...  gives me the goose bumps...
amanda didn't dare put her feet into the water....
and HT too...  *laughs*
we were served ginger tea...  all 5 of us, eventhough we only bought package for 2 pax...
amanda almost made it....  look at HT... her legs were so nicely crossed away from the water...  LOL!
it was almost after more than 10 minutes and their time was almost up...  not one of them has tried it yet...

check out HT's facial expression...
and amanda's....  they were squealing with fun and laughter at the spa...  we must have been the noisiest group there....
the girls giving another try...  left ht, right amanda...
daddy was enjoying himself....
the fishes are so attracted to him....
yes!  HT has finally placed her foot (1 inch) into the water...  LOL!
and amanda too...  the girls were so proud of their "achievement" and they were like competing who could exceed more than 3 seconds, then 5 seconds and subsequently 10 seconds... but none of them made it for consecutively 10 seconds....  well done anyway!  i didn't even dare put mine in for 1 second!!!


daddy felt good after the fish spa...
amanda was practically squirming.... check out her expression...
check out HT's expression too....

Soon, our session was over and they went to board The Flyer whilst I went off for my appointment.  For greater convenience, we drove both cars out to lunch and thence to The Flyer....


in the queue.....

look at the smiles on their faces...

it was very crowded that day, so they didn't have the luxury of getting the whole capsule to themselves...  unlike the other time we went with kongkong and darren....
shot taken by HT...
they were having so much fun during the half-hour ride...
taken from the flyer...

we bought 2 photographs...  the top for ht and the bottom for us...
ice cream for amanda after the flyer ride...  ht didn't want any....  which explains why amanda grew horizontally...  haha...



the girls attempting to do a star jump...
not bad amanda!

well done ht!!!

Next Amanda got changed into her dress and went over for a Channel U audition...  Well, it was just for the fun of it and we decided to let her give it a try since it is during the school hols and it was just for a short while of 30 minutes...  just for Amanda to experience what an audition really is....  It was also an experience for HT to see how they film and record the audition as they were peeping from outside during the recording process....

having fun with the "XI" while waiting...
"NU"

"AI"

"LE"

taking a picture to remember the puppy as they found it cute...


fun playing badminton back home....
part 2 of badminton at our estate park....
fun at the playground.....
dinner after shower...  dinner was prawn noodles prepared by kakak....
don't they look like a pair of twin angels?....and they continued with table tennis after some rest just before we sent ht home...  they were obviously making the best out of the short time left together....  :))
ht looking so sweet and angelic in this white dress....
oh what a grin! :)

Amanda continued with a few rounds of WII at HT's house before both girls finally called it a day....  Amanda had so much fun with HT today.... and she is looking forward to the next round of play which could happen only during the March or June school holidays....
