Cousins @ Trevista condominium
16 December 2012
Hubby's cousin from USA came down with her family for Christmas and had rented an apartment at the Trevista condominium at Toa Payoh. They rented the whole apartment as her mom and
her sister and her family (from Australia) was also coming to Singapore.
I've always wondered how Trevista's like :
Very nice land-scaping (it does look a lot like the land-scaping at "8@Woodleigh" condo though).
There's even a tennis court and a small rock-climb obviously for kids.
At the side of the tennis court, there's a exercise area. But this is not the only exercise area.
Throughout the condo, there're small pockets of exercise areas or pavilions.
A nice playground for the kids - even a sand-pit.
There's the main pool, kids' pool, a rather big jacuzzi area and an exercise pool.
I find the exercise pool interesting 'cos you can do your exercise on the exercise machines which are inside the pool !
Fun time with cousin B who's just a few months younger than Eugene.
Hubby's cousin V (kid B's mom).
I must say I'm quite impressed with the grounds at Trevista.
The area's small but they have managed to do nice land-scaping in such a way that the apartments on the ground level have their privacy and pavilions. bbq and exercise areas are dotted throughout the condo's ground.
I didn't take any pics of the apartment (forgot) - but it's really, really small especially the kitchen and rooms, well, actually the whole place. Feels a bit claustrophobic as the ceiling's low.
I guess now, most new condos and HDB flats are smaller. And definitely the ceiling's lower which adds to the feel of the smallness of the place.

Paint, Bake "House"
14 December 2012
Eugene was definitely better at it this time round unlike the 1st time.
He was able to better control the paint flow and also to use the cotton buds to wipe up any excess paint and to use the toothpick to spread the paint around.
Very neat this time round.

Dinosaur Train Musical @ Marina Square, Singapore
12 December 2012
Not crowded as we went on a week-day.
The kid really enjoyed it !
This cute girl kept coming to talk to me and sat next to me instead of her father lol.....
Eugene and her had a fun time gyrating to the music.
Eugene immediately raise his hand when a volunteer was being asked.
Hubby was so amused and kept shaking his head, that the kid's not shy at all.

Some catchy songs (but I prefer the songs from 'Bob The Builder" which's more beaty)
Hear it below.

Well done !
He got a notebook for being so sporting.

Hubby's Birthday Dinner @ Raffles Town Club
28 November 2012
Off we went for hubby's birthday dinner at "The Dining Room" at Raffles Town Club.
The restaurant is grand but unfortunately, overall the food is only so-so.
The first time I went, I had fish and it did not wow me. Thought I'll give it another try but yet their dishes do not wow me. I guess I expected more.
Hubby's chicken - quite disappointed with this dish. Chicken was small (or maybe becos it was cornish hen hence it was small) and very very small portion of veggies.
Hubby was still hungry after this.

My appetiser - think it was some duck liver or something - tasty.
My French Duck confit - a bit over fried.

Dessert was good, especially the molten lava cake.
Happy Birthday Hubby !
(next time, I'll choose the place, ya)

Hands On @ Toa Payoh Library
27 November 2012
Signed Eugene up for some handicraft conducted at the Toa Payoh library at only $2.
I don't think the kid find it exciting.
The class was conducted by some students - there was a story-telling session followed by the handicraft which was creating a heart-shape out of paper.
But I don't mind lah - it's good exposure for the students and to learn how to conduct such classes so that in future they can do it better - have to start somewhere right?
It was supposed to be " I love U Grandpa or Grandma" but the kid wanted it to be "mommy" - aww... he's such a darling.

Saw this advert in 'Popular' newsletter and decided to give it a try.
It looks big in the newsletter but the place is actually pretty small.
This one's at Delta Sports Complex.
They have these different houses with different themes like Cafe, a Repair Shop, a Home and a Supermarket.
Eugene immediately scooted to the 'Repair Shop' and spent most of his time there.
We were there on a weekday and there were about 5 families including us and the area where the parents can sit are already almost full.
I cannot imagine more families as then, the adults will be standing and milling around.
The toys were strewn all over the place and not in their respective 'houses' by the children - well, to be expected.
There was an old auntie staff that day and she was strict with an older boy who was very boisterous and also she sounded me when Eugene climbed and went to the area where the older boy was because she had seen that the older boy had bullied Eugene. I then went and lingered around Eugene so that that older boy will not try anything funny. So kudos to this staff, she at least supervise the kids.
The price is very good too. $11 for Popular card member and no time limit.
Will we be back? Most probably as Eugene seemed to like it but only on a weekday.

Gardens By The Bay
11 November 2012
Finally a visit to the Gardens By The Bay.
We did not go to any of the in-house domes or the skywalk (yet), just to look-see on our first visit.
We had dinner at the 'Peach Garden Noodle' at the 'Supertree Dining' area - very delicious food as usual from Peach Garden.
We'll be back to visit the domes another time.

The Supertrees look like a scene out of the movie 'Avatar'.
The iconic Marina Bay Sands and The Flyer next to it.
We'll be back to visit the domes another time.
