Trip to Singapore

Jo Ern had her first overseas trip last weekend.  :)  It was quite a breeze, really.  First I had wondered how on earth she was going to get her photo taken for the passport.  She doesn't sit still on command and how to get her to tilt/straighten her head as required? But she was so good during the photo shoot that it took no time at all!  Then hubby took her to the immigration office and managed to get her passport done very quickly.  He thinks he fluffed up part of the procedure but luckily they give priority to small children.

So it was all systems go!  I brought along 5 portions of Jo Ern's food in a Coleman insulated box - 2 for the day and 3 taken directly from the freezer.  The 6th was Cerelac which can be just mixed with water.  Also brought cheese, a portion of oats for breakfast and sticks of celery for her to munch in the car.  I had actually planned more food, but ditched some in view of her recent poor appetite.

With hubby's driving, we reached the Johore checkpoint in 2h 45mins.  Then we stopped for lunch at the Plus highway stop.  Jo Ern surprised me by eating her food without fuss.  Wow, first time in WEEKS!  From the Tuas causeway, getting to Sentosa was fast and easy.  We stayed at Festive hotel... hmm I'd expected a bigger room from the photos on the net.  Ah well, it was still a nice room.  There was a king-sized bed, a sofa bed and a cozy single bed up a ladder.  I'd have happily slept on this bed if I'd come alone!

Hello hello! I am way up here

Can I climb up myself? OK must wait until I'm bigger

Pom-pom in the sink

Hotel guests get a complimentary monorail pass.  Just nice as we'd arranged to meet hubby's relatives at Vivo City.  We had a nice duck dinner (forgot name of shop) and Jo Ern ate up her meal without fuss again.  She was probably hungry - it's hard to keep to her normal meal-times when travelling.  Maybe that's the secret to getting her to eat her food!  She had her first bottle of Vitagen which she loved and sucked up in double-quick time.

So this is what an MRT is.  Not bad, not bad

At the harbour. Pardon my grumpy face, I was a bit hungry

Mummy said, if I were bigger I could go play in this fountain

There was a sounds/light/water show at the 'Lake of dreams' that night.  Quite good especially since it was free.  Jo Ern was tired out and KO-ed already in her stroller. Oh the day wasn't yet over for hubby.  He visited the casino where he won some S$.  Next day, Universal Studios!
