We had a terrific day today at Sentosa. It is a school holiday for the kids today and Meng Hwee is also off in lieu of Saturday being a public holiday. We asked the kids what they wanted to do - SW wanted to go to Laser Challenge at Bukit-something but Mark wanted to go ice skating. Hmmm, MH and I had to think of something fast to please everyone. Aha! Sentosa's Luge!
Everyone seemed keen and within an hour (after walking the dog, bringing out the cushions, having breakfast, putting on sunblock, etc), we were off. The sky grew darker as we approached Sentosa and we all 'put power prayed' for the sky to clear. When we got there, lo and behold, the weather was hot and sunny! "Yeah!" chorused the kids and they dashed for the helmets. Before I could lecture them on safety precautions, they were off.
I did the 'mommy' thing, stayed on the ground and dutifully took pictures of MH and the kids having fun. After about 4 rounds of going up the sky ride and racing down the slope, we headed for the Koufu Food Centre for lunch. Weather was getting unbearably hot and it was such a relief to eat in air conditioned comfort. Food was great and very affordable. MH said it was great BECAUSE it was very affordable.
After lunch, the kids insisted on going for the Miniature Golf but we were spared that 'torture' when the dark clouds came. The sudden thunderstorm put out all possible protests from the kids.
Short and enjoyable - that is certainly my idea of a great outing!

Haha, that's not the REAL story, as I understand it. A little bird told me that the kids were whiny and that there was a fair bit of pushing and shoving going on... .
Well, some censorship is necessary to project a happy family image.....in any case, the pushing and shoving is quite normal for most families :o)
Short and enjoyable?I think LONG and enjoyable is better :)
Why do I get the feeling that the entry only shows the good side? I heard something about hiding from the camera...
I wish I was there, those Lucky Duckies!
I absolutely agree with Angela, but only if I'm with my family at the time.
Did Mike mean that his trip to Sentosa with Bryan/Brian (dunno which way he spelt it) wasn't that enjoyable?
