My 31st in 2013

There was some attractive discount for NTUC members for a 3D2N staycation at Aranda Country Club. Taking advantage of the good deal, we booked for ourselves a 3D2N staycation for my birthday. The last we went to Aranda Country Club was probably during our secondary or JC/ ply days. We had some really good times when we were younger and Aranda Country Club was really like a luxurious place for a chalet venue back then.

Returning to Aranada Country Club after (more than) 10 years, it is a great disappointment! :( The entire place is very old and run-down. Still spacious but very dim lighting but cracked walls, falling tiles, faulty doors and taps. Eew. But the kids love it. They love holidays.

Not sure if it is my birthday celebration or theirs but we started the staycation with one of their favourite activities - fishing @ Kids Kampong.

Isabelle was still not very good at catching the fishes on her own yet. She looked as if she was terrorising the fishes instead.

Valerie was pretty good though. Guess the fishes are tired after a day of 'siam-ing'.

Then they had playground fun @ Kids Ecplorer where Valerie was pageant-scouted as well. Results of the Pageant: She passed Round 1 (easily) but I was too lazy so I just withdrew her.

Forever cheeky. Cannot take a proper pic meh???

The sporting and adventurous one.

31 liao. You think it is old? Wait till you are approaching mid 30s. There is no end to (scare) feeling old.

Same same and yet different.

Can be super love or super spiteful towards each other. <3 p="">

They wanted to play with sand when we went to the wrong beach/ park. No sand one.

Bored while waiting for the car.

Sand fun!

Val refused to take off her shades. Good thinking. Protect your eyes. :) The difference between us (S'poreans) and ang mohs. Ang mohs walk around with their shades everywhere, in the car, from building to car and on the streets while we only wear our shades while driving. Seriously, we should wear our shades once we are out in the sun. This habit is slowly part of me le. 

Happy (belated) 31 to myself and 32 is only a month away. 

I want to look young!

I want Wang Lee Hom to sing Happy Birthday to me!
