Sentosa

I took leave on Monday and decided to bring my gal out. The same fren whom i went zoo with challenge me to bring Athena out to Sentosa with her and her 2 kids. Without my helper.

After much thoughts, i took on the challenge. If she can do it by herself with 2 kids aged 5 and 2, i am sure i can do it too! The day started out ok. Athena work up at her usual 630am. After her milk, i decided to bring her to Punggol park for a walk. Sigh, she's too restless to sit in a pram :P Came home and give her a bath. After that, i packed everything into a haversack and off we go. Luckily for me, she fell asleep on the way there in the MRT train.

To be frank, it is quite stroller-friendly all the way to sentosa. From Hougang MRT to Harbourfront to the Sentosa's tram, i was able to push her along in the stroller. We decided just to go to the beach and let the kids play with sand and water. There's a water feature similar to the one in the zoo but much smaller. But the land-tram to bring us to the beach itself is not so. I had to keep the stroller and carried it up while my fren helped me to carry Athena.

When we were there, we really love it! There's a food court for lunch and the sand is soft and white. The place is quite shady too. Luckily for me, my fren was prepared with the kids' sunblock. Yes, not so much on mummy now but need to take care of the kids.

Initially, Athena was hesitate when she sat on the beach. i think sand is a different sensation that she's used to. But after a while, she's happily playing with it. I was watchful though, need to make sure she doesnt eat the sand.

After that, we had lunch at the foodcourt b4 the kids went to play with water. Athena loved the water, she walked around there and splashed happily away. When i took her out, she struggled and didnt want to. Looks like we can bring her to swimming pool now :P

We left at 2pm++ when the weather was getting hot. Then we had drinks at VivoCity before we called it a day. As usual, my gal fell asleep on the way back in the train.

Too bad hubby took the camera. Most of my pics are in my fren's camera, hope she download soon and pass them to me.

here's one where she's playing with sand.....
