The happenings....
Little Arielle was very cooperative. She woke up at 2pm. Very timely! Cos we want to be there before 3.45pm to qualify for the early bird draw. We managed to be out of the house by 2.45pm. We reached there at about 3.15pm. Parked in the designated carpark and will walk to the Siloso Beach cos the registration will be held at the Sapphire Pavilion which is next to the beach. It was indicated as a 5 minutes walk but wat seh, in actual fact, it's 10 minutes lor caused we were walking damn fast because we want to be there on time for lucky draw and we din really know how long we need to walk! If we were to walk leisurely, it would definitely be more than 10 minutes! Aiyo so tiring and xiong leh! Battery almost run flat cos we din have lunch! 是饿的 lor! Almost wanna faintz liaoz!
Finally, we reached and right in front of us, we saw hot-dogs and ice-cream! Yummy yum yum! But we did not take the food immediately but to go for the registration first else our efforts of walking fast would be wasted. So we signed our attendance, dropped in our lucky draw tickets and got our goodie bag. Hmm, this year's goodie bag seems relatively "empty" leh! Only got a bottle of mineral water, a topless cap and a mat. The only good thing is that they have it in those reusable bags (those tote bags) and that they have provided a mat! Something which I have tried to buy but did not managed to do so!
Next, we quickly went to redeem our hot-dogs cos damn hungry liaoz. Not sure if the hot-dog really taste good or we were just too hungry. It was grobbled up in a few moments' time and we are not able to go for another round cos it's limited to 1 per person (so miserable right!) So in the end, we also redeemed the ice-cream hoping that it can fill up a little bit of space in our stomach. XP was right to ask me to redeem there and then cos later on in the evening, the queue was so long and they had to queue during the hot scourching sun!
We sat down to enjoy our ice-cream while waiting for the opening speech as well as the early bird draw. Saw Jasmine and family and invited them to sit with us together. Little Arielle was busy eating her ice-cream and at the same time playing with baby Ocean! In the midst of feeding and playing, XP suddenly heard his number being called! Hee hee, so up he went to collect his prize!! Well, it's a $10 NTUC voucher. Hmm, better than nothing hee!
Since early bird draw is over, we have decided to bring Little Arielle to the beach. Well, that is the initial intention, else I would not need to have packed so much of her things. Had her changed into her swimming costume in the toilet and she is all ready for her beach adventure!
Thank god that we managed to find a good "lot" under the shade and was grateful that there is a mat included in the goodie bag. It has really served its purpose that day! Had the mat placed nicely and Little Arielle can't wait to lay her hands on the sand and her toys. Both father and daughter were enjoying themselves. Hee hee, XP was very naughty! He "buried" Little Arielle with sand and only half of her body is visible. Next, he dug a hole and had Little Arielle placed inside. As the hole was deep, she couldn't get up on her own hee! In the end, Little Arielle gotta shout for help! We din let her play for long cos I need time to wash her up so that we are in time for the next round of lucky draw + collection of dinner.
I went to wash up her toys first while XP looked after her. When I came back, I saw both of them enjoying themselves in the sea. He took her to play at the waves. So brave of her not to be afraid!
This naughty little girl is all dirty with sand all stuck to her body. Just wanna quickly wash up from head to toe and let her change into her clean set of clothes. To my horror, there isn't a shower room in the toilet! Win liaoz lor! I had no idea where is the nearest shower room and had no choice but to place her in the basin and wash her up from there. I think I must have easily took more than half an hour to do so as it is so difficult to wash her there. The tap is not auto and therefore, I had to one hand press on to tap and use my other hand to help wash her up. It's indeed a tedious procedure.
Finally, my little princess is clean and sweet-smelling! Was glad that what I packed was enough for her meaning, I did not miss anything out. Hmm, that's great, can base on that checklist of mine for future beach outing! Anyway, we lazed around to wait for the dinner distribution. KS XP was the first in line and he helped his other colleagues collect the food. So in total, he collected 12 sets of bento sets. We sat together to have dinner. Food was not very nice but I was very hungry and so finished most of it.
Soon, it was time for the next lucky draw and hmm, we din have luck this time round. Nevermind, still have the last chance at 7.45pm for the last round of draw. Not sure why they have so many rounds of lucky draw! Anyway, we decided to walk back to the carpark and put all the heavy stuff in the car. It was 7.15pm and it means that we only have half an hour to walk to and fro. Aiyo, we cannot miss the timing else we will miss the lucky draw. So, XP walked very fast with Little Arielle and I tried my best to catch up. During the return journey, he walked back first while I walked at a slower pace with Little Arielle.
Haha, guessed what! XP won again leh! It's the 8th prize ~ 2 adults + 2 children tickets to the Singapore Flyer. Hahaha, flyer again! Good leh, we will be able to catch the night view this time round! Well, no prizes for me this year again!
After the 1st price is announced, we ran all the way to catch the "Songs of the Sea" cos we din win any prize after that. It's on a first come first served basis and there are already a lot of people in front of us! Luckily we did not need to queue for long before they allow us to go in. We managed to get the 2nd row seats from the front. Well, the show was pretty disappointing. I still prefer the previous musical fountain. Little Arielle was fidgeting during the first few minutes of the show. Guessed she also feel that it's boring lor! Luckily, it became slightly more interesting and she sat still and followed throughout the show.
We cheong to the carpark which was just few steps away from the venue of the "Songs of the Sea". Cannot believe that Little Arielle was still very energetic at that time when I am almost half dead. Thought that she would doze off in the car but she din lor. Bought noodles back home to eat cos we were all tired and hungry after the running.
Washed Little Arielle up, bathed myself, had the noodle and lights off....
