Fun filled road trip

I didn't realise that my last post was on 1 May till I finally found time to blog. Since our last outing to Sentosa, we finally managed to find time to go to Pulai Springs Resort! We have been talking about it for the longest time and glad that we put our plans in actions. We met early in the morning at 6.30am and whisked through the Woodlands checkpoint as there was hardly any traffic.

We reached our breakfast place shortly and had our pratas and mee. It was still early so we went to do grocery shopping.

We were so early that some of the shops were not even opened yet!

After the shopping at Jusco, we had KFC for lunch. Somehow it tasted much better than the chicken in Singapore. It was not long before our check-in time approached and we made our way to the resort.

Just after we got ourselves ready for a swim, it started pouring! It felt like de jevu as it was exactly what happened during our Sentosa trip. While waiting for the rain to stop, we roamed around the resort and had our favourite game of table tennis. And without surprise, Mike emerged the winner after a tough fight with Rich.

After the game, we proceeded to have our dinner before our real drinking game back in our apartment. It didn't take us long to finish all the beer and wine that we bought and we had to resort to mixing all the remaining drinks to serve as the forfeit. Glad that Lar Lar was always around to take all the forfeits for me. Luvb lurb Lar Lar!

The next day after we did our late check-out, we made our way back as Tessa had to be back early to celebrate Mother's Day with her m-i-l. It was so far our first road trip to Malaysia with all the gals and hope that there would be many more to come soon!

Busy, busy and still busy

Since the last post, I didn't manage to find time to update my posts till today. It has been a long week for me, with packed activites over the last weekend as well as late nights during weekdays. By the time I reach home every night, I will be wiped out and all I can think of is heading straight to bed.

But I have to say that it has been a hectic yet fruitful week for me. Last Saturday, sweetie pie booked the Sentosa hut for a BBQ session. So we headed straight there after lunch. By the time we settled down and got ready to head out to the beach, it started to pour! Arghhh... so we cramped inside the tiny hut and spent some time getting 'entertained' by baby Lecia. She is now at an age where she is getting herself busy by venturing around and being curious about every single thing. We just cannot get enough of her funny quirks and tricks that she is very capable of doing now.

When the rain stopped, we dashed out to the beach and managed to catch some sun before it started drizzling again.

Baby Lecia's first trip to the beach.

It didn't take long for the rain to come back and haunt us. Nonetheless, the guys started the fire and we had a 'romantic' bonfire at the BBQ pit. This is so far my second BBQ session in the rain with many umbrellas. The only consolation was that there was an event at the beach and there was constant loud music accompanying us throughout the night.

Isn't this a sight? :P

It took us a while to realise that the event was the World Gourmet Summit and we decided to take a stroll down to the beach to check it out. We 'gatecrashed' into the event site and helped ourselves to the free flow beer and vodka. It was a pity that the food was gone by the time we 'smuggled' in. They had also invited the live band from Timbre and it was indeed a great performance. What can be a better way to end the night with free drinks, great performance and cool breeze at the beach?

The next day, we went for high tea at Merchant Court as a farewell for Tracy. Just when we got Cheryl back from New Zealand for good, it is now her turn to leave. It is really so hard for the five of us to be together! But we still wish her all the best and we will miss her terribly, especially now that we don't have enough gals to play mahjong!

Power of five!
