Cruise

A week after our yoga retreat, we went for another little getaway. This time on a cruise. To be specific, we went for the carnival cruise. It took us from Long Beach to Ensenada. It was our first time on a cruise as a family. Everyone is always saying that a cruise is a perfect trip for families with kids so we decided to give it a try. Well minus the little bit of sea sickness that Charlotte and I felt, it would be a better trip haha. I could see Charlotte's energy level going down on the second day when the sea was a little choppy. She still managed to eat a lot though which was fortunate. So basically, we ate non stop on the cruise. I think that is what cruise are all about.

This was Charlotte, getting all pumped about getting on a cruise. But I think she never quite understood that she was actually on a very big ship all along. She saw those life boats hanging on the side of the ship and kept asking if we are getting on it hahaha.
We chose a room with a window. Definitely beats a totally enclosed room. At least we had natural light streaming in.
We went on the trip with a fellow Singaporean family. We are glad to have them as company. Charlotte loves being around other kids and Rui Ying is definitely top on her list to hang out with. She totally takes her role as a big sister very seriously.
On the top deck.
Besides the big water slides, some other activities were the mini golf and story time for the kids. We tried our luck at BINGO twice but no luck...
There was a formal night too where we got to "dress up" a little haha. The other guest took the night very seriously. In gowns and suits whereas for us... hahah we just tried to get into something slightly more put together rather than just shorts and t shirts.
Even though Charlotte wasn't feeling her best that night, we was on her best behaviour. She managed to sit through the slow dinner and ate her food.

For the stop over at Ensenada, we did not book any trips. We just went down the ship to take a walk on land. A pic of us taken by the profession photographer. We did not buy the pic in the end hah.
The 2 cute babes
There was nothing much there. Mostly food stalls. But we did managed to visit a museum and tried some Mexican bread that I was told can only be found in Mexico. Charlotte and Rui Ying also managed to let out some of their energy at the playground too.
Spotted a lady with her pet pig on her shoulder haha.
The girls and their daddies.
I think a 3D2N trip is enough for a cruise. I think any longer, it would get too boring. Both food and activities wise.

The Orange Timber

Today was a pretty chill day, walking around, eating and reading my book! It has been a long time since I walked along Blk 85 market. I think the last time was during my sec sch days, on my way back to my grandma house after sch. Since I had breakfast there with my grandma today, I showed der the old sch cake shop where Cham and I bought a huge cream cake (not those fanciful ones we get these days) and finished it all by ourselves under the void deck! Der and I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a slice each :) Strawberry vs blueberry...Only $1.10 each. Those miniture ones that are sold at toast box cost $1.20 and they are only 1/3 the size of this! What a rip off for something nostalgia... Later in the evening, we decided to chill at The Orange Timber @ Tiong Bahru The Orange Timber is a cafe cum art gallery. The plates are bowl used were also meant to be something nostalgia once again... hah However, I use those cutlery at home too. There are like 3 sections to this small cafe...

Pending Down My Thoughts for 2021

 10.07pm, 31 Dec 2021.  The year 2021 is coming to an end. The year of Covid. The year we left LA and returned to Singapore for good. It has been 9 months since we got back but I still feel like it happened so recently. One of the Singaporean family we met in LA and hung out very often is in town to visit. Charlotte asked if we can return to LA together. She asked if we are really not going back anymore. We all miss LA a lot. Definitely much more than Moscow even though Moscow is a very memorable place too.  Spent the day at Sentosa, The Luge. Kiddos had a lot of fun despite the heat. I enjoyed myself a lot too and I am missing the times we hung out in LA. Thinking about them going back and us staying behind makes me a little sad. The kids still got along very well even though we have not met for sometime. Hopefully their friendship will remain as they continue to grow up. Recap of 2021 1. I realized I can bake.  2. I love making bread or trying to make food cute. 3....
