Staycation at Festive

Popo was really nice to use her points to redeem a hotel room at Festive Hotel for us on Sunday. That was my little "getaway" to help me retain my sanity and pull me through until my precious Korea trip in December.

Unlike previous times, we only reached the hotel nearing check-in time. Lil Isaac went with Popo and my brö's family first while I stayed behind to wait for the girls to finish their phonics class before sending them there.

The night stay was very relaxing. We didn't do much but swim and munch on alot of tidbits. It was like a buffet spread for the kids and I comforted myself that they will eat normal, healthy food thereafter.

We visited this man-made beach/ swimming pool at the Hard Rock hotel. It was really cool. One of the pools was a man made beach. The processed sand was very clean and so was the chlorine water. It actually looks and feels like a beach at one of those overseas beautiful beaches with calm and shallow water. While in the water, it is like walking in the sea. There was sand even on the pool floor. The kids had tons of fun.

We went to the butterfly park the next morning. I backed out at the last minute and asked Auntie to accompany Daddy Lim and the kids. I think my heart cannot take it. I asked Daddy Lim to take some pictures to show me and he ended up with 3 pictures of the butterfly. -.o"

They didn't stay long too. Daddy Lim said that Lil Shauna got scared at the first enclosure shortly and started asking why the butterflies were following them. Then she asked 2x to leave the park. At the second enclosure, Lil Isaac got frightened by some loud bird calls and started crying. Then they went to the indoor part of the park to look at the specimen and there were live display of the stick and leaf insects. The guide was very friendly and encouraging and asked if Daddy Lim wanted to hold the insects. It was Daddy Lim's turn to freak out. Lol.

We ended the stay with another swim before making our way home. Lil Shauna was reluctant to go but happily left when we promised her sand art at vivo city. Hehe.
