Hello JB: Day 3, Paradigm Mall

Bcos we agreed to "sleep later", I got to do so as well. I also get to visit the gym that opens at only 8am.

I was obviously the 1st guest and had to turn on the lights and aircon. I had a good 30 mins and ended when Daddy Lim came with the kids. I was quite surprised that he was able to wake them and meet me on time at 8.30am. I can imagine how hard it would be to wake the sleepy heads but I guessed nothing can stand in the way of a hungry man's way for bfast. 

After bfast, it was final packing up and loading into the car's boot. I really enjoy how we can just lug things (shoes, tidbits, new purchases) that cannot fit into the luggage in plastic bags and dump them into the car boot. This way of traveling is so convenient. Hoho. 

Goodbye to the comfortable hotel for 2 nights. 

Our destination for the morning was Paradigm Mall. It is a new mall that is again nearer to Austin Heights than where we stayed. Lol. It took us half an hour by car and the mall is huge! I think it is 7 levels high and while not fully occupied, is still good to keep us entertained for the morning. There is even an ice skating rink that is the size of the Kallang rink. 

We all bought something. Not new slippers for Nana and I but didn't stop us from taking pictures. Hoho. 

Zaky didnt at all want to shop but I bought him new clothes nevertheless. He was whining throughout and is at that awkward age where he doesn't shop yet and is too old to be interested in toys or fit into playgrounds and bouncing castles. He was actually very interested to try jumping into one if allowed but too embarrassed to try. Haha. 

He is crazy over claw machines but I had to stop him. Wasting $$ is one thing but what do we do with all the soft toys??!! They will just end up in the storeroom and be thrown away after a period of time. Zzzzz. 

We eventually found an arcade and the kids were entertained for a while before we look for lunch and headed home. The kids were so awkward on the dance machine, they were more like stomping giants. Lol.

It was a simple KFC lunch before heading home. The custom looked manageable. 

All Singaporeans topped up their gas tank before leaving Malaysia, except us. Zzzzzz. Daddy Lim set the final destination as "home" and we missed the last petrol kisok and drove straight to the custom. 

The immigration at Malaysia side was fast but slow moving on the Singapore side. The wait is always not fun and made worse after lunch. 

We made it home safely. Puff didn't seem to notice our absence though. 

It was definitely a great trip. Every holiday is a good one. I like to 买东西，吃东西. Hohoho. Even Daddy Lim thinks that we should drive in more often. That is of course bcos there was almost no jam at the custom. Let's hope for more opportunities for such travel or my neck would have grown longer by the time the Melborne trip is here. 

I need more holidays.
