Austin Heights Again?!!

Oh yes. Lol. Bcos it was the PSLE marking week. But it was just the weekend bcos my brother's family had planned earlier to crash just for the weekend and we followed. They had entered on Thursday night, deciding to skip school for all 3 girls bcos exams are either over or non-existent. We didn't have the luxury with SA2 lurking in the corner.

We decided to pull the "after midnight" stunt again. The kids understood the drill and willingly go to bed for a "nap" at 10ishpm until the custom jam let up. It was slightly better this time and the "red line" disappeared at midnight. We started our journey at 12.30am and there was no traffic at all at both immigrations. Zaky merely moved his bed from the house to the car.

We were staying beside the KSL mall this time bcos my brother's family was already parked there.

The drive was very smooth and we arrived within an hour since we started our journey. Daddy Lim's tummy was rumbling upon arrival and we were lucky to find Ramli burger right at the apartment doorstep. Zaky was so tired that but he gave up the Ramli burger for sleep. What big sacrifice! We were all happily in the lala land's embrace shortly.

The apartment is clean and decent with 2 double beds and a small kitchen.

It came with a bathtub too but nobody was interested. We had too little time and too much stuff to do.

The view from the balcony before the hustle and bustle.

Soon, we were on the way to bfast before heading to the 1st activity of the day - laser tag.

It was a lot of fun and a good workout particularly for Zaky. He was pouring sweat after each game (we had 3) but the rest of us came out decent looking leh. Lol. I wonder what he did on top of laser tag.

We were too early for the VR at 3pm and the kids had a go at the drift cart as well as yummy finger food. We had too much at bfast to have a proper lunch.

The VR games were great just a tad too expensive even though it is already in RM. I though we advanced further in the games with more experience under our belt.

Right after the VR, we had to rush off to the Escape Room. See, our program was so packed!

We opted for some martial arts theme and were shacked together. We already failed the 1st mission where we had to unlock the chain and had to call for help.

We almost escaped; they gave us extra time and we made it out of the room in the extra few mins.

We had an early dinner as we didn't have a proper lunch from the heavy bfast. The late night, VR and escape room took a toll on me and I started developing a headache and was queasy. We had tasty lok lok but I couldn't stomach any bcos it was too oily.

We headed back to the Airbnb for a rest and had wanted to hit the KTV. I popped 2 panadols to nurse the headache away before round 2 but never got to continue with part 2. I literally concussed despite the din created by the kids. I woke up intermittently to screaming and dancing kids, then to my brother asking who wanted Ramli burger, to unwilling kid being asked to go back to her room. I only woke up at 11ish to kids who were going into lala land. My headache was finally gone but it was bedtime again. Haha. I heard Zaky fought hard for the Ramli burger and Daddy Lim went for a massage while I was quite dead.

The next morning, I woke up before the rest did. The apartment comes with a huge pool and a gym. Yes, a gym. Hehehe. I packed my gym gear and the glorious sun greeted me on the way to the gym.

It was a decent gym with 2 treadmill and some other equipment. Though non-aircon, there was good air circulation. I sweared that the treadmill was not leveled bcos I huffed and puffed and had to reduce speed so that my poor heart could take it. I did complete my usual 30 mins and returned triumphantly to the sleeping apartment.

It wasn't long before we proceeded to check out. Checking out was self service and was just as convenient as checking in - drop the card key into the mail box and go! To another sumptuous bfast!

We headed to the mall for the kids to burn some energy at the Rocky Basecamp.

The adults took turns to supervise the kids.

We were too full for proper lunch and snacked before the final activity of the trip - KTV. This time we sang for 2 hours and it was just nice with so many people sharing the mic.

The day was finally done at about 5pm and we didn't feel hungry after all the snacking. With that, we started our way home.

The custom at the Malaysia side was a breeze; there was almost no Q. But we were stuck at a bloody 2.5 hrs at the Singapore immigration. Sob! Towards the end, we were all irritated and frustrated. At least the boy felt asleep and there was much peace.
