Singapore November 2017

Never before had I gone to Singapore twice in a row so close together! But, when duty calls, one has to go. This time was for a work meeting. I went with my co-workers, and since it was a long weekend we decided to bring our kids along.

On her last day of exam, I picked Miss Kiki up from school in a taxi and went straight to the airport. We met up with everyone else and off we flew...

We had booked an AirBnb apartment so we could all stay together, and we took a taxi van to get there.




By the time we arrived and settled in, it was dinner time. We walked over to a mall nearby for dinner.




Then the next morning, we went out for our meeting... while the kids went out with their 'parents for the day'. So the 'parents' went out with 5 kids altogether. I'm sure it was quite the adventure! :D











After our meeting, we got back together with everyone else and had lunch. Oh, I also bought coffee at Bettr Barista, a coffee shop at the entrance of DBS Plaza Singapura. Supposedly it was a partnership between DBS and a company called Bettr Barista. You can read more about this place here. It was good coffee, I almost bought a second cup right after my last sip of the first cup. However, we were going for lunch right away so I didn't. 

We chose Old Street Bakut Teh for lunch. We have this restaurant in Jakarta as well. In Pacific Place to be precise. However, the Singapore location has more items on their menu.

 



After lunch we went upstairs to Spotlight (yup, the same store I went to in my previous post). And again, we forgot to take pictures. I did walk out of there with a bag full... Then we stopped for some frozen yogurt.



Then we walked along Orchard Rd, stopped at the Apple Store...







And look whom we found! Well actually, in our group, I was the only person who didn't meet him. Sigh....

With Kaesang
 Next stop was the Doterra office in Suntec City. We took the bus there. This time I had a big order to pick up so it took quite a while. Check out their Christmas Special packaging... so cute!

 

Aaaand, I was finally done collecting my order and here's Miss Kiki with my loot. :D



We were all pretty tired so we headed back to the apartment and had Subway takeout for dinner.

On the following day, early in the morning the kids had some time to go to a playground nearby... One supermom and 5 kids... Obviously that one it's not me! Lol.... (Thanks so much aunty!)









Soon after the got back, our taxi arrived and we went straight to the airport. We got dropped off at Terminal 3 because there is a mall in the basement. There was a small playground there, and we also had lunch there. The airport seems to have a collaboration with Sanrio for Christmas.






After lunch we moved to T2 because we had to take a shuttle bus to T4. In T2 we met up with our friend (yup, it's the same friend in my previous post).


The brand new Changi Airport T4 is large, and very automated. They had machines to weigh and scan your checked-in luggage, and the tag printing and attaching had to be done by ourselves. Basically less labour cost and more self-service. 




I went ahead inside past the immigration with three kids in tow. I think this is the maximum number of kids I can have at a time. Lol.... They were very good kids though, so it was very easy.


Never a dull moment with them..,












That's all, folks! Thanks for reading!

Nintendo Switch Sleeve Tutorial

Hi! I'm Kirana from woofkiki.blogspot.co.id . I am going to write an introduction for this blog post. We bought a Nintendo Switch in Japan.  I really liked it and played with it almost everyday. If you're wondering what a Nintendo Switch is, it is a video game where you can basically  "switch" everything. The joy-cons and even the game! You can also connect it to your TV. It would be nice to bring it around with you, but when you put it in your bag... Oh no! The screen scratched! So, this is a sleeve that will fix that. Let's get started!😊 Kirana Now the tutorial (by Kirana's mom)... 1. Make your pattern according to the picture below. It is basically a 6"x24" rectangle with a semi circle at one end. Note: this is not a printable pattern 1. Cut your outer fabric, lining, and batting(optional). In this tutorial, I used minky for lining and a pre-quilted fabric for the cover, so I didn't need extra batting. For batting, I recomm...

Spring in Egypt Part 9 - Luxor Temple

At the time when we arrived at Luxor temple it was already after dusk and it became a little difficult to take photos. I compensated by setting my camera ISO to 4000 to make tripod-less picture-taking possible even though the grains became more visible. Just like the previous nights, the moon still looked round to me. I wasn't sure which one of those moons was the actual full moon. We walked around the temple first with Michael for explanations about the temple. In the distance we were able to hear the adzan calling the people for prayer. Situated in the east bank, the construction of the temple was started by Amenhotep III, continued and finished by the famous King Tut and Horemheb, and then added on to by Rameses II and finally by Alexander the Great. Unlike the other temples we had previously visited, this temple is not dedicated to a single cult/god. Instead, it is used as a place to rejuvenate kingship. May of the kings were said to have been coronated at this temple. ...

Japan Winter Holiday 2017 Part 7 - Otaru Sakaimachi

On our second day in Otaru after we had breakfast and ice cream , we continued walking to Sakaimachi. This shopping street is one of the busiest in the city and is where a lot of Otaru attraction is located. In front of one of the stores there, we saw this cute dog wearing a Minion outfit. Of course Miss Kiki jumped and squealed and asked if she could pet it. We asked permission from the owner to take a picture with it. Along the street they have rock statues in the shape of famous characters like Anpanman and Mickey Mouse. With Anpanman It was a very nice day, we were able to walk around and had fun without feeling cold even though there were a lot of ice and snow. Check out the platforms they set up on the hill. We think that it's to prevent snow slides... Most of the buildings there were old style,,,  Many shops sell fresh seafood and they would cook it for you by order. As we walked past a souvenir shop, we saw a poster for these snowball make...
