~ December Holidays @ SAF Changi Seaview Resort ~

We are glad to be back again at the SAF Changi Seaview Resort! This is our favourite chalet spot and the children were excited as they had enjoyed their stay there 2 years ago. http://bpdgtravels.blogspot.sg/2010/12/moments-saf-changi-chalet-day-1.html

The iconic purple Moo Moo Cow welcomed us at the entrance


Each unit is entitled to only 1 carpark lot. Hence we have to look for other locations to park our car. Visitors can also get to the SAF Changi Seaview Resort via Bus 29.

Two years ago, we stayed in the Gemini unit. This time we are pleased to be in the Taurus unit. The wall colours is set in Green theme, one of our favourite colour. :)


The furnishing remains neat and clean. There are 2 bedrooms which are sufficient to accommodate 2 families comfortably.

The balcony and BBQ facing the sea. It is cooling and relaxing to sit here and chit-chat with our friends. I enjoy waking up in the morning hearing the waves of the sea and the boats horning.
Its a also a favourite spot to rest here and enjoy the breeze.


Gladys LOVE the beach and she nevers misses it whenever there is opportunity for her to pick seashells and play with the sand.

It has been raining almost everyday but we were lucky to have clear blue sky during our barbecue sessions.

It is this time where children can get together and have some FUN too!

The key highlights in any chalet is probably preparing and cooking the food. Seeing this always open my appetite. ^_^



It is a short stay but a great time-out for us and the kiddos. We definitely look forward to be back here again soon.

Note: SAF Changi Seaview Resort is not open to public for booking. It is exclusively for SAF personnels. Bookings are allocated by balloting.

~ BBQ @ PA Holiday Bungalow ~

Our family were invited to a BBQ session at PA Holiday Bungalow. I used to pass by these holiday bungalows but didn't had a chance to see how it looked inside.


It is BIG and SPACIOUS! Even the dining area looks as big as my living hall. :p

There are 3 rooms on the second floor and all them are big! You can easily accommodate more than 10 people inside. We can even have buffet at the balconies.

With the advantage of the space area, it is fun to play hide-n-seek. Denver & Gladys ran up and down with their cousin, screaming along the way.

We had a lot of food and it was a fun evening. Thank you once again for the invitation. ^_^

~ Relaxing @ DTE Chalet - Day 3 ~

25th September 2011 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY GLADYS! Our little princess was completely knocked out last night after having her cake. She was back to her energetic self once again after a good night sleep. Daddy and Mommy were still feeling restless though with body aching all over. Hahaha.

Gladys had a good look at her balloon and noticed a little card. She happily read the greetings aloud and blushed with a big smile. ^_^


We spent our morning playing Xbox games, swimming, snacking and packing up. The only outdoor activity that we had was enjoying the breath-taking acrobatic acts and cultural dance performances at the event square.

When it was time for stage games, Gladys was so eagered that she couldn't stop raising her hands. She was picked by the emcee twice and won prizes.



The acrobatic acts were cool and amazing winning the audience applause.



So what did Gladys won? Two House of Mini vouchers worth $3 each. With that, the children had the opportunity to decorate their own mini cupcakes.

First, we need to choose the flavour of the cupcakes (chocolate or vanilla). Then, we chose the icing and top fillings.


Watch Denver & Gladys decorating their cupcakes. :)

The final product which ends up in their tummies.

It's time for us to head home but we'll be back soon. ^_^

~ BBQ + Pinata + Birthday celebration @ DTE Chalet - Day 2 ~

After a good swim, it's time to get to work! BBQ started as early as 3 plus in the afternoon. While the boys are busy playing games, only our little girl is interested to help us out under the hot, blazing sun.


At the same time, our surprise present for Gladys also arrived! Her favourite - Balloons! Thanks to Groupon, we managed to get a better deal for this under $25.

Variety of food that we prepared for the BBQ.


While we are preparing the food, our friends also arrived. It's also time to bring on our next surprise! My D.I.Y Angry Bird Pinata. I made two pinatas (just in case one of them failed) and it was a good decision as the children can play twice! ^_^

Hubby helped to hang one of the pinata up and we are ready to put it to a test!

The pinata was sturdier than I expected. Despite many hits, it only got dented. Luckily, the paper started to shred from the hanging point and eventually, the Angry Bird was Down! Hurray!

Later in the evening, more children joins in the fun and we have our round 2 with our red pinata. This is going to be a more difficult task as 4 layers of papers were used and it is going to be even harder than the first one.

The children queue in line and give their best shot at the pinata. Our Angry bird swings back, forth, left, right but only suffered minor dents.




The children didn't give up ... determine to make the angry bird falls. It started to tear from the hanging point again and eventually, the pinata drops! Applause! This is the moment were children can go and grab their rewards - candies which are inside the pinata.

Note: Adult supervision is required when playing. Children should queue in line and keep safe distance from the hitting area to avoid injury..

After 2 days of hard work, my diy pinatas were torn and beaten... Still, it was worth it seeing the excitement and the children having so much fun!


The finale - Celebrating Gladys' 5th Birthday in advance! 


25th September is Gladys' birthday and we are happy to have so many friends joining us sharing the joy with her.

Bring out the cake, candles and sing a Happy Birthday Song to our fiesty princess!



Balloons, cake, pinata, sweets, games, bbq and great company! It has surely been a wonderful and happy day for us.



Special Thanks to:
1) Loong Ge, Andy, Johnny and Chunho joining our BBQ session with your families and gifts to Gladys.
2) Jo for being such a sweet Aunt and your lovely present.
3) Andy and Johnny for sharing your superb photos with us.

~ Play Time and Wild Wild Wet @ DTE Chalet - Day 2 ~

24th September 2011 - Morning routine : Breakfast at McDonalds. Again? The children enjoys it.. but maybe we can consider changing the venue next time? hehehe :)


After breakfast, it's bubble time for Gladys. I took her out while Daddy put the candies into the pinatas which I made earlier. Shhhhhh.. it is meant to be a little surprise.

Gladys had fun with the bubble play set which she got it from her teacher for being able to spell correctly. Her hands were soapy but she had so much fun!



Blow it High.... Blow it Low.... Pretty Bubbles everywhere!

After spending so much energy blowing the bubbles, our little girl still has a lot of reserve left to blow the balloons!

Our favourite outdoor event: Swimming! We head down to the pool and soak ourselves in the cold waters... ~ trembling ~ ~ ~...
Gladys is such a Happy Girl today! Even her smile looks sweeter!
Here are our water boys once again!

The moment the children has been waiting for.... WILD WILD WET! The COOL fantastic 4 has gathered once again ready to hit into the waters!

Checking out their heights while waiting for Wild Wild Wet to open the gates. We got 6 free tickets and it's just nice for all of us to enter.

A quick view around WWW. There are eateries, toilets, locker bay etc.

We are all set and ready! Mommy needs to keep her camera so that she can join in the fun too!!


Shiok River:  Let the waves brings you on a little exciting tour around Wild Wild Wet.

Say HI!

Tsunami: We had a Big Ball game at the Tsunami pool. The weather was great and we had so much throwing and catching the big orange ball while trying to move ourselves swiftly in the waters.

The Tsunami hit the pool at 11am sharp. Everyone got their tubes and rested on it while the waves hit and pushes them further and further away.

Professor's Playground: This is heavenly for the children. There are slides, water bucket and it's fun getting wet.




That ends our morning activity - BBQ session coming up!
