LZ's Weekend Surprise

Ever since I told LZ about a surprise that we arranged for the weekend, they have been 'bugging' us every other minute to find out what it was. Me, being the naughty mommy, refused to tell them. Hehehe....

L was smart enough to notice it when she saw the bag we brought along when we left the house. They finally found out the place we planned to go, Fairmont Singapore. LZdaddy had a free night stay at the hotel and it expired by end of this month. We wanted to book for the next weekend but it was the F1 race season and we can't use it for then. I think it doesn't make a difference to them since they just wanted to stay in the hotel.

Our room view was not too bad. We got to see the "durian", Merlion & the pool. We lazed around when we check in till we have no time to go to the pool. We had to send the kids for their classes as I don't want them to miss their ballet and piano lesson. When we came back, we went for the buffet at Market Cafe in the hotel. There was occasions when we tried booking for a table but to no avail coz they said we should book a day in advance. This time, we being the hotel guests, we managed to book a table few hours in advance. Well, we had free dinner at the cafe! Again, LZdaddy had free voucher for that and we were supposed to pay for L (above 6 yr old) but the cashier was so sweet not to charge us. If you like Peranakan food, you will enjoy the buffet.

The next morning after breakfast, I went to the pool with L. Z didn't go coz just when we were about to leave for the pool, Z had a quite a bad cut on his leg. LZdaddy stayed in the room with him. He was actually quite upset that we went ahead without him. But I promised L to bring her to the pool and I have to keep my promise. My little boy was easy to pacify, a few kisses & hugs and he was alright. Before checkout, we decided to go down for lunch instead of room service. My 2 babies kept asking if we can stay another night and I think LZdaddy was about to give in but I said no. L's exams are coming and I really want to spend time to go through her work with her.

Overall, it was a great bonding time for our family. We may not have done much during the stay but it was great to be spending some quality time together. AND we don't have to spend money for the hotel stay and the dinner buffet! Hahaha....
