Pat's Schoolhouse Family Day

Today is Gor Gor Reuben's school's family day and they celebrated it at Sentosa. Mummy and Daddy took the day off to spend it with him and brought me along too. It was wonderful to have the whole family there.

Unfortunately, due to 4 cases of HFMD in the K1 cohort, the teachers decided to cancel the water play at POLW and replaced it with a family treasure hunt. Gor Gor Reuben was very very disappointed that there wasn't any water play as he was really looking forward to that. Well at least we got on to the cable car and explored some parts of Sentosa.

We gathered at The Jewel Box at 8.30am and because there were very few parking spaces, many parents were delayed as they had to find parking elsewhere. We only started at about 9.15am and by that time, Gor Gor Reuben had already fallen into the pond accidentally and got himself all wet. Mummy and Daddy were initially annoyed that he was not careful but they got upset with him when he started crying and insisted on changing his clothes but there weren't any spare clothes for him. After some whining, he got over it and decided to join his friends.

We took the cable car over to Sentosa Island and after some treasure hunting together with Ethan Yum and his daddy Uncle Justin and a pit stop at McDonald's for some chocolate sundaes and fries, we completed the race and headed back to The Jewel Box for lunch. Lunch was simple but enough and after the prize giving, we were dismissed at 2pm.

The fun didn't stop there. Mummy had arranged for a stay cation over at Amara Sanctuary since we were around that area. We checked into the hotel and after some packing, we headed to the beach to build some sand castles. We dipped our feet in the seawater and even had fun at the nearby playground. At 5pm, we headed to the nearby animal sanctuary where there was a performance involving eagles, macaws, a monkey, a snake and some other birds. We had a good time watching the animals perform.

After the show, we took a tram and headed to the Luge where Daddy and Gor Gor Reuben had their first experience with the Luge. As I was too small, Mummy took me and we waited for the boys at Starbucks. I think Gor Gor Reuben had a lot of fun and wanted more but it was getting dark so we had to look for dinner and then headed back to the hotel.

The next morning, Mummy and Daddy surprised us with a morning swim at the rooftop pool. It was fun as we played in the jacuzzi pool. We also had our water guns and had fun shooting at Daddy and Mummy.

We checked out of the hotel at about 10.30am. I had great fun at Sentosa.
