Singaporingghe

This is quite a common scene whenever nak buat kerja kat 'office' i kat rumah. Bila orang bukak komputer time tu le si bulu nak manja2, adalah dekat 5X, and that's just in the morning!Belum lagi masuk yg the other one...yg had tu suka dok atas buku kita or kaki atas keyboard. 

Anyway, last weekend balik kampung. Of course lah jem kan. Cina raya kita nak raya sama, india raya, kita sibuk nak raya jugak...took us double the time that would normally take us to balik to my kampung. MG kept muttering, dah boleh sampai S'pore dah ni..! Pakcik ni ada hajat tak kesampaian...

Recently, we went Singaporingghe. The last time i went over the tambak was when i was BabyX's age. Tu dia...ada a few times i ajak MG..jom le holiday ke sana. Taknaklah! Ada apa katanya. Then sometime middle of last year, he mentioned about some kedai yang telah dibukak kat S'pore. Kat Mesia takde katanya..nama kedai macam nama species burung je to me. And masa tu dia cakap jom! Of course la i bagi pandangan kotor kan...(pasal duit dah habis melabur ke bling2).  Anyway, during the recent trip, sampai2 je kat OrchardRoad, checked in hotel, letak bag semua, terjahlah kami mengukur jalan. GPS dalam bentuk MG sungguh bagusss.....lepas masuk satu dua kedai buat cukup syarat, masuklah kami ke kedai yg nama cam species burung tu yg dah lama menjadi idaman hatinya. Phwoaarrr! Dia buh model jantan kat depan kedai yg pakai jeans je uols! Jenuh anak2 i panggil kedai orang bogel. Selipar pun that guy tak pakai...(sepentot? Hmmm..munsykil i sehingga ke hari ini sebab his jeans were very2 low cut..). I was embarrased to look at that guy but i still gawk! Not only that, kat dalam ala2 nite club gittew. Dgn balam2 nya, music sikit  punya kuatnya...(chippendale je takdak!). I dok kat sofa dgn baby X main osom and lamprit. Little D hilang dicelah2 rak baju dgn paknya (yg macam kerasukan). Baru day one uols and MG dah merenduh dgn beg pelestik!

Second day pi zoo..ni of course i yg jaga itinerary kan..Apa2 yg ala2 Animal Planet memang i suka. Balik zoo, swimming jap kat hotel then keluar makan and balik hotel je pasal esok nak pi USS (i bet hati MG bagai digaru2 nak pi shopping). At USS...baby X hated it! Nak masuk tengok movie Shrek pun airmata dah keluar ala2 NengYatimah. Pastu convinced her to naik roller coaster dekat Shrek's castle tu. Apparently paling baby sekalilah kat situ...ala2 runaway mine train kat sunwaylagoon je kata maknya (or so i thought). Ya rabbi...naik je benda alah tu, i rasa cam nak nangis pun ada because i ni taklah berani uols..speed should not be combined with height. Kalau separate ok..dua2 sekali memang cam nak kena heart attack! BabyX keras jegang sebelah i. Pas tu memang moody gilalah makcik kecik. Naik river rapid yang ada dinosaur yg tak cuit kita langsung tu pun jenuh berpujuk. Really went downhill from then onwards. Nak tangkap gambar dgn characters pun taknak. Pastu muntah kayap dlm plastik bag dlm restaurant kat depan Mummy tu. I think she was beginning to feel unwell. Dah start batuk2. Tunggu parade pun taknak uols! Suffice it to say, jimat duit makpak korang because obviously plan nak pi HK and GoldCoast dah sememangnya kena cancel. Little D pun sama. Betty boop pun takut! Balik hotel mak dgn anak2 semua dah flat. Mak flat bec tension dok perati anak yg dah start semput2. Sib baik bawak nebuliser. Anak2 flat pasal trauma USS hihihi! Paknya suka kitaorg flat pasal...dia pi shopping sensorang lepas tu!! I told MG, you la pulak jaga anak...i tingin gak nak shopping. Haa? Duit pun you tak tukar, katanya. Memang i tak berhajat langsung nak kirai duit (nak tengok biawak komodo kat zoo je..gila pelik). I tested the 'water' je lah kan...I texted Ust.Munah, asked her, errr...apa nak shopping kat Spore ni? Don't think i can fit into most bajus. Dia kata sapa suh shopping baju? Pi la shopping barang rumah (Then the next day i got crazy buying silicone cup/cake moulds). MG bila dah dapat greenlight, terus pi terjah masuk kedai orang bogel tu lagi. Nak stock up katanya. Then he went to check out kedai jual barangan rumah yg baru bukak that weekend. Cam tetau je MG nak datang.

The next day was free and easy. Went to C&B. Bestnya shopping tak perlu keluar duit sendiri..ni boleh daddy? OK....ni cantik tak? OK....(how i wish it's kedai elvavi ke...malberak ke yang i boleh main capai2 je ni). Then we pi Arab Street because i dah kemaruk nak makan nasik. Hajat hati MG was to go to this certain shop to look for certain something (phwoaarr..punyalah rahsia cam trade secret kan. Yg apparently bukan rahsia lagi.) but i rolled my eyes. I said, si kecik dah semput2, we need to see a dr. Obviously must get to JB sooner. Sian MG..kempunan dia..tu yg dok merenung jauh je tengah plan bila nak pi lagi ni.

Tiba kat JB petang tu pi cari KPJ dulu. BabyX ok je since i've already started to neb her. Punyalah pesan kat dia jgn keriau2, jangan lasak2...esok paginya turun naik slide kat swimming pool hotel cam tak ingat donia. We drove home the next day. Three hours je from JB to where we live kalau tak jem and berenti makan..tu yang MG dok berangan2 lagi tu..next time kids stay at home yeah! Senang mak pak nak pegang pelestik beg.

All in all, i love the place. The trees lining the roadside, the nice smelling taxis, courteous taxi drivers, clean public toilets...i cakap kat MG, next time datang kita dok hotel yg sama ye..big studio hotel room for the price we pay. Err..you book Mandarin ke..Hilton ke...apasal i tanya? Lagi dekat dgn tempat shopping, keluar hotel je boleh terus masuk kedai yg nama species burung tu katanya (Err..i do think we should try to visit the aquarium, birdpark etc.also next time...)
