Last week we were in Singapore. Between the two of us, I was the tourist for the whole week and he was the boring working man there. HAHA. Lana and I would stroll around in Singapore after her morning nap; although my mum constantly reminded me to just stay in the room. My mother got worried if we would get kidnapped. Kidding! She was worried of our safety, of course. But, I knew I will be fine because Singapore is a pretty safe country and their pedestrian walking pavement was well-built. So pushing the stroller was no issue.
What’s more, I was couraged to go here and there because I made a friend name Rebecca from Malaysia too. She, like me, followed her husband for business trip and happened to have a baby boy same age as Lana. TING! TING! TING! We became friend instantly. HAHA.
We went lunch together, we plan jalan-jalan** together, we bring the kids to the park, we talk about babies and we were bankers! Bonus point there. (Cant believe I am this kind of person now. LOL. What I do best nowadays is talking about babies and their stuff). So I did get to explore Singapore during my stay there. But I wished hubs was with us. Poor he had to do lots of work. Here are some pictures of Lana’s first playdate !
Lana first friend name Ming Jun. Totally different from Lana. He is a cool and relax boy. Lana was all touchy touchy. She hold his feet and tapped his hand. HAHA
Anyway, Saturday comes and we were thrilled because finally we got to spend time together as family. We went to Gardens by the Bay at Marina City Park. It is a very beautiful place, full of different kind of flowers. Kids would love it as they will get to explore the grass, flowers, nature and whole other thing. If Lana was to walk that time, I would lose 10 kilos for sure!
Lana got excited when she touched all the flowers

As the sun set, we make our way to Marina Bay Sands. There was a show scheduled at 7.30pm, a local informed us. We slowly walked there and explore the Marina. We got tired of walking and I suggested to hubs that I wanted to see the Marina hotel rooms. From where we stood, we were able to see the rooms very clearly. That was when my best 15-minute started! HAHA. Most of the tenants did not close their curtain and the rooms were lit up. We were condemning how small the room was (I guess that was their standard room), how cool that the curtain could be closed by a click, no manual closing needed okay.
So, as we were eyeballing the room I saw an old man in his towel, just finished bathing. Meh, boring. A few seconds later, a very young skinny girl came out of the bathroom too. She was in her rob. Woah! An old man and a very young girl? Hmmmmm, they caught our eyes! HAHA. I was watching them, amazed that they did not close their curtain. I could see her changing her clothes. To be frank, I cannot see anything. She wore her clothes behind the couch. All I can see is her figure, movement and what was she putting on. While the couple is getting ready, hubs and I were creating conversation for the two. HAHA.
The funny thing was, the young lady was constantly changing her clothes for many times. First, she put her skirt on and a blouse. Then she changed to wear denim pants and another clothes. Then she opened her pants back to change her panties (I swear! But honestly we did not see any private area, just the movement). Later she went to sit on the man’s lap, talked for a bit, continued to do her hair and make up. So yeah, we thought; okay our short movie has come to an end. Surprisingly, she changed again and wore checked pyjamas pants and a black t-shirt. Took her handbag and off they went for dinner or god-knows-where-they-were-going. Hubs and I were laughing hysterically at the young lady. She was all doll up then at last she decided to wear her pyjamas pants and went out. Or maybe…….who knew that was a Burberry checked pants? We are not loaded people, we would not know all that. To us, it looked like pyjamas pant.
Beside the couple, there was a lady beside their room who was busy packing clothes and stuff for straight 15 minutes. Hubs was more interested in her, as she was all busy in one spot but nothing seems to shift. On the upper floor, we saw another couple; both in their bathroom robes. They looked like they are fighting. When we just about to leave our funny hotel scenes, we saw a man entering his room while opening his clothes. I told hubs, he better not opening his pants while the curtain was wide opened. Unfortunately, it was sore to my eye that he did open the pant and we both saw the back part! We stood and walked away quickly from the spot before he saw us with embarrassment.
Yes, we were naughty but hey you hotel guests, why don’t you guys close the curtains! Bottom line, I had fun being silly with my husband. It was the best 15-minute spend with my hubs. We laughed hysterically and soon I realised this is one of the reasons why I fall in love with him. We were always like this when we were in Sydney. Good old times.
And where was Lana? She was sleeping, gone somewhere in her LaLa Land. LOL. Thank you babygirl for giving Umi and daddy some quality time.
Sometimes, the small silly things make me happy and just enough to make me feel thankful to love and to be loved.
Few hours till weekend. Happy working peeps!
NOTE: jalan-jalan means hang out in English.
