It is the first day of September School Holiday for 2016. This year we had an extra 2 days of school holiday. Started early on Friday (Teacher’s Day) and ended on Monday (Hari Raya Haji).
Recently, over the National Day period, teacher has been teaching the kids on the significant places in Singapore. They had songs which introduce the kids to Esplanade, Clarke Quay, Singapore River etc. So, I decided to bring the kids to riverside (along Fullerton Hotel), walking towards Merlion Park, and then crossing the bridge to Esplanade with the view of Marina Bay Sands.
We took the MRT from Clementi MRT station to Raffles Place MRT station…
 |
| Yay! Our day trip begins at Clementi MRT, soon to be our new home! |
 |
| The happy duo… |
From Raffles Place MRT, take exit H towards Fullerton Hotel…
We went to Fullerton Hotel for a tour and a toilet trip.
 |
| F1 car racing… |
 |
| Saw a ferrari parked outside the hotel… |
Walked around the bridge… with the view of Singapore river…
 |
| Love this photo… |
 |
| So cool looking boy… |
 |
| The weather is really good for photo taking! |
 |
| Qin still remember the hotel… cause I bring her here in April 2016 for her birthday meal…such a good memory. |
We then walked over to the Merlion Park…
 |
| The mini one.. which the kids quite like… |
 |
| And the actual one.. which they are not so interested in….I wonder why… |
 |
| Taken by little princess |
 |
| And by the boy… (no merlion in the photo ) |
From there, walk across the bridge to Esplanade…
 |
 |
| Nice view of MBS! |
Kids are a little hungry and tired so we sit around the Esplanade area and have some biscuit and water.
 |
| The tired kids… |
 |
| Photo with MBS |
Catch a couple of Pokemon (lots of Magikarp, Psyduck and Slowpoke) along the Esplanade area while resting our legs… then we walked over to Marina Square, and to Ritz Carlton Hotel.

We arrived a little early and buffet has not started. We walk around the hotel for a bit. Then when it is 12pm,we went in for the FOOD!
 |
| Happy… finally can rest, sit down and eat. |
 |
| Happy girl… |
 |
| They love the bread stick |
 |
| Qin really love to eat bread with butter |
 |
| And this is their favourite bread stick… keep refilling. I can’t keep track of how many they eat… |
 |
| Dessert time.. he loves the ice cream, had two servings! |
 |
| And girl girl goes for all the pretty desserts… |
After they are more or less full, I requested some colouring paper for the kids, so that they can keep themselves entertained for a bit!
 |
 |
| Happy! |
 |
| My art work! |
Also requested for birthday cake for the little one… even though his birthday is not until end of the year… but since girl girl and my birthday is over, his one is the nearest one. So happy with the cake!
 |
 |
| His first birthday celebration this year! |
 |
| Blowing the candle! |
 |
| Such a happy boy! |
 |
After the food, no one wants to go home. So we went shopping at Marina Square. Kids went crazy at the indoor playground…
 |
 |
And mummy is officially tired, we walked over to One Raffles Link and took a cab home!
 |
| One last photo requested by the boy before we go home! |
There was a jam along the expressway and we manage to reach home by 5pm. We rested for a bit, had some fruits and then shower and sleep.
