1st Overseas Trip and that is to Bintan!~Day 2

Day 2 of our Bintan Trip

Rise and Shine!!!!The cheery sun is waiting for us.
Caleb woke up slightly later around 8am. Quickly fed him his milk and off for the complimentary buffet breakfast. The selection was so-so but thanksfully they have the usual bread, and pancakes for the kiddos. The occupants from Tortoise A were very much like the name, Tortoise~slow. Heehee. By the time we went out for breakfast, the folks from Tortoise F are already done with breakfast liao lor..

Well after breakfast, we adjourned to Tortoise F for a dip.. and guess what, again we are too slow. They are done with their swimming already. Gosh!!!! Nonetheless since we are already there, might as well just jump into the pool haha..

Caleb is still very much afraid of the water. Wonder when will he find his previous love for water. After the swim, we returned to our villa for the kiddos lunch. We made them nap so that we can have our lunch in peace.

After the kiddos wake up, we went for another swim. Hahaha.. basically nothing much to do except laze around, and swim. Well the sun was very strong and being kiasu mums, we slapped on quite abit of sun block for ourself and our kiddos. But Celeste still ended up being super tanned. Hahaha..

Some pics of our lovely swim:

Babes frolicking in the pool :P

The tortoises at Tortoise A are trying very hard to beat the folks at Tortoise F. Heehee determined not to be tortoise again, we rushed and finally, we reached the Kelong earlier than Tortoise F. Heehee.. Boy were we elated!!!!

Well, we arranged to have dinner at a kelong located within Nirwana Gardens. Hmm.. the kelong was hot and humid (i know.. its expected of a kelong but still....)

This weather is bad for the kiddos. They couldnt sit still. We have to bring them out for walks. Luckily Aunty Sophia brought along her bottle of bubbles.. Provided some entertainment for the kiddos.

Well, food at the kelong also so-so only. They also forgot 1 of orders which we gladly cancelled cos everyone was full already.

So we went back to the villa and quickly settled the children to bed. Well..the mamis stayed up and chit chat till 3am... heehee.. alot to talk hor hahahaa...

1st Overseas Trip and that is to Bintan!~Day 1

ANNOUNCEMENTS!!!!
Caleb just came back from his very first overseas trip. We went to Bintan for a short getaway.This is a joint trip planned by Caleb's Mami, Aunty Celine, Aunty Sophia, Aunty Tracy and Aunty Rach. It was a 3D2N trip. We set off on 17th June and was back on 19th June.

Details of our trip comin' up... .. .. .. ... ... ...

Departure Day~17th June
We woke up to a cold morning. It was drizzling slightly.We have arranged to meet to meet at Tanah Merah Ferry terminal at 10.30am. We went to pick up the Niam family heehee cos Uncle Bo sent his car for repainting. The car ride was fun with so many people on board.
Upon reaching the terminal, we saw planes above us.. Wow,the kids excited to see the aeroplanes especially Celeste!
Well, after we reached the terminal, the rest also started coming in except Aunty Rachel. We called her only to discover that she was still at home. We decide to check in first because we were afraid there will not be seats left.

Mami & Caleb 4Cs.. Carol, Caleb, Celeste, Celine

By the very last min, Aunty Rachel finally made it to the check in. *Phew*

So all of us boarded the ferry sucessfully. Thanksfully, Caleb sleep throughout the 1 hour ride. So its a plus point for us. Heehee

On the ferry.. .. ..

After hitting shores and clearing the customs, we went on board the Nirwana Gardens bus that was supposed to pick us up. Hmm.. i must say that they are quite 'forgetful'. They almost left behind Uncle Bo's luggage. *tsk tsk*

The bus ride was alright and we reached the hotel pretty soon. Our villa, Tortoise A was ready for check in already. But the other villa, Tortoise F which is shared by Aunty Tracy, Aunty Rachel was not ready yet. The names sure are funny.. Tortoise. Heehee. But then, by this time all of us were growling with hunger already hence we decided to eat 1st b4 we adjourned to our villas..

After lunch, we proceeded to check into our 'Home', Tortoise A.

**Pictures compliments from Aunty Tracy **

We planned to have BBQ dinner tonight. But the BBQ was kinda a diaster. We rented the BBQ pit from Nirwana gardens and well, the kind folks helped us to set the fire. But the fire that that started seem to be impossible for BBQ. The fire is huge and the food was all burnt. *Sigh* Uncle Daren had to cook the rest of the food over a stove.

But special thanks to Uncle Bo and of Caleb's Dadi for manning the BBQ fort. Heehee.

After all our kiddos went to bed, the adults stayed up and chit chat. We saw a 'big whale at work' (its a joke known to us only).. hahaha.Well it was also the 1st time that we witness a dream feed. Aunty Tracy feed milk to Meg in the middle of her sleep without waking Meg up. Must say, its rather impressive!
