There are always fun things for kids to do at IKEA

Over the EID weekend, we pop by IKEA for their AED 5 breakfast. While many restaurant does not accept buy 1 free 1 voucher over long public holiday, IKEA had Eid holiday breakfast special where their breakfast set goes for a whopping 50% off (as long as you are their member which is absolutely free to apply).

We reached at slightly past 10am and there are so many people already. We are lucky to find a table so fast and the queue to purchase does move pretty efficient and we got our food within 30 mins of reaching. 


The AED 5 breakfast is very worth it, you get a hash brown, two sausages , scrambled egg and baked beans!

Kids enjoying their breakfast!
After breakfast, we dropped the kids at Smiland. It is the first time for us and I am pretty amazed. The play area is not big but the adult does not need to be around so we practically get free childcare services for 1 hour (1.5 hours on weekday for members. Yay, another reason to get their free membership card) and they even have loyalty card where we get a free kids meal with 5 visits. Probably one of the best deal around--> kids get to play for free, I get free childcare and after we go for 5 times , we get a free kids meal. Win, Win and Win!


We bought some items from IKEA and there is additional 10% off over the EID holiday! Amazed ++

So, the AED 5 brekkie are gonna run up to 15 August so there are still a couple more days to enjoy the promotion. On weekday, members get free coffee too!

As for the Smiland, its available all year round so pop by anytime you want.

Oh ya, there is a mini summer camp going on as well over the summer holiday. Happening every Monday, so if you are interested, do check out this link to register. Again, at no additional cost!

Travel tips to Perth in Winter

Image
My first travel post will be sharing our family winter trip in Perth.  HOW LONG TO GO: Our trip is 2 weeks long as part of it is hubby's business trip, a trip of 5-7 days will be sufficient. For those planning for a trip this June School Holiday , Perth is actually quite a nice place to go. In contrary to normal believe that weather is bad in Australia in winter, we actually find it quite cooling and not too windy or rainy as long as you avoid Busselton and Margaret River area. Focus your trip to Perth up to Rockingham and anywhere to the north of Perth will have cooling and sunny weather most of the time. Check out the Perth weather forecast   here. It ranges between 8 to 18 degree Celsius throughout and it is quite cooling and nice! FLIGHTS For direct flight from Singapore, one can choose between Singapore Airline, Emirates, Qantas, Scoot and Jetstar. We took Singapore Airline as it is hubby's business trip. For those who wants to travel in comfor...

Kidzoona indoor playground at Jusco Bukit Indah, Johor, Malaysia.

Image
We recently brought the kids to Kizoona at Jusco Bukit Indah. I find it very worth it in terms of the price and the facilities are also pretty good.  The place is not big but there is enough things for the kids to spend a few hours there... Includes bouncing castle, some individual shops (flower shop, cafe, supermarket for kids to play around), a big pool of ball, some cars, and a huge rolling ball-like thing where kids can go in and rotate. Fully air conditioned and there is only one entrance to go in and out. Parents can stay inside to accompany your kids at no additional charge. Just remember to bring your own socks otherwise have to purchase before going in. Toilet is not in the playground so there only cons is have to bring the kids out to toilet. Tickets are for a whole day so unlimited entry throughout the day.  Kids can play, go our for lunch and then come back and play again.  If there is two of you looking after the kids , can take t...

It is included in the 3 park passes we purchased yesterday.  Some fun facts of Southern Koalas So where is the koalas kiddo? "There! We spotted one" We spend about 1.5 hours here. There is some fun facts and exhibition at the centre (koalas diet, digestive system, population etc) and a broad walk/park which visitor can walk around, having fun spotting the koalas. The koalas are a big high up on the tree though so we can't see clearly plus they are sleeping most of the time during the da...

Kuala Lumpur Getaway October 2014--- Colmar Tropicale and KidZania (Part 1)

Image
We had been to Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia a couple of times so wanted to do something different this time round. Our initial plan was to go watch turtles in Terengganu or Cherating, but the car journey there is quite long and we only have a couple of day for this getaway so decided to go KL instead. Intially, the plan is to travel to Colmar Tropicale and stay one night there. Then travel to KL and stay 2 nights. Later on, decided to just stay all 3 nights in KL so that we don't need to move our luggage around. Plus, Colmar Tropicale is about an hour away from KL so we could do a day trip from KL. KidZania is situated in Petaling Jaya so we decided to try out Hilton Petaling Jaya... 11th October 2014 Departing JB at 9.30am, we began our journey...30 minutes down the road, little boy fall asleep and he only wakes up 2 hours later so we had a pretty peaceful trip.  Halfway through, little girl commented "Mummy, I am very happy we can go to KL"... that is so...

Day 3 After spending 2 days in Fremantle, we checked out of the hotel and drove into the Perth CBD area... It is about half an hour drive and our first stop is to fill our stomach at Hog's Breath, highly recommended by my ex-colleague who used to study in Perth. Rustic interior look More seatings Bar area Hog's Breath specialise in Prime Rib Steak which they slow cook for 18 hours. Hubby and me both ordered their Prime Rib Steak (mine is original version and hubby's one is top with egg and bacon).  They have 3 types of cut to suit different stomach: 1) Traditional cut-about 300g steak 2) Lite cut-about 200g steak 3) Mega cut-about 400g steak While waiting, the kids got their colour pack... so they are enjoying themselves. Cheerful girl... always ready for the camera Our steak has arrived and they look wonderful! My medium well Natural Prime Rib (Traditional Cut), with mushroom sauce Hubby's Medium well Aussie P...

Great for family/ friends bonding- KUKUP 2 day 1 night TRIP

Image
Situated in Pontian District, Johor, Malaysia- KUKUP Fishing Village is a wonderful place for family/friends bonding.  The chalets are build on the sea and there is not much attractions around the area so basically most activities are done in or around the chalet which is great for bonding. There is no place to park the car in front of the chalet as all of the chalets are build on water, so do park your car (if you are driving) at the designated car park before the jetty. We parked at JJ Carpark (RM7 for 24 hours) and the staff send us to the jetty area using his van. We can then walk or take a boat to the chalet.  We decided to walk....and we manage to enjoyed a cooling and refreshing coconut pudding on the way... Refreshing coconut pudding Very nice and refreshing thought is a bit pricey RM9 There is also some stalls selling dried seafood- anchovies, etc. Bicycles are available for rental ... The chalet we stayed in... There...

Winter in Perth 2014 (Day 1 and 2)

Image
First travel blog post on our 2 weeks trip to Perth, Australia in June/July 2014. This is our first solo family trip abroad (2 adults to 2 kids). Previously we had travel abroad with the kids but with additional help from our extended families members! So, along with the excitement, there are also some uncertainties as I will need to spend a few days with the two kids alone while hubby is working. Before I share our travel journey, I have compile a few humble tips for those who wanted to travel to Perth in Winter. You can read about them  here. Our Perth Travel Journey... Day 1 Hubby and me has been contemplating if we wanted to go Perth for holiday during their winter. Initially was tempted to book the flight during a Scoot Father's Day promotion but hold off because we saw the weather forecast will be raining during the days that we wanted to come, plus weather is cold and we are worried that the kids will not be able to adapt....but at very last minute, we booked our ...

Staycation @ Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, Singapore

Image
How often does one step foot in Changi Airport and not catching a flight or picking someone up? For those who are staying in the east of Singapore, some might just go to the airport and enjoy their facilities, had some food, play at the playground or even do some groceries shopping. I think I am a little outdated as I did not even know that Changi Airport has NTUC as well (and their prices are not more expensive that the rest of NTUC). However, for someone like me who stay in the West, I hardly step foot at Changi Airport unless I am flying off someone or picking up someone. For me to take a MRT or drive to Changi Airport is a big commitment as it is not exactly near and there are so many nearby playground and shopping mall that I can enjoy within minutes from my house.  I hardly walk around the airport properly as I am usually rushing to catch a flight. It usually starts with a check in, then grab something to eat or drink while waiting for the plane. At most kids get...

Westgate Hotel Review (Ximending, Taipei, Taiwan)

Image
We stayed in Westgate Hotel during our trip to Taipei in September 2015. Hotel is generally clean and comfortable. We opted for executive room but our only complain is there is only a really small window with no view at all. Hubby blamed the "lack of sunlight from window" causes us to wake up late everyday but I think we are just generally pretty good in sleeping. Room Room is a good size for Ximending standard. There is a queen size bed, shower, toilet, TV, and a separate living area on a platform. In room safe is provided for safekeeping of expensive items. Bed-queen size. Separate living area.. pretty cosy TV Sink Toilet with multiple cool function-heated seat etc Shower head has good water pressure but the space is quite small. I can't hang my clothes in the shower room as the water will splashes on my clothes. This is how small the shower room is... Shower  Coffee and tea making facilities and wine glasses Complimentary drin...
