X'mas Decorating @ Home

We had fun putting up our X'mas decor last week. Check out my $3 tree which I bought last year. It's stands at 5 foot tall, just nice to place in a little nook we have in our living room. We've spent the last week shopping for our ornaments at Tekka mall.

It's pretty exciting to have our own X'mas tree for the first time in our new house this year. We were overwhelmed by the different colour themes we can have for a simple X'mas tree. Pete & I had a hard time deciding between a colour theme for our tree. Alas, what we've ended up is neither the gold or silver we had in mind initially. We've got a combination of pink, blue & silver theme with white 'feathers' to get the snowy feel.

Phuket (Day 4)

We are checking out at 2pm today. Before heading back to Singapore, we spent our morning at the beach & pool side. Chloe still did not get over her phobia of the sand. She seemd quite miserable sitting on her own on the beach towel.







Chloe's favourite 'policeman' in the hotel


Found this eating outlet just outside another entrance of our hotel. Should have came here earlier as they serve really cheap n good food!

Phuket (Day 3)

Our morning was spent at Patong beach after a hearty breakfast. In some of the pictures, you can see Chloe frowning not daring to step on the sand.








Some pictures with Ian while waiting for our appointed local driver to bring us around for the day.








This local eating outlet sells fantastic Tom Yam fried rice. Love the taste of lemon grass infused into the rice. We had some satay, local hokkien mee & of cos Tom Yam fried rice. Again, Chloe knocked out before lunch is served. She again depended on only milk for lunch!











After lunch, we proceeded to the local products shop to get some biscuits & tidbits for relatives. We also visited the premium outlet to check out factory prices merchandise. I got some puzzles for Chloe while she played happily with Ian & one of the staff there. Our shopping trip was short-lived as we met with a super heavy downpour. It was quite hard shop hopping around with the kids around. It was quite a funny sight when Pete managed to get a gigantic umbrella from somewhere & sheltered 5of us in the heavy downpour. After awhile, we gave up & decided to head for birdnest nearby.

Our day ended early to our disappointment as our driver had last minute committments. We ended up eating cup noodles & local food bought from outside our hotel in the comfort of our hotel room.

Beautiful morning before breakfast

Bananas & Cornflakes anyone?

Fun @ the kids club




Holding hands with Ian after his arrival

Dinner @ a local restaurant not frequented by tourists. It's about half hour drive from Patong beach, recommended to us by our taxi guide. Cheap & value for money Thai food. Of cos at this restaurant, I had the most awesome Tom Yam Kung I've ever tasted. Power!! Sadly, Chloe fell asleep on the way there & Ian was pretty restless & had not much appetite for the seafood we've ordered.

Here's some of the dishes we ordered.
