Family @ FairMount

++

Wow, finally found some time to type stuff in!!

Today was family outing day! haha actually we didnt really do much! Just that the WHOLE family went to town as we had a room at the Fairmount hotel. I didnt know that there has always been two hotels at raffles city(City hall mrt). Yes, Raffles city shopping centre is at City hall mrt :/ anyway I THINK last time it was called WESTIN Hotel. Then SWISSOTEL bought over everything. But now Swissotel DOWNSIZED so the smaller round buliding/hotel at RCSC is now FAIRMOUNT and the taller one SWISSOTEL.

Anyhow, for some reason other than that the whole buliding is round, our rooms were quite odd shaped as well too!! We had this long passage way to the actual room which was very odd shaped too, but managed to make it such that there were no round corners other than the balcony.haha

Anyway before that had training at vjc! Training was considerably light considering the killers on wednesday and friday. And MR MELVIN TAN was deined entry into the school as he had a flu. :( he just came back from hk!

Had a 300m trial after some light-medium training and glad i ran a late 34, 35 flat race which i totally hit the wall at 285m. haha :D

Back to fairmount hotel! Checked in and family plus auntie when to the food court to have lunch! and it was a rare sight to see my dad at the food court! haha

Ate pepper lunch express to satisfy my craving for it! But my queue was barged in by this totally oblivious to her surroundings lady with the permernant frown.

Anyway, it was nice to have the whole family out for BONDING TIME! haha after lunch mum and sis n grandma when to walk walk at robinsons awhile with dad tagging along n i had to bring grandpa out to the open as he wanted to smoke. haha And of course we went back to the room after that as he doesnt really like to walk, or shop. haha

Headed down to Cathay Photo at Penisula Plaza as dad was checking out his binoculous and i wanted to check out new zoom lens for my current DSLR. Looking at the quite new and improved EF 70 to 300mm IS f.4/5.6. But dont think i'll be getting it anytime soon unless daddy strikes another giant windfall :D

Oh and sharony, SLR stands for "SINGLE LENS REFLEX" haha. Bet you didnt know that! or maybe you do... hmm. haha

Anyway grandma tagged along and it's hearty to see her back to 100% chatty and energetic state. Just a week ago my heart sank as i saw her lying on that hospital bed :(

Stopped for curry chicken bun and pork floss plus milo/tea at Bread Talk before heading back to the hotel and everyone was transfixed by the USA National spelling bee. haha

Suppose to gym with dad but he became lazy and napped instead so headed to the pool with sis n mum! AND GUESS WHAT I SAW PRISCELLA ANN VINCENT THERE! haha her close friend was celebrating her 21st or sth. anyway!! that;s not all!! Met Li Xuan at RCSC and she too was having a family getaway at fairmount hotel too! haha oh man.. so coincidental!

Anyways got back from the ULTRA FREEZING POOL and changed up for dinner at prego! Oh forgot to mention, alot of ang mohs where like squeezing for space as it was cloudy and the SUN was only shining on an area like 20m by 6m. hahaha it was funny man. Tanning population congrelation.

Dinner was PRIME. :D PRIME= good? haha learnt this catch word from BEAST WARS! hehehe yes love been keeping myself occupied without you in spore! haha come home soon!

Anyway, had yummi bread, anti pastas: calamaris, italian ham w rockmelon, italian mushrooms, and main course was shared with everyone included Veal, beef, two pastas, two PIZZAS which was the best , and something else i think :D It's like the food was alot, but somehow it was light to eat hence it didnt fill up as bad as i thought it would! or maybe the short swim just made the tummy bigger. haha

At night didnt really do much actually! Grandparents went home and mum, sis, sis bf and me went to Suntec to just shop/walk, while dad had to show face a a friend's bbq. Came back and just watched tee vee and chilled on the KING SIZED BED and perfectly soft pillows, while hiding under the perfectly weighed blanket! Gosh only ingredient missing for a perfect cuddle was CHEW! haha

Sis didnt stay in the end as she needed to pack for her trip to Japan tonight! so only mum and me was left, she slept about 12 but i channel surfed and edited photos of the day until about 2 when my eye lids weighed down on me. ZZZZZ

Loved the family outing. Shall arrange another one to the SMASHED CHICKEN PLACE when sis gets home :D
