Singkapoh Day 2 - Shop, Shop, Bloody Nose

 Good morning Singkapoh! View from our room window.


At the Scape, behind the hotel. 
Best breakfast combo: McD and iPad

The girls had Toastbox famous Kaya toast.

Aaaaahhhh.... Heaven on earth! Finally we are here at Smiggle shop.
After months of oggling at the products online. 

Best shop ever! Everything (pink) that Adik ever wanted.


The damage.

The shopping excitement (or over digging) gone into Abang's nose. 
It was bleeding so much we had to stop for a while. Adik still couldn't
the smirk off her face... the Smiggle effect.

Eeeek!

It looked like some part of Abang's brain came out through 
his nose as well.

Off to lunch with something that looks similar but a lot less eeeky... 
the super yummy tulang at Beach Road.


Just leave me alone to play with my (pink) iPad.

Checking out her purchase...

It's not a real book... it's actually a safe-box.

Love....

Adik, picture ruiner!


Dinner at Paragon Big O Cafe.

Pizza Magherita. Gone in a blink of an eye.

Pizza number 2 - gone in 2 blinks.

Good night Singkapoh! Tomorrow we are off to Universal Studios!

Road Trip to Singapore


Car gave us a little trouble... decided to stop by Melaka town 
for Chicken Rice Ball. Lunch was yummy. Car trouble set us back at least 3 hours.  

Arrived JB (Adik thought JB stands for Justin Bieber!) 
One of the police stations that Atok used to hang out.


The jetty that daddy used to take boat rides with the family.

Daddy's old school - JB English College

Road behind the palace heading to Daddy's old home. 
He often rode bicycle in the dark on this lane.

Back gate of the palace, directly opposite of the old JB house. 

The old house - standing tall, proud and empty? 

Surrounded by nice houses at the back and on the side.


The house lot number. Think daddy said it used to be no. 1095.

Heading into Singkapoh! At the immigration. We are sure that we've entered another country  
as soon as we see all sign boards in English.

Finally, almost 10 hours ride - we arrived at our hotel. 
Small but enough for us :)


Not even half an hour after we've settled in - we left for our first 'food hunt' in 
Singapore. East Coast Park Seafood.

The plan was to feed the kids with junk and then Mummy and Daddy 
can have a nice time savouring Chilli Crabs!

Ate at No Signboard restaurant - overlooking a waterfront. Nice, very windy.
We ate while the kids ran about on the field and 'seaside'.

Yummy crabs, crispy sotong, bread and vege. 

Daddy thought the crabs were super-fresh.

Walking back to our car. 

Hotel nowadays so canggih, greet you on the TV screen. 

Adik loved the bathtub - soaking herself in it every morning and night.

Zzzzz.... Tomorrow, shopping day!

Day Out at Ulu Yam With Cousins

Daddy's girl

Auntie Choon Fei, snacking immediately after a Nasi Lemak breakfast. 
Tsk, tsk,... no good :)

Blow, daddy blow... err, never mind.


Nice view from our little patio.


The sand diggers... 

Grand Auntie Meng... what are you doing there?


Wah, sempat pun pose seketika, in the middle of a conversation. 
Terror la.

The Aunties... better sleep after this. Water's too cold. 
Don't want to get sand into our flipflops. 

I like this place!


Pull!


Take a break to snack.




Adik disturbing the boys as usual.



Nothing to do, just pointing at a rubbish on the grown. 
That's why Adik is giggling.



At our favourite tom yam restaurant for lunch. So pedas but so sedap!
