Hello Son,
Sat, February 10
1st day of CNY
Today is the first day of Chinese New Year.
We wore red.
Again.
We exchanged angpows and presented
CNY gifts consisting of sweet roasted meat
(bak kua), abalone noodles and oranges.
Pause.
Now where are the photos?
None in the photo gallery.
Oh bother.
In the midst of excitement, and squeals
of delight, we forgot to take photos here.
Dismay.
Grim.
Bleak.
Get over it.
We went for dim sum at about 10 am.
The outdoor theme park will be opened
at 11 am. Yup, today we will be spending
time outdoors.
dumplings in chili oil 
Absolutely delicious! 
10:37 am : Dim Sum with family 
We had a nice private room.
At the outdoor theme park.
We went on most rides.
We spent the whole day at there
till about 6:30 pm.
Mom is looking all confident here
because this is a non-scary ride.
Like a teacup spin.
Dad on front row (in red). Mom back row (red).
Scary ride this one.
Justine was laughing at how Mom
was clinging on to Dylan (front seat)
whilst Dad was like smiling breezing away
(in photo below).

| Mom was the only one with showers ... |
 |
| of blessings squirted heavily all over her. |
 | |
| No one could stop laughing. |
 |
| Misty. Foggy. Cold. |
Exhibition on Bruce Lee.
Mom has always been fascinated
with the life of Bruce Lee
and what he stood for.
Be.
Like.
Water.
Hot Pot Dinner.
After a heavy and very filling dinner,
Dad, Mom and Justine
drove down to
Geo Resort Hotel
(near the premium outlets).
10:37 pm
Room 510
That's a clear Number 4.
Everywhere we are, there you'll be.
What a nice and clean room.
Sunday, February 11
2nd day of CNY
Dad and Mom were at the pool by 9 am.
Heated pool.
Gorgeous.
Fantastic.
Absolutely incredible.
Justine was catching on her sleep,
and only joined your parents
about an hour later.
 |
| Dad brought his own charcuterie. Grin. |
 |
| The charcuterie items are in the red basket. |
 |
| The pool is amazing and beyond our expectation. |
 |
| We must visit again for our next staycation. |
After we checked out at 12 noon,
we went to the outlets,
which was about 5 minutes away
by car.
A gigantic 2024 greeted us.
Smile.

All You.

| Godiva. |
We did some shopping until about 6 pm.
Later, after hours of walking,
we went to Starbucks for a drink
before leaving for home.
Dad finished his drink and went
to the washroom.
Mom told Dad, that Justine and Mom
will visit the HOTEL bathroom
on the way back. Much cleaner.
So Justine and Mom were finishing up
our drink. Just as we were about to
leave, the song
Hello from the other side ...
came on.
OMG.
Seriously.
Had we all gone to the washrooms,
Mom would have missed the greeting.
Mom told Justine,
"When we started the journey,
this song came on in the car ... and now
we are going back, the song comes on again ...
What are the chances?"
The first song and the last song
that we hear on our CNY trip.
Unbelievable.
You are there in the beginning
and in the end.
With us.
That's the message that Mom got
from that ZAP.
You really do know how to make your
presence felt, Daniel. First song
that came on in the car
when we started our CNY holiday
(Thursday 8th)
and the last day of our holiday
(Sunday 11th).
Seriously, what are the chances???
You must have whispered to Mom,
"Hotel Washroom, Ma ..."
because Mom found herself telling
Dad that Justine and her
will go to the washroom at the hotel.
Indeed ...
Mom was so meant to hear the song.
Hello from the other side ...
Hello from our side too, Daniel.
Kiss.
Hugs.
Squeeze.
Have a fireworks of a time
up there with
JESUS and MAMA MARY.
The hotel washroom.
Can you blame Mom for wanting
to use this luxury washroom?
Grin.
Truly Son, be with us every step of the way.
Muahhh.
xoxo
Mom
