Daddy & Mummy!
Hubby's cousin (Magdalene) booked a hotel room at The Fairmont Singapore for the 2N1D night for us to view the Fireworks Festival. As she is working in the hotel itself, she managed to reserve the room at a staff rate.
On the previous night, we were at home and Celest could only hear the loud 'booming noise' from our windows. She was scared as she thought it was thunder. I told hubby that it would be different when she saw the fireworks together.
The Day & Night View From Our Room. Pardon My Poor Photography..
In the morning, we went to Bukit Timah Food Centre for our breakfast with Simon's family. Celest woke up quite late at around 9am+. After breakfast, we went to Turf City to walk around. The 2 guys decided to do some car viewing, leaving two 2 heavily pregnant women + 2 tots some time to spare. We sat inside a cafe while waiting for them.
As we had too much time to spare & scared nowhere to go, we slowly ordered our items to prolong the time. Had drinks followed by waffle and then onion rings... Phew,the two guys came back less than our estimated time and Celest had started to show restlessness.
Celest then saw a children's corner and wanted to come down from her high-chair. We went over to the balloonist who gave Celest a flower balloon and drew pretty flowers on her right arm.
Looking Out....
We checked into the hotel around late afternoon. The room was pretty and cosy, of course with a nice view overlooking the bay area. Definitely a good place to catch the fireworks but the sky looks set to disrupt the firework.
Managed to get Celest to catch a wink so that she won't be cranky and tired later in the night. Had our dinner at the foodcourt downstairs and by then, Celest was busy running around in-between the two rooms, enjoying herself and looking at the view.
She called the Singapore Flyer 'balloon' and she doesn't seems to be afraid of heights. We were at 21st floor, Room 2135 and 2136. While waiting for the fireworks, our relatives were chatting with each other.
Some of hubby's nephews brought along their handheld games & one was gracious enough to lend it to Celest to play. It kept her occupied for a long time. Not that she know how to play the game, she was just satisfied with pressing the buttons and watching the animated screen. Don't think we will get one for her in future as it's quite addictive. We asked her 'Whose one?' She replied 'Celest's one'. Can really faint as she thinks that whatever item is in her hands, it's hers!
Later, when she finally returned back to the owner, we asked her the same question again. She replied ' Gorgor's one'. Haha
The fireworks started soon at 9pm and all eyes were on the sky. Celest wasn't afraid as what I have expected as she covered her ears only. After the event ended, most relatives began to take their leave.
As the weather has been wet these few days, I did not bring any swimming attire for Celest during the hotel stay. Decided to soak with her in the bathtub and let her enjoy the water for awhile. It was her 1st time soaking in a hotel bathtub. I was abit worried whether pregnant women can soak in 'warm' water. Will the heat make the blood circulation faster? affect the baby? Paranoid?
Anyway, thankfully nothing happen. It was so comfy soaking in it, reliving my back aches etc that I had experienced for the past few weeks. Celest too had so much fun in it that she refused to get out. Hubby got to forcibly carried her out and try to distract her.
It's been a long time since I last stayed in a hotel when hotel was my 2nd home in the past. It was almost 12midnight by the time Celest slept and after a hot soak, all felt very relaxed and slept quite well.
Morning came and surprised to see Celest waking up at nearly 10am! She must be very tired last night and most probably also due to the hot water soak. Actually, I was roused quite early by the noise that was coming from the marathon. It was sooooo loud! We had BK for breakfast and lazed around in the room till checkout in the late afternoon.
