At 1am on 5 May 2025, I was purchasing the tickets for KidsSTOP. The tickets were $30 for 2 Adults, 2 Children for play between 10am-1pm. Since I will be flying to S.Korea for work this coming Tue - Sun, I thought I'd like to spend a little more times with the kids to motivate myself for the upcoming long week. 

We took a bus 176 over to Blk 134 and walked about 5 minutes to the KidsSTOP.

We jumped right into the first game at the construction area with the crane and balls. We went into the Ant Hole; this was new for us. Previously it was under construction. Brayden and Hubs both tried at the height drop at the Giant Slide. Hubs was holding tight to dear life at 7m drop. He took a few minutes before letting his hands go. I did not dare to try at all. Until I was seeing how all those children below 7 going up again and again at 6m height drop. I gave it a try telling the lady lifting the rope to 5m; but before it could reach 5m I was asking her to stop and I let go. It was not too bad. I thought she was going beyond 5m and was waiting for me to say stop. As I was at the bottom, she revealed to me the actual height for me was 4m. WHAT?!?! That was nothing and a joke. I wanted to go again, trying to convince myself, at least a 5m should be the bare minimum. A boy around the age of 6 before me was going over and over again at 5m. I blushed; feeling both embarrassed and heart racing looking at the height over and over again. I told myself, "I'll just close my eyes and go for it". Before I knew it, in a few seconds, I was at a height of 5m dangling freely. No more turning back now - Let goooooooooooooo~~~ "Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!" It was like a gush of wind showering my face and my heart felt the weightlessness. O wait, probably it was just my imagination because the lady told me at 5m it isn't really that high to feel the actual drop. Ah well, I stood there pondering whether I should go higher. Nah probably next time, when my heart has not shrunk to a walnut, I'll try again then. 

We were having fun in the sand expedition and the shopping area. 3 hours passed very quickly. 

As we returned home, taking the 66 bus, we stopped by at the temple and a ice-cream shop LICKERS. The hazelnut truffle ice-cream, roasted pistachio and oolong lavender are my favourite. 

By the time we reached home was closed to 3pm, time for nap to re-energize. 

Jurong East Swimming Complex | TimeZone

It was Labour's Day Holiday! The weather was really hot and we had decided to go WestMall in the morning to get some cold air-con. After the breakfast, we dropped by the Claw Machine Shop and tried our luck; managed to get a cute furry black dog. 

In the evening, we went to Jurong East Swimming Complex; a place we had not been since Brayden was 3 years old. Again, we wanted to have a dip in the pool because it was been a very hot Hot HOT day. But as soon as we got there, there were dark clouds, and almost everyone was leaving the pool. There was a lightning alarm, so all have to be out of the pool until 5:30pm. We decided to stop by at the KFC & Pizza Hut on the 2nd floor to wait for the weather to turn. After waiting for 15 minutes, Lady Luck was shining upon us, the alarm was lifted at 5:30pm although there was a slight drizzle. 

The tickets for the featured pool for a weekend was cheap; Adult $2, Child $1. 

We quickly got changed and hopped right into the pool with our rented float. All 4 of us fitting into the float was a squeeze, we even almost got stuck. But in the end, we went in 3 at one time as we floated around and lazed about in the lazy pool. Ah, relaxing ride~~ The lazy pool had a strong current that pushed the float around a big circle. It was like an adventure in the river, and there were water splashing in certain parts of the pool. One don't really need much effort to go around. Bev and Bray loved the pool. 

After that, we headed over to the wave pool. It looked like a miniature wave on the beach. Floating on the wave pool made me little dizzy. The children loved to jump up and down as the wave swooshed in.

After 2 long hours, we were drained and came out tired. We went back to KFC for dinner again because we did not want to travel elsewhere considering it was getting really late and the kids have school the next day. 

When we got home, Bev was tugging me on my sleeves and said "Mommy, I want swimming" It was already 10 pm but she is asking for one more round. She must have not gotten enough of the swim. Well we'll sure go again!! 

On Sat, we went to TimeZone. This time, Bray and I were trying to get the tickets on the DragonBall game. On the second attempt, we had won 700 tickets. That is very hard to get, considering we will need to get the big dragonball to fall into the rotating pink hole (only one out of 6). So it was definitely good luck.
