It was Bukit Batok Tree Planting event. There were some tall trees laid on the ground with some gardening diggers, hoes and watering cans. Mr Murali came and give the opening speech. And while he was demonstrating to the children how the planting should be done, he playfully watered the children (with permission from the parents). The children loved the digging and watering. They will remember the day when they planted some trees in the neighbourhood. 

Next day, we joined the Bukit Batok Neighbourhood Clean-up in the morning. 

As soon as the event was over, we made our journey to VivoCity. 

In the past, there were direct bus 188R in front of our house that goes directly into Sentosa Island. But after Covid, this bus route has stopped operating. Now to go to Sentosa, the journey is slightly longer via VivoCity. 

We bought the season pass from Universal Studios Singapore. The season pass is now available again in conjunction to SG60 celebration. It is the first time for Bev to be in USS. She loved every ride and the characters in Halloween costumes made it all the more special for her. We used to bring Bray to USS when he was much younger, but after Covid and having Bev, it was abit difficult. 

We wanted to wait for Bev to be old enough for some of the rides first. Now she can even take the Transformer ride (she went twice), Shrek Enchanted roller coaster and Puss in Boots Giant Journey roller coaster. I was trying to hold her by her chest and little left hand on the ride, but she pushed my hand away. "Mommy, it's safe, see they have holder!" 

A little voice whispered inside myself "Sorry, I wanted to hold you for ME, not you!" The ride started, and the next few seconds was screams and yells from yours truly, of course. Bev was happily shouting Weeeeeeeeeeeeee~, it's fun Mommy! 

My brain was exploding 'What FUN!!" @.@ How this 4 year-old who is afraid to go down a small slide in a swimming pool is so brave to go on a roller coaster, what's the logic for this girl?   

This Mommy needs some days to recover from the overdose of thrill rides. 

We love the performance by the Glitters Trolls Hug Time. But Bev was already napping at that time. 

It is always fun to enjoy Halloween in USS. We went home very very tired that day. 

It was a nice Halloween weekend. 

On Friday night, we had the Bukit Batok Movie Night and more than 100 people mainly families sat on the basketball open court to watch "Minecraft". The children loved the movie, we had some good laughs. I brought a lot of candies to give away to the children. Immediately, I was surrounded by little hands asking for tricks-or-treats. Bev dolled up as a Doctor, while Bray was his all-time favourite Spiderman, the friendly neighbourhood spider. The way she hopped happily in the costume, amused the crowd. So Bev and Bray won the prize for Halloween costumes. At home, Bev cried because she wanted to dress up as a Doctor everyday and not remove her costume. 

That weekend, Hubs was away for business trip in Genting. It was a good trip and I guess it was kinda creepy to be walking alone in Genting, with the thick cold fog at night and with Halloween decorations. The place looked deserted since there were not much crowd on the weekday. 

A very strong law of attraction happened on that Saturday, I finally got two of my wishes came true.  

It happened so quickly and randomly. Sometimes unknown to you, the opportunity for a wish to come true presents itself and you should quickly seize the moment to grab it. If I had walked away, which I almost did, this would have been lost. It was a blessing in disguise.
