March Birthdays/School Holiday cum Universal Studio Fun

It’s the month of March and it’s month of celebrations. Yes, we have many March birthdays “babies” in our families. My Mother-in-law, my eldest niece, Anders and myself.

We celebrated my birthday with a sumptuous buffet dinner at the Asian Market café located in Fairmont Singapore. Thanks to my SingTel Red Rewards point, I managed to redeem 4 complimentary meal vouchers for 2 adults and 2 children.

It was a really enjoyable dinner and after the dinner, we met up with the extended families in Sentosa Island for the Crane Dance show. It the quite electrifying to see the entire laser displays.
I had an enjoyable day on my 41st birthday.

The school had its first term break from 10 to 18 March 2012. Since we were not planning to go oversea for vacation, we decided to do a local weekend stay-cation. Once again, my MIL had kindly given us her hotel room complimentary stays for 2 nights at the Fairmont. So we were back to our nice & cozy hotel room for 16 to 18 March. We were upgraded to its Signature Room.

In celebration of school holidays and Anders 8th years old birthday, we decided to bring Anthea and Anders to the Universal Studio Theme Park on Sentosa.

On 17 March morning, we took a taxi from the Fairmont to USS and arrived around 9.45am. We joined the Q of people whom were all set for a fun day at the park. When the park opened at 10am, everyone was very excited and started to go in different direction for the different rides.

Adrian suggested we began with the Transformer ride and it was a really thrilling ride. All of us enjoyed it very much. Then we proceeded onward with the different rides – Jurassic Park, Return of Mummy, Shrek 4D show and many more.

We had a fun filled day at the day and finally left the park around 4.30pm, before leaving the place, we went for the 2nd time ride on Transformers, as requested by the children.

We went to Hotel Michael and met up with Uncle Hong Thong and families as they were also doing a local stay-cation in sentosa Resort World hotel. The children joined in the swimming fun at the Hard Rock Hotel. After an hour of water play, we went to shower and went back to the hotel room for a quick tea break.

Then we left the Sentosa island and went back to our own hotel room. The rest of the stay was simply rest and relax and we had a great family bonding time.

Anders birthday falls on 22 March and we told him to have a simple celebration with his few good friends at home. It was the right decision, they had an amazing time, talking and playing with one another. After the party, Anders said “mommy, I am very happy and glad to have the celebration at home. Next year, I also want to celebrate at home.”

Yes, it was indeed a memorable birthday’s celebration month and we had a great time together.
