Aloha Loyang Chalet 2008

Somewhere in mid-September before Eugene went to childcare, we all went for a extended family chalet at Aloha Loyang. It was the first time we ever decided to go together on the chalet and given the very attractive rates during off-peak and the subsidised rate Michelle Yee Yee can get as a civil servant, we all went ahead to have this well-deserved bonding event.

The kids all had fun, especially at the pool and indoor (air-conditioned) children playground. The pool was fantastic as the water was always warm in the evening and it was just right outside our chalet! Kieona kept asking to go to the pool and the girls just didn't want to get back into the chalet once they all went into the playground. Well, on such hot and humid days, the air-conditioned playground was too much to miss. It's fortunate that this time of the year most of the kids in school are preparing for exams, so there really wasn't anyone in the playground except us, which was excellent given that our kids are all so young and probably will get pushed around if there were older kids.

We had barbeque on day 2 in the evening. Boy! There was just too much food. Mommy the non-BBQer volunteered to prepare the salad greens instead as I so hate the smell of BBQ in my clothes and hair. Plus, (although it sounds so bimbo I still got to say it) the smoke will probably ruin my already bad skin!

It was such an excellent idea to have this family gathering, we all though. Michelle Yee Yee said it'll be nice to have an annual one, which I kinda agree. With everyone so busy with their own schedules, it's tough getting together apart from the usual meals. Well, I'm sure the kids will be elated if they hear of another chalet coming up.

As for us the parents, Daddy and I were plain thankful that we get to spend some time away from the children while they had their naps, and we had some time to hold hands and play lovey-dovey. Check out those photos!
