“A journey is best measured in friends, rather than miles.” – Tim Cahill

Tiba-tiba bila sampai di Imigresen Malaysia, suami aku dan suami Wahida menjadi pantas, mungkin terkesan dengan manusia sekeliling yang terpaksa berlari-lari bimbang kena tinggal bas lompat. Rasa macam Amazing Race. And it got me thinking, kalau Amazing Race, susahnya sebab ada babies! Wahida kata, “Kalau baby poop, dah habis buang masa!” Aku kata balik, “Senang nak sabotaj team lawan. Feed mangoes to their babies!”

Ya, percutian di Singapura kali ini seperti Amazing Race. Personally, I prefer laid back, bawa kereta sendiri, free and easy kind of holiday. But any holiday is good holiday so yeah, thank you Allah, for the two days of fun in the rain.

Ya, fun in the rain sebab dari pergi hinggalah pulang, langit menangis T____T

Universal Studios Singapore (yes Ayinku sayang, that’s what USS stands for) in one word: SUPER COOL! Wait that’s two words. OK make it: SUPERCOOL! Ngeh. But too bad it rained almost the whole time we were there. Sangat sukar. Industri raincoats dan payung di USS untung besar pada hari itu. Yes, they sell raincoats for SGD2 per piece and payung besar berharga SGD26.90.

Ada lah beberapa ketika langit decided to take a break from all the crying and sniffing and what not; so the husbands dapatlah naik a couple of rides. Pathetic lah, datang bayar mahal but didn’t get to fully explore and enjoy USS. Tapi nak kata apa, hujan kan rahmat Tuhan T____T

But it is not Muslim/baby-friendly. Mungkin aku yang tak jumpa the prayer and baby room, so feel free to correct me if I’m wrong tau, but as far as I know, there is no proper musalla with proper ablution area and no proper baby room; only changing tables in every single toilets, so tell me, where am I supposed to breastfeed my baby? Pfftt. Jusco Bukit Indah – 1. USS – 0.

Hey what’s with the negative reviews?! You wanna get yourself sued, is it? Ngeee. Layan gambar jom! (So yeah, this is gonna be a long one. When is my entry ever pendek? Heh)

Group photos secara skema tentulah wajib. In case you're wondering, yes, that's Nash Lefthanded in the middle. He was our tourist guide/penghibur for the day, courtesy of the travel agency. He's such a good sport, I must say. And very nice, too.

Family photo sebelah kiri: Hazri kejam terhadap Hadi. Sebelah kanan: Selepas Hazri tiba-tiba tersedar, “Eh aku amek gambar tadi include Hadi tak?” Kah kah.

The little one was pretty excited. Crowd excites him.
[The little one was wearing (Kah kah bajet fashion blog?): Children's Place]

The little ones; Wahida's Little Darling and my Little Rascal.

Papa Hadi dan Ibu Khayra. Ketika ini cuaca baik. Langit masih gembira.

The little one and his excited Mama.

Look who's excited to see Shrek!

Then we ran into Kip and his wife! Small world!

The baby pooped while we were enjoying Shrek 4D then he jerit-jerit, asking me to change him so I had to keluar earlier to avoid disturbing others. Oh I sat beside Nora Danish and her entourage. She’s too adorable OK, she made me feel so tua, gemuk dan kusam)

Happy baby. Lepas dah changed, he decided to poop again while we were having our lunch at Friar’s. Pfftt. Lawas sangat sebab makan mangoes the day before. My bad. Memang kalahlah kalau that was a race. Friar’s is HALAL by the way.

[The little one was wearing: Children's Place (Top) and Guess (Pants).

USS was fun and could have been funner had it not rain. Gotta come again no matter what. Later that night, they were supposed to bring us to the Night Safari but when we got there, it rained pretty heavily. Sigh. Jadi tak digalakkan melawat binatang sebab binatang tidur. Atau mengawan. Ngeh. So we had some Ben & Jerry's icecream and went back to the hotel. The boys went out to Clark Quay and what not. The girls, wih sleepy babies in tow, had to stay in T____T

Now to the second day! (Yes, the day Makcik First came into our lives) Started with breakfast in Geylang. And yes, it too was a rainy day. Sedih betullah langit!

Hadi was clearly in love with Wahida.
[The little one was wearing: Ralph Lauren]

Kami tak dapat naik sebab hujan lebat.

Juga tak dapat naik sebab hujan dan angin kencang T____T

Check out our little ones! Ehem. Behave yourself, son!

Makcik First then brought us to Vivo City mall, but I didn't buy anything because I thought we were going to go to Orchard later tapi masa tak cukup dan hujan buat semua orang penat, so Orchard plan was cancelled. Selamat duit aku. Kemudian tentulah buat lawatan wajib ke Merlion Park dan ambil gambar-gambar klise yang wajib. Kih kih.

Salah satu gambar klise wajib. Yes the baby decided to sleep. Lenguh aku.

At Geylang. After solat and had our lunch of the famous Singapore murtabak and briyani at the Arab Street. Foods were good! Nyam nyam I'm so hungry now.

Baiklah sudah malas. Biasalah memang suka end entry abruptly bila dah malas. This entry took me quite sometime to draft sebab banyak interval seperti bayi poop, bayi mahu menyusu, bayi mahu tidur, keluarkan bahan masakan dari fridge, sidai baju dan pelbagai lagi. Pheww lega dah siap (lega kenapa? OCD tak habis-habis) Ia memang percutian penuh hujan. Tapi juga gembira. So yeah, I'm gonna use Hadi's face to sum it up in one big fat grin:
