Universal Studios

On my last weekend in Singapore, Ayn and I decided to go to the newly opened Universal Studios. I'm not actually much of a theme park person, but I really had a great time! We woke up very early to beat the long lines. I got so excited just seeing the Universal Studios globe! I'm glad we were there early as we were able to finish all the rides before lunch. By around 1PM, lines were getting long and the weather was so hot!


Since we were afraid that the food inside US was going to be expensive, we decided to have breakfast at Toast Box at the Food Republic in Vivo City. It was just beside the Sentosa Express Train.


Here's their menu. Check out the 'Anything/ Whatever' item! Haha.



I decided to get the traditional Kaya Toast with Soft Boiled Egg and Barley!


This is what the Soft Boiled Egg looks like! Soy sauce and salt & pepper are added to make it more tasty.


Here's the new signage of Sentosa. You can see it from the Express Train.


It was so exciting just to see this!


Kung Fu Panda! He was huge and was quite snuggly wuggly. Haha.


Revenge of the Mummy. This was our favorite ride! It is an indoor roller coaster with beautiful effects. We rode this like, 4 times!


Egyptians. Notice the 'hooves' of the one at the back? Cool, right? :)


Ms. Marilyn Monroe! She was so cute. She even does the shoulders thing!


Me at the Supreme Courthouse.


Rockafellas Street Boys. They really know how to dance! I'm proud to say that they are Pinoys!


Monster Rock. This was a musical featuring monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, The Mummy and so much more. It was fun!


Mel's Drive-In. We decided to have our lunch here. Our ticket consisted of a S$10 food voucher that can be used in any restaurant in US.


To maximise the voucher, we ordered the Double Cheeseburger Meal with Drinks. I topped-up S$2.00 for the Strawberry Milkshake which I didn't finish. Hehe.


The burger was okay. It was really big but I still prefer Bubba Gump's Cheeseburger.


Some signage from 'New York'. I love the vintage feel to it!


Battlestar Gallactica. Unfortunately, this was closed when we were there. It looks scary but I can't wait to ride this next time!

Overall, I had a great time! There were a lot of other rides in the park that I did not include in my entry anymore. I would definitely recommend this to everyone who wants to escape reality and just have fun! Try it out for yourself. :)

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan ...

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the ...

On Being the "Good Quality Crab"..

When I was in high school, I watched this movie entitled, “The Joy Luck Club”. I think I was with my mom and sisters when we watched it. The movie tells the story of four women who escaped their difficult lives in China, went to the US, had daughters who all seem to inherit their weaknesses and how they all were able to rise up to their shortcomings and get better. There was this part where everyone was having dinner and they were eating crab. June, who thinks her mom always compares her to the beautiful Waverly, got angry at the latter because she thinks that she is never good enough. Her mom told her that it’s not true and uses the sample of the crabs they had for dinner to emphasize. At the table, Waverly immediately gets the claw, which is the best part but June gets the smallest piece because she wants others to get the better ones. Her mom says that it’s because June has a good quality heart. It has been a running joke in our family that my eldest sister, Cla, is June because she...
