"Yeah! We are going to Marina Mandarin to watch the National Day fireworks!"
[pls note that Kate is still not on 'speaking terms' with her mommy and papa so all words spoken are imagined by mommy...]
Kate playing with the chandelier fountain during check in....
A pose outside our room... look at the pretty hanging decor in the air....
In the room.. this is a executive deluxe room with fireworks view....
Papa's handphone contact him to Batam telco!
A dip in the pool... Kate was shivering within 5 minutes though the sun is shining....
After fitting herself into the lower compartment of the bedside table (behind her)....
French fries for tea break.... papa seems to be on a growth spurt....
Kate was so hyped up she fell asleep.....

Cousin Charlie is in red too! Its not a good day to wear red cos your family tend to lose sight of you in the crowd. Si yee yee (4th Aunt) said there are announcements saying City Link is jammed and for pedestrians to go to Esplanade via the open road above City Link instead.
