20 Oct 2021 - Covid-19 curbs extends for another month

As the daily cases of Covid-19 infections and deaths remains pretty high, the existing restrictions for dining and social gathering will be extended for another month.  This means we will not be able to eat out as a family for another month.  Sigh........

18 Oct 2021 - A day off from work

Tracy's birthday celebration continues today as both of us took a day off from work.  We had our breakfast at Opus Bar and Grill Steakhouse which is included in our Steak-cation package.  Due to all the Safe Management Measures under the current pandemic situation, we had to order from the breakfast menu and being served by the waiters instead of the usual buffet-style.

We checked out of Hilton Hotel at noon and proceeded to our next program, a fun game at Captivate Escape Room.  We were being entrusted with a task to investigate an unusual death of the smallest man in the world.  We managed to solve it within the allocated time frame but of course with some hints.  After the game, we walked over to Plaza Singapore to have some dessert and afternoon tea.

As we were away from our kids for about 24 hours, we decided to go home to see how they are doing right after our afternoon tea.  Though this is a short "vacation" for us, we both enjoyed it very much.

17 Oct 2021 - Our first Staycation without the kids!

As mentioned in my earlier post, Tracy and I went on a Steak-cation at Hilton Hotel today.  This is our first time staying out without the kids!  After checking in to our room, we went shopping along Orchard Road.  At about 6pm, we returned to Hilton Hotel and went straight to Opus Bar and Grill Steakhouse for our dinner.  This is included in our Steak-cation package which includes a one-night hotel stay, a dinner for two at Opus Steakhouse with 2 hours free-flow wine, and breakfast for two the next morning.  In addition, there is also a $20 credit which we can utilize at Opus for ordering extra items.

The package allows us to choose an item from the Sharing Cuts menu.  We selected the Wagyu Sirloin & Whole Grilled Lobster Platter from the menu and ordered a plate of Oysters, which is Tracy's favourite.

After the sumptuous dinner, we went to a nearby Starbucks Cafe and bought some cakes and coffee before returning to the room for a mini party.  This is as close an experience as going on an overseas holiday, after almost two years without travelling outside of SG.  It always feels great to stay in such a cozy room.

14 Oct 2021 - Happy BDay, Wifey!

Today is Tracy's birthday but we did not take leave to celebrate because she had an important meeting to attend.  However we do have something planned this coming weekend.  :-)

11 Oct 2021 - Sunrise

It always feels great to witness the beautiful sunrise and morning sky!

6 Oct 2021 - PSLE is finally over!

Javier took his last PSLE paper (Higher Mother Tongue) today.  This marks the final milestone of his primary school journey.  It's time to enjoy and have a well-deserved break.  Javier may have completed his exams but Jerlene's end year examination has just started.  So all the best to Jerlene!
