Hotel!!

One of the things that Pepe and Polly love most would be staying in hotels. Pepe loves the carpeted floors, the smell of freshly laundered sheets and towels (and that general air-con smell), and they both love the cool soft beds, the wardrobes, the television set in the room, and yes, the swimming pool. Both of them have in their few years so far had quite a few hotel stay experiences (often with Grandma and Grandpa in JB, and also during church camps), including one especially memorable one at the Fullerton itself no less, compliments of Grandma and Grandpa--"the candy woman" and "the video man" respectively (teasing nicknames given by Pepe and does little justice to the grandparents in its caricature). Now they are looking forward to another holiday, this time with the whole family. The last time I went on holiday with them was to JB when Papa was on his Beijing trip September 2010. Pepe was 5 1/2, Polly 3 and Pipa just 3 months old. These pictures that Grandpa took quite encapsulate what the girls love about such holidays. They get 'spoiled rotten'; even at the tender age of 3, Polly enjoyed her shopping trips with Grandma. For me, I'm looking forward to 3 days of no cooking. I love to cook, and it's satisfying to see the kids eating nutritionally balanced home-cooked food, but a longer break once or twice a year is always refreshing, and I'll be ready to get back to the kitchen after that. Loy wouldn't mind not having to do the washing up after dinner for two days!
