HomeBridge at Everland
In total, this is our 3rd visit to Everland since we came back to Korea in November. This time round, we had booked the Homebridge Resort (which is just next to the Rose Garden). It was great as we could simply watch the Magical Christmas Fireworks Display from the balcony of our hotel room and then slipped into the warm room when it ended.
The drawbacks of the hotel is that it doesn't come with any bed or other furniture (Korean style of hotel) nor does it has any bathtub.
Nevertheless, my darlings still love the hotel as they could see Everland thru' the balcony. The feeling is nice too to be able to see Everland first thing in the morning.
Mummy loves the decor in the lobby area. It reminds us of our tour to Tasmania last time (hee...without any babies then) which Mummy got to see snow for the first time and burning logs in the fireplace of our cabin then.
At Everland, it's a pity that there's no more Carnival Elysion performance (ie. no more chance to hug Laila and Laciun). However, my darlings were satisfied just to be able to see them on top of the float during the Parade (see picture on left). In fact, from the balcony of our room, we could actually see the hangar for the floats. So the floats would move past our balcony area which is near the side entrance for the Parade. My darlings were very excited to see the floats lining up in front of our balcony, getting ready for the Parade.
This maybe our last visit to Everland, nevertheless we will try to come to Everland for 1 more time before we leave Korea. What is life going to be without Everland?

First Snow in Korea
It was actually the first snow of the year and we were glad to be among the first few to experience it. My darlings were very excited too and tried to catch it. They were very amazed that the snowflakes "disappeared" when in contact with their hands. What a great experience.
Really thank God for this snow experience as Mummy thot that we won't be able to see snow before we leave Korea. When we were back in Daejeon (further south) , it wasn't snowing and the first snow here only came the next morning. But we had already had enough fun the previous night and preferred to snuggle warmly in our little house. Gee... winter is here.

Make the Right Decision
In additon, Mummy found that my babies are happier ever since we stopped going to the class. Tho' it maybe good to expose children to meeting people, Mummy finds it may not be so for my darlings who prefer to having Mummy to themselves and have fun together. In addition, there's plenty of opportunity for them to mingle with other people in future. Mummy realises it's important for mummies to understand their kids well and work according to the needs of their kids (rather than follow blindly what the experts said are good for children).
11 November is known as Peppero Day in Korea (it's actually a gimick by the Peppero company). Nevertheless, see how happy my darlings are, with the number of Pepperos that they have. Yummy, yummy.Monday, November 2, 2009
Mummy's birthday
My darlings love the Tom & Jerry cake (for my birthday, hee...) and are very happy to eat the cake (as usual).
Then we went to Swensen's to celebrate and for the first time, we bought a kid's meal for them. It has 2 mini-burgers which kept them delighted. Time really flies, they have grown up now.
In the evening, we went to the airport to fly back to Korea. Tho' it was sort of a last minute decision and Mummy thinks it's a right decision to return to Korea with Daddy.
Daddy should avoid carrying heavy stuff at the moment especially luggage. It would also be good for us to get away from the hot weather in Singapore. Thank God we can still catch the last glimpse of Autumn (Mummy's favourite season). Tho' it maybe expensive to travel back to Korea again as a family, it's definitely worth it to being together and have Daddy's involvement in their toddlers' years. Money spent can be earned back, but it's impossible to buy back time to be spent with the little ones. Sometimes, life is just as simple as ABC. In fact, it's these simple things in life that truly matters.
No wonder there's a saying that the older one gets, the wiser one will be. *Sigh* Mummy is really getting old.
