Adults corner: Hubs managed to grabbed some metal shelves and we set up our drinks corner.

Next to doorway: Kitchen is too small to put coffee machine, so we set it up next to Main entrance door and dining table. Great way to have our caffeine fix before we go to work every morning.

Entry doorway: Brought a painting from my room and hanged it here. At least there's something nice to see when I reach or leave home.

Common bath: Installed a pendant light for more light in the bathroom. Spruce it up with a potted plant.

Yard: Kitchen too small, had to put our wine fridge here. No problem at all. Now it is a great "shelf" to house my microwave and eggs. Hubs bought clothes pole too. Heavy duty and super easy to install. Now we can dry our clothes easily.

Main Entrance: Here's how we arrange and organise our stuff. Cubby for the kids school bags, easy retrieval. Next is coffee station, printer and school miscellaneous stuff. At the end of the storage rack is our drinks corner, next to 2 seater sofa.

Shoe and what-nots' corner: Some ikea shelves which we brought from our storhub. I added a curtain to hide the things behind. Kids' sleeping area (bunk bed) with make shift wardrobe. Yup, now we live from a suitcase style. That's all the clothes that my three kids have, put together.

After 2 weeks of settling into Signature Park, curtains installed, now the living room is the kids' room. Spacious enough for bunk bed for three, study table with 3 chairs, bookshelves and even room to play on the floor.

Study table from in-laws, brought from Yishun to Taman Serasi and now to Signature Park.

Dressing table: missed the one that I had at Balestier. Bought a totally new piece from IKEA. Now I feel so happy with my own space, a little mirror and my stack of perfumes.

Signature Park | Moving In

Today, we shifted out of Taman Serasi and shifted into Signature Park. So much mixed feelings of excitement and feelings of left behinds. It's amazing how we managed to decide and move all in a weeks' time. My recollection was hubs confirmed with me to shift on which weekends of June since it is the school holidays and I was telling him about when we were not in Singapore and it all happened during that car drive conversations.

Sun: Fix the lease contract. Inform MCST on minor renovation works. Apply carpark permit. Book movers. Organise the Contractor, aircon man, painter, electrician. 

Mon-Tue: Aircon man will come and fix new aircon units

Wed: Ceiling fan installation and electrician coming to install all new light fixtures for the kitchen and bathrooms.

Thu: Painting the entire apartment.

Fri: Shifting in.

Signature Park | Jade

 

only when you shift house, then you realised that you have double of everything. Here's Jade with her pink flamingo umbrella and a hello kitty umbrella.

It was a wonderful experience and stay at Baobab Safari Resort. I truly enjoyed Breakfast with Giraffes. The Prigen zoo was so huge that we didn't cover all grounds like the water theme park. But it was ok for us since the resort has its own pool and we managed to get a lazy morning just by the pool and there were hardly anyone using it. My guess is that most people had gone to visit the Zoo.

Lunch at the airport. We had mee bakso, the usual local noodles here.

Flight was delayed for more than 4 hours so we had a free meal. But the waiting at the airport was seriously boring since it was a small airport, there was literally no shops to visit.

Surabaya | Day 3 at Baobab Safari Resort

 

Breakfast at the hotel. Folks who stay here gets up really early! Do get down early if you want seats by the pool.

There are several animals which you can get to pet and take photos with. For starts, there's the parrot that talks and says "hello!" Both Jules and James had a go at having the parrot perched on their arm.

Next to parrot, there is the friendly huskie!

There's also the crocodile!!

There's also meerkat feeding for a small fee.

There are also hippos, rhinoceros and large birds on the grounds.

After morning's meet and greet session with the Savannah animals, we went swimming!

The pool facings the giraffes, zebras and look-alike deers (wildebeest).

that's me getting real close to the zebras!

That afternoon was spent lazing at the pool. Was so nice.

After the late morning swim, we had a late lunch.

Do bring some cards or games to play if you are planning to stay here for more than 2 days!
