To the beach

Since the weather was good, we decided to bring DS to the beach for some fun..So after DS breakfast, we quickly bath him and off we went to East Coast park. We also invited SIL & family to join us too since more people = more fun. We reached there first so off we went to play the sand and water. At first, when I took off his shoes to let his little feet touch the sand, he just refused and kept asking me to put on his shoes. But we quickly let him played with the water and he enjoyed it so much that he forgotten about his shoes..

SIL and BIL came shortly and they played with DS and even tried to built a sandcastle. However, the afternoon sun is just too hot for us to continue playing and so off to Mac for lunch (along the way, I brought a float from one of the stall there and so I think I will be bringing DS for his swim soon). After lunch, DH wanted to ride bicycle but I was against it as it was way too hot. Ended up, we went to Parkway for a shopping trip but DS was so grouchy as he was already very tired.. He slept all the way from East Coast to my MIL place at AMK...

Mid-Autumn Festival

So how do we celebrate this day? We have a gathering at my sister home. Though, it was not really to celebrate this festival as this is more of a get-together, but still I always love being with my sisters and playing with my niece and nephew.

DS is also 22th mth old on 14/09/08. Very happy that he can now do that proper ‘good’ action. Last time, whenever you asked him to do the ‘Good’ sign, he will response by pointing his index finger but now he can close all his little fingers leaving only the thumbs up. Also, now when he see his papa car and you asked him “Whose car’, his answer will be “Papa’s car”… He can also pronounce “Watch” very clearly when he see it. Overall, I think his progress (motor and speech) is still ok ba..but of course, compare to some of my friends child, he still got a long way to go. However, I am happy with the pace he is now the most impt thing is that, I want him to grow up happily and have a wonderful childhood.

Trip to Chinatown

Last Saturday, after DS nap at around 4pm plus, we went down to Chinatown to see Mid Autumn Lighting at Chinatown. We walked all the way from Suntec to Chinatown as we wanted to go to Singapore River as well.. Wanted to find my fav. Restaurant near Boat Quay but couldn’t find it anymore so ended up, we have dinner at Chinatown food center. After dinner, we walked along the streets to see lighting but were surprised to see that the road was closed for ppl to take a stroll. So we took some pics and as we walked further up, we could hear some lion dance music and true enough there was lion dance performance ahead.

We wanted DS to take pics with the lion dance troupe but he was so scared (Timid boy) that he grabbed DH real tight lor… Hahaha. Anyway, we walked with the crowd towards Central Shopping Mall and from there we walked towards Clarke Quay as there is a fountain whereby DS can watch children playing there. To reward DS good behavior, we brought him Japanese Green Tea ice-cream from Marina Square which he loves it very much..After eating, its home sweet home again.

Downtown East

Woke up ard 10plus in the morning as I was super tired doing all the housework on Sat afternoon. DH then suggested that we bring DS to Pasir Ris new indoor theme park to play. So off we went but the entry fee was so ex. Decided to bring DS to downtown east instead for the mini carnival there to let DS sit on the train and merry-go-round ride. After that, we went to supermarket for grocery shopping and all this while, DS was slept peacefully in his pram.
After shopping, we went back home to put our stuff and I told DH that we should explore Seletar track as I know there are some eateries there but we have never been there. However, after some time we still couldn’t find the way but ended up at the Seletar airbase so took this opportunity to let DS see those big big airplane. After that, DH decided to explore another route and we ended up at Seletar dam for a walk.. Left the place around 5plus for PIL house.

Family Day @ Singapore Flyer

Finally, the day I have been waiting for arrive – Family Day @ Singapore Flyer. We woke up at 7plus to get ourself ready as I will be meeting my colleague at City Hall MRT at 8.45am. DS too was very co-operative except that he got a ‘blur’ look because he was never a morning person. We left the hse at 8am and reached our destination on time. But the walk from City Hall to the Flyer was quite a distance and DS simply wouldn’t want to sit inside his pram..So tired by the time we reached there.
Saw most of my colleague already there and so once we gathered, we started taking pics and at around 11am, we boarded the S’pore flyer. Though the ride was about 30mins but because I was busy taking photos, I did get to enjoy much..Hahaha.
After the ride, we went for lunch @ Popeye and the mash potatoes was yummy.. We wanted to try the fish spa also but the price was ex lor..so we went to play at games stall but sad to say..before we could played, the stalls started packing up as the carnival was only till 1pm.. Ended up, we hitch a ride from my colleague and went back around 2pm..

Library

Since I knock off early from work yesterday, decided to go to the library @ Bras Besar to borrow some books for DS and read to him. Was there for over an hour just choosing 4 story books! This is because I wanted to find books that are colourful with not so many words. After a tough time finding, I ended up with these 4 books (Wanted to borrow more but 1 card only entitle to 4 except major holidays).
1) I’ll miss you every day
2) A birthday for Cow
3) Peek-a-boo, Mama
4) Peek-a-boo, Papa.

Went back PIL home ard 7plus and after having my dinner and shower, I started to read “A birthday for Cow” to DS and he seemed to like the book. After reading the first book, we went over to SIL place again (since PIL and SIL stayed nearby) and DH niece decided she wanted to dye her hair. So we went together to a home @ Sengkang to dye our hair (I’ve got lots of white hair to cover lor) and have a haircut. Returned back to PIL place at 1am this morning and I woke up at 7am..Very tired now but also happy coz my hair is now black again :)

Nite outing

Yesterday night, we have resume our night outing once again as I wanted to pass some cakes to my auntie who helped to look after DS for about more than a year plus. Went home to have a quick shower plus to have dinner. Reached my auntie place ard 8pm plus and the Gor Gor is so happy to see DS again. The two little boys played by themselves while DH & I were chatting with my auntie. Just as we were about to leave the hse, my uncle came back and DS was also happy to see him. Let my Uncle carried him and even followed him around. Ended up, we left their hse ard 11pm as it was already past DS bedtime. Hmmm..wondering if DS can still remember them as he have not seen them for about 4mth plus? I think I should bring him more often to their place for get together
