Fun Day with 姑姑

On the day of my graduation concert, I was supposed to reach Jubilee Hall at 6 pm, so I did not need to go to school in the morning.  Since it was also 姑姑 birthday that day, she took leave and decided to spend the day with me.

So 姑姑 took me to Orchard in the morning to spend a fun day with me.  Lunch time shall be at Paragon, and my favourite Japanese food !!!

See the wonderful spread for lunch !!

And after a sumptuous lunch, it was time to do some exercise and take some photos

Wow, full of yummy chocolates !!!

And the last stop at Toys R Us .... watch me the Little Miss Spidey

After that, we went home so that I can catch my afternoon nap, before Daddy came to fetch me for my graduation concert .  Was a really fun morning that I spent with 姑姑.

Doraemon Exhibition

There was a Doraemon exhibition at West Coast Plaza ... and there was a quiz for the kids while we went around the exhibition, finding out the answers for the quiz. 

姑姑的生日

We decided to try out Korean food for 姑姑 birthday.  Went back to Kim's Korean Family restaurant at the West Coast branch.

While waiting for the rest to come, I went to touch up on the birthday card that I drew for 姑姑.

See, the final product

And the feast !!! Although the menu said the dish was not spicy, but it did have some chilli or pepper in it ... cannot trust the menu completely.

Seafood hotpot !!! Yummy !!!

Was so full from the feast, that we decided to take a walk at West Coast Plaza to aid our digestion ....

Happy Birthday 姑姑

Trip to JB - Bukit Indah

On Children's Day, Daddy and Mummy took leave to bring me out to celebrate.  So we decided to drive up to JB - Bukit Indah.  Daddy and Mummy can do stock up the Sebamed shampoo and my shower oil, while I can go and play at the indoor playground and do sand art.

Well prepared for the trip.  We took the Tuas Checkpoint because Bukit Indah is about 20 mins drive from the checkpoint. All the way using the highway, and very near Legoland.

There was a little jam at the Checkpoint, which took about 30 mins.  But after that, traffic was prety smooth, and we reached the shopping mall at around 1045 am.  So walked around to explore the shopping mall, and bought some clothings and shampoo.  Have to emphasize, 50% off the price per bottle after currency conversion ... Took a ride which cost only $0.40 !!!

We took lunch at 汤师傅 and the bill came out to be about RM90 or equivalent to S$36.  I had abalone mee sua with herbal stock, Mummy took the scallop, mushroom mui fan, while Daddy had porridge.  Then we ordered a plate of spinach, and a claypot chicken with chinese wine. Yummy ...

And after lunch, it was time for my indoor playground.  Quite a small one, with inflatable for me to bounce around.

After 30 mins of bouncing around, I went to do my sand art.  Chose a little mermaid (princess) for my sand art. See how serious I was at work.

We left JB at about 345 pm, and reached home at about 430 pm. 

Was an enjoyable Children's Day for me ....

Offsite and BBQ

Daddy went for his company's offsite on Friday, and in the afternoon, they had a teambuilding session, and that was to build a roller coaster using straws and balloon sticks.

And with good teamwork, this was the final product ...

And putting the roller coaster to a real test .... 50% success rate !!! Daddy and his team tested it many times before and the success rate was pretty high

Mummy and I joined Daddy after his offsite for a BBQ dinner along the Rasa Sentosa beach.  This was one of the way for Daddy's company to say thank you to all the families.  Heard the cost per head was $120++, but frankly speaking, if you do not drink liquor, the dinner was not worth that price.  Anyway, it was quite a nice idea to meet up with Daddy's colleagues and their families, and to have dinner with them

And in case you wonder who the little cute boy is .... he is Auntie Cheryl's son !!! Daddy managed to 'kidnap' him from his mummy and take a photo

And the Technical team .... almost everyone

Mid Autumn Festival - Central @ Clarke Quay

On Sunday evening, we decided to go to Central @ Clarke Quay to take a look at the lantern display (to compare that against the Chinese Garden exhibit).

Luckily, that evening was not as humid compared to the previous day.  Arranged to meet up with

爷爷, 奶奶 and  姑姑 there.  叔叔 went for a short getaway and not back in Singapore yet.

Took my lantern along to take photos

And as usual, every year, we will take photos against the animals. The year of Dog ....

Mummy belongs to the year of Snake

Dragon year for Daddy ... 犯太岁

Year of Tiger for 姑姑

And I quickly dragged 爷爷 and  奶奶 to the year of Rat

But the other animals were pretty well designed

Since I still have school the next day, we went home pretty early.  Conclusion : a better deal than Chinese Garden exhibit



Mid Autumn Festival - Chinese Garden

Daddy's company has some cheaper tickets to the Chinese Garden Mid Autumn Festival event, so he bought some tickets to bring 表妹 and I to celebrate the festival.  公公 went along, and we decided to give 舅舅 and 舅母 a break so that they can enjoy some couple time.

Had an early dinner at home, before we set off to Chinese Garden at 715 pm.  When we reached there, 表妹 was overwhelmed by the crowd and dazzling lights that she got uncomfortable and kept wanting to go home.  So Daddy had to carry 表妹 and pacify her, while Mummy and 公公 took me around.  After some soak time, 表妹 felt better, and agreed to take some photos with me.  We took our lanterns along

The big lantern display when we first went into Chinese Garden

Then 表妹 got a little cranky and so Daddy had to pacify her while I decided to get some more photos taken

表妹 joined me, after Daddy promised her that we will go home soon, after getting our free lantern (candle type)

The wishing tree ... need to spend $10 to buy a token to write our wishes and then throw the token up in the tree ... we decided to give that a miss, but just took photos

We went to get our candle type free lanterns, and then lit the candles.  Both 表妹 and I took one each to walk around

But as the candle in my lantern slowly burnt away, one drop of wax droped on my leg accidentally though a hole in the base of the lantern. And then I cried for a while, and refused to take the lantern anymore.  Daddy tried to get the wax off my leg, but I simply refused to let anyone touch my leg.  In the end, I took the wax off after 5 mins or so.

Then we decided our battery operated type lanterns were safer.

We went to the 7 storey pagoda.  Wanted to go up the pagoda, but it was closed.  Shall come to the garden next time before 7 pm to climb up the pagoda and look at the nice view from the top.

The paper lion lantern ... and 2 pretending-to-be-fierce lions

More photos with the lantern displays

And there were displays of dragons from different dynasty .... some fat, some really skinny ....

But the best part of the tour had to be the fun I had at the mobile theme park ... rowing a boat on water.  I played for 2 rounds

The inflatable playground.  Daddy managed to convince 表妹 to go in with me, very quickly, she regretted and wanted to get out.  Daddy managed to get her to just jump around with him holding onto her

And at 9 pm, we waited eagerly for the fireworks to go off .... nothing too fanciful about the fireworks (cannot be compared to those during the NDP), but good enough for me.  表妹 was intimidated by the loud noises, and Mummy had to bring her away from the firework display area

After the firework display, we decided to go home.  Getting out of the carpark was a nightmare ... we spent almost 30 mins before we could get out onto the main road !!!!

Overall, the trip was not really worth the ticket price.  Nothing extraordinary, and coupled with the carpark jam, think the lantern display at Central @ Clarke Quay is good enough
