Gor Gor Reuben's school is closed today and Mummy and Daddy decided to take the day off to spend time with us.
We decided to check out Gardens by the Bay as we have not been there before. Many of Mummy's friends told her it is nice so thought we will go on a Monday to avoid the crowd. As Gor Gor Evan is on school holiday today, Daddy brought him along together with Nai Nai for the outing.
We bought tickets for the tram ride which brought us around the whole park in comfort. It is a very big park and especially with three kids around, Daddy and Mummy thought it was a better idea to confine everyone to the tram.
Our first stop was the Flower Dome. It is very big and cooling in there and we saw many different types of flowers and plants. I had a lot of fun running around inside the dome. Mummy had to watch over me as there are a couple of pretty rough slopes and it wouldn't be funny if i fell and bruised myself.
After the Flower Dome, we wanted to check out the Cloud Forest but unfortunately it was closed today for maintenance. We then move on to the OCBC Skyway. I like the Skyway as it brings me up very high and I can see a lot of things from the bridge that hangs in the sky. We took a lot of pictures here and spent some time looking at the tall buildings around Raffles Place. I saw Mummy and Daddy's office buildings too. Halfway through the walk on the Skyway, I fell asleep and Nai Nai had to put me back into the pram.
We had to cut short our visit to the park as there were dark clouds forming and besides it was lunch time. We headed to Chinese Swimming Club for lunch as it is usually not very crowded there during weekdays. We had a good time at the park and will probably come back again in the evening when the lights are on.
Gor Gor Reuben was at the church camp organised by ARPC for the weekend and so I get to spend the whole weekend with Mummy and Daddy. Usually it is only when Gor Gor Reuben is at his enrichment classes that I get to do this and it is usually for only a short period. Zhe Zhe Weien and Gor Gor Evan are at the same camp as well and I am looking forward to join them next time.
Mummy and Daddy decided to check out this nice place for breakfast. It is called Paul and apparently they have very nice french breakfast. Located in Taka, the restaurant was packed and we had to wait for a table. There were many families there and some brought their prams like we did. As I already had my porridge before coming here, Mummy tried to make me sleep so that Daddy and her can have a nice quiet breakfast. I decided to take a nap and leave them to enjoy their breakfast.
After spending some time walking around Taka and Wisma, Mummy and Daddy had to meet Gor Gor Reuben's teacher Ms. Jessica and Zhang Lao Shi at Pat's School for their 6 monthly PTM. Apparently Gor Gor Reuben is doing very well in school and as he is the youngest child in class, he is doing better than some of the older kids. Mummy and Daddy are very proud of him. I will following in his footstep and start school at Eton Schoolhouse first and maybe switch over to Pat's when I turn 3 years old. After the meeting, we headed to pick Gor Gor Reuben up.
Today we celebrate Diwali or as it is more commonly called, the Festival of Lights. We woke up early and Mummy and Daddy decided we should go have Mee Pok Noodles at Jalan Tua Kong. It was quite crowded there and we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food. I got to try some of the noodles and I think I like it.
After breakfast, we headed to Uncle Som and Aunty Mou's house to give them a Diwali gift. It was a box of pastry with many types of goodies in there. Apparently Aunty Mou likes sweet stuff so she was really pleased to receive it. Mummy and Kor Kor Reuben were wearing the traditional India outfit and I must they look very nice. Unfortunately Daddy and I don't have any special outfits so we just wore something as close to an Indian outfit as possible.
In the afternoon, we headed to Aunty Ivy and Uncle Derrick's house to meet up with Mummy's friends. We celebrated Aunty Ivy's birthday with a nice cake. We also had lunch there which is the usual food that everyone will bring to share. I had quite a bit of fun as there were many Zhe Zhe there, 8 to be exact with Kor Kor Reuben as the only boy. With Aunty Irene's latest addition Eleanor, there are now 9 girls in the group. Lucky Kor Kor Reuben....
