Shopping

I really don't like shopping. But it's something that Daddy and Mummy (actually it's more Mummy) like to do, so we sometimes end up at shopping malls with me feeling bored. Luckily this time I was armed with my book and a cosy corner in the shop!

I also found something to entertain Daddy and I were Mummy was still in the shops. I like Lego :) 

Long weekend

Yay, it's a long weekend because of the Hari Raya public holiday! As Daddy had to help out at the Teochew festival all day today, he had the bright idea of booking a staycation nearby in Orchard Road. Daddy always has bright ideas by the way, just that some are more bright than others :)

The lobby of the hotel (Grand Park Orchard) was really nice and comfortable. The swimming pool was awesome too, and I went swimming twice. 

 

As we were staying in the heart of Orchard Road, we took the opportunity to go gallivanting. We went to many of the new shopping malls that have sprung up in Orchard over the past few years, but to be honest, they were quite boring...

This is just outside the Teochew Festival exhibition, while Daddy was on the inside.

 

I did enjoy a nice breakfast at Toastbox though - I simply love hot Milo and runny eggs!

Rockclimbing

I'm so proud of myself! We were at Kallang Wave today and I eagerly begged Daddy and Mummy to let me scale the rock wall. I was very brave at first and couldn't wait to put on my harness and get going. I actually had quite a lot of fun on the smaller wall, although I didn't manage to reach the top. After a while, Mummy tricked me into trying the full size wall. And guess what, Mummy refused to let me down when I was midway up as she wanted me to try and reach the top. Luckily Daddy was there to save me and he begged Mummy to let me come down. Good Daddy, naughty Mummy! 

Big bubble

On our way back from the swimming pool this morning, Mummy and I stopped by a provision shop where I convinced Mummy to buy me a small pack of bubble-making gum tubes. Mummy says that she and Daddy used to play with them when they were young. Do you think I can stick my head inside the bubble?

 

Staycation at Sentosa

As this was the last weekend of the school holidays, Daddy decided to give Mummy and I both a treat by arranging for a staycation. We had a nice dinner at Sentosa Cove last night and explored the area a little. 

 

This morning, we woke up in time to have breakfast at MacDonald's before heading to Adventure Cove Waterpark at RWS. Thankfully the weather was nice, and we had great fun swimming, sliding and being tossed around by waves, hah!

Yamaha exam

After 4 years of weekly Yamaha lessons, I finally took my Yamaha examination today. The exam wasn't held where we usually have classes, and Mummy took leave to bring me to the Yamaha centre at Plaza Singapura. We didn't drive there though, but took the mrt instead.  

Before the exam, Mummy wanted to make sure that I ate enough lunch. We decided to go to Swensen's, which had a lunch promotion that gave us a free sundae when we bought a main course. Yummy, think I had a sugar high from it. 

My fun day didn't end after the exam finished. We waited at MacDonalds for Daddy to come home, and I had fun drawing and snacking. 

Thank you Mummy for taking leave today to have a fun day with me!

Mid-autumn festival

As has been our tradition the past few years, Mummy brought me downstairs this evening to play with lanterns. This year, I had painted my own lanterns (see the apples on them), as well as had made one out of recyclable materials. Daddy also joined us in the celebrations this year, and I had fun playing sparklers with him.  

Happy teachers' day

To show our appreciation to our teachers, some students put together a performance at the Teachers' Day celebrations today. I had practised very hard over the past month, and I'm glad that I had the chance to perform to thank my teachers. I had great fun too!

Present for Mummy

I was in the school bookshop today when I saw a cute teddy bear. On impulse, I decided to buy it for my Mummy. There was no special occasion, nor any special reason for me to do so. I just wanted Mummy to know that I love her! 

Family dinner

My cousins are back for their twice-a-year visit home. As it was Mei Mei Shannon's birthday, we decided to have dinner together. She was certainly very pleased with her Frozen birthday cake.
