Just the 2 of us today

This weekend is the big Move for Daddy's company and he went back to his office at 7 am. It's almost 11 pm and yet he has not returned.

So it was just Cheryl and me today.

We left the house at 10 am and we didn't have to rush at all. We even had some time to walk around and sit at McDonald's before we headed up to Seimpi for music class. C loves the music class and she is always asking me if it is Saturday so that she can go for music class. As usual, she was all ready.

The children sang and danced around at the start of the class and then they tried their hands on some musical instruments.

C did a much better job at playing on the keyboard today and I was rather pleased with her. At least she has shown improvement and she was able to recognise the different notes. The songs are getting a little more complicated but as long as the notes stayed with the right hand, I can coach C. The session today saw the children being exposed to the base cleft and I guess, I will have to pay as much attention as C or more so that I would not be lost.

Joshua and Cheryl doing some activities while Teacher Xiu Li was with the other children.

After the class, we went for our lunch at Hans. Cheryl was not in the mood to go home yet so she requested that we went shopping instead. I indulged her because I didn't have time to spend with her last night; had to work late, so we went shopping at Parkway Parade.

We spent an hour walking around and she decided that she was tired and wanted to go home. C was already fast asleep when we got back and although I had wanted to do some work, I couldn't as I fell fast asleep too.

At 5pm, C woke me up and told me that she wanted to go to the Playground @ Big Splash. Oh yes, I had told her earlier in the day that I would bring her down to the beach so we didn't waste time getting ready and left quickly.

C definitely loved the beach and she was very excited and was running and skipping along the way.

She even took a picture of me.

We took a stroll down the beach to where the Carnival was at. By the time we were there, most of the activities planned for the day were over but there were still a lot of people there. The place was very nicely renovated and except for the tower, nothing from the former Big Splash was recognisable.

There are many eateries there and we had our dinner at KFC; C's newfound love is chicken! Thankfully, she didn't insist on having rice else it would be a long walk back; at least 20 minutes.

C found her "hamster cage" and she wanted to go in to play. I told her that we would come with Zinnia and Yeva the next time.

We even managed to catch some very nice fireworks there as it was afterall the Grand Opening of the place. C had her fingers in her ears because of the deafening blasts but she enjoyed the firework display.

Then the both of us walked back to McDonald's. C was happily singing, dancing, skipping and running along the tracks. Both of us even had a race to see who would reach the destination first. For some parts of the journey, yes she wanted me to carry her but she was pretty cooperative and did some walking too.

C played on some kiddie machines too and she didn't want to come back although she was starting to yawn.



All that running around must have drained her out because she was asleep in 10 minutes. I am just glad that we had a great time!
