1128

28th of November. That's our wedding anniversary date. That's yesterday's date too. And yesterday was a really event-packed Friday.

It's now the school holiday, so Angie is now having her school-free period. I was originally scheduled for secretarial duties yesterday but the Minister postponed the meeting till next month, so I was let off the hook. Of course, I wasted little time in sending in my leave application.

The day started early, with a morning session at My Gym. This is the first time I've been to this kid's gym located on the topmost floor of Great World City. Mommy has brought the little one here at least on two previous ocassions. It's a nice place, with lots of space for the children to run around, climb, roll, bounce. Jae especially enjoyed and spent the most time on the trampoline. Ezra and Cherrlyn were there too. After 2 very physically engaging (for the kids and the adults too) hours in the gym, we adjourned to Kenny Rogers for lunch.

End of Round One.

Round Two commenced upon Jae waking up from her afternoon nap. We decided to leave the car back at home and to take the girl on a ride on the MRT, which is something of a treat for her. A 40-min trip later, we alighted at City Hall MRT Station and headed for Marina Square via City Link. Angie managed to pick up the OST for Cape No. 7 at HMV along the way. Dinner was at Xin Wang Hong Kong Cafe (Marina Square). I like their iced beverages served in stainless steel mugs. It was 6:20pm when we reached the stage area where a queue has already been formed. We were glad when a staff shoved a coupon into our hands as we joined the queue, indicating that the first 40 families would get a photo opportunity with the Sesame Street characters after the show.

Needless to say, Jae enjoyed the performance very much. With the advantage of age, she was certainly much more engaged this time round, compared to last year. I recorded the entire show on my videocam, so she'd be able to view the performance again and again (big yawn), like she has been doing for the 2007 show.

Absolutely exhausted by the time we finally get to rest back at home.

Absolutely enjoyed this 1128 with my two girls.


Jae prefers the batmobil to taking a ride beside Garfield.


Row, row, row your boat.


Ezra aka Speed Racer.


Now you see why Ezra is the one who'd win the race? 'cos the other two are looking the wrong way, that's why.


Mommies got a work-out too at My Gym.


These two must have found something they like at Kenny Rogers.


Doe-eyed Cherrlyn doing some pre-lunch doodling.


A superb show put up by the Sesame Street team. The show is on from 22 Nov 08 till 7 Dec 08. Go catch it if you havn't already. A sure hit with children.

Jae insisted on sitting across us on the MRT trip back home.
