Random Long Weekend

Zoe's school was off on Friday (Childcare centers can have up to 6 days a year off) so we had to take childcare leave and a long weekend!

Since it was Friday and a working day, we decided to check out the usually crowded newly opened nex shopping mall. Reached there at 10am and it was fairly empty... of course, not many shops were opened for business yet!

We went to Isetan and there was a nice Thomas the train display that Zoe was interested in...
With so many toys around... we obviously have to buy a toy for her... there is Raspberry Torte (one of Strawberry Shortcake's friends) that we bought. This was followed by lunch at Ding Tai Feng once they opened at 11am to beat the crowd!

The mall has this promotion where you spend more than $30, you can visit Pooh land or do a meet and greet with the performers. Only kids were allowed in though... but they made an exception for Zoe...So there were activities like sticking stuff onto a photo frame, toss balls into honey pot, take a photo in a Pooh costume, etc. Unfortunately, saw a couple of unpleasant incidents regarding parents:

Parent 1: Why this girl (Zoe) parent is allowed in but you tell me I cannot come in?

Parent 2: Why you made me spend $30 for nothing. Now you tell me I need to wait another 1 hour! (the Pooh land entrance is every 2 hours i.e. 11am, 1pm, 3pm, etc)



Anyway, today we had a farewell for one of Shimin's ex-STB colleagues (Indra) who is going to US. Location is at Truffs... a shop that sells excellent chocolate truffles and cakes (with a price to match)... owned by one of the ex-STB colleagues as well.

Zoe decided to model with one of the fire hydrants along Amoy street while taking a break from the party!

There were a number of kids as well... and this is a cute pic with Cheyenne who is slightly older than her (around 2-3 months). Move closer girls!
