It has been a long week. Grandma Lee has gone to Hong Kong for vacation so I had to take leave from work to look after Yee Sinn. It was kind of tough the first day as I had to understand her routine right from square one. But once I got the hang of it, it became more managable.

I would say that I did enjoy my time with Yee Sinn during the last 4 days. It helped too to have an understanding husband who took initiative to relief me of the babysitting so that I can have a little of my own time every evening. Yee Sinn seemed to have enjoyed herself with my company as well cos I took her out almost every day. Lucky baby isn't she?

On Thursday, Yee Sinn and I picked up hubby from school and ventured around Parkway Parade. We tried the famous Mee Siam and Mee Rebus at the foodcourt. Unfortunately, they didn't live up to our expectation in terms of quality of Food.

Friday was spent having lunch with Sofia at Junction 8. I took her there by MRT so that she could experience what public transport is all about. At this age, taking Yee Sinn out to meet my friends is relatively easy. Being her friendly self, she was able to socialise with Aunty Sofia easily.

Nothing much happened on Saturday except that we took her out to Orchard to bask in the crowd and have dinner at the Korean Stall at Meridian Hotel Foodcout. I would have shopped around longer had it not been her sleeping time. She became a little grouchy around 8 plus so we had to rush home for her shower and to put her to bed.

As for today, Yee Sinn got to meet her Papa's brisk walking friends at the roti prata stall along Cheong Chin Nam Road. They were pleased to meet and kept pesuading papa to start bringing her along for the walks. Yes, one of these days she'll be papa's best walking companion. We detoured to a nearby playgound at Grandma Chang's place. Beside meeting other children, she and papa had some quiet time bird watching.

Tomorrow will be another excursion for Yee Sinn. I will be taking her to Changi Airport to pick up Grandma Lee. I'm looking forward to bringing her to the viewing gallery to view the planes.

Though it has been tough the last few days, I would say I did enjoy every moment I had with my little girl. I'm looking forward to spending more time with her come end Nov or Dec when I'll be clearing some of my annual leave. Meanwhile, it'll be back to work on Tuesday. I hope I'm able to survive my work when I get back... Wish me luck!
