I just love long weekends... who doesn't? I realised I've not been blogging for about 2 weeks already. I was too busy with the work and we were shifting office (again!). So now that most things have been settled, I was looking forward to the much awaited 3-days National Day break.

My national day break started much earlier... I took the afternoon off on Friday. Hubby had half day of school in the morning and we actually intended to catch Harry Potter at the cinema. Our plan didn't materialized eventually cos of the odd screening time. Instead, we went back home and took Grandma Lee and Yee Sinn out to Orchard road to chill and of course, to check out the "National Day Sale" that so many departmental stalls had.

We were at the Takashimaya toy fair and walked away with a $25 kitchen set. It's quite a good buy cos it kept Yee Sinn busy for the next few days. We also went down to OG to get some household items before calling it a day.


I managed to get the corporate Sentosa passes so we headed down to Sentosa on Saturday afternoon. This time, we were more prepared. We brought Yee Sinn arm floats, swimming costumes, sand castle set, her milk and sunblock. And my oh my.. she sure had loads of fun by the beach.

Yee Sinn liked having the waves splashing against her, though she was still somewhat careful not to venture out too much in the sea without holding on to her Papa or Mama.


Our little girl was also more comfortable playing with the sand compared to the last time we were there. She kept herself busy digging up sand and filling up the cartoon moulds for her Papa. We'll teach her how to build sand castles when she gets older.... in the meantime, we'll just let her practise digging and filling up. Hee.

Yee Sinn saw some kids at the water fountain area and she wanted to be there too. We were there for quite sometime while our girl kept "grabbing" the water with her hands or putting her foot above the water point to stop the water from flowing out. As expected, she was knocked out to slumberland the moment we put her in the car seat for home.

Sunday was the usual- At Grandma Chang's place. We decided to bring the kitchen set that we bought at the Takashimay Toy Fair to Grandma Chang's place. We actually intended to leave it there so that Yee Sinn and her cousins will have something interesting to play with during our weekly visits. However, since we'll not be visiting Grandma Chang next week, Grandma Chang insisted that we bring it home so that Yee Sinn can play with it for the next few days. Yee Sinn was pretty much occupied with her new toy most of the time. She has been "cooking" and "feeding" for almost everyone at home.

And yes, she has been role playing quite a bit too. On Monday morning, I saw her "feeding" her soft toy some food. She told us "Dog Dog eat nah nah" - Dog dog is eating banana. Hahahah. Guess my little princess is growing up pretty fast. I'm already looking forward to the next weekend.
