Been feeling so lazy about updating my blog... It has been a month since I last had an entry!

Last week was the September school holiday so hubby managed to spend quite some time with our little girl. Unfortunately, I had so much work I couldn't take leave to join in the fun.

Hubby and Yee Sinn did the using things - going to the library, going to NTUC to pick up groceries, going to bookshops, visting shopping centres as well as going to all the various playgrounds in the neighbourhood.

The September holidays were also the time for the annual Gundam Fiesta. Similar to last year, this year's fiesta was held at Campass Point in Seng Kang.

Boy, my old man and little girl went crazy just looking at all the Gundam models being exhibited. Hubby was initially a little disappointed as some of the rare model kits he was looking for were sold out. Nevertheless, he managed to purchase model that was seldom seen and he walked away being quite pleased with himself.

As for our little girl, she had a fair share of fun inserting coins after coins at the Gundam vending machine. She walked away with 2 mini model kit which she has been proudly displaying in our TV room.

We also managed to take her to a first musical - A Sesame Street Show : When Elmo Grows Up. We knew she enjoyed it cos she was relating her experience to everyone else... from Grandma Lee, Grandma Chang and all her cousins she met after.

We were glad that we paid more for the seats at the first few rows from the stage. We had a good view of the characters and even had the opportunity to shake their hands when they came off stage every now and then.

Hubby and I were quite impressed with the stage setup. The lighting and stage props were cleverly used. It was a great experience for the entire family but I don't think we'll be indulging Yee Sinn too often as such tickets are often very expensive.


We also brought our little girl to Royce Gym to expand her energy while hubby checks out the Kinokuniya bookshop. What I like about the place is the gym always re-stock their toys with newer models. We always find little surprises with every visits.

Sadly, Yee Sinn's gym membership with them will be expiring next month. We're contemplating whether to renew it (which will cost us another $50) or just let it lapse.


We ended the September vacation with a little birthday party for Grandma Lee. She turned 66 this year. Yee Sinn was so pleased with herself for "buying" Grandma Lee's strawberry shortcake birthday cake (it's actually Yee Sinn's favourite and not Grandma Lee's). The kids were rather rowdy on Sunday evening but guess kids will be kids... it's better to have a home with lots of laughter than a quiet and lonely house.
