Girl's Brigade Camp

Not sure what you did exactly, but you brought cup noodles, which you had for lunch. Unfortunately, it was a very small portion for you, so you were sooooo hungry when I picked you up. Luckily you had already showered so you could search for snacks the moment you got home.

Name tag.. and you were placed in team "Monkey"
One of the knotting skills you learnt from the camp

Busy Day of Homecooked Food

For breakfast, I cooked French toast. Topped it with strawberries, whipped cream and maple syrup:
Lunch was Evelyn's Aglio Olio (so delayed.. we have been putting it off for quite a long time)
 
For dinner, Ah Ma cooked roast pork and daddy had prepared the apple sauce and the grilled veggies:
Cleaning up was tough!! So much to wash, but it's ok. Kakak is coming back soon *grin*

A "Doggy" Assignment

You had a couple of friends over, Yuen Ting (who brought Milko) and Edlynne (who brought Angel the baby bulldog).

This is for your English assignment which was a sketch. You and your team had stayed back after school and worked on the script on Friday. The girls had lunch (shared 1 packed) before starting on your assignment.

We left the 3 of you on your own and went off to grab some water and groceries (there was water supply issue). 

By the time we came back, the acting was complete and Edlynne and her sister, Grace (and later Emannuel who also joined) got ready to go home. Yuen Ting stayed on so that she could download the file from your phone and edit the video before submitting to Ms Christina.

It was a fun day for me. I also got to play and pet the little doggies. 

More Doggy

Mei-mei went with us to pick up dishes for dinner. And of course, you spotted this Pomeranian. Had to take a picture to show to your bestie!

Like daddy, like daughter

Since daddy is away, Mei-mei slept in the room with me. Luckily this is a king sized bed and you didn't come kicking me.

Last night before going to bed:

Evelyn: Mummy, take a bit more blanket, I have enough.

It felt like deja vu. Daddy tells me this often when we go to sleep!!

Lunch Date

Mei-mei suddenly informed me last night that she wanted to attend her friend's sister's (Yuen Jia) birthday party. It was to be on Saturday.

And since Ko-ko had just a morning exam paper, I waited for you to have lunch together in Queensbay before buying the present. You were a little late, but all you needed to do when you got back was to change and we were ready to go.

What to eat? A friend mentioned a relatively new Japanese restaurant, so we headed there:
Wow! A smile!!
My lunch
I'm glad to have gotten some time to spend and chat with you. Looking forward so more dates like this *kiss*kiss*

Oh dear

Look at the two-tones on your back! It wasn't sunny, but obviously the UV is very strong today! 

On a side note, you are swimming a lot better, doing most laps to the deep end than along the shallow end. Good job, little girl.

Helpers around the house

While Kakak is away for holidays, we've all got to help out around the house. On weekends, I have an assistant to help mop the living room area. Not sure if you're having fun playing with the mop or really doing a good job, I'm still glad to get all the help I can get.

Ko-ko also helps to clean up the table especially after dinner as well as to throw out the rubbish and drag out the bin on collection days. 

Daddy also helps out with vacuuming the floor and the more manual work around the house.

As Ah Ma is home in the daytime, she'd also be the one to hang out the clothes to dry and keep them away in the evening.

A Little Break

It's been such an exhausting few weeks with work and house work.

Today we both took a break and after going to Queensbay to pick up Audrey's birthday present, we headed to the Wine Shop to pick up a bottle of wine for dinner and a quick cool beer.

Hau Swee Poh

You must have noticed Ashley Kor-kor curling her hair with her Dyson curler and requested to have your hair curled too.

Too bad by the time you walked down the stairs, it had already straightened!!

New Nyonya Restaurant

Ashley Kor-kor said that she recalls trying Mum's Nyonya and suggested that we might try another restaurant. So Ah Ma suggested this restaurant which was highly recommended by her friends. The restaurant was surprisingly full for a weeknight.
They ordered a lot of dishes. This is not all of it! 
Mei-mei took a picture of her dinner plate
My dessert.. Sago Gula Melaka
We mostly agreed that the food here was no where as good as Mum's so... we'll just strike this place off the list!

Manja

Ashley Kor-kor and Uncle Dennis are here for a week long's visit.

Here we have the little baby being carried piggy back style by Uncle Dennis to our dinner location: Campbell Street Kuey Chap.
