A Visit to the MPH Book Sale at the Singapore Expo

Dearest Skyler,

We stayed at home most of the day. In the evening, we took a drive down to the Singapore Expo as MPH was having a book sale there.

Thank God we managed to get a parking lot fairly quickly; it was very very crowded. We were actually feeling quite hungry when we got there but you were fairly restless and refused to sit still while we tried to decide what to eat so we decided to browse through the books first.

The book sale was actually quite well attended; there were lots of people in the hall browsing the books or just sitting around flipping through mountains of books that they had picked up. We then decided that as one of us had to watch you, Mama would browse through the books while Papa kept you company. You were so cute! You walked around and whenever a book caught your fancy, you would pick it up and carry it around with you. However, you would then just leave it on the floor somewhere and Papa had to pick it up and put it somewhere more acceptable! :P

As MPH had only booked half the hall space, the other half was actually empty and sort of cordoned off. However, that totally meant nothing to you as you simply just walked under the cordon tapes into the empty space. As it was literally empty space, Papa allowed you to walk there; in fact, Papa had to follow you in! :P

One of the young boys who had also gone into that space made Papa very furious! The whole place was very very empty but that boy came and pushed you while he was running past. Thankfully Papa was just half a step behind you so Papa managed to grab unto you before you fell onto the floor. That boy must have deliberately done it as there was absolutely no need for him to be anywhere near you as, once again, that space was totally and completely empty! Papa was so extremely displeased with that boy’s behaviour. Papa simply cannot understand why boys like that are like that! And why his parent(s) were not keeping an eye on him. Papa didn’t see any adult near that boy at all!

Darling, you must never behave so uncivilly, okay? That kind of behaviour is very uncouth and uncalled for. And if you do accidentally knock into someone you must always apologise and make sure that they are okay.

After we had paid for our purchases, we went to look for food. However, you were still very restless and after eating just a few mouthfuls of food, we had to take turns to bring you for walks. Skyler, Papa and Mama can’t wait to have full meals together regularly again. :P

Before we left, we bumped into Uncle Alex. Uncle Alex is a very old friend of Papa’s from Papa’s Pre-University days. Uncle Alex was Papa’s best man at Papa’s and Mama’s wedding! Papa hadn’t seen him for so long! However, he is one of Papa’s closest friends.

We came home after that as it was getting late already.

We hope that you enjoy the books, Lil One! We got you a Blue’s Clues rhyme book! :D

Papa and Mama
