Happy Birthday Kor-kor Yu Ping!

Dearest Skyler,

Mama had gone to meet up with Uncle Daniel T this afternoon so Papa and you went down to the Point to spend some time with each other.

Papa and you bought some more diapers as the supermarket was having a sale on the type you wear. Papa then brought you to the library to walk around. You had so much fun at the pond area that you didn’t go anywhere else in the library. After some time, Papa brought you to the McDonald’s to have a big cup of Milo and an apple pie.

We then went down to meet Mama at United Square. We walked around the Popular Bookstore as we were looking for something to get for your Cousin Yu Ping’s 2nd birthday. We were going to drop by their chalet later that night to hand the present over as we couldn’t make it over the weekend. You had such a grand time playing with the stationery in the store. You picked up a couple of pens and started drumming with them. You also picked up other stuff and walked around with them. :D We had to keep on reminding you to put the stuff back in their proper places. :p

We had dinner at Swensen’s. As we still had vouchers, we used one to pay for the dinner. You were a naughty girl during dinner. You kept on throwing things on the floor even when Papa and Mama kept on telling you not to. We are not happy with this, Lil’ One. You will learn to stop doing this. It is dangerous as you could hurt someone. And the things you throw could break or get spoiled as well! The kor-kor who waited on us was very nice to you. After dinner, he got a balloon for you.

We then picked up a few vegetarian nonya dumplings (they’re Mama’s favrouite) on the way to our car.

We then drove over to the chalet at Pasir Ris. At the chalet, Uncle Damin took out a few sparklers for you to play with. But as you’re still too young, we didn’t let you touch them. The adults played with them instead and you just watched. :P Uncle Damin also took out luminous light sticks for you and your cousin Kor-kor Yu Ping to play with. Dai-bat-gong also joined in the fun by helping you to roll them on the ground. You were so fascinated by that! :D We took a walk to the swimming pool and the beach side for a while and hung out there while you and kor-kor played with the light sticks with Dai-bat-gong. They were all very hospitable. They kept on inviting us back again the next day and even Sunday to make use of the facilities. :D However, we couldn’t promise to go back as we had a busy weekend planned. :(

When it got a bit late, we decided to head home. However, you were still so awake and we were hungry as we didn’t have much for dinner so we decided to heat up our dumplings for supper. We invited Uncle James to join us as he’d attended a meeting in the evening and he had only gotten home about then.

He came over to our place for a while to have it and we chatted a bit before he went home and we put you to bed.

Papa and Mama love you, Lil’ One!
