It's the long weekend, FINALLY! And Bria, C and I had a very exciting day today. In the morning, my in laws came to pick us up to go to Marina Mandarin Hotel where my mom in law had booked a free stay in one of the rooms. After hanging around in the room for about an hour or so, C and I pushed Bria in her pram to meet my family at Shaw House for tim sum lunch. We got lost along the way, cause of the stupid fencing that had been erected for the upcoming F1 race. It's actually a very short distance from the hotel to Shaw House, but because of the stupid fencing, we couldn't cross the traffic lights, and had to walk one big round via the underpass. And for some reason, I couldn't find a single Singaporean along the way to ask for directions to Shaw House. Everywhere I went, i see either Banglahs, China men, Thai or Filipinos. Sigh.. C and I had to carry Bria and her super heavy pram up and down stairs and escalators before we finally reached the restaurant!
My dad, mom, sis, bro in law and my two nieces were all at the restaurant. By the time we reached, Bria had fallen asleep, exhausted from all the pram pushing.. It's been a long long time my whole family gathered together for a meal outside. Too bad K wasn't there, otherwise it would have been "full attendance".. = )
After a sumptuous meal, we walked over to Suntec and Marina Square to do some shopping. It was raining by the time we stepped out of the restaurant, and that's when the chaos started. Between us, we had 1 wheelchair and 2 prams. So we were like holding umbrellas and pushing the 3 "cars" in the rain. So funny..
After about 2 hours, my mom in law called and asked me where I was. I think she got bored idling in the hotel without Bria. In the end, she met up with me and my family at this baby clothes store, where my mom bought Bria a pair of pink floral shoes. Then we parted ways, with me following my mom in law back to the hotel.
K's 2 aunties came shortly after, and the whole gang went to the pool for a swim and gym to exercise. My mom in law brought Bria swimming with her new float, despite a slight drizzle. I hope Bria won't fall sick tomorrow!
After swimming, we hung around the room for a bit before walking over to Suntec to meet my family again for dinner at Soup restaurant. Again, Bria fell asleep from all the pram pushing. After dinner, the whole family went to see the Kois at the Koi Garden, and some hamsters and rabbits at the pet shop, before heading home. I think my dad is super happy today, cause all his grandchildren is out shopping with him. Well, I must say it's really nice. We should do this more often.. = )
