Rango

J's first movie as part of a GV event:

I'm glad I chose the seats whereby his stroller could be parked beside me (since he likes to be inside it). So I managed to keep him seated for about half the movie by constantly giving him snacks. Even so, law of diminishing marginal return kicks in and I find him constantly fidgeting but we managed to stay inside the cinema. I saw how other kids kicked up a fuss and I'm glad we caught most of the movie! But, I am not planning to head to the movies with J that quickly :D

Hello from Riders' Cafe and MBS

Hello Mama Merlion!

When I first heard about The Merlion Hotel (as part of Singapore Biennale) , it did cross my mind to book a night's stay but I figured it would be difficult for J to join us since he's a bad sleeper and we would not enjoy it as much without him.

In any case, today's main outing with J is to the exhibit so he can "complete" his schema of Merlions (since he had seen the Sentosa version previously) and be up close with the national icon. He's taking a short nap now and I am finishing off some work (hate to do this on an offday) before we pick G from work later this evening ;)

To the mall

We had lunch with M and my mum at DTF in Raffles City. M is probably a bit more attuned to the fussy side of J since he's not as angelic as when we had dim sum at Bosses 2 weeks ago. Anyhow, it was fun to bring J to Robinsons where a promoter was playing with a remote car and he could not take his eyes off the car... even after I pushed his stroller away, he kept turning back for a last glance. Mental note for myself to avoid such places when J's older and may brawl for me to buy the toys. Better interest him in the open (free) spaces :P

Offday!

To spend more time with J and to clear my leave days regularly, I am now working 4 days each week. As relaxing as it sounds, the amount of work has not changed! But, I get to take J out and avoid the weekend crowds ;)

Today we had lunch with G and visited my grandfather with my sister. J also sat for a long stretch (more than 1 hour!) on his bumbo and screamed his lungs out while playin :D

J mesmerised by restaurant lighting

Flying J

AAHHHH!
