Last weekend

passes so very fast.

.

.
On Saturday, we woke up to find ourselves dilly dallying around the house until almost past 10am before stepping off for a late breakfast at Bukit Purmei estate.
.
The family had a vegetarian brunch before heading to the nearby temples to offer our prayers. Shortly, we went home as Mummy was expecting her ole' classmate to our place in the early afternoon.
.
By 4pm, I was put to my afternoon nap after the adults had their chat and that nap lasted me until half past 6pm. When I woke up, I was told that I'll be going over to my grandparent's place to stay for the night while Daddy and Mummy has a Saturday night date.....hehehe......Yay, which means I get to play with my favorite Peggy 姑姑(Gor Gor)!
.
.
Sunday morning started pretty early as I was woken up by the chipping birds outside Peggy Gor Gor's room. Mummy and Daddy arrived at 11am with Grandma as they had met up for their breakfast earlier.
.
Daddy and 姑丈were both summoned to Gong Gong's place to help out with some packing as Gong Gong's place is expected to undergo upgrading works in Early September. Apparently Gong Gong cannot handle those heavy items without the help of Daddy and 姑丈 hence both our strong guys were deployed to help out.
.

.
After some chit chats, we left Gong Gong's place as the sky is looming darker. We went straight home to while away the afternoon with me doodling on pieces of paper.
.
By 2pm, I was put to my afternoon nap again before waking at 5pm to help Daddy set up a single bed in my bedroom. Cleaning work started shortly after we're done with the bed setup and lasted until 7.30pm. After dinner, Uncle Phil and Aunty Janet dropped by our place to visit and for an in-house movie screening that entertained all of us until 10pm.
.
The next moment after we bade goodnight to Uncle Phil and Aunty Janet, the lights were off and everything else darkened. The family were zzzzzzzzzzz....................

Theatrics

started our day this morning.

.

We brought dear son to the DBS Arts Centre, home of the Singapore Repertory Theatre at Robertson Quay to catch the 1st showtime of "The Boy who cried Wolf" at 10am.

.

.
Daddy had the privilege to bring his dear son into the theatre for the show while Mummy settled herself to a magazine waiting for the father and son at UE Square.
.

Based on the classic fairy tale by Aesop, a boy named Pete is bored, not much fun to sit on a little rock,on a little hill, watching little flocks of sheep all day long. Hence, little Pete decides to hatch the perfect plan to have some fun and scare his fellow villagers. Little does poor Pete know that a very tiny lie can lead to a whole lot of trouble.

.

This play actually allows all parents to bring home a familiar lesson in a fun and accessible way. It is heart-warming illustration of why it’s important to tell the truth, and how one lie can make a world of difference. We personally felt that it is especially good material for our child and we're glad he totally enjoyed the play.
.
.
After we dismissed ourselves from UE Square, we headed home for dear son to take his afternoon nap and planned for dinner out with Pauline and Josh - our dear neighbor.
.
At 5plus, we took the bus services to Anchorpoint. Over there, the boys were roaming around happily enjoying each other's company, treated to car rides and the parents even invested in a few educational books for the boys.
.

.
By dinner-time, we decided on the Hong Kong Cafe for some cantonese-style treats. Both the children had a good appetite during dinner-time while the adults enjoyed their food and especially the sinful dessert treats.
.
We departed Anchorpoint for home by 8.45pm. Not long, the family settled down in order to be ready for work after a long enjoyable weekend.
.

Happy 44th Birthday Singapore!

How time flies indeed and we're celebrating our motherland's 44th Birthday today.

.

.

Both Master and Mistress ANG started their day before 9am despite having returned home at 3am earlier (it's Mistress ANG havin' an ole' classmates gathering at her girlfriend's abode in Seng Kang hence needless to say Master ANG went along for the fun while their dear son was cared by his grandparents).

.

Housekeeping was first agenda to jump-start Mistress ANG's Sunday while Master ANG brought his bird out to 'socialize', followed by picking his dear boy back home.

.
Since it's a public holiday, the family decided not to cook for lunch and with the late breakfast each individual had on their own, it was deemed good enough for everyone to miss lunch.

.

Geared with a bottle of milk, the family tucked the dear boy to his afternoon nap. By 5.30pm, we made our way out to Uncle Phil's place for dinner while we're entertained by the TV's "LIVE" telecast of the National Day parade.
.

.

We were further entertained into the evening with Jackie Chan's action movie "SHINJUKU INCIDENT" and another horror film while dear son self-entertained with some toys on hand, occasionally peeking at the TV.

.
Nearing midnight, we bade Uncle Phil and his family our gratitude for the dinner and left for home sweet home.
.
Reaching home, we settled dear son to bed and continued watching another movie until into the wee hour before settling into our dreamland while we know the next morning's outing will be interesting!
