Changi Beach

Since Shannen has been hiding in the house for many weeks, Elson had decided to bring her out to the beach for some fresh air. We went to pick up Megan & family along the way and they kids enjoyed their seats at the last row. Sharlene & family reached a while later and all the of enjoyed the swings, playground and beach.

After that, we went to Chong Seng Punngol Seafood Restaurant for dinner, but was a little disappointed with the taste of the chili and salted egg crabs.

Buffet

Actually, we planned to do some shopping this evening. Instead, Elson has craving for buffet and we went to Furama City Centre for dinner. The spread of the food were average but I personally like the desserts they served.

Buffet

Elson just signed up a new credit card and they(the bank) had given him some vouchers for dinning. Which means..... we will be eating and eating for the next few months (before I give birth to Sara). We went to Changi Village Hotel for our buffet dinner today. I will surely recommend it to any of my friends cos the foods was above average. It's more to a Chinese buffet with serving of 3 different ways of cooking the crabs. Their cakes were very delicious too. Especially the strawberry cheese cake. Love them!

Craving

Been having craving of drinking the lobster soup from Jack's Place for a few days. Got Mummy & Huiting to company us (me & Shannen) for lunch together.

29 Months Milestones

Yes, it's today. Shannen is finally 29 months now. We brought her to the clinic for reviews and we managed to get the letter from Dr Tan stating the Shannen is clear from the ulcer and is able to go back to school now. We called for a cab to send us to Bishan Junction 8 for lunch plus also celebration for Shannen's recovery and her 29 months big day.
Had out lunch @ The Manhattan Fish. Was surprised that Shannen was able to finish the kid set meal (Fish 'N' Chips) all by herself plus drinking some of my sweet potato soup. I ordered a Aglio Olio set meal while Huiting had her favourite Pouched Cherry Red Snapper with Chips. With the voucher I had, I only paid for $31++ for our lunch. It's definitely worth it and the foods were so good.

After that, we proceed to Haagen Dazs for some ice-cream (as promised by me earlier). Ordered a Flower Blossom with 6 scoops of mini ice-cream for flavours of our choice. Since the bill was more than $20, we are also entitled to purchase a tub of ice-cream back home @ $10.90++. Well, I bought a Tiramisu for Huiting to bring back. Cos has been very helpful every time I ask her for help. Just like today, she took off to company us out. She surely deserve the tub of Haagen Dazs ice-cream!

Shannen surely don't look like a sick child



'Mummy, are you done yet??'

Attacked!



Back to Shannen's updates. She is able to speak short sentences now. Like......

1) I was watching tv program @ mummy's place 1 day when she woke up asking me to carry her. I told her

Me : Come out yourself. Mummy watching Aunty cooking
(Shannen came out from the room and lie down next to me.)
Shannen : No.... it's uncle cooking, not aunty cooking.
(indeed the chief change to male after Shannen came out from the room)

2) My dad was having dinner with Shannen

Dad : The fish is hot, you cannot eat
Shannen : Ah gong. No... it's spicy, not hot.
(my dad was busting out loud after being correct by his grandchild)

3) It happened in school that Teacher Ida told me about it. She was showing all the kids(born in 2006) a switched off TV and asking them to imagine what would come out from the television.

Shannen's reply : No remote control, tv cannot on.
Teacher Ida stood there for a few seconds. Caused by surprised answer from Shannen. Lolz...

This is the kinda improvement Shannen has now. We look forward for her growing up everyday.

Fish & Co.

Planning to drive to NTUC to buy some groceries and have our dinner there. Before we decide where to go, asked Shannen for her opinion.

Me : Darling, Thomson or Sembawang?
Shannen : Sembawang
Me : You sure?
Shannen : Yes, Sembawang

End up Elson still insist to drive to Thomson Plaza for a try. Just before we made the U-turn, saw many cars waiting to drive into the mall with the "Full" parking sign showing. Elson then regret that he should have listen to Shannen earlier. So we made a turn back to Sun Plaza. Just as we drove along the road, saw Sembawang Shopping Center. Was thinking, why not go there since it's free parking and they have a Giant Supermarket there.

We settled our dinner @ Fish & Co. Shannen had a Fish 'N' Chips meals while Elson ordered an adult Fish 'N' Chips, I ordered a Prawns Fettuccini with Chili Cream. Elson and Shannen ones are the same style only different is the portion. As for mine...... I won't order that again. The Fettuccini was over-cooked though the prawns were fresh. Overall, it doesn't taste that nice.

After dinner, we went to Giant Hypermarket to do our groceries shopping. It was huge and not that crowded. So we get to shopping freely. Just as we were at the check-out cashier, saw 2 very familiar tress standing at the entrance. Then came a very familiar voice. It was Brian Wong. Then I remember that they are doing a shooting in Giant Sembawang @ 6pm. Elson as the cashier to hurry up and off we went home. Lolz...

New York New York

Since our last visit to New York New York, I have been thinking of their Seafood Aglio. Just miss the taste so much.

I then decided to meet mummy & Huiting @ New York New York, AMK Hub for lunch to stop my saliva drip further. Order a Bacon & Mushroom Aglio while Huiting had a Roasted Chicken Carborana, Mummy ones was a Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken Chop. Side dishes was Buffalo wings and Bravo Wedges, and we shared a Mango Lime Kickers. Shannen was enjoying the wedges while all of us agreed that the foods were good. Total bill was $72.97. So worth it to stop my craving for a while. We proceed to Ntuc Fairprice to shop for dinner(raw foods) and then head back to Punggol cos it's time for Shannen to take her nap.

Swimming....

After getting some influence from his friends, Elson has decided that we(Elson & Family, Sharlene & Family, Megan & Family) will sign up as a Safra member and go for a swim fortnightly. Went to World of Sports @ Lot 1 to get his trunk as his friend had lend him a member card which is valid for 30% discount. We also went to Kiddy Palace to get mother a swimming costume, some robes for the girls (Peixuan, Chloe & Shihui), floats for the younger ones (Shannen & Shihui). Total cost @ $140.

After shopping, we proceed to New York New York for our dinner. Mother ordered a lamb chop, Elson had a steak, mine was a Aligo seafood Linguine and Shannen's one was a salmon. Everything was good especially my Aligo seafood Linguine. We also went down to the NTUC to get some raw foods for tomorrow's steamboat. Wow... Elson spent a bomb today. Lolz...

While waiting for foods.....

Delifrance Buffet

After watching the "buffet show" on Channel 8, we had decided to give it a try at the Delifrance Breakfast Buffet @ Causeway Point. This is the 1st time Elson admit that he was defeated by the resturant. They only gave us small serving plate for our foods. Since Elson is a meat-eater, his choice of foods only left with hams & sausages. Think this shall be the last time we visit them again.
