Usually we’ll leave the house before noon on Sat and proceed to town (this is our usual routine on weekends). This Sat we started out late. Left the house at close to 3pm. Cherylin and I woke up early today at 7am so she took a short 1 hour nap at 2pm while I was preparing her stuff (she fell asleep while playing with the bed rail on her bed. Too tired liao). Went to Harbourfront area to have my Canon Digicam repaired but was told that the service centre is only open on Weekdays. Thereafter, we proceeded to Chinatown where we’ll be having our pre-departure talk at 5.30pm. We arrived early at about 4.40pm so decided to have a chat with our tour consultant and make the final payment before proceeding to our briefing scheduled at 5.30pm. The briefing only started at 6pm and was conducted in 2 languages. Chris, the tour consultant doing the briefing, was a chatty lady. However, we found that she talked a little too much. The briefing was still ongoing at 7.30pm!
As we had to attend a birthday celebration of a friend’s daughter, we left without staying till the end. During the briefing, Cherylin was very restless, either talked loudly, sang loudly, or clapped as Chris was talking. She made a lot of noise saying that she wanted to go to ‘mei mei’s’ house. We had earlier told her that we are going to attend mei mei’s birthday party later the day. We rushed and arrived at the venue at 8pm (2 hours passed the start time of 6pm). The birthday cake was very pretty. It’s a farmland theme and there’s lots of little animal figurine on the cake. Cherylin was fascinated by the cake and happily took the little rooster when the host was distributing the figurines to the children. She managed to finish the slice of cake that was given to her. That’s an achievement considering she never liked cake. She didn’t even eat her own birthday cake previously when she turned 2.

We proceeded to my friend’s new house. By then, Cherylin had already warmed up and went to hug the huge elmo that was on the sofa. She happily played with Rachel too. On our way home, she said that we wants to go to mei mei’s house again. We can easily tell that she enjoyed herself that night :)
