  • Dear Kristen,

    This was a short workweek because of Deepavali on Thursday. So on Thursday, we lazed around at Grandma's and went to East Coast Park for a walk in the evening.

    At East Coast Park, strangely enough, you didn't really want to walk. You wanted to be carried most of the time... Perhaps because the place was unfamiliar? Anyway, that was good because it was quite crowded and having to chase after you and risk you hitting a bicycle (or vice versa), okay, it was fantastic that you didn't struggle to get down and run amok. We watched people at the Cable Ski Park... and Mummy wants to try it one day! ... Or bring you when you're older! We can go together!!

    Sigh, today (Saturday), you woke up ultra early crying away. Daddy and Mummy couldn't figure out what was causing you pain or trouble. It was 5.30 in the morning and you were so upset. We tried to give you milk at first and you didn't want it. For the next hour or so, you alternated between falling asleep on Mummy's chest for like 5 minutes and then waking up and crying again, to being on Daddy's shoulder for like 5 minutes and waking up and crying again. Finally, we made you milk again which you accepted and finally fell asleep.

    Then... you woke up at 9.40am! Wow... the whole day turned a little off schedule. Instead of having milk as the first feed, Mummy jumped straight to breakfast (toast with jam, and bananas!). You couldn't fall asleep after your milk feed at 1 (too early? not tired enough?) Ended up, you fell asleep only at 5pm (usual time should be 11am - 1pm) when Mummy was watching a play with Auntie Joyce. Yah... Mummy went to watch Pillowman with Auntie Joyce... It was reeallly goood!! Morbid but good show..

    After the show, Mummy and Auntie Joyce went to Swissotel Merchant Court... to meet Grandma and Grandpa who were there for a wedding... and to pick you up! We then went for dinner at Manhattan Fish Market with Auntie Erin as well where you behaved really really well. One funny thing happened though, when you finished the first fry in your hand... you leaned over to my plate and grabbed another fry for yourself. And when Mummy plucked off the hard crispy top off the fry that you grabbed, you glared at Mummy.. hahaa.. So greedy..

    You finally fell asleep at around 10 plus (phew... back to the normal time)... Hopefully tomorrow your schedule is not so 'off' again because we're going to a gym class!

    Love,     
    Mummy
