Visit to the President's House

Today is Labour Day and the President's House was opened to the public. This is the first time that Mama and Gwendolyn visiting and it was the area is BIG! When we first walked in, the landscape was designed like a golf course. As we proceed further into the grounds, we started seeing sand pits and flags, which is just typical of a golf course! How nice.....

As we walked further in, there was an area designated for kids' to play (with various types of slides and swings). Gwendolyn was crying for the swings (ever since she's reached the age of 2, she started crying for things she wants + she was tired) and was impatient in when waiting for her turn. She literally cried until the parent of the other child has to ask his child to give way to her...sigh! Anyways, she had her share of the swing, slide and the cubby house!

Later on, we went into the President's House and saw some big crystal chandeliers. It was funny that she was shouting for BUBBLES, as she thought the crystals were bubbles...haha...then I corrected her and told her that those are in fact CRYSTALS! She loved them. After visiting the interior, we went out to the garden and she was excited by the fountain, as she's in love with WATER! Whilst tapping her little fat hands into the water, she saw a little boy falling into the fountain and his mother quickly jumped in to fish him out. The boy must have gotten scared and didn't know how to react, while his mother was "scolding" him. I asked Gwendolyn whether she was scared and she replied a crisp NO!
