BBQ

Mama's colleagues came to our house for BBQ today: Auntie Tong Gunn & hubby, Auntie Clare & Uncle Chris and Auntie June & hubby & Melody Jie Jie. Mama's been preparing Gwendolyn about a jie jie coming to play with her, but Lyn Lyn has been saying: No Melody Jie Jie, Want Melody Lyn Lyn...God knows what she means...anyways...she was so excited that she didn't nap, though she was tired all afternoon, until Clare & Chris have arrived.

Finally, when Melody came, she was still asleep and everyone except Mama and Lyn Lyn were home, until she wakes up. By the time we go down, the men has already started the fire and we're all ready to eat! Initially, Lyn Lyn was still rather grumpy, as she didn't sleep for very long. However, when Mama told her that when she has finished her food, she can play bubbles with Melody Jie Jie, she quickly ate 3 hotdogs and half a plate of bee hoon (rice vermicelli)! After that, she started with her bubble gun and frantically dipping her gun and generating bubbles.

Finally, when Mel is done with her food, she quickly joined Lyn Lyn in making more bubbles! They both finished 1 and a half bottles of bubbles in no time...before the adults think of other activities to keep them occupied, Lyn Lyn ran to Mama to ask for more FOOD! In the end, she ate another 2 hotdogs and Mel asked for it as well! When all the remaining hotdogs are eaten and we want to distract Lyn Lyn from eating more, we asked them to sing and dance...that's the highlight of the night...They have forgotten that they've just known each other and singing, dancing, hugging, etc etc...so fun to see both of them enjoying themselves!

Their dancing is getting out of hand, as they were sitting on the floor and almost knocking against the hot pits...everyone decided it's time to pack up and we all went up to eat dessert. It's getting late and all Aunties and Uncles are leaving...Lyn Lyn was fine with that, but when she finally calm down, she started : Want Melody Jie Jie...Mama tried distracting her and after a while : Want Melody Jie Jie...Papa and Mama knows that it's a sign that she wants to sleep, hence, brought her for a car ride...she was asleep in no time...and Papa and Mama can sleep in peace when reach home...so full and tired...haha!
