West Coast Park

Since Papa is out stationed in Taiwan and Uncle Kim Siong has a badminton session, Mama and Auntie Adele decided to go to the West Coast Park McDonald's for breakfast. The McDs there is very nice, with a big outdoor playground outside, Mama was surprised to see such a big crowd so early on a Saturday! (For some facts about the park, please see http://www.nparks.gov.sg/nparks_cms/display_park.asp?parkid=10). Since Gwendolyn loves to eat Hot Cake and sausage, Mama ordered 1 Hot Cake and Sausage meal, with an orange juice and hashbrown for Lyn Lyn. She ate 1 and a half pieces of hot cake and 1 whole piece of sausage + a quarter of the hashbrown! She was so satisfied after that. Frederick Di Di ate half a piece as well!

Lyn Lyn saw Mama dipping syrup and asked to dip as well

After that, we went out to the playground. Since it is almost 11 o'clock, the sun is very strong, everyone is very hot. Despite this, Lyn Lyn removed her shoes and ran towards the play area. However, when her feet is in touch with some of the metal parts of the structures, she stood still and said seriously : HOT! In the end, Mama has to carry her off from where she's climbed up to and keep shifting to other structures for her to try...Even though she was still interested in trying, Frederick Di Di is not interested in playing and the entire area is very heated, Mama decided to leave the place and we all went to Auntie Adele's house to see her Doggie!


When we arrive at Auntie Adele's house and saw her Doggie, Lyn Lyn was excited but scared. When the Doggie started rushed out when the gate was open and trying to smell Mama's feet (1st time visiting), Lyn Lyn was murmuring: I don't want this...very typical of her. When we finally got in and settle down, she wanted to touch, but was too scared to touch too...it was so funny seeing her with the Doggie. Whereas Frederick Di Di is so used to him and sometime even bully him...However, to Mama's surprise, instead of being interested with the Doggie, she thought Frederick Di Di's toys are more attractive. In the end, the 2 were playing with the toys and the poor Doggie had to watch them play. After a bit of running around, finally, Lyn Lyn started yawning and rubbing her eyes and Mama knows that it's almost her nap time. We bid farewell and left for home. On the way home, she fell asleep in the car!

Whilst Mama was doing housework and preparing to bring Lyn Lyn to the airport to pick-up Papa for dinner, Auntie Tricia called and we've decided to go together. She came and meet us first before we set off for the airport. Whilst waiting, Auntie Tricia went to Polar to get some sugar rolls and Lyn Lyn has asked for one. She happily sat on the trolley and ate her cake while waiting for Papa...well, eating seems to be her favourite past time activity...no wonder she's over-weight!
