The Ngs Update!: Wash car & feed fish

Papa left for Seoul early this morning on business trip, leaving Gwendolyn and Mama to spend the rest of the day together. In fact, Mama has a lot of work to settle and has brought everything home, thinking that she may have some time to attend to it. However, in view of the piling housework and a hyper-active Lyn Lyn today, she had no choice, but to abandon her work plans until tomorrow! Lyn Lyn talked to (on the phone with) Por Por for about 20 minutes this morning and then concentrated at the TV for a while (somehow, she was really interested with her VCDs today?!). Mama cooked some mee sua as brunch, whilst Lyn Lyn kept asking for cheez...she ate 8 cubes of the "laughing cow" bite-size cheez until Mama asked her to stop.

After brunch, Mama brought Lyn Lyn to Cold Storage at Jelita, hoping that after the trolley round, she'll fall asleep in the car. However, as Mama's car is very dirty and petrol is running low, we went to Shell for top-up and car wash. At first, Lyn Lyn wasn't very keen on the washing and kept asking Mama to go home and wash the car. However, while waiting, Mama explained the procedures to Lyn Lyn as she watched other cars being washed. Finally, it's our turn and Lyn Lyn kept saying she want to go "outside". When the water start splashing on the car, Lyn Lyn said she was SCARED and Mama has to hold her hand to calm her down. Next comes the white foam and she can't see anything outside. She was looking really seriously SCARED and Mama has to explain to her that the uncles will wipe away the foam and rinse with water. Slowly, she start to see light and the outside world again and began to relax...until the car was being dried by 2 other uncles and Mama has given her $6 to pay for the wash, she didn't have a single smile on her face...what an experience for her! When we finally leave for home, Mama thought that she will fall asleep in the car...on the contrary, she was getting more and more energetic...oh dear...she didn't nap at all since getting home and was fighting with Mama for reading books, playing games, etc...and Mama was so knackered

Mama tried luring her to feed the fish downstairs, so as to tire her out from walking. Unfortunately, before we reach the pond, it started to rain. In the end, Mama asked her whether she's hungry and she said: YES, I want ABC (macaroni). Mama quickly cooked her some ABC with sausages, while she waited with the TV. After eating her ABC, the sky cleared and finally, we managed to go and feed the fish. On the way, she saw 2 Jie Jie's blowing bubbles and she ignored Mama and ran towards to "catch" the bubbles...when the Jie Jie's were annoyed, they stopped blowing and Mama quicking asked Lyn Lyn to head for the fishes...she enjoyed the feeding so much and Mama promised to bring her again when Papa is back. After this, Mama bathed Lyn Lyn and told stories before she finally fell asleep...WHAT A LONG DAY!
