CNY: 8th Day

Sunday is another busy day, with 3 house visits: Auntie Moi Lre (Mama's colleague), Auntie Doreen and Uncle Leon and Auntie Adele and Uncle Kim Siong. We set off for Auntie Moi Lre's in Paya Leba first. Gwendolyn felt very at home after she arrived...followed all of Auntie Moi Lre's kids to the kids room and played together. As Lyn Lyn brought a toy for Auntie Moi Lre's kids, they opened the toy on the spot and started playing together. See how engrossed she is, even though she still doesn't understand how to play the game!

After staying for around 2 hours, we set off for Bukit Batok, for Auntie Doreen and Uncle Leon's house! Surprised that we're the only ones in the group who went, at least until we leave, we're still the only family! What a disappointment that Maximus Gor Gor refused to play together with Lyn Lyn...maybe they still need to warm up a litle more or get together a little more? But as usual, Lyn Lyn felt very at home, playing with all the available toys, especially the bowling set!

It was rather difficult to get both Maximus and Lyn Lyn to start playing together on the Thomas train set...but at least, it started...but Lyn Lyn kept knocking the tracks over and it seems like Maximus was rather irritated! Oh yeah, Lyn Lyn had her first "Lo Hei" ("捞起" - a Singapore Cantonese tradition during the CNY period) ! She enjoyed the crackers though!

Finally, last stop is Ghim Moh...Frederick Di Di was so excited when Lyn Lyn arrived...both missed each other so much...so funny! They were chasing after each other, pushing each other on the tricycle...offering each other food...they really have this good bonding by playing with each other often! Oh yes, last week, Lyn Lyn developed a new relationship with Auntie Carolyn and has forgotten to take a picture with her. Mama remembered and asked the two new friends to take a picture together! But seems like Lyn Lyn is more interested in her new infatuation in pistacchio nuts than taking the picture!

Highlight of the night: "Lo Hei" and Cake-cutting for Frederick Di Di's grandpa's 70th birthday! It was so funny that Lyn Lyn, as usual, acted as if it's her own birthday again, blowing the candles and cutting the cake...please see the pictures from Frederick Di Di's blog - http://fredericktan.blogspot.com/2007/02/yeyes-birthday-party.html
