Birthday Present Shopping at Vivocity

Since none of us were very hungry after the heavy breakfast and birthday cake, we've decided to let Lyn Lyn choose her birthday present at Toys R Us. Since she knows the place very well, she quickly dashed into the shop and played in front of the camera for a while before entering the shop proper to look for other toys. The first thing that caught her eyes were the joystick controller from the Vtech Smiles machine. She's tried playing this numerous times, but still, can't really control it. But this time, she understood that in order to play and win the game, she needed to find 2 matching ones! She stood there and completed 2 games before proceeding onto another section.

Papa tried distracting her by bringing her a small bicycle and this time, she's able to ride on it and turn the wheels! All were amazed and said that finally, we can buy a bicycle for her birthday! Special thanks to Ms Wahila for training her everyday in school during outdoor play, so as to enable us to get her a new bike for this birthday!

After we've found the perfect present for her this birthday, the adults have decided to sit down for lunch. Whilst Papa bring the bike to the car, Mama carried Lyn Lyn to watch another kid cutting her hair at the new "salon corner" in Toys R Us. When being asked, Lyn Lyn refused to have her hair cut, but insisted that she watch! We watched until Papa came back and then set off to Sushi Tei for some food! As usual, Lyn Lyn finished the edamame beans and her udon...she asked for strawberry ice-cream after lunch and held Gong Gong's hand and brought him to Haagen-Daz to pay for her ice-cream...Yum Yum!

We shopped for a little while more before stopping at the playground for Lyn Lyn to play, before she finally fall asleep! Her belated afternoon nap!
