CNY Visiting ...

Yday aft work, i went to Vivo City's Toys 'R' Us wanting to buy a toy for my little nephew. It's the first toy i ever buy for a baby, never know it's such a tough choice deciding wat to buy! Thou i enjoy visiting Toys 'R' Us, but i usually look at the toys wif no buying intention. I realized that kids these days r a privilege lot, having a wide variety to choose from & of course their toys dun come cheap. In our generation, toys were simple & durable. These days, have different categories of toys for education or juz for fun purposes. I had initially wanted to find a soft book tt teach babies ABCs, but those i saw hv only pictures. I liked a 'crab' toy which is meant for 9mth-olds, it can move sideways wif diff stuff attached to it, heehee! However on 2nd tots, i din buy cos the parents won't be able to stuff tt in their luaggage when fly back to Shanghai. So, i browsed ard & decided on a musical cow teether...so cute! It's meant for babies to grawl when growing their teeth. When u press the cow's cheek, it will go ''Moo...Moo...Old MacDonald have a farm..." (^0^)

Went cousin YJ's hse to play wif Matthias briefly bef they returned to Shanghai. I was lucky to arrive after his feed as he looked alert & allowed me to cuddle him. Before long, he's in his mood swing again...wanting to sleep. Babies really hv a gd life! Awaiting May, they will be back in sg for a week. By then, he shld hv grow much more & looking fwd to see him play wif the toy i bought him.

Continued wif CNY visit to my mom's side... one aunt in Serangoon, the other in Bishan. We were pretty lost for the afternoon. At Serangoon MRT, we needed to chg bus but confusion arose when my aunt said we were at the wrong bus stop o/s the mrt! Then we went down the station & re-exit, oh manz...we r now on the opp side! I asked a passer-by for direction & suddenly another helpful lady heard our conversation, asked us where we want 2 go? She told us the buses to take & shld board at the earlier bus-stop to reach Ave.4! Wat a merry-go-round!

Then in the later part, at Bishan MRT...we wanted to board a train to City Hall but my 'kan cheong' dad saw a mrt abt to move off & dashed in! My mom & I almost couldn't get in but the train door actually re-opened for us. In the train, while we were figuring if wrong direction...a helpful gal overheard us & told us we boarded the wrong train!!! So we hv to alight at AMK station & chg train. I started to wonder if ppl tink we r tourists? Haha! Cos it's a whole aftn of directions guessing in an unfamiliar part of Sg!
