FUN DAY @ ND Street Carnival

In celebration of the National Day, our constituency had a mini Street Carnival. Both Anthea & Anders also received games coupon via their childcare. Also for the residents, we are given a coupon as well, via the mailbox.

Needless to say, after Anthea’s swimming lesson, we went home and brought Anders along to the carnival. Both of them had a good time at the games stall. They tried “fishing” the fishes – this is a giveaway because it is a very easy game. They collected nice prizes from the games.

There were stalls selling toys and various items and the prices of these toys are very affordable. I believed the monies will go to the constituency fund. Anthea bought a Hello Kitty stamp and Anders chose for himself a toy truck.

After all the fun, we headed home for lunch. It was an unforgettable lunch – reason being Anthea was playing her elder sister role very well. She fed Anders his lunch and at the same time ate her own.

I was telling Adrian “wow. Today is our lucky day…must go buy lottery… hee : P “

When they were done with the lunches, Anthea brought in the 2 empty bowls and proudly announced “mommy, anders and I finished our lunches.” I said “thank you, jie jie. Mommy is very proud of you. “

Then they were off to play with their new toys. Guess what ….. Anders ended up with Hello Kitty stamps all over his hands and legs…ha-ha.

In the afternoon, 2 of them took their usual nap and woke up around 5pm. We went downstairs to see the Parade of colors; the street was closed for the parade. The Guest of Honor was PM Lee. The children had fun playing with their bubbles and we took 2 mini Singapore flags. At 6pm, we went home for a bath and changed of clothing before we met the families for dinner.

Our dinner was at Por Kee at Sam Poh lane (波記冷気海鮮酒楼). This is a family restaurant and the foods served were very nice. Adrian and I especially like their Champagne Pork Ribs – it was yummy.

On dinner table Father In-law reminded me that the TOTO BIG Draw had amounted to $6.8 million and told me to buy before 9 pm on Monday night.

We left the restaurant, feeling happy and energized once again. I saw the newly renovated Tiong Bahru Market – it is now a doubled storey building with a food centre and wet market. It seems better ventilated then the old one, next time must go and try all the famous food in this long historical market.
