Sacrifices..

Last night after dinner, Anthea requested with nai nai that she wanted to sleep over at her house. Sensing that MIL is tired from her day work and the whole day event, i told Anthea to go home to sleep, so nai nai can have a good night rest.

While on our way back in the car, Adrian told Anthea that by helping to make things easier for all of us, she will get to chose which swimming pool she would like to swim on Sunday. She was quite happy after hearing this. She chosed Safra Mouth Fable, so this morning adrian fetched both MIL and Anthea to the pool. He forego his badminton session and spend time reading his notes while waiting for them.

Now with the new weekends logistics arrangement, there are a lot of sacrifices we have to make. Sometimes as a mother, i feel sad to see her faces this kind of disappointment. However, i know this will slowly but surely build up her character and understanding - in life, we don't always get what we want. As a consolation - Anthea is now looking forward to the 2o Oct weekends as MIL assured her that she can get to spend time over at her place.. : )

Today dinner was supposed to be at Clark Quay, however, around 4pm, we got sms that venue was changed to Raffles City. My parents in law brought the new baby to Raffles City to walk around as the AMK HUB was too crowded..hehe.

Like i said, when thing change - there is always negative & positive sides to it. Negative side is since it is Thai cuisine, Anthea and Anders could not really take much of the food as most of them are hot & spicy. So we packed our own dinner for 2 of them. They had a bowl of fish maw soup with their dinner.

As for the positive side - we managed to buy some fruits that were required for Anthea Class project for this coming week.

Also, we bought DONUTS from donut factory...hee...no Q. Got them in less than 10 minutes.



Met a friend earlier who also bought a box of donuts, asked her how long she Q for them, she said : "1 Hour...".

Are we so lucky !!!

Hi Angelcow,

In my own opinion, it's not worth q-ing 1 hour for these. Unless you really have time to "wait"... : P

Btw, i heard the Suntec City outlet also no need to Q..so if you happen to be in Suntec,can take a look.

New outlet opening in Novena Square, heard Idy mentioned that yr DH works ard there..hee : )
