Happy Birthday 奶奶 / Show & Tell Pre-works

This has been another busy and very fulfilling weekends for the family.

On Saturday morning, I went to Chan Brothers travel to pick up our E-tickets and confirmation vouchers. We are all ready for our 4D3N Hong Kong Disney Magical and Shopping Extravaganza tour.

I discovered a new way to travel from Ang Mo Kio to Chinatown by a special bus service – CT8. The ride was smooth and fast. Now that I discovered this new service, going to Chinatown will be much easier.

In the evening, we celebrated my MIL’s birthday at Sze Chuan Court restaurant at the Fairmont Hotel. My MIL had bought the Raffles membership and she had some 50% meal discount vouchers, so we had a very sumptuous dinner with red wine. Her birthday cake was a Black Forest cake from Pine Garden. As usual, we had a great time with the extended families. Like mommy Vivien said – it’s the companionship that really matter.

On Sunday, we went around with our Sunday routine. Anthea will be having her 1st Show & Tell presentation on next Wednesday, 04 March 09. She is supposed to talk about her Superhero and she decided to talk about Bloom from Winx Club.

Adrian helped her in her prep works and made her practice her “speech” after her lunch. Initially she was very soft and unsure in her presentation, but after a few rounds of practicing, she got better with her show and tell. We just hope she will do well in the actual presentation.

This week will be another week of tests for her, she will be having her topical Chinese test on Wednesday and English test on Friday. Then she will has her Math test on 11 March, just before the 1 week school break. I will be busy supervising her revisions for the tests.

Wow…it’s just so amazing the amount of school works that the Primary school are doing nowadays. I don’t remember doing all these during my time... : P

In the evening, Adrian cooked his famous “pineapple rice” and I prepared a pot of soup and a baked fish. We had a simple and nice home cooked meal. Anders does not like pineapple rice, so after my evening jog; I packed a packet of duck rice for him… : P

After dinner, we watched Casino Royale on TV5. I told Adrian that this is the 1st time I watched a James Bond Movie, well, it was not as bad as I expected. I told him it felt a bit like watching Jackie Chan Action packed movie…haha.

Next Sunday, TV5 will be showing Lara Craft in the Tombstone, so I guess we are in for another movie treat since we hardly had the chance to go to cinema for action movies anymore. These Sunday stay-at-home movies are a better deal for Adrian and me…haha.

FREE Water PURIFIER - on Friday evening, after buying a birthday present at Tangs for my MIL (we bought her Jurlique products), we were entitled to this free gift. Now I am wondering to use or not to use… : P Must find out more about the product.
