Ben 10 Live Show

On Friday, I read on Straits Times that there was a Ben 10 Live show at United Square. Anders is a BIG Fan of Ben 10 and so is Anthea.

As Adrian needed to go to Velocity @ Novena Square to collect his Mizuno Run stuff, so I told him we should cross over to United Square for the Live Show.

The Live show was scheduled at 2pm; we reached United Square around 12.30pm. We had a quick lunch at one of the fast food chain. While eating, we were also monitoring the Q for the Live Show.

Halfway through the meal, I saw the Q was getting a bit long, so I told Adrian that I would go and join in the Q first while he finished lunch with the children.

Around 1pm, the Q was along quite long as expected. Also since it’s school holidays, I know more parents will bring their children for the show.

Both Anthea and Anders were excited and looked forward to the show.

Around 2pm, the show started and Anders was very excited to see Ben 10, Wild Mite and Four arms. The show was very entertaining and all the children were very excited to see the good fight against the bad ones. I was really glad that we had the chance to catch the Live Show before we are off for our vacation.

After the show, we shopped around the mall and I bought a pair of walking shoes.

In the evening, dinner was at my parents place as my dad had cooked one of Adrian favorite dish – Oxtail stew. Also my dad brewed some 燕窝soup for the family and had asked us to drink some before our holiday.

After dinner, we went home and I continued with some of our final stuff to pack into the luggages. It seem like there are always add on till the day of departure..haha.

Looney Tunes – Christmas Carnival

Angie is so “SPOT-ON” when she said that we are like Ge-Tai singers during this December month. We are really Q-ing up for the shows. Lucky for me, Anthea and Anders had outgrown some of the characters like Sesame Street, Barney and I didn't even introduce them to Hello Kitty...hee.

So this year the numbers of shows that we have to run after are quite limited. Phew...thanks goodness.

This morning, we had our usual breakfast and then headed to the swimming pool. I started Anthea on her swimming lesson, again. After the last swimming lesson, she said she wanted to stop and I didn't force her to continue. Now I thought it would be a good time to start again as she will be in Primary One soon and one of her CCA is swimming.

She was a bit reluctant to start on swimming but I gave her my best encouragement and luckily after the lesson, she said she likes the new coach.

After a good 1 hour of swimming, we went home for lunch and the children had their power nap.

They woke up around 5.30pm and I told myself -“ok, we should change and go to Q for the Looney Tunes Live show.”

The childcare bath and changed and as we were leaving the house around 6.10pm. I told them that there is a Live Show at AMK HUB and they were very excited.

When we reached the AMK HUB, the Q had started and we joined in. we were in the middle of the Q, so not too bad.

Around 6.50pm, we were seated and there was a Host to warm up the crowd. He played games with the children and kept them entertained. At 7pm, the show started and Tweety, Sylvester and Bug Bunny came on stage. All the children were very happy.

The dance show and game lasted for about 15 minutes. Then the host gathered the children to go on stage to take photo with the characters. NO PURCHASE REQUIRED. So Anthea and Anders had the chance to take a photo with them on stage.

After the show, we had dinner at the food court near Macdonald. Anthea had her Subway and Anders had his Duck noodles. They had requested to go to the Bubble and Snow play again, so after dinner, we had another round of fun before going home.

What a fun and enjoyable day it has been for us.

WINX CLUB – Enchantix Christmas

December is always a busy month to catch LIVE SHOWS at the different Malls. Anthea is a WINX CLUB Fan and I know she simply adores the Fairies. Knowing that the Fairies are LIVE in town, how can I not do some ground work...haha.

After reading some negative feedbacks on last year Winx Club LIVE show, I decided not to bring her for last year show, anyway, last year we were all packed for different shows.

So this year I thought I should make an effort to bring her. The 1st thing I did was to go do a pre-view of the LIVE Show before deciding on bringing her. As the show place was near my current workplace, so last Friday, I went to view it first. After seeing the show, I told myself – Yes, Anthea will like it.

Early this week, I contacted one of her classmate – Lydia's mommy to ask if she may be interested to bring her girl along for the Live Show. She said she would like to bring her girl too. So we worked out a plan.

The plan was I would go to the venue and Q for the show 1st; Lydia's mommy will go to the Childcare to pick up the girls and meet me at the show venue.

Today after work, I went to the venue and as it was still early, there was no one in the Q. So I went to run some errands before coming back to the Q area.

Around 1 pm, I saw people started Q-ing, so I went to join in the Q. The 3 of them arrived about 1.20pm and they went to walk around the Winx Club toy section. Both Anthea and Lydia were so excited and going goo-goo and gaga over all the merchandise.

Then at 1.50pm, we were all seated and we had a very good seat near the main stage. The show started on time at 2pm. Both of them were so happy to see the characters came on stage. The dance moves were quite good.

The show lasted for ½ hour and when it ended, Anthea was quite sad and asked me why the show ended so fast... : P

After the show, we went to Ya-Kun and have a light teabreak. Both of them enjoyed each other company so much that they want to go to each other house to play.

We had invited Lydia to our home on Monday for breakfast and then they can play till their heart contented.

I am really happy that Anthea has such a good friend and I know she will miss Lydia when they go to different primary schools next year.
