It was a sunny and cool day today! Me and my last minute decision, we decided to head to the Bottle Tree Park to catch fishes. Heard from my friend, Kylene that it was a fun place for the kids. Sigh because of that, we decided to skip one lesson of Amanda's ballet. Luckily she didn't ask why she doesn't have ballet today otherwise I have to tell a lie that there is no class today. Phew!
We packed sandwiches, claypot rice, fruits and drinks there. Planned to meet Cheryl and her family at about 12.30pm. As usual this woman is always not on time. They met us downstairs our home at 1.20pm. We set off together and reach there about 1.50pm. Along the journey, Cheryl's son Zavier fell asleep in his car seat. 妹妹's eyelids looked heavy yet she didn't fall asleep at all. Maybe she sensed her 姐姐's excitement in the car. The moment we reached there, 姐姐 shouted. Where is the pond? Where are the fishes? Kaka was more excited. She commented that the environment looked like her kampong.
The moment we reached there, I brought 姐姐 to buy the equipment for the fishes. I paid $10.00 for a unlimited time. The boss gave us a fishing net, a mini plastic tank and the fish food to collect later. Frankly I also feel abit reluctant to go into water. But I'm the mummy so must be sporting. I held Amanda and she sticked very close by my side. She doesn't want to go into water. I have to carry her and put her into the pond. She was abit fearful, kept standing on the rocks. Hahaha. 妹妹 can't fish so she was only enjoy kicking the water in the pond. After a short while of kicking, I asked Su to put her to sleep.
I was quite lousy. Tried fishing and at the end of the day, managed to catch 2 miserable fishes. Amanda managed to fish 2 too. Cheryl and Kaka managed to catch more. Zavier woke up about 3.30pm to join in the fun. He is very intelligent. Instead of fishing in the large pond, he tried to fish in Amanda's and his tank. He caught one in his net from his own little tank.
妹妹 slept after 2.30pm and she woke up before 4.00pm. She was really tired and that was really a short nap. We played for a while after she is awake. Left the place about 5pm.
It was a long ride before we settle for dinner and it was at Old Airport Rd. It was renovated and I really swear that I will not go there anymore. It was terribly jammed.
We headed for Suntec after and it was nearly 8pm then. Sigh! When is the FOX's sales gonna end? I spent another $88.00 and that actually eats into the budget for the month. I can only comfort myself that it was a good buy because it was 50% and those are all the basics tops that I'm buying for the girls.
What a tired, tired DAY! But we really had a fruitful trip today!
