Weekend without Mommy...

My wife is out of town for the weekend... So its just me and my 2 Princesses. Yup... That's right Superdad is here to maintain law and order...heh heh heh...


Isabel was at the airport to send off her mom, she acted very strong until she saw them walk into the departure hall, that's when she started to cry... a bit.

She said: "I miss Mommy..."
I assured her that mommy will be back before she knows it and proceed to tell her the line of activities I've arranged for her through the weekend

Starting With... :
Pancake making on Saturday morning!

I got the idea from the show Supernanny where they encourage the kids to be involve with the cooking so as they be interested with the food introduced to them.

I was supurise that she didn't make a mess with it... She cracked the eggs, help poured the milk, stirred till smooth.


Not exactly the best pancake ever tasted, but its pretty good.

In the afternoon I promised to bring her to Fun Dazzle to let her work out her extra energy.

The fee was S$8 per child for the peak hours, that means $16 for the 2 of them for an hour... Shiver...

I had no idea when they say peak hours, the amount of children in there can be so packed, they ran through the obstacles like nobody's business. Their sweaty hair and body pushed and

shoved for space.

I looked at some of the "kids" they're more like teenagers rather than children, playing catch among the younger ones, stepping thru and knocking around.

I was worried for my Ally as she climbed through the maze, I followed and protected her all the way to the top and down thru small crawl space... that took half hour. I called for a time out and make them go for water where I got my maid to take over me for the next half hour.
At the end of the hour, Ally still wants to go on, rushing back to maze for a go at it.

Dinner time I brought them to the East Point Shopping Center to eat sushi. Isabel was very hungry... so hungry that before I finished looking thru the menu, she already helped herself to the sushi moving on the conveyor belt and ate 4 pieces of sushi, by the time I ordered for everyone, she ate another 4. Then she continued to polished off a bowl of Udon... I can't brand her to be a picky eater anymore.

The point of going to that shopping center is because there is a popular pet shop call Safari Pet shop, a very comprehensive shop
that sells every kind of pet... Puppies, fishes, kittens, hamsters, rabbits, etc...

I think for Ally its her first time she sees a rabbit or hamsters. She was very excited to see the little fur ball with four little feets scurrying around the glass tank.


At the section where they displays the puppies, she just stared in amazement at the variety of different breeds of dogs. Until then, she's only seen a terrier from my parent's place.




Sunday, I called a friend who stays in condo to arrange for a time to go there for a swim. I brought the whole gang there but they seems more interested to play with the toys there rather than swim in the hot sun. Isabel lazed around and watch Ally throw the beach ball at my maid.

But of course we had a good time at the pool later.

For the whole weekend, I rented a total of 4 movies to watch till wee hours every night while the kids are asleep, . Anyway, the kids sleep in a different room from us since the day I brought them home, so it won't disturb them.

Mommy came back last night, Isabel with her sister excitedly welcome her at the airport.
I must say that Isabel is very mature, throughout the weekend, she's been a good daughter and a good sister. She never gave me any problem or throw tantrum. She also never unreasonably cry for mommy. I really thank God for her good behavior.
