Luncheon at Lemon Garden and face painting

Hubby came home from his outstation business trip yesterday late morning, just in time to bring us out to Shangrila's Lemon Garden Cafe for buffet lunch. Every Sunday the Cafe have activities for kids such as face painting, balloon sculptures, clown, sand art, etc. Vic wanted to do face painting and she mentioned this to us a few days back, but I didn't thought of making a booking until yesterday morning itself. At first they told me that the cafe is fully booked, but will get a manager to call me back to see if they can slot us in. In the meantime, I told Vic that the place was fully booked and we may not be able to go. Vic replied, "It's OK... then we go another day."

As it is, they got a table for us, at a nice corner away from the crowd but near the aquariums so William got occupied with that for a while. Vic had two types of rice, brown and white, and steamed "chat sing pan", dhal, beef satay, braised lamb cutlets and assorted fruits. She eat for free, btw since she's below 5yo. Hubby and I enjoyed the selection. I didn't eat much as half way during lunch, I went out with Vic to do her "face painting" and get somemore balloons. Vic decided she wanted a scorpion because she saw two boys before her did that, then she changed her mind to spider, painted on her arm. Phew!! I think I like this better than a scorpion!

William had a difficult time finishing his porridge with so much distractions. When he was done, he was like a little boy who has not been out of the house for a month. The kids enjoyed walking near the fish pond, watching other kids, playing with the different type of balloon sculptures, and Vic insisted on feeding Daddy and me ice cream. She also helped me put my strawberry stick into the chocolate fountain. I assured her that when she is fully recovered from her allergies, Daddy and Mummy will let her eat all these food.

After close to 3 hours of gluttony and fun and only paying 50% of our bill, we headed home. On the way back, we drop by our friendly fish shop and got two more fishes for the aquarium as two or three fishes died sometime back and we have not replaced them.

The process... it's painless! Victoria's first body art

Here's my new tattoo... is it cool???
