CNY 2010: 14th Feb

First day of CNY. We had our buffet breakfast at the crowded hotel restaurant. Thank God Mama Yeh Yeh went down earlier to book us all a table. Selection of food... so so only. There was a long queue of people waiting for their table, and not enough food. The hotel was shorthanded on this day, but we enjoyed ourselves, especially the kids. William had so much to eat - different varieties of cereals, porridge, cake, fruits, croissant (his fav) - that I don't recall him drinking his milk after that.

After breakfast, the kids cleaned up and changed. Watched our second lion dance where Vic freaked out. Then we pai nin with Mama Yeh Yeh in their hotel room, exchanging good wishes and ang pows. After that, we proceeded to Taipo's apartment in Bedok.

During the time there, the kids went downstairs to the playground with their two uncles, Uncle Ryan (aged 13yo) and Uncle Randell (aged 11yo). Just a few months back, they would still hold Vic's hands, but now they are now too shy to hold Vic's hand although she wants to hold their hands.

William, don't touch!!! Garbage in Singapore? Now that's rare
Wheeeee!!

Move over... not enough space


In the late afternoon we went back to the hotel to rest and freshen up before heading out in search of dinner. Most of the restaurants and shopping malls are closed on this day. We had dinner at Jack's Place near the hotel. After dinner was a surprise time watching the boats, walking around Clarke Quay... crowded no doubt, but nice weather and the walking was much welcomed after a hearty meal.
