End of June Holidays!

The girls started a new journey in both primary and secondary school this year.  Thankful that both have adjusted relatively well to the new environment, and I can't believe that half of the year is already over and Term 3 starts today! Well, but I'm thankful that we had a fruitful and enjoyable June school holidays. 

It started with a relaxing evening cycling trip at East Coast Park when the holidays started. We rode a family bike and all was well and fun until dabao dropped and broke her glasses. I guess that made the outing even more unforgettable, lol. But the route that we took that day was really beautiful, and weather was really nice that day too.

It was also the first time I planned a shopping trip with the girls to Uniqlo, and of course the girls managed to buy some clothes there, but meimei was complaining that it would be better if we can shop at Moley Apparels instead. Maybe next time, haha. 

There was an interesting event at the zoo this holidays and I was surprised that the girls had fun especially since Dabao doesn't really like going to the zoo. There were many activities that they took part but what drove up their happiness index was definitely the Little Pony hair extension, lol.  The nerf gun shooting booth was fun too!

On one of the weekends, we visited the Chow Cute cafe. Although we didn't see any pets from visitors, the girls were delighted to play with two cute chows chows in an enclosed area. Since there wasn't much patrons that day, we had lots of time with the chows chows to ourselves. Oh, not forgetting that dabao was traumatized by a little parrot who looked totally harmless there. 

The highlight for the girls, or maybe for meimei, would be the outing to Kiztopia. She hadn't been to an indoor playground for a long long time, and was so excited to go again with Abby and jiejie. Although everyone was wearing a mask, we could see that she's smiling and beaming with happiness in all the photos that were taken at Kiztopia. Watching her going around with the two big sisters, climbing up the structures and sliding down the slides without mama's company and assurance makes me feel that my little baby has grown up so much. And my big baby tried to make the best out of that trip by squeezing into the kiddy train ride as well, hahaha. 

There was a cultured trip for the girls this holiday too. We went to the Children's Biennale at National Gallery! Honestly, we couldn't really appreciate everything over there but I'm glad that they still enjoyed themselves. Some of the more unforgettable booths were probably the paper weaving activity, a big room display made of cardboards and also another colorful room with lots of tents. The girls claimed that they are more cultured now, coupled with the fact that they drink Yakult everyday, which is cultured milk, lol. 

The next outing was to dabao's favourite Sentosa!!! We went for the luge, skyride and cable car. It was quite scary when we were on the skyride as dear and I saw a bee hovering around the girls when we were hanging so high in the sky. Thankfully the girls were not alarmed and all was well and safe, because the bee flew to us instead, lol.  As we were taking the cable car, we decided to spend some time at the Siloso beach but meimei was totally sian about it as she did not like having sand in her shoes. Dabao insisted on taking some cool shots at the Siloso sign structure but ended up looking very pathetic and unglam instead, hahahaha. 

That weekend, we celebrated Father's Day at City hotpot! We were busy eating and taking insta stories that we forgot to take a proper photo that day, argghhh. The girls gave Papa their handmade card, and both drew the same picture of Hina, a character from this japanese anime that Papa recommended them - Weathering with You. Hahaha the girls have grown to be so crazy over japanese animes ever since Papa recommended them Your Name and Weathering with You! 

On the last week of the holidays, dear and I brought the girls together with dabao's friends for ice skating! This was something new for meimei, but she didn't really skate since she was sitting on this seal skating aid and Papa was pushing her around the rink all the time, hahaha, no wonder Papa was sweating profusely even though the place was so cold. Glad that dabao enjoyed the session with her close friends too, they were all struggling to keep their balance at first but dabao got better and more confident subsequently, although she came back home with lots of blisters and blue blacks after that. Other than this ice skating trip, dabao actually went out with other friends this holiday too, I must say she's no longer the anti social girl anymore! 

The last outing we had was an evening drive to town for the iLight display. In the end, what's most memorable was probably us looking for toilet and also meimei wearing her pyjamas walking around MBS, lol. But I did like the beautiful water and light show outside MBS. Nice conclusion to our June holidays!!
