If there's anything to highlight, it's this! Due to our running of parenting classes with our church, we have been trying to go out just the two of us over the last 2 months. With some incredible coincidence and quick decision making, we got hold of 2 tickets to see the famous King & I musical by Rodgers and Hammerstein. This was last Saturday.
As nearly all our dates go, there's plenty of excitement and drama attached. We were pleasantly surprised by a our close family friend (we are STILL shocked at their generosity!) who insisted in lending us their car. Not any car, but a soft top, zoom-zoom Mazda MX5. With pure glee and somewhat sheepish air, we drove (Alex did) the car through the crawling car packed polluted Orchard road to reach our final destination at the 'durian' performing arts complex of Singapore, only to be held up by the fireworks crowd and traffic.
With only 30mins to spare, we attempted to get a decent meal (you know? the kind that says it's a date!) but ended up gulfing down cups of corn kennel (concert snacks) and a couple of grilled chicken wings before rushing into the concert hall. The show was magical and very familiar as I felt like I knew it all my life. I hummed and wobbled my head the entire time but found it truly torturous to sit down for such a long time (moms don't sit down for long nowadays). The show ended about 11pm.
Unsatisfied gastronomically, we went in search of food to 'top' us up as well as avoid the mass exodus of cars and crowds. Alex has a strawberry crepe while I just had a Cammomile tea. In amidst the 10mins of food hunting, my dear husband managed to offend me and I retaliated by NOT EATING!!! In hindsight, that was DUMB. I should have asked to go to the most expensive restaurant to order Lobster or Caviar..... (long story!)
All in all, we drove home under the stars, cruise through the now quiet city then quickly put the top up as we banked into yet another traffic jam. Girls stayed over at our friends place and apparently had a ball. We went over first thing in the morning only to find them IGNORING us on arrival....
## Quick Update: Mathena (Age 3) will be taking her 50m swimming test soon as she's been doing extensively well at it. Letitia is enjoying learning all and more about the Human Body while dipping her fingers on Magic tricks etc. Alex has been recognised for his dilligent and pro-active work in his company thus been rewarded with more projects, more staff (not really a good thing) and more hours at work, Sigh! We are still facilitating GKGW at church and feeling VERY humbled with it though quite settled in church. We are now back to the basic 4 in the house until September where family will start arriving for our Miss No 2's highly awaited 4th Birthday. That's all folks! Will TRY to post more frequently!##
