Painful Family Dinner

Ah yee and Uncle C left for home yday night. Somehow, I didn't feel like I have spent enuff time with ah yee and I duno when will be the next time that I would see her again. If I get to go for my global meeting at the end of the year, I could probably sneak a day or 2 with her. If the meeting falls nicely during the school break, Daddy Lim and the kids could come along. However, we would be sure to fly them direct to Paris this time. Geneva is sure not an exciting place for kids.

We had a family dinner at JP on Thursday night. Lil Isaac was already in JP with Popo. Daddy Lim and I picked Lil Shauna up from school to join the rest for dinner at 7pm. 

Lil Isaac was probably tired and was not cooperative. He was whinny and squirmish and not at all behaving. Daddy Lim almost discipline him and he finally sat down to have his dinner at the promise of kinnect game back home. He refused to partake in the family photo and even fell asleep after dinner while still at the restaurant.

Lil Shauna was fine when we picked her up from school but started complaining of this calf pain upon arrival in JP. She was still jumping around when she saw the 3Fs but was reduced to a pitiful lump shortly after we were in the restaurant. She was tearing and complaining about painful calf, chill and a headache. Then she started limping like she had the most serious calf injury in her life. I must say that her acting seemed pretty lousy. Lol. Lil Shauna was definitely feeling bad/ pain/ whatever but I was also quite sure that the pain wasn't as bad as she made it seemed. She was even willing to be carried by my brother out of the restaurant and Daddy Lim carried her all the way to the car.   

As a result, the dinner didn't proceed very smoothly with the all the wayang from the 2 kids. Luckily, our family was at one end of the long table and I hope we didn't disrupt the joyous mood too much. In the last picture with ah yee and Uncle C, we still couldn't see Lil Isaac’s face bcos he was sleeping and miserable Lil Shauna didn't want to partake.  

Back home, the grumpy tiger was awaken. There was quite some crying in the showers but he ended up happy bcos he played kinnect for a good half an hour with ah yee and Uncle C. I had some difficulty tucking him to bed eventually. As for the little girl, she came down with a fever, which explained why she was feeling so bad. She went to bed after a dose of medicine and was still running a low temperature on Friday morning. Poor baby. But she got to skip school and I heard that she was totally enjoying herself with lazing around and TV watching. Ah... This one knows how to enjoy life.
