Huat ah! Busy CNY 2020 Part 2

After a late night and a long hard ride, the last thing that I wanted is to wake up early. The kids were merciful enough to allow us to sleep until 9am before Zaky pounced on us declaring that it was time to wake up for bfast.

I had thought that bfast was waiting. Bo leh. The kids had finished everything that Popo made. Chey. Wake us up for what? But that gave Daddy Lim and I the perfect reason to have bfast alone. Hohoho.

We had no program for the day until the late afternoon. While having a peaceful bfast, Ah Yee texted that Zaky had been on his gadget for the entire morning. That is what the kids do when there is nothing to occupy them. So, we baked cookies! We are getting so good at it.

Usually, Zaky will chicken out after a while, going back to his gadget. This time, I made him baked to the end. Towards the end, he was messing up more than helping. Zzzzzz. But we got the cookies done alright.

The Chan Family opened up their house for CNY visitation. Ah Yee and Athena had no program and tagged along. I was very surprised that we can all fit into their place. Not that their place is small but we are all very big now.

Auntie H cleverly "distributed" the small people - the bigger kids took the children's room, the pre-schoolers took the master bedroom, the littlest were on the playmat in the living room.

The bigger kids were happily playing board games and nerds, under Auntie T's watchful guidance.

The adults were the cleverest, sitting around the table where the CNY goodies were and out of the kids' way.

Athena looked like she had a good time too.

There were really so many kids.

Auntie S was trying to get a picture with Athena and finally got a really good one with Lil Shauna's help.

We left at 9pm; the baby needed her sleep. It was way past her bedtime.

Daddy Lim had the go back to work on 初四. I didn't and unfortunately the kids had no school too. Haha. I would have loved spending the day on my own. We ended up dating the Fs to Science Center but no before a delicious lunch at Oppo BBQ.

The kids always managed to self entertain at the Science Center. There was an exhibition on poo poo and Athena was obviously very happy with the toilet bowl brush. Haha.

We wanted to visit the waterworks playground but the kids were barely 5 mins in before the park was closed due to bad weather.

The kids had a fun; I had tired legs. Haha. We ended off with dinner and arcade before finally heading home.

Disclaimer: no baby was harmed in the making.

With that, it marked the end of the long CNY weekend. Huat ah!
