Dearest Little Skyler,
Yet another day that we have to give Mama peace and quiet to study. Thus, Papa decided to take you out to visit Grandma and since today is the Opening Day of the Ikea outlet in Tampines, Papa thought that maybe we could just spend the day there. We went by to pick Grandma up with the intention of having lunch in Ikea.
We managed to get into the car park without too many problems. Papa was quite amused by the fact that they had car park lots meant for families with strollers! Papa had initially thought that the lots were for handicapped drivers but they had a picture of a family with a stroller painted onto the floor!
The place was very crowded as it was Ikea’s opening day. As we were trying to find the way to get in, we bumped into Ah Pek, Che-che Reika and Kor-kor Eujin! They had already done their rounds and were leaving! Anyway, we had to queue for quite some time in the car park before we could make our way into the building proper.
Once we got into the store, we headed straight for the restaurant. It was so overly packed that Papa and Grandma immediately gave up any hope of eating there. The queue just to get into the restaurant stretched beyond what the eye could see! Grandma was already so hungry and Papa felt bad that he had suggested eating there. So, we decided that we should make our way out and head back to Grandma’s place to look for food.
Along the way out, we did a bit of browsing. We realised that the layout was practically the same as the one at Alexandra! There was hardly any difference – even the sequence of the placing of the goods was similar. The only difference was the height of the ceiling; the shelves where the self-collection goods were were so high that Papa couldn’t imagine how the store employees would be able to bring the goods down to the ground level!
Anyway, we finally made our way out and headed back to Grandma’s.
Grandma and Papa had a quick lunch at the coffee shop below Grandma’s block before we headed up to Grandma’s to feed you your afternoon milk feed. After feeding you, Papa was so exhausted that Papa took a nap leaving Grandma to take care of you. It was a nap that Papa needed very badly as Papa had been exhausted bringing you out the whole week for so many hours each day!
After Papa had awakened and fed you your dinner, Papa and you went down to Downtown East Costa Sands Resort to visit his students who were having a chalet stay over and barbecue. They were nearby Grandma’s place so it didn’t take us long to get there.
While we were walking to the chalet from the carpark, guess who we bumped into? It was Che-che Reika once again. Ah Pek had brought both Che-che and Kor-kor there after we had met them at Ikea that morning and they had spent the whole day there.
We finally found the chalet that Papa’s students were staying in and we chatted with a few of them for while. They were totally captivated by you! They kept on playing with you and all the che-ches wanted to carry you and it was so funny because each of them kept on declaring that you liked them the most as you allowed them to carry you! You also played with a couple of the kor-kors. Papa didn’t stay to eat with them as we had to go home by then as Mama was waiting for us for dinner.
As we were heading out of the chalet area, we again bumped into Che-che Reika, then Ah Pek and Kor-kor Eujin. They were also preparing to head home.
After getting dinner, we headed home to Mama.
What a long and tiring day for you, Little One. You experienced so many things that day. And you behaved so well at Papa’s students’ gathering.
We love you, Little Girl!
