Dearest Little Skyler,
As Mama had to go meet her group for a discussion today, Papa had to bring you out on our own. Papa decided that you should meet up with children about your own age to learn how to play with them so Papa asked if we could visit Uncle Boon Cheng and Aunty Jessie. Uncle Boon Cheng is one of Papa’s good friends from when he was Papa’s colleague. He has transferred to another school for about two years already but Papa still keeps in touch with him. Aunty Jessie was also Papa’s colleague and she also transferred to another school. But she has stopped working for a couple of years already as she wants to bring up her two children by herself – very much like Mama.
Uncle and Aunty have two children already – Kor Kor Joel and Che Che Grace. Che Che Grace is only two months older than you. When we were pregnant with you, Uncle Boon Cheng gave us lots of advice as they already had Kor Kor Joel and Aunty Jessie was then pregnant with Che Che Grace.
Anyway, we spent the afternoon with Uncle Boon Cheng and Kor Kor and Che Che. I think you enjoyed yourself playing with the two of them as they had many toys that they shared with you. I think it was also fun for you as you could play with people your age rather than just with Papa. Uncle Boon Cheng also gave you some bear-shaped biscuits and you enjoyed them tremendously! I think they had apple and cinnamon in them.
Mama joined us later at Uncle Boon Cheng’s in the afternoon after she had completed her group discussion. Aunty Jessie had also come back by then.
After we left Uncle and Aunty, we went over to the Night Safari. This was the first time that we had brought you to the Night Safari.
We got to the Night Safari a bit later in the night and at the entrance we managed to catch the tail end of a performance so we paused to watch it. They featured a few fire-eaters who blew great streams of fire! It was quite exciting. You were totally captivated by the performance.
We decided that we should go join the queue to watch the animal performances as Papa and Mama had never caught it before. The queue was so long! We had to join the queue immediately upon entering as it was a very popular show. Thus, we ended up in the queue for almost thirty minutes. We had to wait for the previous performance to end and for the crowd to disperse before we could go in. Mama and Papa were so worried that the heat generated by the crowd of people would make you uncomfortable but we decided to try. We would have left if you had shown any sign of distress but you were totally fine throughout the wait.
The performance was quite interesting and the host was quite good, I think. We saw many of the nocturnal animals doing their usual things but it was great as we could see it close up. We also had a big owl fly right above our heads and the Night Safari performers had put a big python in the crowd! It was all quite fun.
After the performance, we took a walk around the Night Safari proper. We saw all kinds of nocturnal animals. Some of them were hunting while others were just lazing around. As there were a lot of slopes, it was quite tiring. And as it was quite late, we had to leave half way through. You had already started falling asleep along the way anyway.
It had been a long time since we had come to the Night Safari. It was fun to have brought you along for the trip.
We love you, Little One!
