Dora the Explorer

27/11/2007 Tues

The sky was ominous looking and our plans of taking train was dashed. Instead I found myself having to call for a cab and found none even after 2 attempts of calling. In the end managed to get an Smrt cab and found out that it was pouring all over Singapore except in Sengkang.

We reached United Square at 11.10 and while waiting for Vic and QQ, the kids played with the lights on the floor where they try to catch the images. After they arrived, we went out to see the Xmas tree and then went to have lunch. The last time we came here together was last year for the Barney Show and we had forgotten how it was like. Only after lunch we realised our mistake; we should have sent Umi to queue earlier. In the end, we went to have ice-cream at Ben and Jerry on the 3 rd level and had a bird's eye view of the show.

Meryl fell straight asleep as usual once we boarded the taxi and woke up for milk when we reached home. Kyle refused to sleep and played with his toys and read books. Tagu joined us for dinner and we watched Goerge of the Jungle on cable. The kids played on their scooters and bicyles outside the corridor but headed back at 9 to watch their favorite show, Tom and Jerry. At bedtime, Meryl refused to let me go and wanted me to stay in the room with her. In the end I let her sleep in our room where she fell asleep contentedly.
