Joanne, Tarek and Rayhan popped in for lunch on Friday, I made a simple pasta dish and Arlyn helped fry some chicken wings. It was the second time Nat was seeing them in a week but she was so super shy around the adults, seeming to have lost her voice.
It wasn't until she was alone with the baby and Arlyn that she started being more herself. Joanne had some new bling, a belated push present in the form of a 1.5ct trilogy ring...nice ice!
Nick was away in Manila, it was a good opportunity for me to bond with Nat the last few days. She was pretty well-behaved, no tantrums etc and co-operative during naps and bedtime. In fact, she slept by 9.15pm on the 2 nights I had her but once Nick was home, she was back to being 'manja'.
Yesterday morning, Ben picked us up to go swimming at Wendy's brother's place. The weather was cool and so was the pool, thus the munchkin was reluctant to get wet. It took ages for her to even stand on a step, in the end I had to change and get in the water with her because she refused to go to anyone else. She resisted the float and ended up just splashing water at everyone else from the edge of the pool.
Lunch was at Thomson Plaza, had my special fried bee hoon and bought 4-D. Damn, the number Nat picked on her birthday has come out as starter or consolation prize 3 times in the past week, in different permutations but I didn't roll or buy i-Bet!
When I got home, I discovered the doorknob to my purple room was jammed. Had to call and wait for a locksmith, thus missing Melissa's McDonald's party that evening as I couldn't access my clothes and make-up! By the time the door was fixed, it was too late to attend the party so me and Nat, plus Ma and Arlyn went to Marina Square for dinner then to the River Hongbao at The Float.
Nat was curious about all the lights and sounds, must have been pretty overwhelming from her perspective. We didn't stay too long, Nick came to pick us up en route from the airport after he managed to get an earlier flight.
After putting Nat to bed, the Dopes came to pick us up in their new wheels. Yes, the C4 has finally arrived after an almost 5 month wait, love the moon roof! Went to meet some of the cousins at Pasir Ris Park, at a restaurant/bar called Mid-Summer Breeze. Felt like we were in Bali for a moment, sitting by the beach and just chillin'.
Had my first yu sheng toss of this CNY at Ben's place earlier, even Nat joined in with a spoon...she must have been wondering what we were doing!
