Life's simple pleasure

Our Friday evening was casual.. I picked Alvis baby up early and headed to town. Hubby Love was finishing work at 9pm, so me and A had 2+ hours to ourselves.

We first went to the Taka Toy Fair and it was crowded. The shoppers there were not considerate at all. There was this man who was blocking a narrow passageway and Alvis baby tried to move to the other side to take a look at some toy trucks, he looked at A and didn't move. Even after Alvis baby said pretty loudly "Mommmy, I can't pass leh", the man still remained motionless. I had to "Excuse Me" rudely then he walked away.

Because of the crowd, I brought A to Level 3 Toys Department. It was much more peaceful there. He was very attracted to The Sylvanian Family toy set, just like me when I was little. (Actually now I still like to look at the display each time I go to Taka :P) He stood there watching the display for the longest time, explaining to me what each section was, it was heart-warming. My little baby has grown to a young toddler who communicates with us actively. Everyday we definitely will have something about him to discuss and laugh together. Life like this is simply wonderful.

He got tired at 8.30pm already. Because I didn't bring the stroller out as I picked him up from work, we sat at a bench while waiting for Daddy during that last 30mins. We cuddled and watched Pocoyo on my iPhone. He giggled at some funny scenes and the man sitting next to us was amused by his laughters too.

He was the happiest to see Daddy out of the boutique. We went to Newton to pack some food and every sinful bit of calories is now in my stomach. Haha.. But I had vaccuumed and mopped the floor, hopefully most of it were shed off. :P

As much as I am loving Hubby's schedule this week, it is going to come to an end already. We were so pampered this week, the ferrying to and fro, I couldn't appreciate enough. When Daddy has to work afternoon shift next week, we know that we will miss evening time with him but I have not became less independent to bring Alvis baby home on my own, because my dearest papa will always be there. :)

Definitely gonna treasure the weekend very much. Tomorrow morning we will be going to Henderson Waves and I still have not decided on where to lunch. Will be home for Alvis baby to nap while I prepare his dinner. Scheduled to have his dinner at home at 5pm as we need to meet 6pm at Punggol with Hubby's secondary school classmates. He hasn't seen them for god-knows-how-many-donkey-years, haha! I know he is excited and looking forward, I am too. Hope it will be a good gathering.

Would most likely be going Fidgets on Sunday, and/or might be bringing Alvis baby to watch Despicable Me in cinema. I am still not sure to expose him to movie or not. :X But heard that it's only a short one, maybe we could just give it a try. :)

Anyhow, it is gonna be a good weekend for us. My hardworking hubby had washed both toilets and is now cleaning the car. Hope he will be back soon to rest.

I love how we sat down and eat together, talked about anything over food. That few minutes spent together sharing things we know with each other, makes however long and tiring a day worth it all.
