Makeover on 4 Aug

Today is the day I felt strongly that I have to do something about an outstanding issue - Rynae's long hair. She's been refusing to let my MIL tie her hair and ended up with patches of rashes across her shoulder and back. Remember last failed attempt to cut her hair? I'm gonna be more shrewd and scheming this time and make sure I succeed. I began sweet talk and preempted her on her salon visit. On the way to the hairdresser, she choosed a pack of tidbits and i gladly paid for her. She was waited on like a queen during the 10 min of hair cut with my MIL feeding her bite after bite of her tidbits and the hairdressor working on her hair. Quite cooperative... surprisingly.

Wild Wild Wet @ Clarke Quay on 29 July

We've run out of ideas on interesting places to visit that are child friendly, not too far off and hopefully new and engaging. We visited Square 2 last week and contemplated on the outing venue almost the whole morning. I've proposed countless times to east coast park but was jolly gun down cus of the recent dengue outbreak. Finally, we decided on Chinatown for today's outing. Yeah..what an exciting place right? Why? Cannot go there rekindle our cultural roots meh? Actually we wanna bring Joe's parents to the much talked about Buddha Tooth Relic Temple to errm.... look at the tooth! Kidding la. The temple's a ravishing hybrid of tradition and modenity. Didn't manage to see the heavily guarded tooth though. We proceeded to Clarke Quay where Rynae finally succumbed to her tiredness and fell alseep in her pram. I enjoyed a good 1 hr of shopping in Central while Joe and his parents chilled out at the Singapore River bank. Within walking distance, we crossed over to Clarke Quay. The massive nips and tucks this night spot has under gone totally bedazzled me. It gave the once dead tourist hub a new lease of life and to me, is every cents worth. Rynae requested to play in the fountain and we gave her permission to 'touch' the water. But never expect a child to keep their promise lah! Anyway, we're glad she enjoyed herself.
