joshua & his birthday (III)

5 sept.

• We started the day with breakfast at 'Qi Ji', beside Hougang Mall. Joshua boy enjoyed the chee cheong fun & milo. Pappy had nasi lemak, while mahmmy had mee rebus.
• After breakfast, joshua boy went for his long-overdue hair cut.
• Lunch was at 'Bakerinz' Vivo City. Joshua boy loved the pumpkin soup & the creamy mushroom pasta.
• The program for that afternoon was to Gymboree @Harbourfront. Joshua boy attended a trial lesson there when he was abt 16 mth old. We thought that the fees were rather high, and the 45- minutes lesson was a bit strenuous for joshua at that time. Thus we did not register joshua for any classes. That afternoon,we signed up joshua for an hr of play gym, with no structured lesson nor an instructor. He could play with any of the equipment, on his own. Pappy kept him company and enjoyed the fun with him. There were no other kids around that day. Half an hour later, joshua stopped for a drink, and he did not seem too keen to continue. We decided to forgo the session. We made our payment, and left Gymboree for our kopi & roti at Toastbox, Vivo City.

• We had simple dinner at Hanis, Budget Terminal (another favourite makan place), with my parents-in-laws. Joshua was sleeping throughout the journey. He dozed off in the car shortly after we left Vivo City. He was still zzz...zzz...when we went to fetch gong gong & mama at Tampines. He woke up only when we arrived at Hanis. Dinner was fried rice for joshua boy and gong gong, vegetarian bee hoon for mahmmy & pappy, sandwiches for mama.
