Weekend Moments... (Updated with Pix)
My Primary 1 niece is at such an adorable age now (for Primary School going kids, that is)... She is at a stage where she is the oldest at home, but the youngest at school. Learning things of life, learning to explore, learning to share.
It's hard to explain, but I find some of her actions/antics extremely adorable. I was attempting to wash my toilet when they visit on Saturday, and she, being a Primary 1, seemed pretty curious about the "fun" I am having, and was ever so eager to help me move things in/out of the toilet.
There are moments when I caught her in deep thoughts, and then broke into a smile. When we were shopping in Daiso at Plaza Singapura, she'd join in the decision making when I was trying to decide which Christmas ornament/decorations to purchase (yes, they are now available! :) The way she reasons, and then conclude with "aiyah, buy 2 lor!" in mannerism like ours, it makes me smile. Then there are the moments when she will ask me questions like, "Sanyi, why are you not married huh?" Or when my sister related to me on how the Big Niece told her to go upstairs and get money to buy drinks to 2 of her sister's friends, while the Gu-gu take care of them. The friends (kindergarten kids) had outrightly asked my sister to buy them drinks (their mother was not around and their maid didn't bring the money) because they were thirsty. And Big Niece was so generous to want to buy them drinks.
Such childlike innocence. She is learning to think for others and being the "big sister". And just like us adults, sometimes, she wanted too much to give, which sometimes, may not be the best solution.
It's just lovely to see her learning to handle things in life in tiny ways.

Sunday morning, I woke up praising God for a haze-free morning. Mom had commented the night before that if the haze gets worse, she ain't going to church. I was thinking the same too But God thought otherwise :)
As I walked to the worship venue (Yes, I walk to church nowadays :), I am constantly reminded that without the haze, we woudn't appreciate clean clear air. Just like without the hazy season I was going through last August, I wasn't able to see clearly where I should head to spiritually. And now, it's getting clearer.
After service, I had a (I would consider) long chat with a lady who is also from PC. We exchange our thoughts about PC and basically it was a good time to catch up with her and find out about the what and who happenings since they've left PC.
Then, wanting to celebrate the haze free day, I sms PA and ask her if she want to hang out. While waiting for her reply, I went to Great World City and bought 2 pairs of shoes. Hehehe...
Met PA and JU at the later part of Sunday and join them to finalise details with the bar where they will be having their solemnisation. Went for a quick walk atVivioVivo City before that, and was very impressed by the "decks" of the shopping mall overlooking to Sentosa. Beautiful!

Left: The 2-level decks! They go on and on... I think I am beginning to like this place!
Right: View of the ground from 2nd level deck. There's so much S P A C E!!
It was at Sentosa that I was unofficially named as the wedding coordinator. I had suggested to the couple that they should have someone to oversee the whole event so that they wouldn't gabra on the actual day. On suggestion by the bar owner, they named me their coordinator. :P So, I will be busy again even after I had finished my freelance and cardmaking stints :P
Dinner time, we met two other friends for a sumptuous crab dinner, at where else? Of course, Melben. Pictures below will tell you the story. :)
1) Sea Asparagus, 2) Chilli Crab (not their best crab dish though), 3) BUTTER CRAB! Yummy!
1) Veggies (Xiao Bai Cai), 2) Pork Ribs in Lotus Leaf (they taste better cooked Mongolian style), 3) Man Tou (Buns, deep fried), 4) Fried Toufu
So there you go. A busy week for an enjoyable weekend. It was a blast! :)
