Labour Day

Dearest Skyler,

It was a public holiday today. It's Labour Day - a day the nation has set aside to reflect on how much the workers of our country have achieved and where we are now - just a brief idea of why we have this holiday. :p

We'd planned a busy day for ourselves. We headed for the beach at Pasir Ris. Before we got there, we came across a big signboard that showed something called the Aqua-Fauna centre. We decided to stop by to take a look. We managed to find it and discovered that it was together with this thing called Kids' Kampong. We went in to take a look.

They had set up a few features for kids to catch fish using nets and fishing rods. Kids could also feed fish and bunnies. That's what we did ... Feed the bunnies. :D Papa had to carry you and you managed to put the pellets right into the bunnies' mouths! :D We also visited the ducks and birds. :D

After that, we headed to the Pasir Ris beach. We went there to build sandcastles as you'd been asking for that for some time. It was very very hot so we left in a few minutes. We'd brought our picnic mat and your pail, shovels and moulds for your sandcastle. We packed up and headed to Grandma's when we couldn’t take the heat anymore.

We bought food up to Grandma's for lunch. You had a shower there and after lunch you jumped around a bit on Grandma's bed. You were so sleepy you fell asleep in Papa's arms later on. We had stayed there for some time and that was why you were so sleepy. Poor Darling!

After we left Grandma's, we headed to S'pore Expo; there was an MPH book fair. Mama bought books for you. You were so sleepy still, you didn't want to hang around so we went out to get you a Milo. We then went back to look for Mama. You were so sleepy that you fell asleep in Papa's arms and you couldn't get up. Thus, you slept all the while Papa was in the queue to make payment.

After we had paid, we went to get some refreshments. You had an egg tart. :D

After that, we went to Bedok hawker centre to get dinner. We'd wanted to do that for lunch but we hadn't had time. We brought it over to Tai-po's to eat.

We went to Tai-Po's place for a visit. 4th and 5th Yee-Po's stay there too. It took you awhile to warm up to them but you did. You played with their soft toy animals and wandered around their place. But you didn't eat much of dinner though.

We headed home after that. What a long day it had been!

Papa and Mama love you!
