Recently, I had joined SG cares.. This is my first balloon sculpting workshop from 7pm to 9pm. As first timer I feel a bit worry.. but this feeling gone after we entering to the center.. they are very friendly. Sabrina and I could mix around with them. Sabrina's very sociable, she could making friends on her own. This workshop will teach how to make "Dog,Tulip and Sword. I saw one 哥哥 helping to teach Sabrina how to make "Dog". and I am too busy doing my own balloon sculpting and I totally forgot about Sabrina..

Emotional or Highly Sensitive Child ?

Image
No ballet lesson due to teacher on training course. after swimming lesson we headed to Bishan Library. She was reading this story book " I miss Ah kong". suddently, I saw Sabrina was rubbing her eyes..the story make Sabrina cry. Sabrina told me "Ah Kong very sick and dies" and Ah Hwee missed Ah kong. after I give her a "hug" told her is just a story. This is not the first time she cry because of the sad story. She cried when she was 2/3 year after the sad story from me. I am not sure whether is this a good point ? mean "she is kind hearted". or mean her good understand skill ? or good vocab? Again, she cried when she watching "Beauty and the beast"

Sabrina learn a new tricks on her bicycle , she could cycle from back seat. Sabrina's growing up taller. she could handle her bicycle very well, but this bicycle look a bit too small for her. I was thinking buying one bigger bicycle for Sabrina, so that she could cycling to school next year. Sabrina agree to sell away her bicycle but she was asking me not to buy those kiddy type anymore. and her bicycle sold off to one punggol mummy @$40.

Sports day finished at 10.00am.. Sabrina and I went home shower and changed.. We have plan go for our first family movie "Zookeeper" So many years we did not go for movie...partly also because Sabrina doesn't like to be in the dark room. We have our lunch at Manhattan ,,they have value set lunch @ $7.90+++, you could add$1.50 for soup or $1.50 for salad. after lunch ,we still have about 2hours.. was thinking go visit Istana because I remember they have open house but don know which day ,too bad the security guard told me open house is over.. is on 7 Aug. We met one mummy with 3 children (tourist) asking me.. any places could let them spend their 2 hours before they are flight back to their country. I suggested places like indoor playground at Paragon, forum but they are not interested, they are interested on Zoo, bird park,,, told them the place will needed more time. End up brought them to small pets shop to see "fishes" at B2 and brought them to MRT.
