Wednesday - Ikea and Orchard night out

We planned a trip to Ikea tampines today as we needed to order the cooker hob to replace our existing one (all things in the house started to break down after 7 years, so far we had recently replaced washing machine, TV, laptop in the last 5 months). We brought Kimi along as she likes to tag along with us during this week when we are on leave.

We decided to let the kids play at the Ikea smallworld (some fun land where parents deposit their children while they do their shopping in peace). Since Ethan is still quite small and it's the first time that he's playing without any adult supervision by his side, PaPa glued his eyes on the younger one the moment he was admitted to the fun land (while Mummy goes shop around the store). The children had a great time playing in the place and were perspiring after abt 40mins when PaPa decided that time is up.

While waiting for their turn - it was quite a long wait considering it's a weekday - it's amazing how many parents are also on leave at the same time!






Ethan started to play iphone again as his comfort pastime-r


We went to orchard for a dinner and stroll after PaPa's dental appt at Paragon. This year's xmas theme is blue and the ambience's looks fairly romantic. But to be honest, after going through so many years on orchard xmas lighting, somehow, I don't see any spectacular displays on shopping malls for me to take a picture as memento.

Dinner at Din Tai Fung - Caden's fav place - he's always happy whenever we decided to eat our meals there



I never had a proper picture with Ethan, he's always cheeky with funny expressions whenever we posed for a pic

refusing to eat after half a bowl of rice, appetite's has been failing lately



We had hokkaido ice-cream at ngee ann city after our dinner. The texture is kinda of special - fairly soft and not too sweet (which makes this ice-cream feels very much less sinful!) but expensive! Worth the try though. Caden and Ethan were given the 2 spoons to take control and they are generous and thoughtful throughout the whole session to share the ice-cream with us (by feeding us with their spoons).





Caden was completely knocked out halfway through and PaPa had to carry him back from taka to wisma carpark - given his weight now, it has been a real challenge to complete this task for the night!
