The hubs and I took the day off yesterday and headed to JB after dropping K off at the childcare centre. We allowed her to sleep in a bit and to have her breakfast at home. It's one of those rare times we send her to school after 9am.

The hubs and I had definite plans and that was to buy lightings for the new house. The hubs forgot to bring his GPS from office, as usual, and somehow we went around in more circles than we usually do without the GPS yesterday. But we did manage to get lightings for the dining area, 2 bathrooms and 2 track lights. The cost is probably half of what we would have to pay here and possibly more! We didn't even have to worry about being asked to pay for GST when we reached customs back here as it was below the allowed amount that we can bring in. The hubs and I even had time after shopping for lights and managed to buy a pair of shoes each.

We left about 4ish to avoid the crowd and so we don't end up being too late in picking K up.

And this morning, we had to wake up earlier than usual as K's school had their annual family Day Event at Gardens By the Bay. We ended the event at the children's waterplay park and K had a great time with 2 of her classmates. 

While the waterplay area was really nice, with piped in music from the various fairy tales, I can't say the same to the children's shower area. The only shower area and indicated on the sign was a shared children's shower area with no partition in between. While ok for younger children, it's not ok for the adults who have to 'play' in the water area with their kid/s. For example, I had to bathe K first while the hubs kept watch over our belongings and when we came out, he and Mavi went to shower and they were showering with naked kids! So the hubs had to turn away and looked at Mavi while both of them washed up, just with their tops off. When Schinde brought Shareen, K's classmate, to shower, she didn't feel comfortable and ended up bringing her to the toilet and made use of a hose that was attached to a tap in 1 of the toilet cubicles. 
Anyhow, the kids enjoyed themselves and it is a nice area. We will probably go there again.

When we reached home, everyone was so knackered that we all had naps. And I am so proud of myself. In spite of being tired, I cooked dinner! And for yesterday evening too!
