I had my hair done yesterday, after work. The curls were dying out and so I permed it again. And the hubs took the opportunity to bring K to see his parents and had dinner with them. But he was good, he was home by 8:30pm.

And this morning, we attended a Parent-Teacher's meeting in K's childcare. My concerns about her writing her letters in mirror image has been put to rest and thankfully, the teachers have good things to say about her.  

After the session, we had our breakfast, then hubs went to buy 5 packets of mix chicken rice for lunch and we went to pick up the 3 siblings and headed to the zoo. Because everything in the zoo is expensive and we have the 3 siblings in tow, it was a brilliant idea to packet lunch. Lol.

Pre-K, I used to bring the eldest sibling out quite a fair bit and the sister too. The middle one was way too naughty then so he always had to stay home. Even before I met the hubs, I used to bring Tim out during his school holidays. But of course this has all changed. Tim is working and has a girlfriend now. And my precious leave is to be kept for 'emergencies'. Although the hubs initiated bringing Esther along, the 2 other brothers ended up joining as well.

There was an activity going on in the zoo, which we paid for K to participate in with E. But we learnt not to do this anymore in future because it really takes away the joy of strolling through the vast area and makes us want to race against time to complete the activities. The rain didn't help either. We had to wait out the rain, which didn't really stop in a sheltered rest area. Thankfully, we could have our packet lunch there.

We missed all the animal shows and quite a bit if exhibits. K slept in the car even when we sent the 3 siblings back. The 3rd SIL was so kind to include our share for dinner and even wanted to send it to our home but K was up by then. So we headed back to their place for dinner. Which was good because K got to eat bak zhang, a festivity that her Chinese teacher was sharing with them about. 

As usual, K was enjoying herself sitting by the dining table, eating away from bak zhang, almonds, guava and then jelly. I think her little tummy will protrude again if she starts going there on a more regular basis. Lol....
