The receptionist and I attended a cocktail event at a hotel's re-branding yesterday. We were only there for the food, really. Lol...The hotel used to organise appreciation evenings and we always enjoyed the spread and free beer/wine but yesterday's food was a little bit of a disappointment. But we did have some fun at the photo booth.

And today, I am solo-parenting during the day because the hubs has a strategic meeting at the workplace. Ever since K was born, the hubs has cut down a lot on travelling, golfing and of course our couple time has been compromised. But of course nothing beats having our own little family together.

After doing K's laundry, I brought her down to check out a carnival that was going on. Well, it was actually the official launch of a green print program happening in our estate and there were a line-up of activities happening. We were late but we managed to catch the exhibition, saw a 'bubble-master' in action with crazy huge and long bubbles, played with the old school type of carnival games and even helped ourselves to a buffet spread. K met her classmate at the bubble area and the both of them were having so much fun playing while I chatted with her classmate's parents. They are really the only parents we connected with and in fact, the only one we invited over to K's birthday party at our place in March. So the 2 of them are almost inseparable.

When the other family had to go, K and I walked further and played games like throwing the horseshoe round the hoop, throwing plastic food into the chef's pan, throw hoops into stands etc. Really old school but good fun. And look what we hauled back from all those tries! It was a good thing that we were down late as they were closing up and were trying to clear their stock of tidbits!

There were not too many people left either so when we walked over to the CC, there wasn't much people at the buffet area at all. K and I were able to even find a bench to sit down and she had 2 servings of noodles! 

We went back home after a short trip to the market to get a mop-head and were back home again where K bathed a 2nd time because she had all those soapy solution from the bubbles all over her. She napped, too short and I managed to mop the house.

In the early evening, we took a ride in the double-decker towards the hubs' office because we had invited the youngest SIL and her parents to dinner. Mainly because her mother has resigned from her job of many, many years to prepare for the birth of another grandchild. She had been very nice to us, cooking for us when we stayed over at the youngest BIL's place in between our house move 1 year ago.  So we wanted to give her a farewell dinner of sorts before she returns for good to Malaysia. And because this deprived K hardly takes public transport, she was asking for it. 

We reached our destination in less than 20 minutes! And the hubs drove out to pick us up. When it's time to scrap the car next year, all these information is important because the hubs is so used to commuting by car, I need to prepare him for what to expect. I'm impressed by the fast bus ride really!
