West Coast Park

Auntie texted Mama yesterday about Borders weekend sale at Expo and we decided to head there for a shopping spree. Of course Papa was not too thrilled about spending money (again!) in bulk buying spree. Usually, people end up buying a lot of things because their consumption needs are artificially magnified by those companies. And, they will never put the best stuff on sale. In this case, I have to agree with Papa even though I still went ahead and bought 9 books for Sophie at the sale. I was disappointed that they did not carry any of the books that I would like to buy. I suppose they are too costly and popular to be put on sale.

Sophie likes touchy-feely books so we bought her one with her favourite My Friends Tigger and Pooh characters.

After that, we had our favourite beef noodles (no... Sophie ate her cereal and organic fruit puree) for lunch. Papa then suggested West Coast Park for a late afternoon stroll. It is actaully quite a cool place, with a 24-hr McDonalds (drive-through as well) conveniently located next to the carpark.

It was a little too hot for us to linger long but I was quite impressed by the extensive "outward bound" setup for kids over varied ages. Not too good for young toddlers unless they play with the sand at the playground... I checked, quite clean. The seaview is so-so due to the commercial activities and industries.

Maybe we should organise an outing there for the blogger-mummies, we can do McDonalds for lunch after a couple of hours at the playground. Interested anyone?
