Me and my bright idea! I thought it would be good if we could do something distinctively “Chinese New Year-ish” so I suggested a trip down River Hong Bao. We set off early as usual and took a leisurely walk from Raffles City to River Hong Bao. It was a little sunny but still manageable because it was early. Unfortunately (as usual), we found ourselves staring at closed gates (opened only after 12 pm) when we finally reached there. Thus, we had to do a last minute Plan B – Esplanade Mall.
By the time we were there, the kids were tired, hot and cranky, especially Alfee. I was quite exhausted myself. We settled down at a café and fed Sophie some cupcake (which pacified her immediately) and let Alfee nap a little. Then we explored the food court and got some lunch before we shopped around a little. Papa said this is the best mall we have got in Singapore and I was not too impressed. Still, it is huge and there are many shops. Anyhow, we made our way to River Hong Bao (reluctantly due to the heat) and spent a little while (15 minutes) going around the exhibits. Frankly, I am disappointed. It is not even close to what the media has portrayed it. Maybe it’s just me but I think it is not worth going at all.
Back home, I tried doing some work with Sophie while Alfee made his presence felt . He really distracted Sophie and made it hard for all of us to do work. I guess I have to wait for him to be old enough to join in the WORK!
