Da Yi's Birthday

Today is Pris's birthday. To celebrate her birthday, we decided to meet for lunch & shopping at Vivocity. She wanted to bring my mum to Vivocity to have a look as my mum had not been there since its opening.

When Daryl woke up, it seems that he had gotten up from the wrong side of the bed. He was crying when he woke up instead of his smiley self. Hmm... that's not a very good start to our day. I had to carry him so that he would stopped crying. When I had to leave our room to attend to my client's call, he cried even louder. Kel & Asty couldn't pacify him at all. He only stopped when I came back into the room & carried him. He's such a mummy's boy... :p

As we need to shower Daryl, we took off his pyjamas & diaper. He protested very loudly when we did that. When we shower him, he cried. He only stopped when I carried him in my lap after his shower. Then Kel decided to comb his hair to distract him. The result...

Pris wanted to have lunch @ Sushi Tei, thus we decided to meet at the entrance. When she & my mum reached the entrance at about 11.15am, they found out that they were too early as Sushi Tei only opens at 11.30am. Therefore, they decided to go out of the building to look at the seaview. It was there where we found them when we arrived. Since it was still early, we decided to take some pics.

Then it was time to have lunch already. While waiting for our food, we took some pics again.

Lunch at Sushi Tei was horrible! They actually forgot about our order for our main courses. Can you believe that? They only realised it when we complained about how late our main courses are. The customers at the tables beside us who came in later than us are already finishing their main courses wherelse ours have not even arrived yet. To top it off, the attitude of the manager whom we complained to sucks big time. Thus, we decided to award Sushi Tei a spot in our "List of Banned Eating Places".

Halfway through our lunch, Mum brought Daryl out to walk so that we can have our lunch in peace. When we finished our lunch, they were still not back yet. So we waited... & waited... & waited... Then we got worried as it's been a while already. We were afraid that Mum would be lost. We decided to ask for the bill & went to search for them. We kinda of panicked when we couldn't find them outside the restaurant. Then I got a brainwave... Toys R Us is nearby, so I have a feeling that they would be inside.

True enough, Kel found the 2 of them inside Toys R Us. It seems that Daryl had pulled Mum inside so that he can play with the cars there. It seems that our baobei is becoming a car lover as he loves to play with cars of all sizes. Mum said that whenever Daryl saw a car, he would stopped & played with it for a while. The funniest thing is, when he got tired of playing with a particular car, he would actually put it back in its orginal place when my mum asked him to do so. Mum was very impressed!

Kat called Pris when we were at Toys R Us. She had reached Vivocity already, thus she wants to know where to meet us. Pris told her to meet us at Toys R Us. When she arrived, we went shopping. One of our stops was the Nike boutique. Daryl was in heaven there as there was a Mac PC for him to fiddle with. Here's a pic of him with Mum while he was fiddling with the PC. See how happy he is...





















Our shopping was kinda of marred by Daryl coz he was quite notti today. He refused to walk & kept wanting me to carry him. When he walked, he refused to follow us or listened to our instructions. I even smacked him coz I was so fed up with him. Since he was not cooperative, we decided to cut our shopping trip short & headed for home together with Mum, Pris & Kat. Before doing that, we went shopping at Giant to pick up some groceries so that I can prepare dinner for them later.

During dinner, I was complaining to Mum about how notti Daryl is. She said something which got me thinking. She replied that Daryl is not even 2 years old, thus I can't expect him to be well behaved as he doesn't even know what is considered good behaviour. Mum got me thinking whether I am asking for too much from Daryl. With this thought, I resolved to be more patient with Daryl even though he drives me up the wall at times.

At about 7.15pm, Mum, Pris & Kat decided to leave for home as Pris & Kat still got to work tommorrow. I hope that Pris had a nice birthday even though her nephew is such a brat. Happy Birthday!!
