Last Saturday was Cayden's first attempt to attend music class. Unfortuantely it didn't go well because he was very affected by his "classmate" cries. He cried when "classmate" cried. Haiz...! Anyways, after the music class, Uncle Sam and I brought Cayden to Marina Square for a quick round of shopping before meeting up with Grandpa, Grandma, Aunty Yangming and Uncle Ryan. We brought Cayden to Fox Baby boutique and picked some clothes for him since there was 40% discount. It was a pity that we wasn't aware that Fox Baby has been selling infant shoes for less than $23 a pair. There are no more sizes available for Cayden to try as much as we would like him to because the designs of the shoes were simply adorable and cute!
Saturday happened to be Aunty Yangming's convocation too and we gatecrashed the session. Little did we know Saturday happens to be one of the NDP rehearsals. Carpark lots at Marina Square were largely reserved for NDP purposes and roads and parts of shopping malls around that area were closed down temporarily for a few hours for the NDP Performing Entourage to prepare themselves before the rehearsal.
We had dinner at Sakae Sushi with Grand Aunty Choo. Take alook at how Grandma idolizes his grandson!
After dinner, Uncle Sam recommended all to walk over to Esplanade to catch a glimpse of airshow or helicopter with the National Flag. Cayden's first NDP preview wasn't too bad. He caught the airshow as well as fireworks! As expected, he was literary put off by the loud sound coming from the fighter planes as well as fireworks' explosions.
As part of the rehearsal finale, there was a near 10 minute fireworks (performance split into three segments within the time frame). At the end of the fireworks, we noticed two very patriotic citizens who were tearing while the national anthem is being played! Being the very patriotic locals, we stood still till the national anthem finishes and we realised that Uncle Ryan was not exactly crying because he was touched by all the NDP performances but his right eye was irritated by the explosives particles that flew into his eyes! To my dismay, I realised the provision of first aid for NDP preview participants was limited to just superficial injuries. We ended the outing by making a 10 minute stop at SGH A&E ward's carpark. Uncle Ryan no longer felt discomfort in his eye and we all returned back to Clementi. It was indeed a memorable day!
