Tonight my niece and nephew had 5 "highs" for the day. After work, brought them out for a short while, but it was a "high" outing for them.
First "high" - brought them to the library which they enjoyed running and searching for books to borrow, and also I read a few interesting books to them.
2nd "high" - after that, gave them a choice of their favourite places for dinner. They chose Yoshinoya excitedly, because they simply love the prawn fritters there. Also ordered for them the teriyaka chicken and beef rice set complete with soup and their favourite chilled soya bean milk.
3rd "high" - after dinner, brought them to the department store which had the Hush Hush brand in a corner which has a kids play and TV area. They played Lego and watched Mr Bean in cartoon. I knew that this little play area was one of their favourite haunts.
4th "high" - brought them to the toys section where they "wooh" and "wah" and "ah" about the toys they like and discover the latest toys in town. Saw the "Littlest Pets" and their eyes shone brightly. So I told them they could each choose one little pet to "take care of". Raee chose a little white rabbit with a cute pink basket that comes with a milk bottle and comb. Raegan chose a little black cat with a little hamster that comes with a hollow plastic ball which the hamster can play in.
5th "high" - last stop: McDonalds for milkshake! They have relaunched their milkshake after more than a decade hiatus. So the kids had been wanting to try the strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavours. So I bought all 3 flavours and they happily slurped and sipped them up while in the car on the way back.
Suddenly they turned to me and said: "thank you, yee yee!! thank you for everything!! thank you for buying us all the things!! thank you thank you ......!" Such innocent remarks made my day. No matter how poor I may be or how sad I may be at any point, I am ever willing to splurge on them. Because ...they are kids only once.
