I took leave today just to bring my niece and nephew out for the school holidays. My sis could not take leave as she is in a new job. I asked the kids what they would like to do or where to go. Kids beings kids did not know what they want.
So I brought them to the Disney animated movie "Cars" early in the morning. Being a weekday, the cinema was almost empty and the kids got a thrill out of having the whole theatre to themselves. Munching the M&Ms, my nephew suddenly turn to his jiejie and said "Jiejie, we leave some of the M&Ms later for Mama and Gong-gong ok?" I was surprised at this little gregarious boy's little thought for his grandparents in the midst of the movie. Touching.
For lunch I asked what they would like to eat. Again getting a non-descript answer, I took them to the Japanese restaurant knowing they could not refused tempura prawns. What a feast they had! I ordered a big plate of tempura prawns and they ate their sticky rice with sashimi, chawanmushi, saba fish, eggroll sushi. And to top it all off, from the conveyor belt machine, my nephew picked his chocolate cake dessert and my niece mango mousse dessert. I couldn't described the excited grin that they had for the longest time.
After lunch, I brought them to the roof top garden in the mall because there was a playground there. I watched the kids happily running around the swing, the slides etc, and round the water fountain, watching the huge hot-air balloon high up in the sky. I felt real happy hearing their chatter, feeling the burst of their energy.
After playground, brought them to Toys R Us to see the latest toy offerings. They entertained themselves with all the items of their fancy. I had to buy them each something. My niece chose the Hello Kitty doll house she claimed her mommy didn't buy her last birthday. I told her it is a gift to reward her for being the 4th in class during her mid-year exams. Bought my nephew the basketball with net he has been wanting for quite a while too.
As we strolled through the mall, we came across the shop where kids can choose the comic character they like, and paint different colours on it and spreading the paint evenly, after which it is baked in the microwave oven for a few minutes to dry the picture. The boy chose a nice house and girl chose her princess. I helped them with the paints. They love it!
Tonight, I got this sms from my sis "Thanks u for taking leave to bring my kids out. Think they had a great time. I really appreciate that. Thanks sis." It made my day.
