What a wonderful Saturday we had! After Matthew had his afternoon nap and milk, we made our way to Xiao Gui Lin at Bt Gombak (Little Guilin, a "miniature" replica of the world renowed Guilin in Guangzhou, China).

We decided not to drive. Instead we took a good 8-minute-walk to Bt Batok MRT Station. At first Matthew wasn't sure about the MRT ride. After a while, he was ok and screaming in delight. But it was only a stop away, so it ended too quickly.

We walked to Xiao Gui Lin. Along the way, Matthew entertained himself by looking at the vehicles that were passing by. He took special interest in the buses, motorcycles and bicycles. He saw birds and made noise. Nothing interesting to talk about Xiao Gui Lin. There were no buses to Bt Batok MRT Station, so we walked back to Bt Gombak MRT Station.


We decided to have an early dinner at West Mall's Sakae Sushi. We have never brought Matthew to a restaurant for dinner before. We decided on Sakae Sushi, because it was more convenient and there was a variety of food. I thought that we would be out of there in half an hour. Matthew was at his best behaviour and both Mike and I could finish our dinner. We stayed there for more than an hour! We were pleasantly surprised!

So while I fed Matthew his dinner, Mike had some sushi. We kept Matthew occupied with his books and a spoon. He finished his dinner in double quick time and while Mike fed him banana, I had some sushi. Matthew played with his spoon (actually biting) and we ordered more food.



This little outing at Sakae Sushi boosted my confidence and I think we would be bringing him out with us for dinner more often from now on. Yuppie, Hippie, Hip Hip Hooray!!! fun at Sakae Sushi - video clip
