First time on the bus
Matthew woke up at 8am yesterday. We sent Papa to office and had breakfast there.
Then we had to go to Mama's office to get a new tin of Enfapro A+, because Mama's brain got holes, forgot to bring home a new tin before she went on leave. Matthew was ok during the trip from Papa's office to Mama's office, but cried all the way home from Mama's office. So poor thing. He wanted to play, not sit in the car seat. He met Uncle Mitch, Uncle Seng Hou, Uncle Yusof, Uncle Krishnan and Uncle Jabbar in the office. Uncle Mitch even took a photo of us, using his new Panasonic Lumix FX9.
Because he woke up later than usual, Matthew did not take his morning nap. He had his lunch quickly, a big bowl of pork porridge with xiao bai cai. Did his big business and went to nap at 12:30pm. Napped for 2.5 hours. I napped too and Matthew got to wake me up by making lots of noise in his cot!
I thought that since it was early, maybe bring him somewhere. It was either IMM or West Mall. I decided on West Mall, because I could bring Matthew for a bus ride and walk home after that.
So it was Matthew's first ride on a public bus. His first time on a bus was at Sentosa in October. Now he was almost 10 months old, he was more aware of his surroundings. He was all so curious, pointing at everything. He was quick to point to the passing MRT train on the viaduct and the other buses on the road.
We walked around West Mall and I bought some stuff at Valu$ shop. Matthew got his hands everywhere, touch here touch there.
Since we still had some time, we went to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I ordered a small Chai Latte and a cinnamon apple muffin. When Matthew saw the baby seat, he struggled to get out of my arms into the seat. He was guai guai (behaved himself). I gave him a bit of muffin to eat, but I think he still preferred wholemeal bread. He almost broke his Pigeon Magmag bottle by "throwing" it on the floor.
After that, we walked back home to get the car to go to Po po's house. Along the way, Matthew enjoyed himself watching the cars, motorcycles and buses going by and of course the MRT train on the viaduct.
