Valentine's Day last Tuesday was also Matthew's lunar birthday, so Mike and I decided to take a half day off to bring him cycling at East Coast Park. It was so much fun, as there were so few people on a weekday afternoon.

We cycled from the Tennis Centre to Changi Sailing Club, stopping at Bedok Jetty for a break to watch planes go by. Matthew demanded a break at the sailing club to watch planes and for a drink. On our way back, we stopped for ice-cream. Matthew got wafer biscuits from the ice-cream auntie and kept himself busy while Mike and I cooled down with the ice-cream. Cycling back, Matthew sang away, waved his hands, made lots of happy noises. He was so happy and refused to get out from his child seat. Finally Mike decided to walk the bike and I think Matthew got the idea that it was the end of the cycling fun, so wanted to be carried. That was a whole 2 hrs ride!


We had dinner at Waraku. It was V-day and we actually needed reservations. The manager was kind enough to accommodate us. We sat near the entrance and Matthew had fun looking at the fortune cat (zhao cai mao). Too bad we couldn't get a family photo taken.

Matthew had so much fun that he did not want to go home and we had to struggle to get him into the car seat.

Till another day.. we will definitely be back!
