Daddy's question &... a golf trip?

Daddy has been asking me almost every day if I'm going out(in the AM, so he can use my car) or I've gone out(in the evening) and last evening, he did the same again. When I told him no, he wasn't happy and said that I should have gone & get myself familarised with the routes or I could even do with some extra practices at the carpark...
Thing is, sometimes I just feel tired, especially when I still have to plan/get Renee prepared before we go out, it's not like those super few times that he's brought her out before - ok, put on yr shoes and go! And what's worser was, we've all woken up earlier yesterday as we went to fetch Eileen from the market and collect our foodstuffs... so I'm tired, so was Renee...*and what if I got stucked in some foreign place and she needed to use the toilet???*
Seriously, I would also hope that I can be really good with my driving(but hey, I've only been driving and not that often anyway, for a few weeks!) and most importantly, super good with the routes so I don't have to depend on him to sit in and direct me - guess in this way, he won't be sooo grouchy liao :P
So, this morning, being prepared, I had a good 'Yes' answer to daddy's ever same question hahaha. I had planned to bring Renee out to try a new route to Hougang Mall(yes, to the mall :>) but upon learning of his up-coming golf game in Batam, I told him it'll be a good opportunity for us to bring Renee along. Me and Renee could just laze around there, I don't mind... it could be a good 'trial' and opportunity to bring her on a 'trip'. However, she still hasn't got her passport made, so he told me to bring her to Punggol Plaza for a photo session and I did just that :)
On the way, I've prep-ed Renee about allowing the 'aunty' to take a photo of her, so that she can have her own passport to go on the trip with us... and when we got there, she was asked to stand on a high chair(me holding her of cos) and I told her : "ok Renee, give a good smile". She smiled awkwardly hahahahaha and I laughed, even the lady also couldn't help it and laughed though she was trying to control herself. Renee looked at us and I quickly told her : "ok ok, never mind, just give mommy a nice smile" and she went "how to smile?"(meaning : how should I smile), this time I laughed even louder and she got abit fedup hahaha. No choice, I told her I'm sorry and asked her to just try her best and I'll bring her to KFC(which she's given up her afternoon milk for) as promised.
However, her best turned out to be errrm, not very natural keee and so the lady kindly offered another 2 last shots... and I end up choosing the last pic - one of which she wasn't smiling(as suggested by the lady) but her eyes were looking down(she had always complained abt the flash, too glaring for her eyes and she must have thought that the lady's camera has the same flash light effect, thus she looked down when the lady clicked).
After we've collected the photos and CD-rom, we proceeded to Hougang Mall and she made noise : "arrrh, not here, I want popcorn chicken!", as she had thought that I was to bring her to Mcdonald's(cos that's where I brought her to the last time we went there) then she turned abit 'paiseh' when I lead her to KFC and told her : "look where we are now?"...
As we were out and daddy wld be home late, I've decided to pack some baked chicken wings back for Renee and my dinner. I finally persuaded her to eat them with the vege porridge that I've cooked when we got home but she didn't seem to take to the 'stickiness' of the honey which was glazed on the wings hahaha. So she ended up with a dinner(at 6pm) of vege porridge with only half a chicken drum and she asked for 2 slices of milk bread with butter and half a green pear...(oh, she also asked for another 2 slices which I only gave 1, after her >300ml milk at 9)
I hope that this time round, we'll really get to go with daddy... be it as short as a 2-days trip(even with nothing else for both of us to do hahaha, daddy had thought they were gg to Bintan and happily asked me to try book Club Med, luckily I have not! now just hope tt we cld get Renee's passport on time).
