Our weekend II - daddy's chauffeur

Yes, I finally took up the 'challenge' and sent daddy to Shangri-la Hotel. Renee was supposed to go with him but she decided to stick to me when we were going out, so daddy went alone.
By the time we both arrived at the 'open carpark' opposite Wheelock Place, it was about 7:40pm already and we're left with not much time to shop since it's 8:30pm when I'm done with my dinner at Dome. Walked around Isetan abit and soon it's time for the store to close for the day.
Having nowhere else to go, I took Renee out of the dept. store and when we passed by the Galetissimo ice-cream booth, she said she wanted to eat an ice-cream cone and so I went back there and get her a single scoop but prior to that, I have to tell her that it doesn't come with the cone, only cup(even if it does, I'd prefer not to, less messy with a cup) and I told her to look at some tourists eating from their cups and she nodded ok. Thinking that she may not finish it since it's not in a cone, I ordered what I like - which is the macadamia + caramel(wld prefer it w/out the caramel though, too sweet) but this girl chose her own flavor! This is her very own first order of ice-cream and she already know how to choose! She must have seen people choosing and she went to look around the tubs, geez...
I pointed to the one I've ordered but she insisted(pointing to it repeatedly, hahaha) on the 'choc hazel nut'. Luckily the guy serving hasn't scooped my previous order to the cup yet and I quickly got him to change to her choice. Then seeing that she's eating it up pretty fast, I took another spoon and started to share it. But when she saw that I took a few big spoonfuls, she got stingy, pushed the cup nearer to her right side and told me that I cannot eat anymore, aiyoh... So I pretended and told her that daddy just text and said that she's not to eat soo much, then she let me continue sharing it... A short while later, my friend Vicky text me and Renee, whom had thought otherwise, asked : "what did papa say?" hahahahaha.
Daddy had told us to pick him up later and when I saw a little '24 hr' note near the ice-cream booth, I had thought maybe we could just sit and wait around there till 10:30pm before we leave to pick daddy up. However, at 10pm, they started to clear/stack up the tables and chairs and I've to lead Renee to the carpark. Whilst in the car, Renee said : "I miss papa, so very much..." and when I told daddy about this, he's obviously very pleased :)
