Wanting to guide her on the 'value/joy of' giving', I told daddy that we should let her pay for gifts with her own $ and daddy agreed. We're to let her take out some coins from her coinbank and bring her to the bakery to get us a cake on our birthdays and today, daddy brought her there(I've to remind him hahaha). Whilst they were there, I rushed through to get her dinner cooked/packed before getting myself ready. When they came back to pick me up, daddy told me something very funny - Renee decided not to let go of the rest of her S$1 coins, after paying out 10 of them hahaha. It's when he told her that it's not enough, then she said 'oh ok, I count again' and finally paid in full, hahaha. She had dozed off in the carseat when I got down. (I had wanted daddy to help her get something small/simple and wldn't cost too much over S$10, but I guess, being a man, he doesn't know where to...)
The view of the fireworks we had at the restaurant was spectacular!(Will go back there again next year :D) and it was quite an experience having to move our table in and out of the shelter due to the rain lolz... Quite fun actually.
Ok, time for 'proof' to show how good the view was :D :
We arrived at the restaurant @5pm and as u can see from the pic, there were already quite a number of people standing infront, waiting to 'catch the moment'. Good thing we've made our reservation and also, they've fenced up the area to block off the non-diners
This is the menu we had, the special National day sets(no ala-carte)...not cheap-a set dinner for 2, we paidS$185.50(for the taste of food, not value for $ but yes, for the work they have to put in, shifting tables in and out, changing table cloths for some super fussy customers, changing plates, etc after the fireworks-when the remants fell down)
The after-effects of the Fireworks
The birthday cake -From Renee to Mommy...presented with a birthday song :D
(as u can see frm tis pic, princess had lost weight since her return to sch, but mommy hasn't hahaha)
With all the excitement, I guess Renee must be feeling very tired 'cos she's just gone to bed after my declination of her request to sleep on our bed :D
Oh yes, I wanna thank all of you(my friends, nieces, sisters...) whom had sent your kind birthday wishes to me today(I couldn't reply some as due to the heavy 'traffic' of my hp, the battery went flat before I could even do anything lolz)... Thanks, appreciated!
