As daddy had forgotten to confirm the meet-up time with Li & Rick last night when he was at their place(even after I've reminded him via sms), Li text me today to re-confirm, just when I got back to the carpark from Renee's school.
We picked them up at around 3:45pm and as it looked like it was going to rain, we decided to detour to the 'Kwan Yin Temple' @ Waterloo Street first.
The HongBao River's very different this year(not sure if it's already like this for the past years as it's been years since the last time we've been there) and it's only 'open' from 6pm til...(oops, can't rem, hahaha). We've got there around 4pm+ and it would be a long wait til 6pm, so we decided to go for a little walk/shopping at the nearest mall. Daddy suggested early dinner but again, we were too early, hahaha, so we made a reservation at 'Dian Xiao Er', a restaurant Li recommendated(first time for us). I've brought Renee's dinner and knowing how much she loves to drink soup, I gave her half of mine and guess what? She told me when we were in the toilet later that she'd like to dine there again, lolz. Hurray, we've finally found a place where she could have a full proper meal 'outside'! (hmmm, hope so!).
After dinner, we went back to stroll the HB River and although there're scheduled performances(which we didn't bother to stay to watch anyway), we found it less appealing as compared to the first few years when it had been opened at all times and one can just walk around it freely. The 'atmosphere''s not the same...
Whilst waiting for Li and daddy to return frm their 'lucky' errands, we went up to the seats above for a rest. Renee went to join uncle Rick when the performers marched out...
