Busy Buddies Trial on 24th Nov

Xmas!

We went for the trial together with Duffybuff, CutieZ and Paula. I was abit late as Celest was sleeping till we left the house. It was not good for Celest to be late as she missed out on the freeplay time which enable her to have the time to settle down and warm up to her surroundings. It was there and I knew that the class was a Busy Bods class, meant for 18mths onwards. Haha.

Celest was rather quiet that day and kept close to me. It took her some time before she ventured out to play with other toys. Then came Tidy Up Time. She managed to keep one to two items successfully. Her 'keep' means that she threw the toys into the box with gusto.

During the greeting time, teacher handed Celest a piece of card, with her name stated, and asked her to paste it on the board. She refused initially to get the card from teacher and I have to take on her behalf. She then walked over and pasted it on the board. Not bad!

Throughout the class, she roamed quite abit and kept going to the 'sink' to fiddle with the knobs. For the art & crafts, they had to draw their 'handshape' and did the no. 5 . Couldn't managed to get Celest to place her hands on the paper for me to draw. As usual, she didn't really like arts sessions. For the no. 5 work, I had to help her to complete the work.

The teachers took out storybooks for them to read on their own leisurely while they prepared the snacks. Celest loves the 'cereals' prepared by the teacher that she finished her second helpings. But, she didn't touch the apricots. It's back to more books time, followed by bubbles and time to say Bye Bye. On the whole, I didn't really enjoy it as I felt it was messy and abit rush. Maybe I am too used to the JG & GUG style.

After the class, Paula drove me to Takashimaya as they were going to do some shopping. Abit paiseh that I took the front passenger seat as Paula said that she needed to sit behind with Kelly. As usual, Celest was fiddling around and grabbed two spectacles even at one time! We went to the Food Republic @ Wisma for a break and ordered 'Cheng Teng' dessert since I was tired and thirsty. Don't think that I could have a proper meal before my help arrives.

We parted ways at Takashimaya, Nursery room. Brought Celest around to look at the toys and looking out for pokemon cards which I promised to buy for Ryan as his birthday present. My help finally arrived. What a relief. Managed to make Celest sleep and we went to the foodcourt to have my lunch at 4pm+.

We then walked to John Little as I wanted to buy some Crayola stuff on sale. Followed by Centrepoint Robinson. Saw the FP Kitchen set that was on promotion but daddy said don't buy now. :( I left her with sis to play with some toys at an area while I went looking around. Halfway, Strawberry Shortcake appeared. Haha. I quickly brought Celest over so that Mummy could have a good excuse to take picture. Celest was afraid and started crying, maybe due to the character's size.

Hahaha/ What a Big Hat! Ops, Mummy you close your eyes!

While walking to Plaza Singapura for our dinner, Joanne asked me to go shopping with her at G2000 for her birthday present. Guess where? Yes, it's Plaza Singapura as well. Fed Celest the tofu, 'bai cai' etc from my Yong Tau Hu bowl for her dinner as mummy didn't bring her's out. While at the G2000 fitting room with 'YIYI', she kept picking up those dirts to eat from the carpet floor. Haiz! Was sooo tired by the time we got back home. :P
