Xmas Show 2008 - Hello Kitty & Winnie The Pooh

It's the time of the year when malls would usually have cartoon character show to attract those young shoppers. I remembered that last year, I brought Celest to see these shows with the SMH June friends. So fast man, another year has passed. Now with a baby in tow, I can't go out as & when like last time. I have to ask my mother-in-law to help in looking after Carine at home while I bring Celest out.

We first went to Bishan J8 to catch the Hello Kitty Show. It started just when we got there. Phew! Celest actually knows who is "Hello Kitty" but it's not me who introduce her to it. Maybe her school friends/ teachers? The show was abit boring to her as it's in a storyline and she's too young to understand the story. Guess the best part is the 'let it snow let it snow' part where there's 'snow' popping out. Those sitting right below the 'gun' was in a mess though. After the show, we went to Mac for a quick bite as we need to rush to Taka to catch the Poohbear.

There was some miscommunication as there was no show at the Taka. It's only Meet & Greet session. Brought Celest to queue up for a chance to take pictures with Pooh. Surprising she wasn't afraid this time round to get up close with Pooh.

Animal Resort

Hubby didn't go to work today as he worked late till the wee morning. Just happened that during last night MSN chat, got to know that they are going to the Animal Resort. I then decided to join them. It's been a long time that I brought Celest along to all the outings as I need to look after Carine.

We met Naomi @ Yio Chu Kang station to share a cab there. The taxi driver haiz missed a turn & we had to make a detour. Actually the place is very near to the Roti Prata shop that we went at Jalan Kayu. Think the next time we will go and eat prata, can bring Celest to visit again. But, the inside road really abit confusing - rural area, we had to make a call to ask for directions from the place.

There are many small animals/birds at the resort, even a dog training school. It was the 1st time Celest was in such close proximity with them. We first went to the rabbits corner & bought some carrots to let the tods try feeding. Celest wasn't afraid at all and let them nibble the carrots. I was worried that Celest would be naughty by putting put her fingers inside and got bitten by the rabbits. After watching the rest threw the carrot inside the cage, she also follow suits.

Some geese appear & we bought some food to feed them. Naomi very brave to go first. Haha. All the goose went on to 'attack' her (food of course). I asked Celest if she wanted to try & she gamely agree. But, while trying to feed, she dropped the food onto the ground as soon as 1 of the goose nip at her hand. It was very ticklish feeding them. Later on, two geese were fighting and was really noisy. The keeper had to separated them and placed one away in a corner. We took the chance to explain to the kids that if they are naughty, they will also be put away in their 'thinking corner'.

Fish feeding time! See Celest breaking up the crumbs & threw them into the pond. There were also some other birds (don't ask me for the name, haha) at the resort. We got the kids back to wash their hands & settled for a fried rice lunch there.

We then went to Kelly's house to visit her as we heard that she's sick. It was really a house full of toys/books. Think Celest's toys only 1% of hers so naturally she was busy enjoying herself! It took some time to leave the house later also.
