It was a great long weekend!

Yup, it was Hari Raya Haji on Friday making it a wonderful long weekend for us. The kids enjoyed themselves silly knowing they got so much time with us. I really do not know how they did it with little or no naps for the three days.

Friday - both took less than half hour naps on the way to see Auntie Mel and her new baby. Hopefully Baby X has a name now! He's super cute by the way!

After that we headed to Leng Kee to test out the Volvo S80. That's Mr Seow's itchy backside for you. Home we went where Mummy me tried making beef stew with Japanese rice. Yum! Unfortunately Eugene doesn't eat beef and the kids are not used to it. They only had the potatoes and carrots.

Saturday - after swimming we went to Old Town for lunch. Then Eugene left me at home with the kids while he went photo taking with his buddies (??? roll eyes???) for almost 6 hours. I nearly went crazy as I tried to iron the pile of clothes while they fought over their toys. Finally at almost 4pm, I decided enough was enough, give them milk as a last resort so that they would take a nap. After their milk, they were still wide awake. I nearly peng san! They went to the couch where both proceeded to lunge off each side of the sofa - for almost 2 hours!! Russell fell onto the floor (big surprise) twice but got up and continued. Both ignored my pleas to stop. By the time Eugene came home, it was almost 7pm so I thought at least we could have a peaceful dinner while they took their nap. Geez! Both still awake! After dinner at Hong Kong Street, we decided to have durians and coconut. The kids enjoyed the fresh coconut drink and Russell was swaying to the music. Damn funny lor! On the short walk back, Russell fell asleep. Hmm.....quickly bathed them and both were wide awake again. ARGH! Finally they fell asleep at 10 pm.

At Old Town, waiting for our Kopi, Ipoh Hor Fun, chicken rendang and nasi lemak.

Renee wanted me to take a photo of her. She's getting really tan with the once a week swimming lessons.

Sunday - breakfast with Uncle G, lunch and fight club at Auntie Janice's place and home we went so that Renee could take a nap. I kept telling her not to fall asleep till we got home because I was alone with them and there was no way I could carry both out of the car and back home. Along East Coast Road, Renee fell asleep. Wah lao.......so I mapped out the logistics in my mind. Put on Russell's shoes, let him walk to the lift and back home while I carried Renee, the two bags and lock the car. The 1 minute ride up the lift and Renee was awake. That made it a total of 7 minutes nap and she told me, "I took a nap already!" Boo Hoo for me man!!
