Children's Day @ Esplanade


Due to the haze, I have been home-bound for the past few weeks due to respiratory problems. I couldn't even take my eldest out to celebrate when he finished his PSLE. *shake head* Thankfully, the recent bouts of rain cleared the air and I finally felt well enough to bring the kids out for Children's Day. Today was the first time in a while since I saw blue skies when I looked up. With the company of a dear CG sister and her kids, we visited the Esplanade Library for a session of Chinese cross-talk. It was good exposure for the younger ones but the older boys were far more interested in playing a game of chess with each other! ROFL 


Next up, we sat through a performance of Malay music Dendang Anak. Once again, the boys were mostly engrossed in buddy-fighting each other and the girls listened to the songs while fiddling with the notebook they got from one of the booths. Looks like us two adults could appreciate the musical arts far better than the children. *face palm*



There was some PVC pipes available for the kids to build structures. However, it only occupied them for a short time before they went chasing after bubbles blown by two of the nearby toddlers. *faintz* 


I had already bought them their Children's Day gift (RISK board game) in advance during the June holidays. Still, I couldn't resist getting them these cute cartoon macarons to enjoy.
