Aleric First Swim & Hotel Dinner

Last Friday was Children’s Day. I took a day off from work for family time. Mrs and I woke up early, fed and prepared Aleric and send Aleric to parents’ home before travelling to the Expo Baby Fair. We reached earlier and had breakfast at Changi City Point Ya Kun using the mobile AXS free coupon. By the time we walked back to Expo, it was already flooded with Mummies and Daddies who were queuing to enter into the fair. We queued for about 10 minutes and successfully entered into the hall. We bought Aleric his private pool (for the time being as he may have to share with his younger brothers/sisters in the future), swimming diapers, pillow, bolsters and many children food for him. The payment queue was long and I think we spent about an hour to queue to pay up our items. After the baby fair, we headed for the Robinsons fair in the next hall. I was wondering if the Robinsons fair was held to complement the Baby fair as they provide trolley in the fair also. This is probably why we could shop there for about an hour as we dumped all our Baby fair purchases into the trolley. We ended up spending more than $200 in the Robinsons Fair.

Aleric had his first swim on Saturday morning. It took quite a while to fill up his pool and we let Aleric swam naked since it was at home. The aftermath of his swim was to deal with the huge volume of water. We felt it was a waste of water to just drain off. We ended up using the water for bathing, mopping the floor and flushing toilet. I think we can only allow Aleric to swim once per month. The whole family celebrated Dad’s birthday at Carousel at Royal Plaza on Scots. It is amazing that we did not bypass any ERP on the way to Carousel. It had been a long time since Mrs and I had buffet together though the food there was not as good as what was stated online.
