Views from a Child's eyes: I skipped school today again

I didn't dare to suggest to mom today that I didn't feel like attending school. So I was very surprised when mummy changed me into outside clothes instead of me school uniform.

I asked mummy where she was bringing me to. And she said she's going to bring me to a playground at where she brought me the last time. I had no idea where she meant but when I saw the place, immediately I remembered it's "Wild Wild Wet" and not "the Sesame Street place".

We stopped by at McDonalds for mummy's breakfast (I had mine at home). I had a little of mummy's hashbrown and then I didn't feel like eating anything.

We then walked over to a supermarket to buy something for Alexandra 妹妹. I picked up the gummies for 妹妹 and mummy said I can pick up one for myself. At first I picked the Rabbit sweets (although it's cheaper) but mummy said the pack is too big. So I picked another candy for myself. I ate one on the way out, and when mummy asked me "Is the sweet nice?" I told her that the sweet is hard and sour.

We then went over to the Explorer's Club, where we waited for Aunty Angeline and Alexandra 妹妹 inside (airconditioned). I was very shy when I saw Aunty and 妹妹, I gave 妹妹 the sweets and I got a bigger present in return. Aunty said "that's my present for playing truant" (for me being a big sister. Wow! If I had known being a big sister means I can get alot of presents, I would have asked mummy and daddy to give me a 妹妹 or 弟弟 sooner. Or maybe I should ask them again when 妹妹's born)I told Aunty that I will take care of my 妹妹.

Aunty Angeline paid for me to play, and I thanked Aunty. Then Alexandra 妹妹 and me went to play. Mummy said I've been there 2 yrs ago but I don't think I remember. Time passes by and it is time to go. I wish I can play a longer time, as we leave mummy promised she will bring me back again.

In the foodcourt, I shared mummy's chicken rice. She bought steamed egg from another stall for me, but I'm so happy with just the rice and black soya sauce.

I was a good girl and kept holding 妹妹's hand to bring her back to the table.

We left Downtown East and mummy said she's bringing me to see baby. Mummy so blur.... she missed the turn at Thomson Road (she came from Upp Thomson) so he headed up to Lornie Rd. Made a U-turn and missed the hospital again as we headed up towards Upp Thomson. I told mummy "mummy you missed again. Now the hos-pi-tale is behind us." Mummy made a turn in some estate and fortunately this time she kept left to turn at the correct exit. After going up & down the road we finally turned into the hospital.

Baby Shai-Ann is so small. I looked at her first then mummy and me went to wash our hands. After some time, then mummy carried baby and all I did was to look. After some time, I asked mummy to carry me...Mummy carried baby to the bed where Aunty is. She put me on her lap, and I asked her "mummy, you didn't wash your hands again." Mummy said because I'm a big girl, she don't have to wash hands but we had to wash our hands because we came from outside.

I like baby - so quiet cannot argue with me. I think that's how 妹妹 will look like?Ai yoh...so small how to play with me?

Mummy then brought me to a shopping mall, where we spent about 2 hours plus there before heading back home. Aunty Zet had my dinner ready for me when I got back home, and she fed me dinner. Although we spent a shorter time gai-gai (about 7-8hours), I'm happy as long as I get to skip school.
