3 years

It was our 3rd Wedding Anniversary yesterday. Elvis took 2 days leave since it falls on a Tuesday. We thought of a few places we could go (Hainan, HK, Tokyo)...but decided to stay in Shanghai. Since it was a weekday, Ahyi is in, so we went out on a date - without Joel.

We wanted to have lunch at Tairyo Teppanyaki, but when we arrived it was closed (open for dinner). It's a shame coz we cannot have teppanyaki with Joel. We decided to walk to Bali Lagoon restaurant inside JingAn Park. The Indonesian food was good but rather expensive. After lunch, it started to rain. We went to Raffles City wanting to buy the IMAX tickets for Transformers 2 but it was SOLD OUT! So we went shopping. It rained heavily till evening. So we "dabao" dinner home instead of bringing Joel out for dinner. That's how we spent our 3rd anniversary. Nothing special, but it was the first time we went out without Joel (in Shanghai).

If you were wondering... Yes, we did call home a few times to check on him. ;)


On Monday, it rained the whole day. We brought Joel to an indoor water theme park. Joel really enjoyed himself splashing the water around him. There were a lot of people, mostly children on school excursion. Becoz it was indoors, the noise level was deafening. But we had fun becoz Joel had fun.

The indoor water theme park which was really crowded...


Joel was felt so hungry after his swim. He kept eating biscuits on the taxi...and then he actually fell asleep while eating!!!

For dinner, we went to Crystal Jade and ate all these yummy food...

Yes, our 1st date in Shanghai. Whenver we go back to Spore, Elvis always suggest leaving Joel with grandparents while we go for movie. Of course, this mommy is reluctant to do so. :/

Thanks! Thanks!

That day, Joel saw both of us leaving the door and he didnt let us. He wants us to carry him and kept holding our legs. So we called home to check if he's ok after a while. He's still a baby and left home alone with Ahyi. :_(

Yes, but i will make sure i wont be a naggy old woman. i will try my best to be a cool mom to Joel, his girlfriends and his future wife. if he's a grown man, i wont call him a few times a day and want to know his exact location, what he's doing, who he's with... I cannot imagine myself doing that at all. -.-lll
