Very small cars

Last Friday, papam and I went to Tampines Mall. I used to call it 'tatimin small' but papam said it should be Tampines Mall. Mama is still in the office so only papam and I are going to Tampines Mall. Papam said we will eat dinner there because mama will have dinner at the office. I asked papam if we could 'buy toys' first and he said ok.

I like going to Tampines Mall because there are more toys there than the place where I go to school. First we went to see some bedsheets because I also asked mama and papam to buy me a superman or spiderman bedsheet. I already have Barney blanket. But we cannot find any superman or spiderman bedsheets or blanket so we just went to the toys store.

I asked papam to buy me 'very small' cars. Papam said I can get 3 so I picked up 3 'very small' cars - blue, red, and black.


This is 'enough' for now. I will ask papam 'next time' to buy me more 'very small' cars. At dinner, I asked papam to open the boxes of my new toy cars so I can play with them while we eat. My papam and I ate fried rice with egg. My papam also ate pork chop but I don't like pork chop so I only ate fried rice with egg. We also had mango pudding for dessert. Oh, and I also got papam to buy me a spiderman bowl and a set of spiderman spoon and fork. I couldn't find a spiderman cup. It took me some time to decide then I finally settled on a barney cup instead.

Kristian saw Barney live for the first time

It was around 6:00 pm, we were in Toys R Us store in Tampines Mall. We were with Ninang Bheng, her baby Mica, and Ninang Bheng's mom. Ninang Bheng's mom showed us a Toys R Us magazine showing Barney, BJ and Baby Bop having a concert in another Toys R Us store but not in the same mall where we are. The next free concert is at 7:00 pm and we don't even know where the other mall is located. So we quickly packed our things and get into the car hoping to make it to the 7:00 pm show. My wife called her friend to ask for directions to the other mall. Luckily she was able to contact her friend who incidentally is also going to the same place, and we were able to get the directions.

We arrived at the other mall a few minutes past 7:00 pm and the show has already started. The show is free so there are a lot of people and children but we were still able to get a good place to see Barney's concert. We watched the show from the side of the stage, the location is near the stage but we see Barney's side and back most of the time. At some point of the show, Barney and the other characters will move around the stage so we also get a chance to see him facing our way.

This was probably Kristian's most exciting day although he looked more shocked and confused. Maybe he's wondering why Barney is there right in front of him instead of watching him on TV. Anyway, he still looked happy and couldn't stop saying "Barney" on our way home. Unfortunately, we were not able to get near Barney to take a photo because we need to buy at least $30 from Toys R Us and have to get into a queue and only the first 30 customers will get the chance. So we just decided to take photos with Barney, BJ, and Baby Bop in the background having their pictures taken with other people. We did not even have our camera with us that time so we used our phones instead.
