Special Saturday

This week, I've got 2 family days. Saturday and Sunday. Family weekend I should call it.

Dad didn't go to work today, and the lovely day started off with yummy Prawn Noodles at Onan Road. Slllluuuurrrrrrppppp~~~~~!!!!!!!

Then it was off to see Grandpa at the hospital. He's getting better day by day. After a few physiotherapy sessions, he's now able to move his leg. But he's still not able to walk as his muscles are extremely weak. It'll take some time for him to be able to walk properly. However, it's good to know that his surgical wound isn't hurting anymore.

It was off to the nursery after that. It's been a long time since I stepped into one. There weren't much flowers around, and most of the time, it was just greens. I kinda got bored and started wasting time on the swing instead, while waiting for Dad to purchase some soil.

Had no idea why Dad suddenly came up with the idea of bringing little cousin Nigel out. So we went to look for him at his music school as he's having some piano rehearsal there (what a coincidence that it's the school where Josh teaches!).

I haven't seen him for 2 years I think. I was so excited when he saw me and went "Michelle Jiejie!!!!" Oh my, my heart melted on the spot. I missed him so much!! He wasn't shy at all, and was very polite.

Nigel has grown up so much since the last I saw him. He's just so cute, intelligent and well-behaved. Honestly speaking, I have never ever saw a kid as mature and polite as him. My uncle and aunt has brought him up very well.

Let me tell you something funny yet embarrassing. He came to my house and wanted to see my room. My bedroom's always in a mess and after he came in...

Me: Is my room messy?
Nigel: A little...
Me: Don't tell anyone yah?
Nigel: Ok. Let me tidy up your room for you.

*He walks ard to place my soft toys nicely and then went to my study table..*
*He picks up the newspapers on my table*

Nigel: You should put the newspapers to one side of your table after you have finished reading them. Also, you have to put your pen into your pencil case after using it so that your table will be neater!

*He picks up my pen and puts it into my pencil case and zips it up, while I stay at the corner feeling so ashamed of myself*

Cute huh?! Hahaha..oh ya..he's in Primary 2 :)

He played the piano for me this evening too. I must say that he plays the piano very very well. I was enjoying his music.

Thanks to him that I got to enjoy a sumptuous seafood dinner with my family and Granny. Had black pepper crabs..heez. I had Yam Paste too...one of my favourite desserts..

It was a great day overall. I'm sure it wouldn't be as fun if it weren't for Nigel. He really brought so much joy to my family and to Granny. Even Frederick was having a fantastic chat with him over dinner. No kiddy chats though, purely on school, games and toys for boys. We had such a great time together that I'm thinking of bringing him out for a movie and some fun during his school holidays. Frederick and I will be taking turns.

Geez..it's only a few hours since he went home and I'm starting to miss him already... Such a waste that he refused to let me take a pic of him, or else I'll put it up on my blog for u guys to see..
