Gong gong (aka 'teh teh' in ryan's language) was on leave yesterday so the whole troop of mama, ian, chrissy, auntie yas, baby ryan and mummy went to east coast park for a day of fun in the sand!
Gor gor n jie jie were well prepared with their caps and sand-castle building tools (which were NOT used at ALL!) The moment we reached there at ard 10 plus, baby ryan decided it was time for his nap...sigh! Mummy pushed him along in his pram till he fell asleep whilst gong gong entertained the other 2 children by bringing them to the beach for some fun. Mama, being mama, had to watch over the things that we had lugged... 1 camera bag, Yas's diaper bag with the things the children needed, 1 big yellow recycling bag containing the sandwiches, hot water, clothes, towel n what have u and... mama's own big black bag with I dunno wat else! OMG! Just bringing the 3 children out, we've got sooo many things to lug!! Imagine if di di Ethan comes along!! I dread to think about it...
Anyway, ryan fell asleep so mummy decided it was time to exercise and went to rent a bike...
Paid $6 for a mountain bike n the guy there gave me a half hr extra...I was thinking to myself 'Would i actually want to ride for 1 and a half hr? Hhhhmmm?? Me? Exercising?'
Anyway, went ahead for a ride and realised my butt was aching and my legs as well, especially having to go up so many slopes! Watz wrong with straight, smooth roads anyway? Headed back after 10 - 15mins n saw the gang resting at the food centre...hahaha...baby ryan was awake and the prince was fed his porridge by his most doting, noble mama!
Gong gong had rented a tandem bike for himself and ian but ian hated the bike coz he was too short and couldn't reach the pedal...insisted on getting a bike for himself so yi yi here had to ride the tandem bike to the bicycle station and replace it with a bicycle suitable for him...in the end, to make it worth the $8 that gong gong had paid, i got another mountain bike but i didn't have to top up any $! Off we went back to where the gang were...
When we got back to the food centre, jie jie decided that she wanted to ride as well so auntie yas had to tompang her pretty precariously with one hand holding on the handle whilst the other one was acting like a harness around jie jie's body, preventing her from falling! It seemed a tad too dangerous so the yi yi here had to, once again, head to the station to get the bike exchanged to one with a child seat in front. Hai! The woes of being the yi yi!
Once the bike had been changed (at no cost again!) off we went for a short ride towards the super cool ski thingy where avid skiers gathered... fatigue, added on to an aching butt, prompted me to take short rests at where mama was while the kids n maid continued riding...
Gong gong took the liberty to bring ryan for a ride in the child seat even though we had disallowed yas from bringing ryan along coz mama n i figured it was too dangerous...however, gong gong was more confident so... i was surprised when i saw baby ryan in the child seat, enjoying the breeze and amusing himself with the bell that was atached to the handle..hehe..
A few more rounds on the bike and the time was up...we didn't venture far though...yi yi here was exhausted so couldn't lead ian any further...
We returned the bikes and headed to parkway parade for lunch at the food court...the children were all tired and ryan and his jie jie fell asleep in gong gong's car on the way back...
Overall, an enjoyable outing which daddy had missed! Another time perhaps...
