My parents, my younger sister and my niece and nephew came over to my place for the weekend because my elder sister went for a vacation to phuket with her hubby over the weekend.
It started to rain very heavily on our way to pick them up but the rain stopped when we reached our place. As the kids are still recovering from flu, my parents don't allow them to swim in the pool.
But I think they were pretty fine with it, running around the house, taking out all my stuff toys and fighting over them.
After reaching home not long, we made our way to the function room in the club house as one of our neighbours (who happened to be our NUS course mate) was having a full month celebration for his baby boy. Met up with the rest of the neighbours and chatted a bit.
After dinner, we proceeded to giant supermart at tampines. The kids loved the outing, running around the supermart and pushing the trolley. I guessed the outing sort of tired them out as they fell asleep shortly after we made our way home.
Started the next day pretty late as the kids were up only about 10am, my mum was quite surprised that they slept till so late as they were usually up about 7am. My parents went exploring the neighbourhood and I asked them to pack lunch for me as my hubby was out attending an indian wedding in the morning.
We were going to go to the airport for 2 things this evening. One was to meet my sister and her hubby who will arrived around 6pm from Phuket and the other was to have father's day dinner with my in-laws and family while waiting for my hubby's sis to arrive from Shanghai about 10pm.
We were slightly late in meeting my sis as the kids were playing in the playground downstairs and my parents had to drag them up and gave them a shower before going to the airport.
I got my sis to buy listerine for me from phuket as the listerine there were much cheaper than singapore. A 750ml bottle costs about S$5 there whereas it costs about S$8.50 here. My sis also bought my favourite seaweed flavour potato chips from Lays. Super good but not found in Singapore. What a waste.
After saying goodbyes to my sister's family and my parents, we went to queue at the soup restaurant because the restaurant doesn't allow reservations for weekend. So there I was queueing at 6.20pm and waited till 7.20pm before I got in and guess what? None of my in-laws or bro-in-law's family reached yet. The lady was trying to get us the table asap and kept telling us the family occupying the table was there for over 2 hours and were still taking their own sweet time. In my mind, I was thinking, never mind..take as long as they want as the people from my side weren't here yet.
I was pretty embarassed as we were supposed to have 10 of us and only 2 of us were there when we got in. We did tell the rest to come at 7.30pm. I did not want to give up the place because there were so many people behind us who have 10 or more pax as well and if we gave it up, we would have to wait again for another hour. At 7.30pm, my in-laws came with my niece. So we called bro-in-law and they were still at home at 7.30pm....we waited and waited....at around 8pm, we called again and they were still at home. The waitresses were like keep popping in to see when they can start serving the food and I was telling my hubby, they must be gossiping that we were exactly like the table previously.
Eventually, I asked that we start eating first and bro-in-law's family only turn up at 8.30pm. By the time we finished, it's already 10pm and they were asking us to foot the bill as they were closing for the day.
We picked up my sis-in-law and then headed home. What an exhausting end to a weekend.
