Locked out!
Okay. I did something silly today, and got ourselves … well, locked outside our own home!
Left the house together with Wilson this morning, took a taxi together, then went our separate ways. And when the kids and I got back home in the afternoon, everyone stood in front of the door, Mom checked and groped AND realised she did NOT bring her set of keys!
Hmpf.
And so we went around our neighbourhood for a good FOUR AND A HALF hours, waiting for Wilson to finish his meetings and deliver his deadlines.
Added to all this, my mobile phone’s battery was flat! And so I had to call him from public phones.
Good thing I got my camera with me! So at least I’ve got something interesting to do with the kids!
Anyway.
Here’re some of the things we did during those few hours outside.
We had a typical Singaporean breakfast (kaya toast, half-boiled eggs and tea with milk), at FOUR in the afternoon.
Anya and I scribbled and played guessing games (while Vai napped).
Btw, those are some of her drawings. See if you can guess what animals she drew. Heh.
The kids took turns inserting a ten-cent coin into the public phone. They ran around the open field near the markets. They got busy playing on those kiddy rides too (with no coins inserted).
My feet were pretty sore from standing a lot. And while waiting for Wilson to reach home, we all sat just outside our home! (err… Vai kind of rolled on the floor too!)
Ah.
Let’s just say that forgetting to bring your keys is not really a nice experience.
Wouldn’t really recommend it anyone.
PS: The next day, someone told me that I should’ve just gone to my friend’s home nearby. And WHY didn’t I think of THAT!
Oh, btw, according to Anya that was a scribbled picture of a bird on a nest and an elephant. Did you guess it right? *smile*
