An Afternoon of Leisure
Amidst the unfortunate event of virus passing around at home from one to another the past 2 weeks, Zerlynde and I recovered sufficiently enabling us and hubby to join some good friends for lunch and to spend the day at E&O.
The food at Jade Palace was predictably delicious and up to expectation. We 10 adults had a feast consisting of scallops, prawns and suckling pig. The babies/toddlers/children ranging from 8 months to 7 years were seated at the next table with their less exotic but equally nutritious meal consisting of rice and steam egg, tofu etc.
Imagine a roomful of 10 kids.............. I was kept pretty busy chasing after Zerlynde during the 2 hours but was fortunate enough to steal some time here and there to catch up with Cornelius, Mei Sien, Nicholas and Cheng Yan.
The highlight was the cake cutting. We had three cakes to celebrate two birthdays. The kids went wild with the candle blowing. Zerlynde was thrilled to cut the cake and was kept busy for the next 15 minutes or so stuffing herself silly with banana cake.
After lunch, we checked into E&O for the day. We were hoping for some peace and quiet then but Zerlynde absolutely refused to nap. So, she walked about the room, tearing almost everything apart. Daddy gave up watching after her after awhile and conveniently dozed off. So, the "burden" of watching over our little monster rested on her poor mother solely for the rest of the afternoon. Was I so very pleased when she finally dozed off at 6.30pm.
We later had dinner at Sarkies Corner with a friend, then adjourned to our room for a little chat before checking out at about 10.30pm. It was a very nice day indeed.
