Hi-5 Roadshow and Art & Craft Trial

Dearest Princesses,

We managed to get free tickets for the Hi-5 concert that will be on soon!

There was a promotion at a shopping centre somewhat nearby where if we spent a certain amount of money in the mall, we could redeem a pair of tickets. Mama and Papa were worried that many people would rush for these tickets so we got up super early so that we could purchase the necessary goods to redeem the tickets then join the queue for the tickets.

When we got there, there already was another person at the counter. Mama and Papa took turns to go and shop so that the other could remain at the counter in the queue. We were a bit unhappy with the woman who was ahead of us though. She was not there at all in the queue! She just depended on our good graces to acknowledge that she had come ahead of us while she and her companions went around shopping! They were never in the queue for any amount of time! Oh well ...

Anyway, you both were very patient the whole time we waited for the redemption to begin! Skyler, you just sat on a stool there and did some drawing and such and Ashley, you had a bit of bread and just generally just walked around there. You were both so good that it was a fun time just being together there.

After we got the tickets, we went off to the Forum along Orchard Road for an art & craft trial session. Skyler, we'd registered you for it as we thought you would enjoy some art and craft. Mama and you got to do several types of craft work both in the morning and afternoon. In between, there was a meet and greet with Geronimo Stilton mouse character from a popular children's storybook series.

While che-che and Mama were busy with the craft sessions, Papa brought you for a walk, Ashley. We visited the Thai Embassy Open House and the newly opened shopping mall, Ion Orchard. The Thai Embassy Open House consisted mostly of craft and food stalls and since neither appealed to Papa, we sped through the space quite quickly before leaving. At Ion Orchard, there wasn't really much to look at either so we headed back to be with Mama and che-che.

After the trial sessions were over, you had completed lots of craft works, Skyler! :D

Mama and Papa then wondered if we should go back to the Hi-5 Roadshow as they had a Meet and Greet session in the afternoon / evening. We decided that it would be a nice thing to do for you both - especially you, Skyler, as you'd asked sometime ago for Stevie (a Hi-5 member) to carry you. So, we went all the way back there to see if we could get a meet-and-greet pass.

When we got there, they were just about to start one of their sessions so we went to watch it - they performed a song and basically promoted their upcoming concert. You enjoyed it a bit, Skyler. After that, we went to grab some dinner and also redeem a pass (we had to spend a bit more money to do that).

We then walked around the mall a bit before going back for the Hi-5 show again and then queue for the photo-taking with the group. We decided that we should go somewhat last as we wanted you, Skyler, to have the opportunity to take a photo with Stevie alone and we figured that if there weren't anybody else waiting behind us, they would be more willing to oblige.

The group members were very warm and friendly! We managed to get photos taken with them and Stevie carried you, Skyler and had a photo taken with you too! They even sincerely thanked us for being there to support them! :D Ashley, Casey was the one who carried you and she kept on fussing over you. It seems that she loves babies lots! :D

What a packed day!

Papa and Mama love you both lots!
