Memories of AMK

There was no school two Fridays ago due to P1 orientation etc in school. Generally, I don't cook on weekdays when there's no school except during holidays when we can get sick packing all the time.. 

Anyway, we decided to be slack parents and gave them a late breakfast at the hawker centre followed by a late and light lunch at A&W before dinner at WaiPo's.

Happy with fried chicken!

We also shared two waffles - one with chocolate sauce and one with strawberry. It was still way too early to go find WaiPo so we decided to walk around AMK town. 

We walked out the mall into the HDB shops, and walked one whole round from Macs to Avenue 8 and back to the mall again, walking past just about all the HDB shops. 

It was a pleasant surprise to see the knitting shop at one corner - I had totally forgot about it but CY and I used to go in quite a bit! For what, I had no idea / couldn't remember coz while we did dabble in some knitting, it was a short spell!

I was telling Sito that there used to be a stall selling CDs outside the knitting shop and I bought many CDs there. Then guess what, the shop had moved further down outside another shop! And the uncle still looked the same after 20 years!!!

Then we passed by a block where I think there used to be a photocopy shop? Can't be sure if it was there or another block near Kel...

Nostalgic walk... But the kids ignored everything, and just walked and chatted and blocked people's way etc *.*

Went back to the mall to cool down. We walked the entire mall except the cinema level to avoid getting stuck at the arcade - kids just like to watch and touch etc. Eventually, the kids got so bored they started asking when we would get to WaiPo's place.

Found an MRT installation in the supermarket

There was plenty of construction around AMK. Think they're sprucing up the town centre. Just outside the MRT, think they're building the North South Corridor. The path towards the MRT track looked a bit different from the last time we were there, which was some time ago coz busy with our renovation and moving. But the MRT track path is still the same, that is, same as the last 10 years. Only the old fitness corner and running track are from my pre-marriage days.

We were still pretty early; WaiPo was still preparing food. The kids got their usual dose of Yakult, watched WaiPo prepare food a bit and went to watch Netflix.

Preparing for fried wonton

This one likes to nua on or near a parent

We found that Kai is now taller than WaiPo! 

PS: Does Yang have food in his mouth??

While the kids were watching TV, Mother brought out some stuff she got from DaYee - miniature teacup sets! DaYee kept them for years and finally decided to let go. Mother sells various stuff in the market sometimes - and got caught by taegoo before *.* But she still goes *.*

But yes, the teacup sets. They were tiny! And why were there so many?! I find them very cute but I'm not one for much decoration around the house or worse, kept in boxes. So please sell them - just don't get caught by taegoo!!

The kids played at the playground downstairs before we left. Small playground but quite fun. Don't know which iteration since the sand playground where I slid down a concrete slide and fell while playing merry-go-round. 

Passed by the coffeeshop downstairs on our way to the playground. It started doing well only in the past few years due to the mookata. It was so sad in the past! Sito and I said that we would try the mookata next time!
