Last Saturday was
supposed to be our 3rd RC brisk walk, this time to Kent Ridge Park.
However, it rained (heavily) at exactly the time we were supposed to move off.
In the end, the walk was called off and we went back to our cozy little house
to watch some TV, eat the free bun and go back to bed….
Woke up awhile
later and prepared brunch. Using whatever is available (thank God our grocery
was delivered on Friday evening) I whipped up a decent fare of crabstick with
fried eggs on bread and also heat up the pre packed tangy tomato basil soup
from The Soup Spoon. Good enough to fill up both our stomachs. I am always
happy to come up with something out of nowhere.
We then washed up
and went over to fetch dad out to his belated Fathers’ Day Jurassic World movie
treat at VivoCity. It will the first time we bring dad for a movie outing since
he uses the wheelchair. Thank God we managed to get a cab easily and the driver was a rather nice guy too. I
noticed he stopped the meter earlier while stuck in a small jam to alight us at
the Vivo taxi stand. It was a small gesture but things like that, I do
appreciate, considering there are some drivers who seems intent on making
things more difficult than it already is for the less abled and their family
members.
After alighting, I
went down to the MRT to try and top up dad’s EZ link card with the SG50 credit
but was asked to do it at the Harbourfront bus stop as that is where the old
school machine is located, since it was quite a distance away, I decided not to
do it and went back up to link up with wifey and dad. We took the lift up to
the ticket office and another lift up the 3rd floor where the
cinemas were located and waited there for Cuiqin to arrive.
Meanwhile, I went
over to Soup Restaurant to make dinner reservation. I also went to St. Marc to
get 2 chocopuffs and a cuppa for wifey, in case she get her hunger pangs. We
finished up the food and went into the cinema. Dad was exclaiming that the
cinema looked so different now. Smaller. He eyes were looking up to see if
there are circus seats upstairs which of course there are none. I told him that
cinemas are built smaller now but there are more of it so that they can show
different movies at the same time. He seems to like that place.
Soon Cuiqin
arrived and the movie started. Jurassic World is a rather spectacular
blockbuster. The storyline was simple but the graphics were awesome. We all
enjoyed the movie, which was surprisingly quite short. (less than 2 hours?)
After the movie, we made our way to Soup Restaurant. There was already a long queue formed outside and looking at the time, we were a whopping one hour earlier than our reserved timeslot. We were expecting being asked to wait with growling stomach BUT thank God again, we were being whisked inside immediately and was given a nice table overlooking Sentosa. (which reminds me so much of Jurassic World). We ordered their signature dishes Samsui Chicken, Soup of the Day(Shark Fin Melon), Fried fish belly and also Potato leaves with salted fish and claypot tofu. It was really a nice dinner with great company. Thank God for Cuiqin who always insist on giving wifey and I a birthday treat to bless us every year, faithfully.

To end off a nice day, wifey got a pretty dress from Factorie while I brought dad for a stroll at the open air promenade and we then took a bus to send dad back. Met another good driver whose attempt to park his bus precisely so that dad’s wheelchair can be pushed down properly brought another heartwarming smile to our spirit.
