The LAST day of the school holidays! And I brought the little girl to catch "Thomas & Friends Live! On Stage" at the Singapore Expo today. Yes, I know. Trains and such are like so much more of a boy thing but Janine is an atypical girl that way. She's not content playing with barbie dolls or "masak-masak" (stereotypical girl toys) but is fascinated, if not, enthralled by boy toys - aeroplanes, trains and sometimes trucks! So besides her favourite "Jay Jay the jet plane", she loves Thomas too, particularly Percy because he is GREEN! The last time she was over at cousin David's home, she was in seventh heaven with his collection of Thomas the train and other peripherals!
So without a doubt, the girl was uber excited about the show! I only mentioned ONCE to her early in the week that I will be buying tickets to take her to the Thomas show and for the rest of the week, "Mommy going to buy ticket for Thomas" was on an (almost) endless loop. Obviously she has been waiting in anticipation the WHOLE week for this! Lol!
And I think it was a worthwhile wait for her. She got to see almost all her favourite characters live in action on stage, dance and clap along to the music...methinks she really enjoyed herself today because she was riveted from start to end and nary left her seat (except maybe once to sit on my lap). Even after the show she would still be re-telling to me the part where Percy gets trapped in the tunnel because of a rock fall.
And as if just bringing her to the show was not enough, her mother went further and spoilt her by buying a Thomas light stick (it cost me 15 smackeroos!!!!! And I STILL bought it! Can you belive it???), which she was so thrilled over and was constantly waving it about in the dark, and a jigsaw puzzle ($5 for a small piece of cardboard cut up into 6 smaller pieces). Daylight robbery I tell you but aiyah, once in a loong looong time is OK lah hor, Kin Yew? Hehehe...And anyway, from the way she was clutching and staring at her jigsaw during the intermission and how even tonight she is insisting on sleeping with her Thomas light stick, I think its money well spent lah! Hohoho!
I thoroughly enjoyed the show for the great Mommy and Daughter time together. I hardly spent much time with her this week even though it was the school holidays and all as we had "fostered" her out to her grandparents so they could spend some precious time with her. It was a nice break for us lah but I do miss the little girl. Heh!
Anyway, hope you had a great time today Sweetie, cos Mommy certainly did! ^^
Ahhh! Nothing like a nice cuppa ice-blended to wrap up a wonderful afternoon! Yes, it's go-all-out-and-spoil-your-daughter day today! :P
