So apparently our offspring is having the "terrible twos" phase and it is hard to describe the mixture of feelings one goes through while watching her. It ranges from happiness (how she makes us laugh) to frustration (when she doesn't get her way and throws a tantrum) to amazement (when she acts all grown up). =)
She had a playdate with my mum's friend's (younger) granddaughter recently and phrases she said included:
"Come Mei-mei, hold my hand."
"Don't touch my backside!"
"I like duck rice"
"Flying!" *arms outstretched and running around* (they were at the airport)
She is the light of our lives and really brightens our day, so much so that going back to work after a long weekend really gives us withdrawal symptoms. =)

A peek into our family life
We had quite a busy weekend, which started early on Friday, thanks to National Day celebrations held by my company. Since it was a free and easy day, I picked up the offspring from her playgroup (and gave my in-laws a break!) and brought her to my office. Interesting thing was that due to her age (and that most of the events were held in open areas), she didn't need a pass to get in. LOL She also contributed an artwork for my office cubicle wall, entitled (i think) "A study on circles" highlighter on A4 paper. We picked up wibblewamble from her office and headed off for dinner at the new place in MBFC (food was disappointing, service was terrible and price was steep).
Our Saturdays are typically spent running around doing errands or attending events, but for some strange reason, we ended up at MBS and had DB for lunch while the offspring took her nap. We decided to go visit the Arts Science Museum with the Harry Potter exhibition and for some strange reason, our muggle daughter got very excited about Harry Potter, especially his car (which was dangled from the ceiling). The exhibition itself was pretty fun although she was spooked by some of the darker bits. Dinner was interesting (and pricey) at this new Jap teppanyaki place where we had our own teppanyaki chef. I now know what proper teppanyaki should taste like (i.e. not drenched in oil and butter).
Sunday we had breakfast at one of our fav brekkie places (although it was a little pricey)) and then enjoyed the live country western music at our church canteen, which is always fun, especially with our daughter dancing to the music, waving excitedly to me, and talking to her grandparents (sometimes all three at the same time). Nice for us to have some time together as my parents took her for the afternoon and we visited the Tanjong Pagar railway station as they were having an event there.
We ended off Sunday with dinner at the extended family, then while heading home with our daughter repeatedly asking one of the hardest questions we've heard to date: "what time is Harry Potter's car?". My silly answer? I'll tell you what time it is, it's sleepy time. (Yes i know none of that makes sense lol). She promptly fell asleep before we got home. What a gal.
