A date at Fig & Olive

After several attempts (what with the men having to work,some hit by the flu bug and other commitments) for the past few weeks,we eventually met up!But it was not before having to fight through the crazy traffic going towards VivoCity.It seemed the whole nation were heading there!When we finally parked our cars,our tummies were rumbling rather angrily as it was nearly 3pm.

We had decided to try Fig & Olive.Fendy ordered a bowl of salad while Liz only picked on some items in it that she liked (a bit like me too...hehe).Hubby and I didn't have the habit of ordering salad if we eat out so we zoomed in onto the main course-Zafira Zaytoon Steak and Olive Grill Lamb.

The lamb was not bad but the olive rice was hard and grainy and none of us finished it (hubby and I both agreed that Swenson's was soooo much better.)We had a great conversation with Liz and Fendy and exchanged our parental experiences.Looking at Deana,I guess hubby and I are not the only ones who have a tough time during the little one's mealtime.For a moment,we didn't feel so alone.Hah!The two tots were hooting,laughing,bouncing,banging,tapping,twisting and turning all the while their parents were trying to put food in their tiny mouths.They chose what they want to eat (it drives me up the wall sometimes) and stuck out their tongues to splatter back what food were in their mouths.

We took out a loadful of food from our bags to satisfy them....raisins,gummy bears,cheesestick and various biscuits.Eventually,Zubayr was sharing his Graduates star munchies with Deana....extending his arm across the table to pass a star to her.Deana,with a huge,cheeky grin,took it and put it in her mouth.It was such a cute moment!

Deana tearing off the wrap-around placemat...Zubayr did the same of course!

The happy threesome...next month,it's gonna be four!

My precious.....

We walked around a little bit at the waterpark and the play area there but didn't commit our babies to play.There were many kids around and hubby decided to be a little cautious since HFMD is prevalent.Time was not on our side either and our two tots seemed to be tired.Hubby,our little one and I had been out since 9am to go shopping at Expo (in which I grabbed 5 good books by Paulo Coelho and such,bought footwear for the three of us,curtains for home,hubby got a blu-ray player for office and other 'damages to the wallet!)

So we said our goodbyes before heading home.It was a good time spent with friends (and babies!) and hopefully,we get to do this again soon! (soon means after Liz gave birth,undergone confinement period and all...hehe).
