Two Meet and Greet sessions today

Today was a very busy, fun and tiring day. I had arranged to go for two Meet and Greet sessions for Josie to have fun. 

First was Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip live Christmas concert, held in The Centrepoint, Level 1. It was raining heavily at that time, so I was alittle surprised at the turnout. Quite a number of enthusiasts. 

We are issued a photo pass for photo taking at the end of the concert. 

30 minutes of singing and dancing. Happy Josie. Very enjoyable. But at some point, there's dance along. The older kids stood up to dance along, Josie got blocked. Haha..

Our photo with the Chipmunks. Happy Josie = Happy mammy. 

After the photo taking with Alvin and the Chipmunks, we headed to Marina Square. There's a meet and greet session with Pororo Park's characters. 

I joined the queue 30 minutes earlier. Kiasu I know. Same, we were issued a photo pass. 

Waiting patiently. 

And boy, was I disappointed. There's no sing and dance. It's a pure Meet and Greet photo session. There I was, thinking, more live performance for the no-TV Josie. 

But the plus point is, the photo pass has a number on it. And the photo queue is based on the number. Because.... When the characters arrived, the mummies just rushed and cut in front of me. Hey. It doesn't mean that there are only two of us, you can bully us with your village. Very angry. One of the queue cutters, she WOKE my napping Josie while in the queue. What ugly actions. Lol but the timid me, just kept quiet all the way. 

Anyway, my photo with Pororo Park characters. 45 minutes of waiting for 3 minutes on stage. Haha...

Unsatisfied with the programme, we went upstairs to take another photo of them. So far away lol

Overall, Josie is happy. Mammy will be happy. I will not let these ugly actions spoil my day. So thank you to the Pororo Park's photo taking queue number system. 

Mickey and friends

Christmas is coming. School holidays has started. The malls in Singapore have started the holiday spirits with Christmas decoration and shows. The mummy groups had kindly shared loads of malls' shows in the group. Ok I'm the leech. Haha oh well, I'm still a new learning mum, there's still loads to learn. 

First up, Mickey and friends meet and greet at Takashimaya. Dressed up my baby in her new shoes that we bought last friday. Only to realise that 20 minutes into our journey to town, she had became a Cinderella. I swore I would had cried, if baby's not in my arms. I really love that pair of sneakers. ALOT. And she was dressed to matched the sneakers. So did I. T_T

Baby's left foot is only left with her bunny socks without her cute pink bunny ear sneaker. T_T

When we reached Takashimaya, the stage front was empty, but the queue for the meet and greet was already snaking. Ok, 5 groups of families in front of me. And we were 30minutes early. Soon the queue got longer. 

Finally we were ushered in. And there were some question games for the older children. Then, Donald, Mickey and Minnie came dancing out. 

Baby was engrossed in their singing and dancing. Initially she wouldn't sit still and kept crawling away (for the question game part). But she was fixated at them, pointing and eh-ing at them throughout. Happy baby = happy mammy. 

One song later and it's time for photos! Baby was overwhelmed. She don't know who to look at... She turned left and right to look at the characters and not once at the camera. Haha...

After the photo taking, I went and bought her a new pair of shoes. Frozen sandals from the fair. It's just a sort of a redemption for my aching heart. Sighs. Not as nice as the bunny sneakers though. 

Lesson learnt. CHECK the shoes eveytime. Sighs...
