We arrived Saturday night and I spent the weekend getting over more than just jet lag... I spent the weekend getting over a month with Sofia and Mama with no nanny!!! Hahahaha... I am so sure my mom will have her own version of the same sentiment!
The Singapore Sauna-like weather didn't even register because we spent the whole Sunday at home with the air-conditioner at 16degrees (just like Spring in London or Paris... Hahaha). We even phoned-a-ninong (Sofia's favorite thin godfather) to bring us duck-that-no-longer-needs-to-pretend-to-be-chicken for dinner.
However, life was starting to get back to normal today. We both woke up around noon, just in time for Sofia's afternoon class.

| Sofia counting the Jelly Babies she was going to bring for her 18 classmates. |
 |
| She was trying to convince me that maybe she should just save the Jelly Babies for Andie, Mia, Yonso, Viele and Jillie but I told her the box had 50 packs and was more than enough for her classmates and her friends. |
Sofia was very happy that teacher also gave her one pack of Jelly Babies... to add to her stash at home.
After bringing Sofia to school, this was just past 1:00pm, when it felt like the sun was at it's hottest, I was trying to decide between shopping in Orchard Road or swimming in the pool.
 |
| Clearly. The swimming pool won. Our home is in this picture. |
 |
| The sauna is only cool if you enjoy it by the pool... or with good looking naked people (i've been told!) |
 |
| I even picked up lunch from 313@somerset (my kitchen extension) in a wet bikini with a cover-up. |
 |
| I am so going to miss our Singapore home. Last 2 months to enjoy it!!! picture shot in vivid with my Canon S95 |
After I picked up Fif from school, we went directly to the mall to cool down... buy dinner, and so she could pick out her Lego.
 |
| Sofif with her prize for weaning herself off the bottle. |
The deal was actually that I would buy her the biggest Lego she could carry if she stopped drinking milk from the bottle before sleeping when we were in London. I think it helped a lot that she just fell asleep the first few days because of jet lag... then when she was awake enough to want milk, she noticed that there was a difference in the taste of the British milk, so eventually she just stopped asking for it.
 |
| This is the "enough pictures mom! I wanna build my Lego" picture. |
I love my low maintenance daughter. She chose this because it was the nicest Lego set from the sale pile. Hahaha. I've trained her well! I convinced her it goes well with the bank and robber that she already has... because now the police can chase the robber with the truck and the boat! I also could not let her buy from the Lego Friends collection because I bought most of the nice pieces already (stocking up for her birthday!)
 |
| Sofia made 90% of this boat by herself because I was busy blogging and she got tired of waiting for me. |
I can't wait for the day when Sofia will want to buy the same 10-series Collector's Edition Lego sets that my sister and I love buying. That's going to save me some money since we'll buy it anyway. Hahaha. Just Saying.
