SEA: Day 40 – Livin’ La Vida Loca

Creative titles are hard to come up with. Also, always having entertaining content is rough. If I were writing this blog to try to get readers, I would be in a lot of trouble. Good thing I only write for myself. I can’t forget that as time goes on.

“Fast steak” popular in Japan

I actually remember this day very well because it started off with lunch at Pepper Lunch Express. It’s freaking delicious. I believe it is a chain in Asia. I wish they would come to the states. On second thought, naw, cause it wouldn’t taste as good. This is one of Ahnah’s favorite spots to eat, and I can taste why. I’d eat here on every Singapore visit.

I also remember this day very well because it’s the first time I ever went to a baby convention. I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it’s just a convention with tons of baby supplies or … other baby stuff. I have no idea. What I do remember though, was that there was a stage surrounded by a stage, presumably for some show. We found some empty seats and just sat to rest the legs. Senah having the energy of a Duracell refused to sit still very long and took off somewhere with Ahnah following close behind. Livin’ La Vida Loca blared on the speakers.

We don’t know many of the words.

At some point, Chris went somewhere to go do something. Nothing secretive, I just can’t remember. The most important part is that I was now sitting alone with a stroller and other baby stuff in the second row facing a stage. Children started to come onto the stage signaling the beginnings of the show. I was just minding my own business when I realized people were looking my way and giving strange looks. After a few minutes, someone came up to me and asked me what I was doing there. I panicked thinking they must think I’m some predator. I let them know I was with a family who happened to be no where in sight. This seemed to satisfy the lady for a few minutes, but then eventually came to me again asking if my kid was going to perform. I said no, and she left. I think at this point, I should have just gotten up and left the area, but where would I go? And what if Chris and Ahnah came back looking for me? Well, Chris eventually did come back, and he told me the front rows were reserved for parents who’s children were performing. I was a bit embarrassed, even though I shouldn’t have been. It’s not like there were signs or the seats were roped off. Either way, I got up and grabbed all the things that were around me. I noticed I had taken up 3 seats by myself. Maybe that’s why people kept giving me strange looks- I was that rude person taking up extra seats, I guess?

I’m reading the last paragraph again, and I don’t really like it. I’m actually not great at telling stories. I either make it sound more exciting than it actually was, or just ruin the climax somehow. I think the above was one of my poor stories. But whatever.

Onto the next journey, which sends us to the Night Safari! This was actually a pretty cool tour. This zoo gave tours at night to showcase their nocturnal animals. Very cool. The coolest part was when we got to see a pack of wolves and they all howled at the moon. I wish I howled with them and got a picture. But they didn’t come out very well. So here’s a picture of Senah chewing on her own hand.

My calendar says we got home around 10:30 at night. Senah was a trooper being able to stay out so late! Or she may have thrown a fit, I’m not quite sure. Either way, good day.
