Received a newsletter from RGPS that they will be organising a Mid Autumn Celebration Day on 17 Sept. I thought this will be an interesting event for Ci
eran to join (besides Ashley). Anyway, Cieran's childcare is just nearby. Most importantly, during the week I will be busy at work with training program and somehow, I felt 'guilty' towards them each time that I will not be able with them when they woke up in the morning. (I would have left the house at 6plus am before t
hey opened their eyes). That day, I managed to arrive early to pick Cieran (training ends on time at 5.15pm and I completed the clearance at 5.40pm). I realised that there was more cars than usual parking at Watten Park due to the celebration. Met Ashley's classmate and her parents who advised me to better secure the lot at Watten Park as expected to be crowded over 
at RGPS or road along VJC. Nonetheless, I decided to take the risk and try to see if I can find any parking near the landed property that is within walking distance to RGPS (my usual parking spot). Very lucky indeed that I found one! Cieran wa
s in happy mood. Already, I saw several parents queuing at the entrance. Many parent volunteers were already there, assisting the events. Entry to the school was by tickets only. The queue leading us to collect the goodies bags. We got 2 since I bought tickets. The bags were too large that I find it cumbersome. As we walked in, we saw many parents and children.. and of course, many booths of activities/food/drinks. I didn't expect such an interesting event. Immediately I led Cieran to the vehicles drop off point where Ashley will be meeting us there. She was extremely excited to see us ... her 1st greeting was "Why are you so late? I want to buy popcorn!". We managed to locate a vacant table and settled the children while I went off to get 'proper dinner' for them. As promised to Ashley, she can buy popcorn only after she had taken her dinner. I bought beehoon with chicken
nuggets, hotdog and fish balls plus a Ribena bubble drink. It was quite expensive I felt (total $7.50). When the children finished their meals, we left the bags on the chair and went off 'exploring' the booths. The c
hildren love the balloons sculpturing booth and we ended up a hello kitty balloon for Ashley, and Elmo for Cieran. Can you imaging it cost me $12 for that?! Next, the children ran off for the playground. It was tough for me to 'monitor' Cieran as he simply enjoy running around... as he was rather
short comparing to the girls, it's a challenge trying to hunt down his movements. I asked Ashley to keep an eye on his brother of which she's good at, and she's a great helper! After the fun playground, we continued our exploration around. There's a booth on lantern making (art & craft), mooncake making, fishing, lantern with riddles parade, recycled art, old photos counter and even a counter for lighting of lanterns (for lantern walk). After a stroll around, we went up to the school hall for performance. The 1st performance greeted us with gymnastics dance. Followed by hip hop and children were welcomed on stage to learn/dance. We didn't stay through the whole event as it was getting la
te, and I was feeling 'dirty' from a full day work. Glad that the children didn't have much objections and we headed home at 8.30pm. The event went well and we all had wonderful time @ RGPS.
A fun-filled Mid Autumn for the kids!
