We made the bear when we were living in Dubai and somehow when we returned home, the seam of the bear came out. I tried to sew it back but the thread I had at home was too thin.. I tried to ask for the thread at the shop but they said I have to bring the bear back for them to sew it...
So I put it aside and forgot about it.. till recently, I thought I better get it done before I forget about the bear totally!
So the other day, after his Robotics Workshop, we made our way to the Build A Bear Workshop to get the bear fixed:)
After his workshop, I asked Ace what lunch he wanted... and he suggested that we go eat spaghetti... I was REALLY surprised because he doesnt usually choose to eat that if he has a choice... When I asked him which spaghetti he had in mind, I was again surprised that he was referring to "That place we went with Phoebe and Ganma Karen..." because he has never asked to go to that place before.
Though it was not exactly on the way... I decide that I will give in to his request.. so we took a bus down to Suntec to eat "SPAGHETTI".... before we made our way to Orchard to get the bear fixed:)
Anyway, at this interesting shop, we saw CARDBOARD table soccer game.. looks so cool...
Anyway, once we started playing with it... we decided it is a bad idea. It is too light and the table keeps moving as you play with it...
We made our way to Plaza Sing and I am glad we came cos I finally kept my promise to bring Ace to Hemley's. When they first opened in Singapore, Ace was very excited to visit because we had such fond memories of it in Dubai. We used to visit every 1-2 weeks and they have held so many interesting activities such as Easter Egg Hunts, Smurf Colouring Workshops there.... so Ace kept asking me to bring him to the one in Singapore....
After browsing around in Hemleys , we went to search for the Build A Bear Workshop ..... And we walked in and I explained that my bear's seams opened up and asked if they can add cotton and sew it up again..
Ace kept walking away... and I kept asking him to go forward to tell Jie JIe in the shop whether the bear is fluffy enough... But he kept walking away.. It took me a while to realize that he might have been self conscious about liking soft toy bears at age 11...
Anyway, we got the bear fixed and Ace was very happy and declared that Ace Bear can go to bed with him tonight:)
While waiting for the bear to be fixed, we were playing around with the idea of buying an outfit for his bear.. but hor, I realized that the outfits sold cost more than his bear lor!!! So we gave up the idea..
Anyway, I saw someone who made this for their daughter... something that looked similar to this..
And I remarked to Ace that the shop is very clever Bears only have two legs and so only need to buy two shoes. In doing this, parents are forced to buy 4 shoes:) hahahhaa....
We had to colour with magic ink.... WHile coloring, we saw Lele and his mum! Small world.. we always meet them everywhere we go... likely it is because Ace and Lele have very similar preferences:)
After some time.. we finally completed our colouring!
THere was another 4D photo taking thingy... but you had to spend there to do it...
So we did not do it.
Ace said he wanted to go find Lele and so we did... the boys spent time together playing in one corner of the supermarket while the mums went supermarket shopping and chatted...
When we were done shopping, we found a receipt and realized the amount would allow us to do the 4D photo and we decided to go take a photo together!:)
Then it was time to go home.. But Max told me to settle dinner ourselves.. and so I decided to give Annie godma a beep to see if she is free to dinner with us... And she was... so we went over to meet her cos she had just placed an order for her dinner at a Korean restaurant...
And that was the end of our very interesting day out together:)
