To East Coast Park

Yesterday, I went to Giant for my weekly supermarketing and at the same time, to help buy 2 lobsters for my mother. Giant was having a promotion on lobster going for only $12.80 each, instead of the usual $20-$30. So since my mum said she wanted to cook Seafood paella on Monday when we go back for dinner, she told me to help her buy.

When I went, there wasnt any. So I asked the guy behind the fish counter and he said I had to order. So today, I went back Giant to collect my lobster as they called me asking me to go down and collect. After collecting the lobsters, I went to my mum's place to pass the lobsters to her and also spent some time there.

At about 5 plus pm, we left my mum's place and drove to East Coast Park lagoon food centre for dinner. I used to go there very often for dinner when I was a kid and I really enjoyed those good old times. But anyway, I always go there for the same old food- duck rice, beef kway teow (soup really good!), satay and to end off with a curry puff.



While we were eating, it started to drizzle. Vicky happened to make friends with the family sitting next to us because they have a filipino maid as well. Vicky told me that she heard the woman singing Christian song to her son. So, Vicky asked their maid if they were Christians and she said yes. So when I came back from ordering food, Vicky told me that they are Christians. So we greeted each other.

The funny thing was that when it started to drizzle and all of us sat close to each other because the rain was coming in, Caleb started to cry...Guess because it was quite humid and he just got cranky. But guess what? The Christian lady started carrying her son towards Caleb and she started singing Kids Praise songs to amuse Caleb and what do you know? Caleb was silent and listening.

When she finished singing her song, Caleb started crying again and then the lady started singing another song. It was very funny but yet, I feel so much love from a Christian family whom we just met during dinner. She sang and sang to keep Caleb from crying while my family was eating our dinner. I just felt as if we were close friends for her to do such a thing.

We also started chit chatting about the church we attend and all..

Though I didnt get to walk in East Coast Park with Caleb because of the rain, the trip down was still worth it as I got to meet this lady and her family.
