Fever, Weekend Outing and BeethovenNormally, the three of us will spend an entire weekend to ourselves.
We would go out for a nice dinner (not-family-cooked) at our usual steakhouse on Saturday night (less than RM50 per dinner isn't that bad, huh?). After that, we will probably head to the Jusco Kepong to buy something as well as familiarise Little Skywalker with the kiddie rides (he is still afraid of getting into those kiddie rides for unknown reason).
Sunday would be mostly indoor activities (TV, DVDs, toys, inflatable swimming pool etc.) and a trip to the playground if the weather is good.
However, we did not managed to perform our weekend routine the last weekend though as poor Little Skywalker came down with a slight fever as the result of the measles injection the week before. He began showing signs of rising temperature throughout his body since he got up in the morning and his temper was off the charts. He was crying and shouting throughout the whole day. Poor fella... I wonder why those brilliant doctors can't come up with some vaccines that do not carry any side-effects especially to a child.
After a whole day of grumbling and yelling, J and I managed to put him to bed around 11pm while both of us continue watching our Star Trek Voyager until 3am. Phew! What a long day...
We woke up around 10am on Sunday morning while Little Skywalker was up early at 8am. We are happy to see him all well and healthy again. We figure he might have a good appetite after a whole day of suffering, so we've decided to have dim-sum buffet for brunch at MEISAN SZECHUAN RESTAURANT within the Quality Hotel (along Jalan Raja Chulan).
I've been to the restaurant with colleagues before this, but this is the first time for J and Little Skywalker. We reach there around 11am and the place is still quite empty (but with most tables reserved). We managed to get a table and started our one hour brunch. Little Skywalker managed to finish off nearly two bowl of porridge plus other dim-sum and fruits. He was really getting his revenge on the food he miss the day before. J was so busy feeding him that she almost has no time to eat herself. For me, I was busy walking to the serving table each time the waiter come up with new stock, trying to fight for food with other hungry people!
We managed to fill our stomachs to the max limit after one hour and head to our next stop (where else, Jusco Kepong again!). This time we did not bring Little Skywalker for his rides as he is already very tired from all the swallowing of food. We managed to bring him round on the shopping trolley before he fell asleep in the car on our way home.
Our Sunday dinners are usually take-aways fried stuff from the opposite road because we usually stay home to watch F1 (which majority of them are held in Europe and the live telecast starts around 8pm Sunday night). Although there is no F1 this weekend, we still rather eat take-aways due to poor weather conditions. Three of us walk with umbrella to our usual store (Little Skywalker was wearing his cartoon cap while I had on my new NY Yankees cap... cool looking) and bring back something for dinner while we continue on our Voyager series.
Funny thing about Little Skywalker, every time the theme song starts to play, he will concentrate fully on the TV screen and start his action as a musical conductor! I would really wanna skip the music, but looking at him conducting his invisible orchestra repeatedly is priceless. J and I still wonder where he got his conducting lessons from, maybe Beethoven or Mozart came to his dream and offered free lessons (which I don't mind unless they demand payment from me).Well... that's it... our family weekend activities!
