Creative Cookies Making Class @ Genius R Us on 19 Sep 2010

This morning, Jeston woke up @ 8 plus as usual during the weekends. He drank his milk and wanna poo so given no choice, i gotta pull myself up to put him on the potty. After he was done, I used the wet tissue to clean him and dragged him for shower. He do not like to shampoo his hair cos he dislike the feeling of water dripping down his face. Hence, it was alwis a struggle dragging him for shower during the weekends cos my MIL will handle him during weekdays. I will ask him to tilt his head while I place a hand towel over his face. I bot a goggle for him but he dislike it. Luckily, daddy suggested tilting his head. Otherwise, I gotta carry him to shampoo his hair.

I signed him up for Creative Cookies Making @ Genius R Us @ City Square Mall @ 11am. As daddy wasn't ready, we took the MRT to Farrer Park. It ws straight access from the MRT to City Square Mall. Thus, we reached Genius R Us on the 7th floor around 10 plus. There was a birthday party being held. I approached the receptionist, a lady who was also the instructor and paid $12 for both adult and kid. They had a $8 promotion for each class to celebrate their 8th year old anniversary. $8 was for kid and additional $4 for adult.

There were 3 different sessions for $32 for both adult and kid but i'm worried about Jeston's attention span hence only signed up for one. We waited till 11.15pm before more people began strolling in. There was a lady who signed up with 3 other friends and their kids. They were seated on the same table. We were seated at the other table dressed in aprons. Jeston was dressed in a blue apron with a blue hat while I was in a purple apron. We were given the ready made butter mixture for the cookies. There were 2 instructors, a lady (the receptionist) and a guy. They showed us the rolling pin, the cookies cutter, the decoration colouring bits and another tool for scooping the cookies....oops, nummy is a very forgetful student.

I helped Jeston cut the star cookie and he excitedly furnish it with lotsa decorative colouring bits and chocolate chips. He filled the entire cookie with it. We continued to make the bear which he wanna give daddy, the flower for granny, heart for gugu and bell for grandpa. The lady instructor illustrated on how to make the caterpillar which Jeston kept for himself. After we were done, there they went to the Rowenta oven for baking. Jeston was the 1st to complete as we only managed to carve out 6 cookies from the dough while others made thinner cookies hence some made up to 10 of them. Another lady staff taught Jeston how to make a poodle balloon which he chosen over the sword.

Eventually, the poodle was done by her cos Jeston's too young to do it on his own. The poodle possessed a long, long tail. The rest of them continued to queue for the balloons while we waited patiently for the cookies. They proceeded with another class. I could smell the aroma of the yummy cookies. Was td to pack them in the plastic container as the staff were busy with the next class. We headed to the kopitiam food court for lunch. It was considered quite quiet for a Sun. Daddy bot fish slice mee sua which is Jeston's favourite. He enjoyed it thoroughly while I consumed the Korean set as the stall was juz next to us. But it was not that fantastic afterall though it had the recommendation for Live to Eat. Daddy had the economical rice which cost $4. Food here are quite exp.

After lunch, we carried on to White Sands where Jeston attended his weekly music class. The teacher, Fiona, is very patient with kids. We were originally enrolled in Hougang branch but switched to White Sands from September. The class lasted for 45 mins. We were a bit late so missed the opening hello song. There were 5 of us in the class. It included a short keyboard session after the singing, flashcards and games. But Jeston alwis love to press the other buttons on the keyboard than the keys themselves so had a hard time persuading him to concentrate on the respective keys. I guess it takes more time for him to pick up.

After the class, i rushed to the ATM on the 2nd floor to withdraw money for his Sep & Oct lessons. Both of us were exhausted so headed home for nap before visiting his maternal granny in the evening as what we usually do every Sat.
