17 May 11

17 May was a public holiday, and we decided to bring Charlene back to my parents' place. Considered an outing for Charlene. Charlene was more responsive than the previous visit and made some coo-ing sounds. 

The other purpose of the visit was to collect the bath-room accessories that my aunt has bought for us. After the house visit, we swung by to our new place to store them. Feeling a need to maximise time, we decided to hop down to Sembawang lighting house to purchase the wall lights. 

We decided to split up cos it looked like it was raining.  Dez made his way to the lighting house, whereas I brought Charlene to the shopping centre to change her nappy. Charlene was quite upset about the wet diaper and kept kicking in the cot. As the escalator was slightly inclined downwards, Charlene was almost falling out of the pram. I had to do some gymnastics to hold on to her and the pram at the same time... attracted stares from the other shoppers.

After Dez bought the lights, we shopped around Giant for curtains. It was tough deciding the curtains to buy. Either the colour don't match our color theme or it was too thin and cna't keep out sunlight. In the end, we didnt buy any.

Just as we are about to leave, Lin yen messaged me to say that Starbucks having offer for their frappe at half price! Dez excitedly went to queue for a extra-coffee, caramel frappe. 

All in all, a good and busy day today. 

A year back, we won't imagine this to be possible... going on a shopping trip with Charlene. Things has improved a lot since her discharge... and we thank God for His blessings upon our family. Praise the Lord!
