It was a beautiful sunny day. On this day, people, mostly the Chinese, will celebrate their Chinese Reunion dinner. My children decided to go swimming on this day. So we booked the swimming slots and then took a bus to the swimming pool.
After swimming, we wanted to go Marsiling Mall to eat Fried Kway Tiao, but most of the stalls were closed. Only some Indian and Malay stalls were opened. So we decided to go NTUC to buy some food for Hot Pot later at home.
As soon as we were done shopping, we walked home. On the way, we saw beautiful flowers as shown above. The whole tree was blossomed with beautiful yellow flowers. We stayed there to took photographs and then proceed to go home.
Back at home, we prepared everything for the dinner. Everyone helped except Ricsson who was sleeping. Isaac shred the carrots, radish and cucumber for the Yu Sheng (Fish Salad). Clara and me prepared the rest of the dinner. Dora was so curious. That was the first time she saw Hot Pot on the table. She was popping up her head to look at the dining table. Clara asked me to look at her. She was so cute. Then just before dinner was going to be served, Dora was sitting at the dining table. She also wanted to join us!
During the dinner, Dora waited at the table. We hesitated to give her Salmon because the soup was not clear. It was tomato hot pot. In the end we did not give her anything for that day. A day before, when we had reunion dinner with my mother, Dora ate chicken for the dinner. But we soon regretted not giving her Salmon...
After dinner, we cleared the table and I was talking about Dora, counting her age and years with us. Then we was talking about what time we will have our Yu Sheng. Clara was in the kitchen washing dishes later. Ricsson and Isaac were together. I was busy with some work on the dining table too. I was not looking at Dora then. After a while, I decided to walk to Isaac's room. Ricsson and Isaac were together there. I could not remember why I walked there. As soon as I reached Isaac's room, I saw Ricsson standing at the window. I heard a sound from the window. The next moment, Ricsson told me about Dora being outside and had fallen...
