~ Meet & Greet ~

Christmas is around the corner and there are a couple of "Meet & Greet" sessions for the kids in the shopping malls. We have 2 shows to catch this week.

o O o Saturday o O o


Headed for one of Denver's favourite show - Ben 10 Meet & Greet session at Takashimaya. We were there slightly early and took some pictures with the Big Christmas tree. The show was scheduled to start at 1pm and we reached the atrium at 12 noon. There is a toy fair and it is a good opportunity for us to start sourcing for Christmas presents for the kids too. 1225pm - the queue started to form and we joined in so that we are eligible to take photos with the characters as well as the quiz session.



Generally, the questions are not easy if you are not a die-hard Ben 10 fan. Denver is too young and so he happily join in the crowd shouting and raising his hand not even knowing what is expected of him when the host picked him to answer a question. :p For every character, there is a question and answer session where prizes will be given out followed by photo taking. I only managed to persuad Denver to take a picture of him with Ben.. He simply refused to go to the stage to have his pictures taken with Four Arm and Wild Mutt. Sighz... kinda wasted..



After the session, we bought some Christmas presents and headed home to rest. Initially, we planned to go for the Pokemon show @ 7pm.. However, as we had an unexpected long, late dinner, hence the plan is re-scheduled to Sunday.


o O o Sunday o O o


Hubby took Denver for his 3rd swimming lesson while I rested at home. It's so quiet and Gladys definitely had a longer nap. After our lunch, we took Denver to Rivervale Mall for Pokemon Meet & Greet session which is showing at 1pm. Pokemon and Meow are the highlights of the show and this time round parents will need to have a minimum purchase of $20 to be eligible for photo taking with the Pokemon characters. Based on yesterday's experience, we are very certain that Denver is not keen and true enough he did not show any interest at all. Ah well.. that save us $20...



Had a nice, short nap but I was awaken by the sound of thunder! Rain starts to pour.. still we droved out to Bishan Junction 8 for dinner as hubby promised Denver to bring him there to play the arcade games in Virtualand. We played some games and spent quite a some of money and time there.



There goes my weekend... It's Monday!
