10 Months: First time at the beach

I can't believe we only brought Andre to the beach to play with sand when he is 10 months old! Somehow, something always cropped up and plus East Coast Park is pretty far from our house. Takes some convincing to make dad drive all the way here. Fuel is not cheap you know..

Apparently, Andre wasn't very receptive of the beach as we thought he would. He was quite apprehensive of the waves.. and clung on to dad for dear life.

Someone build this world class sandcastle

And when we tried to let him kick some sand, Andre didn't like it at all. See how he is trying to keep his feet as much as he can to himself?

Quite smart actually ... he knows how not to get his feet dirty

After 1/2 hour of beach and sand exposure, we went to the nearby hawkler centre for dinner. It has been eons since we last enjoyed these favourite food. Almost impossible to dine out without the help of a helper.

We order:

1. Stingray

2. Fried vegetables

3. Boiled clams

4. Chicken Wings

5. Satay

and how could we miss this out

BEER!!
