The Highlight of the Trip

Amazingly, the following day, we were all able to make it to the 9am Sunday Mass. After Mass, we had breakfast near my brother's house, and then we all proceeded to the highlight of our trip, Baby Clare's baptism ceremony at 12 noon.

After that, we had a celebration lunch with all family members, including Clare's Mommy's parents at Jurong Point. Then the girls went for a toy shopping trip, before we went back to my brother's house to see the new Daddy in action - bathing the baby :) We ended the day with a yummy seafood dinner at Melben Seafood with my ex-colleagues. 

And the following day, we had a yummy Ramen breakfast at Orchard.

And on the way home, I have two soundly sleeping girls in the plane....

 If you noticed, I gave them a pacifier to alleviate the discomfort caused by the change in the cabin air pressure during the flight take-off and landing (just in case, even though Jie Jie is too big for this)

 Goodbye Singapore!
