Today, Daddy and Mummy decided to explore the main shopping district in Adelaide, so we took a train to Rundle Mall - Australia's first pedestrian street mall. Although I think we spent more time walking around than actually shopping, I did have fun observing the action from my 4-wheel drive. Mummy got me a frisbee to play with at the park, but I ended up using it as a steering wheel. The colour even matches my suitcase i.e. my pretend car!
Posing for pictures in front of a sculpture commonly known as "The Mall's Balls"(its official name is Bert Flugelman's Spheres)The best part about the trip however was the toy store. I think my parents were rather sneaky coz they pretended not to hear me when I pointed out the huge giraffe picture, but I'm too smart for them! I told them that it meant my favourite place, the toy shop was straight ahead, so off we went to visit it as our last stop.
Although I've been to various Toys'R Us stores back home, this one beats them all! Its Huge and even my parents couldn't hide their excitement over the rows and rows of toys, some of which we've not seen before in the Singapore stores. Best of all, the place was very empty and I had entire aisles of toys to gaze at all to myself and not have anyone block my view! In the end, we got Kyan a set of little cars as an early birthday present, and I became the proud owner of a toy microwave oven that has a turntable, lights up, and beeps exactly like the real thing when the 'food' has been cooked. (The Singapore stores don't have this range and I could have owned more household appliances if Daddy hadn't stopped Mummy from buying the dishwasher, the vacuum cleaner, washing machine...I think she secretly wants to play with them herself!!)
I fell asleep in the stroller during the train journey back, and, like most other shopping trips, it ended with us boys acquiring more stuff than our parents!
