Quite possibly the worst time to too, since I\u2019d just picked up a bunch of blu-ray discs \u2013 the last two Harry Potter films in the series, and Stargate Universe \u2013 that was to had been our weekend movie marathon. We found a replacement system after brunch at Serangoon Nex, but upon reaching home discovered that there was a packaging error \u2013 speaker audio cables had been left out.<\/p>\n<p>Argh. A quick trip to Compass Point\u2019s DIY store would get me what I need. That\u2019s when Ling suggested that I bring Hannah out for daddy-daughter bonding. She chuckled that Hannah loves taking buses, and she\u2019d love me to bits if I did! It was a terrifically humid and sunny Saturday afternoon and I was already not in the best mood of having to make another trip out of home after just finishing one.<\/p>\n<p>But I was intrigued by the notion. I\u2019ve of course spent time alone with Hannah at home, out shopping, or when driving her around. But this would be the first time I\u2019m on public transportation alone with her. Pictures to tell bits and pieces of our hour long trip together (aren\u2019t any pictures of the two of us though).<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; padding-top: 0px; border: 0pt none;\" title=\"blog-2012-hannah-20120317_124831-weekend-bus-trip\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chekyang.com\/musings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/blog-2012-hannah-20120317_124831-weekend-bus-trip_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"blog-2012-hannah-20120317_124831-weekend-bus-trip\" width=\"350\" height=\"467\" border=\"0\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">She has her own Ezlink card, and it&#8217;s that little yellow pouch she wears around her neck.
