All About Your Child

Told you I was exhausted yesterday right? I even emphasized it over at my personal blog, just to tell you how much ‘pain’ I felt physically, even though my mood was way over the moon!

This moring, Keatkeat made me laughed so hard the moment he opened his sleepy eyes.

“Mommy, *giggle* my here and here (stroking his thighs) feels very ticklish *giggle* and very pain too…. like got blue-black (bruises)”

*huge laugh* I simply can’t control!!!!

My 5 year old boy had his very first muscle cramp, because of the extensive walking yesterday!!! *huge laugh* Some of my close friends DO think feel that I’m a sadist at times…. *laugh*

I believe his ‘leg-power’ was put to the test when he and I were taking turns chasing each other on this approximately 300m bridge that links the Esplanade to the Merlion.

This photo of the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay was taken by Keatkeat. His skill is definitely improving, thanks to his better control of his ‘shaky-hands’. Too bad he’s not tall enough even after he tip-toed. So the hand rail was still captured in the photo…..

Keatkeat really enjoyed his ride on the Singapore Flyer yesterday, so much so that he wants to HOLD it on his palms. *laugh*

To show you how much MORE he loves the Merlion, he KISSED it! *laugh*

When we were there, a tourist came by and asked Allan to help him take a funny shot with the Merlion.

We are not very innovative people, but we are definitely ‘copy-cats’; hence we did what the tourist wanted Allan to snap. *laugh*

These were the other shots of the place. (left to right) The baby Merlion standing at the back of the ‘father’. The father Merlion with his endless ‘vomit’ AND the beautiful scenery seen at the viewing platform: The national Floating Stadium and the Singapore Flyer…..

Please don’t hate me for saying this: “I’ll continue to blog the rest of the journey tomorrow!” *laugh*

I’ve mentioned 2 places already : Singapore Flyer and the Merlion, so down to 3 more places we went on 18th December 2008….you need a clue? Look at the last photo, see the white balls on the water? *wink*

Will Blog about that tomorrow…..till then, sleep tight, don’t let the mosquitoes bite! *laugh*

A promise is a promise and when its given to a child, you better NOT break it.

It’s been a long wait for my boys. Remember my promise to them in this post? For my non-Singaporean friends, you can go to that post too, to read about the details of the Singapore Flyer.

There was a school trip organised on the last day of school last month to go here and for the very first time, I psycho-ed my boy NOT to go, because I wanted it to be a family affair!

Today is THE DAY! They are having a “Buy 2 adult tickets and get 2 children tickets for FREE!” during the school holidays. *yeah* So we paid S$59.00 in total for the 30mins ride.

(from left to right) This is how the capsules looked like when they leave the building. Before you board, you’ll be given an audio guide with headphone that tells you (in story form) about the different spots on that map (right).

The kids were in-loved with the audio guide and headphones. There was also a small door gift for the kids too. There were stickers and games for them to play with. But they were too engrossed with the scenery.

Ok, now the sceneries… (left to right) Benjamin Sheares Bridge over the Kallang River. The many hotels and shopping malls, with the 3rd tallest hotel in the World at the back ~ Swissotel The Stamford. My favourite place ~ Marina Barrage.

Marina Golf Course. The Garden at Marina EAst. The Future Integrated Resort (under construction), or better known by most Singaporeans here as Singapore’s future Casino!

The Floating Staduim. The Central Business District. The East Coast Park Expressway.

Our most exciting moment was when we are at the top of the world, standing tall at 165m above the city! As we were entering the building towards the end, we were surprised that there was a mini-artifact of the future Integrated Resort ~ Pretty-Stylo!

When we were OFF the ride. The kids were too tempted to go to the Yakult Rainforest Discovery right at the Foyer of the place, where they could see a couple of tortoises and lots and lots of ‘Lucky’ Koi Fishes…..AND FEED THEM TOO!

This was just one of the 5 places we went today…. but I’m very tired now, so will do the rest tomorrow….

Good Nite….

*Zzzzzzzzzz…..*
