Oh my! Now I’m in a dilemma, should I post those backdated posts that were supposed to be up in June or should I write posts on what’s happening currently. Only 2nd day of school and so many events have happened….

I can’t do both (or can I?), meaning there will be 2 posts a day? Hmmmm…..nahhh… too many. Ok, go with my feelings then…. today will be a backdated post.

—————————————————————————————–

This happened on 25th June:

We decided to end the June school holidays with a loud ‘Quack’. The all-out-to-make-you-two-rascals-happy day began with a bus ride on the double-decker bus, upper deck, front seat.

These boys don’t really know how lucky they are. With car ride almost 99.9% of the time to wherever they want to go, a bus ride which so many kids dread, becomes a pleasure to my boys.

Allan had a meeting to attend to, hence we went to Suntec City separately. While waiting for him to come, the kids had fun at the Koi Garden. Binbin was so excited, he joined the fishes in the pool (accidentally)!!!!

So instead of waiting at a lovely place, with my butt glued on the bench, I was up in the open SUNNING his socks and shoes!

As the sun were setting, I had to ‘shift’ the kids from one bench to another, so as to get as little sunlight on them as possible. ‘cos if they get all sweaty and sticky, they ‘transformed’ into cranky little monsters.

The displeased brother and the happy little problem-maker…..Hmmm…

The footwear were still not completely dry after an hour. We had no choice but to leave or we would not be able to catch the last ‘Duck’ at 6pm.

Luckily we made reservations earlier, it was a full ‘Duck’. After the tickets were collected, the kids proudly wore the duck stickers on their chest.

We watched a short video briefing of the safety measures (which I could recite effortlessly 4 years ago, when my retail counter was next to the Ducktour’s counter. Listening to it  for more than a year is more than enough to ‘eat’ into my brain).

papaIt was so full, we had to sit separately. The kids with me, while Allan sat infront of us.

He came over for a brief moment just for the photo shoot.

Yes, our boys were little ducklings. Those mouth pieces, which they onced received as a free gift from one of my customers 4 years ago, which they had lost over the years, are purchasable at $3.50/piece.

So they were over the moon, when we agreed to let them rekindle their lost love by allowing them to pay for what-we think-would-be-lost-again-in-no-time. Its been proven over that when they pay for something, they treasure it more.

It gives the ‘Quack Quack‘ sound when you blow into it. Pretty cool eh? *wink*

If you were wondering if its safe enough for kids, here’s a view of them in the ‘Duck’. Keatkeat was kneeling on the seat while Binbin was standing on the floor. They are around 1.2m tall. To me, that handrail is ‘high’ enough to prevent them from falling over.

We were pretty lucky to see some dragonboats having their practises shortly after we ‘waddled’ into the sea.

My rewards from the ride: These angles of the Singapore Flyer and the Merlion could NEVER be captured if one is on land.

So will I recommend? Yes, for the kids. As for the adults, I will leave you with these 2 signboards…..
