Gardens by the Bay

Pat's Schoolhouse is closed today and Mummy and Daddy decided to also take the day off to spend time with me.

We decided to check out Gardens by the Bay as we have not been there before. Many of Mummy's friends told her it is nice so thought we will go on a Monday to avoid the crowd. As Gor Gor Evan is on school holiday today, Daddy brought him along together with Nai Nai for the outing.

When we got to the park, Daddy surprised me with one of his old camera. I like to take pictures and always asked for his big and heavy camera which he is afraid I will drop it one day. I hang the camera around my neck and went around shooting.

We bought tickets for the tram ride which brought us around the whole park in comfort. It is a very big park and with Mei Mei Andrea's pram with us, I don't think we would have walked very much. So the tram ride was good. We decided to check out the Flower Dome. It was very big and cooling in there and we saw many different types of flowers and plants.

After the Flower Dome, we wanted to check out the Cloud Forest but unfortunately it was closed today for maintenance. We then move on to the OCBC Skyway. I like the Skyway as it brings me up very high and I can see a lot of things from the bridge that hangs in the sky. We took a lot of pictures here and spent some time looking at the tall buildings around Raffles Place. I saw Mummy and Daddy's office buildings too.

We had to cut short our visit to the park as there were dark clouds forming and besides it was lunch time. We headed to Chinese Swimming Club for lunch as it is usually not very crowded there during weekdays. We had a good time at the park and will probably come back again in the evening when the lights are on.

ARPC Church Camp

I attended my first church camp with ARPC over the weekend. It was a 2 day event held at Catholic Archdiocesan Youth Centre at Hougang and many kids from different age groups were there. Gor Gor Evan was at the same place but for the Primary 1s and 2s, they get to stay over from Friday evening to Sunday. The younger campers like Weien and myself do not stay over. 

I had a lot of fun with my friends from the Moses group. We sang songs and also did quite a bit of art and craft. We also got to play outdoors and of course not forgetting the numerous snacks we had. It was a good experience and I look forward to staying over next time when I am older.

Happy Diwali 2012

Today we celebrate Diwali which is popularly known as the Festival of Lights. Mummy decided to dress me up with an outfit which Uncle Som and Aunty Mou gave me some time ago. Mummy herself also dressed up with an outfit given by Aunty Tresor. Unfortunately Mei Mei Andrea does not have any special outfit so Mummy tried to dress her as close to an Indian outfit as possible. We visited Uncle Som and Aunty Mou in the morning and brought Sumit's belated birthday present to him. He was delighted to receive his first scooter.
