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.

Kallang Riverside Park

Today is Hari Raya Haji and a public holiday. Daddy and Mummy decided to check out this cafe inside Kallang Riverside Park called Loysel's Toy. Apparently the reviews for this cafe were pretty good and mentioned that it will be crowded so we decided to go there earlier to avoid the crowd. It wasn't that bad when we got there. The food selection were not very encouraging and didn't have my pancakes which Mummy promised me. Thank goodness they had Babycino and I was bought over. Mummy and Daddy didn't think the food were that great there. Maybe the fact that it was located next to the Kallang River gave it some appeal.

I brought my scooter with me and after breakfast, we checked out the park. It was quite quiet for a public holiday and that was great for me cos I was just learning to play with the scooter and didn't want anyone to get in my way. Mummy and Daddy were very impressed that I picked it up quite quickly and I even showed off with I how stop with the back brakes. Mei Mei Andrea was running around the park and obviously very happy to roam around. Bu the weather was very hot and after a while, both Andrea and myself were drenched with perspiration. Daddy decided it was enough sun for the day and we headed home. I had fun in the park.

Port of Lost Wonder

Today is Nai Nai's birthday and also the Hari Raya public holiday. We decided we'll spend the day with everyone at Sentosa at the new Port of Lost Wonder because Kor Kor Evan said it is very nice and that we should try. It was a very hot  day but it didn't stop anyone from going there. While waiting to get tickets for the water park, we bumped into Kayne Jin and Asher. We were suppose to join them but wasn't sure if we could make it there so we had to plan separately.

The park is very big and had this big pirate ship in the middle just like the one at The Zoo. In fact the whole set up looks very similar to the one at the The Zoo except that this one has more sitting area and picnic area around the water park. 

I had a good time with Kor Kor Evan going down the slides and playing with the various water features. WeiEn was not too keen and did not really join us for most of the time. Andrea was with Nai Nai and Mummy at the picnic area they call The Hatch Patch. Except for the hot weather and the crowd, everyone had fun. We had to leave early because Daddy had to catch a flight to Bangkok in the evening for his business trip.

Kid's Kampong

Mummy is away in Bangkok with Aunty Sue this weekend so I got to spend the whole weekend with Daddy. Unfortunately I fell ill and was down with a high fever. We spend most part of Saturday morning at home resting as Daddy wanted me to get well soon. However, seeing that I was getting better, he decided to treat me to some longkang fishing at Pasir Ris to cheer me up.

We have never been here before and it was quite nostalgic for Daddy to drive there as Great Grandparents use to live at Pasir Ris and he spent quite a bit of time there when they were around. We found Kid's Kampong nestled in one of the farmways of Pasir Ris. It was surprisingly very quite for a Saturday afternoon and we had the whole longkang almost to ourselves. I didn't really catch any fish as they were too fast for me. Daddy caught about 5 fishes to humor me but I surprised him when i insisted that we let all of them go.

Besides longkang fishing, there was also a feeding area with many different sorts of farm animals and fishes. I think I spent the most time here feeding Japanese kois, rabbits, chickens, ducks and even turtles.

After all the fishing and feeding, it was time for me to get a treat and Daddy started with a cup of ice cream. I finished almost the whole cup myself and only offered a spoonful to Daddy. We also drove to the children's playground at Pasir Ris beach where Daddy used to play at when he visits great grandparents. It was a very big park and a lot more children here than at the Kids's Kampong. It was fun.

SAM Art Garden 2012

Today is a special day. It is a weekday but I got to leave school after lunch and spent the rest of the day with Andrea, Mummy and Daddy. Nai Nai and Ye Ye left for Genting this morning together with Gu Zhe and her whole family so there is no one to look after Andrea. Ended up Mummy and Daddy took leave to spend time with us.

We started with the Singapore Art Museum as they are having their annual children's exhibition. Mummy and Daddy brought me here last year but it seems it was more fun last year. Nonetheless, I got to watch a short cartoon about this boy and his new found friend, a penguin. Emo as I was, I ended up crying near the end of the show because the boy had to part with the penguin. But like all cartoons, there was a happy ending and the boy and his friend were reunited and they live happily ever after.

After SAM, we popped by to Food for Thought for something to eat as it was still too early to go home. Daddy gave me his ice cream from his root bear float and it was yummy. I also had fries but as it was rosemary flavored, I didn't quite like it.

On the way home, we stopped by Cold Storage and bought some grocery for tonight's dinner as Mummy will be preparing dinner. And while Mummy was preparing dinner, Daddy and I got to swim for a while and that was just awesome. It was a fun day and I enjoyed it.

Charlie & Lola

Daddy came to get me from school today because we were going for a play at the DBS Arts Centre. Charlie & Lola had great reviews from UK so Mummy got 2 tickets for a father and son bonding session.

The play was about Lola being a naughty sister and how Charlie had to help her get rid of some bad habits like not tidying up her bedroom and refusing to sleep at night. There was quite a bit of talking during the play and some kids were getting restless and we could hear them talking. Daddy wasn't very impressed with the play and didn't think they deserve all those rave reviews. We had fun nonetheless.
