HortPark Day (Feb 13, 2009)

That day... daddy was working and mommy had taken leave to spend time with the kids. I mentioned to them the day before that HortPark (near my office) was nice and the kids would love it there.. and they did.



Lots to see with a variety of plants (think botanical gardens.. smaller and walkable scale).



Entry is Free, parking is not (unless you go there between 10am - 5pm, 1st hr free).



Good opportunity for the kids to learn about plants and the veggie they eat. In the pic above, the trio walked through a garden that produced edible food... Garlic, Chilli, Tomatoes, Long Beans, Peppers, Basil.. etc.

Aside from plants, there's also several playgrounds for the kids... not very crowded.




The trio love to play on slides and this particular one was long made our of more traditional material.. stainless steel.




The kids love to hang on to the bar just before they slide... here's a pic of that...



The kids love the place and we will be back again...

And so.. the Flyer re-opens.

After being shutdown due to a electrical fault in the control room, the Singapore Flyer re-opens with backup systems in-placed in record time. (sort of. Just don't ask the tenants impacted by the closure)

We took the nite "flight" as we did not want to see the on-going construction at the Marina Integrated Resort (IR).

Went on the same night where Chingay 09 was having a rehearsal and so alot of the roads was blocked. This proved to be a good thing as it restricted the crowd getting to the Flyer and we were able to get an entire capsule to ourselves.

The ride was ok.. had good views of the night skyline and of course, taking pictures at night is always a challenge. Here's a few...



We brought along our helpers as well.. they appreciated the ride. :-)

One of the reasons that we took it that day was because the kids "Gong-Gong" was leaving to go back to Taipei to work for the next 6 months(longer if required). So it was a good family time with him as well.



View from the capsule... tuff with a PnS camera!



Here's Jojo enjoying basking in the blue-light.. "Beam me up Scotty!"



After the ride, we headed to the River Hong Bao at the World's Largest Floating platform. (2 World's visits in a day!).

L, M, N, O, P

Is it me or do all kids have trouble getting this section of the alphabet song right? Whenever they sing the song, right at this point in the song.. they will go "L <insert gibberish> P".. "Q R S....etc".

Gotta record them sing this one of these days....
