Up Up and away

The vacation break is here - took my family on the Singapore Flyer yesterday 4 Sep 08. This week was a promotion period for teachers, so I get to travel free. Paid about $70 for 2 other adults and 2 children. Inside the cabin were benches which could sit about about 20 people. There were about 11 people in our cabin. As the cabin moved up higher, it was a wonderful sight to behold. At the apex, 165m above sea level, we had a panaromic view of the city landscape as well as the surrounding Marina bay leading into the sea. The floating platform where the NDP was held, the Esplanade, the stands for the upcoming F1 night race, the construction work of the IR, buildings, highways, ships, islands, ... could all be seen from inside the capsule as it revolves slowly, making a complete revolution in about 30 minutes. The children were naturally excited, flipping out their mobiles to take pictures of the wonderful sight. Towards the end of our journey, we had a glimpse of the completed IR through a constructed model, which they say can only be seen through taking the Flyer.

We thank God that the weather was fine; it didn't rain neither was it too hot. After the trip, we made our way for dinner at Marine Parade. The children stayed over at my mom's place for the night.

High School Musical ON ICE

Yoo hoo! Came at last! The moment that I had been waiting for had arrived. It was that cold, rainy day...

Groaning, I followed my parents to the food court that was packed with people. The floor seemed wet and dirty, like that in the wet market. There was also a cigeratte lying on the floor. "Urggghhhh!" I HATE dirty! Tiptoe-ing across the wet floor, we finally found an empty table. We ordered the food of our choice, and settled down to eat. The food did not agree with my expectations and I found that the food found at the food court that my family usually dined at, was much, much better. After that, to my delight, we bought a refreshing drink, a strawberry sort-of milkshake "thing". It was good for quenching my thirst. Finally, we headed for the auditorium where the "high school musical on ice" was held. I was so excited that every step I took, I seemed to bounce right off the ground. I was sooooo excited!!!! During the show, I kept taking photos! I wanted to have a memory of what had happened. During the break in the middle of the show, I spotted a very extra beautiful cup. After much pleading we bought it. After the whole show, my parents brought back 2 sleepy children back home. This was an unforgettable day......
