that means, we can spend the whole day with the birthday boy! :)
we have a tentative plan for him but the day played out itself really well with all of us enjoying it lots!
lets see what we did today:
(left) bright & alert when we left house at 10am! with a party pack full of snacks, he is ready to rock the day, haha.
he's wearing our bday pressie for him too - birkenstock sandals :)
(right) on board the mrt with papa - where are we heading so early in the day?
to suntec that is! we are going on the duck tour! *wee*
yz was especially excited with boarding "a car that can turn into a boat too".
happy boy with his duck tour ticket
we had a 15mins window time for dim sum brekkie at food republic before boarding time at 11am.
the duck snaked its way past suntec, the flyer and eventually to the splashpoint opposite costa rhu condo to "splash" into the kallang river!
in the water!
the tour was quite a short one at around 45mins and >than 80% of the passengers were locals. wahaha.
still, it was interesting to hear some nuggets of previously unknown information about singapore from the guide.
we were very lucky to complete the river cruise part before it started to rain while on our way back to suntec near the end of the tour. *phwee*
i wouldnt like to be in the water with the heavy rain afterwards.
MBS!
the merlion who has too much drinks the night before.
got this duck whistle for him which makes a quacking sound - ha.
after the tour, we window-shopped abit at suntec while mulling over lunch choices.
i decided to treat hubbi and the elder son to the supposedly famous shin-sapporo ramen (next to old town cafe) for lunch.
we thought the ramen was pretty decent, especially the soup base being light and tasty.
but i guess, we still prefer those from marutama @ liang court and nantsuttei @ parco millenia. *slurp*
after lunch, we were pretty at a loss whats next.
in the end, we let yz chose (by pointing randomly on the mrt map - we restricted him to the yellow circle line) and he pointed at bras basah stop! which was a brilliant idea since we love books. :)
so off we go!
(left) this display is interesting at promenade station. and bras basah station design is cool with alot of natural light flooding in.
(right) when we exited the station, we got distracted by SAM (Singapore Art Musuem) next to it and decided to explore here instead.
we were in luck for one of the exhibition was free for today due to public holiday.
so we took a slow stroll through Amanda Heng's exhibition - Speak to me, walk with me.
i wouldnt say i came out of it particularly enlightened or whatsoever, but its a good exposure to yz i presume.
he did asked some questions of which i have no answers to most of them. lol.
and then, it started raining heavily again. @_@
so we waited out for awhile at the entrance before deciding to go for another round of *munch munch*. ha.
waiting for rain to subside
tired of waiting, we adjourned to the eatery next to SAM - Food for thought!
a very alert yz here. haha.
(left) photo time while waiting for the food to come
(right) mixed berries pancakes - *yummeh*
the food was pretty good. i wonder when can we come here again to try the mains?
the rain finally stopped and we walked to bras basah complex as planned. SAM has been a delightful detour.
hubbi kept saying he didnt feel like he's in sg but more like exploring new places when we were overseas.
i couldnt agree more!
bras basah brought back all the memories of my schooldays when i went there to browse through different book stores and getting different kind of pens/highlighters from the art & craft shops.
after yz had his share of browsing through the children's section, we moved on again (yes, lots of walking...).
back to boring raffles city where we did our usual stuff - window shopping and settling our dinner.
my window shopping led to me buying a pair of shoes from JWest. BUT BUT BUT there is a 20% sale.
so its a good buy.........i presume.
after the early dinner, all of us were mad tired and we were home in a jiffy via mrt (its only 6+pm! haha).
and poor yz having waking up so early this morning and missing his nap, K.O.ed after his milk feed at 8pm!
goody good.
hubbi and i can spent time watching the tube together... until we hit the sack too. :P
it has been a long and fun day for us! i think the elder son really enjoyed himself.
dun forget, he depreciated his full party pack of snacks bit by bit the whole day.
that must be the totally awesome for him! :)
