Science Centre

2 days ago, Papa did not go to his office. Instead, we had a family outing to the Singapore Science Centre because Papa wanted to see the Da Vinci exhibits. We first saw the big dinosaur model near the entrance of the Mac Donalds there and Papa carried me while looking at it with me.

Then we had breakfast at Mac Donalds. Then Papa went to view the Da Vinci exhibits while Mama brought me into Science Centre to play at the water playground.

When we were at the water playground, there were no one else except for me and Mama. It's the first time I am allowed to play at a water playground and I was a little ginger about it. Mama had to carry me and taught me to stick my hand out at the water fountain. It took a few tries before I dared to do it on my own. I would stick my hand out at the fountain, get a little splash on my face and then run to Mama who is just a few steps away from me. As a result, Mama could not get much good shots of me playing with water. Maybe I am not such a water baby afterall.

After drying me, Mama brought me to see other exhibits. This is probably my first discovery at the Science Centre. The green button actually lighted up when I pressed it! It took Mama about seven shots before she could capture the one below. You can imagine I really pressed this button many times. But maybe I was a little scared I may get into trouble when it lighted up because I actually walked away after it lighted up. haha.... :)

We were also in time to catch the Thunderbolt show. It was actually a demonstration using high amount of electric charges of about 3oo ooo volts. I was busy examining my sandal when there was a sudden loud sound and Mama held me close to her body and covered my ears for me. We left before the show ended as Mama wanted to protect my ears from the last experiment which really was quite loud. But Mama really thinks it's a thrilling demonstration. Perhaps she will bring me here again to watch it when I am much older. Hopefully this demonstration will continue to run for many years to come. It is such a pity if I am unable to see it when I can understand more physics.

We met up with Papa who finished watching the exhibits and I even took a short nap and Papa and Mama got to watch some of the exhibits at their leisure.

Then I woke up and we saw a few more exhibits and took some interesting pictures before we left for lunch.

The room below makes use of the optical illustion that is created by a room with sloping floor. Papa said it's the "trick" Hollywood used to make Elijah Wood look short in the movie Lord Of The Rings.

Here's another one of the exhibits that make use of optical illusion. See Papa's head on a platter!



Mama thinks the Science Centre is very good place for our family of three to spend our day together as she can bring me to the Waterworks Playground while Papa can take his time to view the exhibits. His favourite exhibits are the ones about Mathematics. Would I grow up to like Mathematics too? ;P

Seasme Seed Paste

hi all,

A couple of weeks ago, my da yi po came to visit us and Mama brought her and me to the Hong Kong cafe at Yew Tee Point. They ordered a black seasme seed paste. It's a Chinese dessert made of grounded seasme seed. I didn't seem to like it very much after taking a few mouthfuls. but still, it's good enough for Mama to capture some shots. For your viewing pleasure. :)

I Was So Going To Swensons

A couple of Sundays ago, Papa felt like having western food for dinner and so we dined at Swensons at Bukit Panjang Plaza. This is me waiting for the dinner to be served. Papa didn't like it that I was making some noise while waiting for the food and decided to silent me with the pacifier.


Papa ordered a pizza for himself and Mama plus a kids' set meal of Fish and Chips for me. As the pizza came before my set meal, Mama decided to let me try the crust of the pizza with the mozarella cheese.

Yummy! I love it.

When the fish and chips was served, Mama continued to give me the pizza as the fish was still very hot, having just been deep fried. Well, there were actually more pieces of fish and chips but Mama decided there was too much food for me to finish and so she and Papa ate some of it.


Papa also ordered a waffle ice cream and I also got to eat a little. A small highlight was when a family of four at the table behind Papa celebrated a birthday and I actually clapped when they finished the Happy Birthday song! Maybe it was because I saw the someone in the family clapping and so I just clapped along.... yeah! ;)

Shopping At Metro

Last week, Mama wanted to browse for a cooking pot and so she brought me to Metro at Causeway Point. When we were there, she thought she will buy some clothing for Papa and brought me to the Men's department. Just look at me busy myself at the row of cupboards. Mama has to leave my pram and Papa's clothing to come after me but she also had a good time taking my pictures. Now, this is a different story from the grocery shopping altogether. :)

Grocery Shopping at NTUC

Dear all,

Guess where I am? Hint : Look at the bottom of the picture at the pack pf diapers for a clue. Can you spot me?

That's right, I am here!

No worries, though, I am not hurt by the bag of diapers in any way. Mama just thought it would be fun to let me try carrying the diapers. Mind you, I am strong and this bag of diapers won't do me any harm.

Nowadays, Mama is finding it more difficult to take me grocery shopping because I don't like to spend a long time in my pram. Just look at me in these shots taken on another grocery shopping day.

Mama placed the basket in my pram with me as I am getting restless and she hoped I could be entertained with carrying the basket.

Just last week, she took me to Yew Tee NTUC for grocery shopping and decided to let me try walking with her rather than having me in the pram. When she placed me on the ground, I made a beeline to the Four Leaf bread stall where Mama often buys me steamed cake. I even pursed my lips and made some 'pop' sounds gesturing I know that is where food comes from. No pictures here because Mama was trying to keep me out of trouble at Four Leaf..

Anyone wants to take me grocery shopping? ;)

Silly Silly Part 2 : I am A Lampshade

Dear all,

As you can see, I am being made to look silly again. I like to check out the Ikea container in the living room and so Papa placed this Ikea container on my head and said I am a lampshade. Mama said my yellow singlet matches the colour of the container nicely. haha. ... ;)

Worry not, though. I am learning to fend for myself.... :D

Papa was very touched by me

Today, I did something that moved Papa very much.

After dinner, Mama went to see a doctor for her mosquito bites and Papa looked after me. When Mama left the house, I was in my playpen and was quiet with my pacifier in my mouth. Papa was having dinner in the kitchen. After she left, I presumably got bored and started throwing the balls and toys out of the playpen.

When Papa let me crawl out of the playpen after unzipping its side, I actually took the balls and put them back in the playpen. When this happened, Papa was very touched because he felt that there is finally someone in the family who is neat and tidy like him. Although I did not return all my toys to the playpen, Papa thinks it's a good start. When Mama came home, he told me I am really a very nice boy. :D

Yes, I am able to put things back in their places if I so desire. Mama thinks I will grow up to be a neat chap who likes everything to be properly in place. In this aspect, Mama is glad that I resemble Papa. :)
