Thepans at the Singapore Flyer

Singapore Flyer

Brought the whole family including dad, mom and grand ma to the Singapore Flyer today. As we do drive past Benjamin Shears Bridge alot, Cleo always never fail to shout out in exclamation “FUN FAIR” as we did go up a wheel at a heartland funfair last year.

Tickets

We signed up for Friends of Singapore Flyer so we’ll get free rides whole year round. I do think we will come back again, especially when we have friends from overseas coming over to visit.

Going Up

We purposely selected to start at 7pm, so we get to experience sun set.

NDP Stage

We could see the National Day Parade stage clearly from all the way up here.

Looking Down

Its quite a scary view if you looked directly down when you are right at the top.

Night View

When we were descending, the sky was already dark and the kids were starting to get restless.

Overall its still quite a nice experience.

Norah Jones – The nearness of you

It’s not the pale moon that excites me
That thrills and delights me, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you

It isn’t your sweet conversation
That brings this sensation, oh no
It’s just the nearness of you

When you’re in my arms and I feel you so close to me
All my wildest dreams came true

I need no soft lights to enchant me
If you’ll only grant me the right
To hold you ever so tight
And to feel in the night the nearness of you

Twitting

I recently solved my multiple online status problem. With Facebook, Twitter, etc. Its hard to login to multiple places to update them all, hence my current setup is such:

Twitterbar from my Firefox browser which updates my Twitter which in turn updates my Facebook status. And all this from one update via my browser without loading another page or application.

You should do it too. ;)

Downtown East Day

Waiting for bus

Today I brought the kids to see Kungfu Panda at Downtown East and i conclude that its not easy. Not only did i have to constantly answer why type questions, there is a trying to get them to sit down part and the bringing both to toilet during the best fight scene when the 5 of them fought with the bad fella.

After the show, it was off to get snacks and a bus ride back home. It was nice to also return to a home cooked lunch by mommy who stayed home that morning.

Picture with Care Bears

In the evening, we went back to Downtown East as there was a Care Bears show there. The kids loved Care Bears as someone gave Cleo a small Cheer Bear some time back. Cleo’s Cheer Bear is like her baby, she will bring it out when ever she can.

Rides

There were rides too and they both had a ball of a time.

Care Bear Plush

We got each of them a Care Bear plush. Clié got one with hearts on it and Cleo got the bigger version of Cheer Bear.

Daddy\'s Fave Care Bear

The grumpy one sure looks cute too.
