Singapore Science Centre

Rahhhhaaaa

Amidst my busy schedule, i took leave today to bring the kids out. I planned to bring them out during the June holidays, but just did not manage to. Today we went to the Singapore Science Centre, its time to see if the kids are interested in Science or not.

Spinning water

We came across some really cool devices and one of the cool ones was this spinning water thingy. Apparent the faster the the column of water spins, it will leave a large void in the center.

Exhibits

There were so many exhibits there. Everyone had some educational value which is cool, but its really difficult to explain science to 4 or 6 year olds.

Interactive Board

This interactive board was very well done. It will grow plants, buildings and some other items. There is also a cat that will try to hide under what ever items you place on the top. The cat will basically keep finding shelters.

Interactive Board

Then with the string, if you make a junction, Trains will start appearing. Then if you made an oval, the shape fills up with water and ducks start swimming in it.

Kaleidoscope

Can you spot Daddy, Clié and Cleo?

Water Play

Then after viewing almost all of the exhibits, its water play time and the kids had a blast.

All Tired

Now, all showered and dressed, they both fell asleep in the car on the way home. What a wonderful day we had.

Brooke Fraser – Hosanna

I see the king of glory
Coming down the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes, the whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing, the people sing

Hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

I see a generation
Rising up to take the place
With selfless faith, with selfless faith
I see a new revival
Staring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees, we’re on our knees

Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you have loved me
Break my heart for what is yours
Everything I am for your kingdom’s cause
As I walk from earth into eternity

Jon Julio

10 years ago was the peak of Aggressive Inline Skating aka Rollerbladding but now better known as Rolling. Back then one of the most consistent and humble skaters to me was Jon Julio. With his serious non-flamboyant smooth skating style, that made him a skater to be respected.

Now more than 10 years after the peak of the sport, Jon Julio runs Valo and is still in his love for the rolling lifestyle.

Its time to go skating

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
