High on sausages, meat, marshmellows and fruits
Ahhhhhh! Where's our food!??
Daddy: ok ok im on it!!
We brought our bikes and scooters along for some action too
Some exercise to work off all that food rite?
Hey who stole all the sausages again??
Goofing around in our car
Little did i know, a surprise ice cream treat at Ben and Jerry's was awaiting me after class!
What joy! What bliss!
Mummy was happy too, cos she just spent 3 hrs shopping with Daddy while i was in class!
Pic of Mummy taken by lil ol me!
Daddy couldnt resist taking a pic with this vintage van outside B&J's
He said when he becomes a grandad, he'll buy one of these and ferry MY kids around!
Wahahahaha!
All excited at the entrance
The 1st installation was Walter's Garden (Walter is the big white rabbit in the picture above). It had artificial grass and triangular pillows which Kara and I used to clown around with.
And with the words "hop hop hop" in bright sparkling lights all around the room, who could resist not hopping around?
Errr everyone except Baby, that is. He was afraid of the prickly grass at his feet, as he is with sand, real grass, hair....the list goes on.
Did i mention that my brother is quite the wuss? Hahah...
Here he is, warily watching us from afar
We headed upstairs to do some coloring and crafts while waiting for the short feature films to start.
And then we were off to watch some really entertaining short films and cartoons
Next up was the Enchanted Forest, whereby a local artist had transformed a room into a magical make believe land where fish walk on stilts, sheep fly and various animals roam in unconventional settings.
Mummy managed to get her hands on a list of animals that could be found in the Forest and urged us to search for them. We really enjoyed ourselves running around trying to seek out all the funky animals!
Oh uh! Are we lost in the Forest?
We even decorated paper butterflies and later pasted them in the Enchanted Forest too, to be part of the exhibit
Daddy and Baby with a sneaky Tiger
My favourite - Kung Fu Panda!
Some of the other animals in the Forest
Here we are playing "Seek and Find the Animals" with Mummy
Jotting down our "finds" and racing to see who could spot all the animals 1st!
Wait! There's always time for a spot of Yoga!
The next installation was the award winning Floribots, a huge group of robotic flowers that could "grow" and "bloom" before our very eyes.
Their behaviour was controlled by motion sensors that detected movement in the room, so they "danced", "slept", were "naughty" or were "bored" depending on what was happening around the room.
Way cool rite?
Can u tell the Floribots were excited with us running around the room?
The museum staff got a bit hot under the collar, with 3 crazy kids running all over the place so Mummy quickly herded us out and into the next installation. It proved to be just as interesting, if not even more so, and the Floribots were quickly forgotten.
Here at the Funky Forest, you could make a tree "grow" simply by standing in front of the screen. Once you had your tree, you had to direct "water" from the "waterfall" so that your tree would flourish.
Watch how i made a tree "grow"!
Then Baby and I pushed streams of "water" towards our tree
In the same room were the Daisies, which magically disappeared whenever we stepped on them only to reappear almost immediately behind us.
We spent a good 20min in this room alone, playing with the interactive exhibits over and over again!
Last but not least, we checked out the gallery on stop motion animation on the topmost floor.
Is Ben part of the movie?
Daddy trying to be one of the monsters in the film
Doting grandparents fussing over Baby as usual
Tsk tsk...he really is the Crown Prince of the family!
I love Waraku for all their free toys
The next morning after my piano lesson, Mummy and Daddy took us to the airport for lunch. We had heard about the new Slide at T3 and wanted to check that out as well!
Baby looking intently at the huge red fan
Reading about the fan's mechanisms - Did you know it actually mimics passersbys' movements?
Do Daddy and Baby really look alike?
Prancing around at our favourite sushi joint
I took this pic of Baby - He was a very cooperative and spontaneous subject!
And then the highlight of the day - The Slide at T3!
It was really fun, pity Baby is still a bit too short to ride it.
We were rewarded with more kiddy rides for our good behavior!
Later that afternoon, Mummy went for a spa while we snoozed and when we awoke, Daddy declared that we were going out again! This time to Marina Square!
Mummy met up with us there and we caught the Doraemon show together
Doraemon fell flat on his face halfway through his song and dance routine, and had to be helped back to his feet by 6 stage members. Some of whom tried yanking him up by his open mouth, much to the amusement of the adults and the horror of the kids! Hahahha....
Sunday morning was spent playing badminton with Daddy and Mummy's cronies. Uncle Boon taught us some nifty moves, ill show all of you in future posts!
And in the afternoon while Baby snoozed, I went for my Art Boot Camp with my good friend, Chuan En.
Since the class was at Dempsey, Daddy and Mummy took the chance to try out the mouth watering offerings at House.
They were definitely not disappointed!
At the Omnimax theatre waiting for the show "Beavers" to start
It was an entertaining movie and all of us were fascinated, especially at the parts when we seemed to be "flying" over the landscape
Dinos are always a hit with us!
Stuffing our faces with a rare MacD's lunch
By then Baby was kinda tired and starting to get cranky, so we didnt venture into the Science Centre itself to check out the exhibits.
But we still had fun tinkering around with the outdoor ones!
Pulling, twisting, cranking, pressing...
Everything seemed so interesting to my inquisitive little brother!
Ahhhh playing and not buying again?!
We'll definitely be back for more action here at the Science Centre!
