Science Centre & Vivocity

Dearest Skyler,

We had our usual morning, Lil’ One, where you woke up early and Papa tried to get you back to bed until a decent hour resulting in both of us being extremely tired and sleepy. :D Once Papa allowed you to stay awake after 8 am, we hung around the living room doing our usual thing – watching Blue’s Clues, you pottering around the living room exploring stuff, you heading into our bedroom to wake Mama up and Papa catching you and bringing you back out.

We forgot to mention that you’ve started this practice of handing us our spectacles in the mornings when you want us to wake up and play with you! It’s so cute! Somehow you know that once we have our spectacles on, we’re awake and functioning! :D Even though we’re so totally sleepy and tired, you still bring a smile to our faces when you do that! :D

You finally went back to bed and Papa slumped into bed too! When you woke up a couple of hours later, Papa totally let Mama take care of you as Papa was completely worn out! :D So, you had to then come in and wake Papa up. You were so cute once again! You were dragging your little car around with you into the bedroom, putting your finger onto your lips (signing that Mama and you should be quiet as Papa was still in bed) and then you came over to Papa’s side of the bed and start tapping Papa to wake Papa up! :D

After you finally succeeded in waking Papa, we prepared to go out. We decided that we would take you to the Science Centre today. We had brought you there last year for the Star Wars exhibition but you were totally less than aware then. :D Today, we decided that you might enjoy playing with the exhibits in the Science Centre proper.

We spent the whole afternoon there! You quite enjoyed the souvenir store playing with all the toys there. In the exhibition areas, you went around pushing and jabbing whatever you could lay your hands on. :D At least, you did that until you started getting scared by the noises the exhibits made after you activated them. :D At some of the exhibits, you got so apprehensive that you totally clung onto Mama and refused to walk even though you had totally wanted to walk for the most part. :D So poor thing!

There so many things to look at but all in all, we don’t think we’ll bring you back again so regularly. We were actually quite worried about a few of the exhibits – they looked so old. In fact, Papa thinks that some of them look like they have been there since he was a small boy! And several of them looked so worn out and lacking in maintenance – paint had been scraped off due to lots of handling by visitors, etc. Oh well… Anyway, we’ll probably be back after some time – especially when you actually can appreciate the lessons of the exhibits. :P

We then went over to Vivocity as Papa wanted to bring you for a walk along the water. We had dinner at Cedele but this time, you didn’t want to eat the food there. You did eat a bit but you wanted to walk around more than eat the food. We then had to feed you your biscuits and some fruit before you would sit in your chair. Oh well… :D We keep on hoping that you will be able to sit in your chair consistently soon. :P

After dinner, we took you outside to look at Sentosa and the cruise ship moored next to the cruise centre. It was a very short walk as it was actually quite humid. :P We then headed back in to the air-conditioned comfort of the mall. :P Papa actually wondered what we would do as we had absolutely no agenda whatsoever. In the end, we spent quite a bit of time in the PageOne bookshop looking for books for you. In the end, we bought you two Hello Kitty books. :D

We hope you enjoyed yourself today, Lil’ One.

We love you!

Papa and Mama
