Well, in celebration of National Day, there is a National Day Celebrations 2008 organized by the GRC. It was a whole day event from 8.30 am to 9 pm. There were carnival stalls and we had game coupons which were distributed via the Letter Box. The guest of honour is Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
Around 10 am, we went to the venue and there were so many games stalls. We saw PM Lee left the place when we arrived, I was told that he had stayed for almost 1.5 hours long for the event. Wow...that meant he had come very early. He is such a busy man and yet, he still makes effort for this kind of event.
Both Anthea and Anders had great fun at the carnival, playing with the different games and also they had the chance to go on the motor rides.
Then we walked around the Flea market and I bought some very nice cards, in preparation for Teachers Day, and they were sold at 30 cents each. The children also bought some toys from the flea market and they ended with an ice-cream each. Such a lovely treat for a sunny hot day...haha.
After the carnival, we went to the wet market and I bought some soup ingredients. We had simple lunch and I prepared the soup for dinner, just in case, we may dine at home because of the National Day Parade. I know the children will enjoy the show on TV, especially Anders.
We had our usual afternoon nap after a good lunch and woke up around 5pm. As Anders is still coughing a little with running nose, I thought it's best to stay home for dinner.
It was the right decision as it started to rain a little as well. We had nice simple dinner of Fish & chips, fried hor-fun and a pot of home cooked soup... : p
We enjoyed life watching the Parade and this year seemed better that last year as there were more flight display and Anders Love the show.
In the evening, they had their 1st telephone chat with Daddy and both of them were very happy. Adrian is adapting well in his new “workplace”. He said time passed too slowly...haha. Guessed he still need time to get used to the different pace.
It had been a fun day for us may we wish our little island – Singapore “a Happy Birthday”
