RSAF OPEN HOUSE @ Paya Lebar Airbase

This morning breakfast we had 2 surprise “visitors" – they are Miss Piggy and Mr.
Elephant. Yeah, after yesterday Zoo outing, the breakfast theme is so timely...haha.

I had arranged for Anthea to take her make-up lesson for Tien Hsia today, 11.45 am to 1.15 pm. When we reached the school, then I realized that there was no lesson, just the “class performance” and parents review. So I asked Anthea if she wanted to attend it as this is the different class from her usual group. She said NO.

Then we went ahead with my PLAN B – RSAF Open House event. We had a quick lunch at Junction 8. Then we took the MRT to Toa Payoh Interchange and took Bus 90 to reach the Paya Lebar Airbase.

Previously when there was such an open house, I would tell Adrian that it would be nice to visit it, since both Anthea and Anders like airplanes, especially Anders. I will usually get lukewarm response, mentioning that he work with aircraft every day, so there is really nothing of interest to him. All of them would try to “siam” as far as possible. So now since daddy is not in Singapore to “siam”, we will “cheong” for the open house.

It was a good call. When we reached the airbase, Anders was so fascinated by all the different models of the aircraft. We even had the chance to go onboard the Apache and sat in the plane. Now we understand how our military people felt when on board.

There was an Aviation Carnival Zone. Both Anthea and Anders had fun with the stalls and also the playground area.

We had an ice-cream break at the Main Stage area and once of TCS star – Jessica Liu was performing on stage. Too bad, I had 2 kids, so can't go too near to take her photo...hehe. (She’s one of my favorite actresses in Babes, Beaches, and Ball.)

Anthea kept commenting how handsomes those uniform men look. Hmm...i wonder if she will fall in love with One, just like me..haha.

We spent a good 3 hours at the Open House and then started to make our way home. The only regrets were we miss the Flights rides Draws and also the hot air balloon timing were reschedule to a later time. Anyway, there will always be a next time. : P

We reached home at around 5pm and it was too late for the children to nap. So I decided that they would skip it totally.

Dinner was with my PIL and youngest BIL/SIL at Lao Beijing in Novena Square. Understand from Terence and Cherry that their home renovation will be starting soon. They are both busy now buying all the fixtures – lightings, basin, kitchen hood/hops and others. Really looking forward to viewing their new “Home Sweet Home”.

After dinner, we headed home and the children a voice chat with Adrian as somehow his webcam does not work due to the slow internet speed. Anyway, beggars can't be chooser and we should be contended to be able to hear his voice, LOUD AND CLEAR. : )

Then it was bedtime for the children after a FULL DAY EVENT.

You are doing so well, bringing them to the open house on your own and every week, it seemed that you planned something for them :)
