Day out with Kai

Kai started talking about skyscrapers some time ago and wanted to see them. When we were at the Flyer, he said the skyscrapers weren't scraping the sky. I promised to bring him to the city. Finally, we made the trip today. Did some last-minute research in the morning and finally left the house past 8.30 am.

On the Downtown Line to Downtown

So tall I couldn't capture them

But no, they still weren't scraping the sky. Not literally anyway. I couldn't tell if Kai was disappointed but we continued walking.

"Is the water deep?"

"Is the water up to here (hand to head)?"

Went into the Fullerton Bay Hotel to get to another park of the water edge

Going to the water-taxi stop

And we took the boat for one stop - $6 per pax

I didn't feel like taking the boat coz that would take us to MBS but I really wanted to bring Kai to the Merlion and the civic district. The boy wanted what was in front of him so...

Looking out of the boat

Ended up at the Art-Science Museum. We didn't go for the exhibits but there was a free VR walk so we did that. In fact, Kai did it twice!

Look out for the mouse deer!

Seed planting at the end

"It's so hot!" - all the way down Helix Bridge!

Got him a Pororo drink

And there was a Poli exhibit in Marina Square!

Got him a $2 old-school toy - blowing hoops onto sticks in water!

We shared lunch at the food court - he said it was good :)

Our next stop was shopping for a school bag. I asked him to pick one. He did. It was ugly so I picked another one to let him try :p Then he couldn't decide between the two. I asked if I could choose for him, and he said yes without hesitation. His mind was probably on the toy!

But this mama picked up two other bags! And fiddled with them all, and got the boy to try again. Finally, I decided on one that is not too boxy and is spacious enough. Then we went back to Poli.

The auntie let him play this for a long time

Then we had a $5 Hokkaido milk soft serve, which he dropped onto the table and picked up to eat!

Got into the taxi at 1.20 pm. And he dozed off

We just relaxed in the afternoon at home until it was time for me to get his brothers for vaccination downstairs. So proud of them both - Yang didn't cry and Yu only whined! Woohoo! Still remember the time when Kai had his meningitis shot - he saw Yang having his and cried out "nononono" when the needle came to his thigh! That 3yo boy is now less than two months to primary school :)

That's him writing on this primary school prep book from MOE
