During the Dec hols, while many went overseas for their vacation, we decided to stay put in Singapore. It's a challenge to try to find fun stuff to do in Singapore without breaking the bank. We have been lucky though. We got free tickets to go to the zoo and discovered some gems in our own shores.
Singapore Zoo
The newly opened Rainforest Kidzworld was a blast. After we had some home-made ham and egg sandwiches at one of the quieter areas of the zoo, the princes couldn't wait to fly to the Rainforest Kidzworld, which had many water-related features. The princes had fun being swept away by the water waves from the big bucket and gliding on water slides. They have been water babies since they were very little so they really dig water-related games.
We also checked out the white tigers which mauled one of the zoo staff. Somehow, after an incident like this, you look at these animals differently. They are meant to be in the wild, not kept in a zoo. This particular one was pacing the edges of its confines and snarling at the onlookers. I think it had tasted blood and it wanted more.
Science Centre
The Science Centre was having some magic exhibition when we were there and there was this eerie machine that made the body disappear so it looked like you had been decapitated. The princes also enjoyed some live magic show.
Changi Beach
The princes had recently mastered their cycling skills and the hubby had also just bought a bicycle , so the boys and I headed off to the Changi Beach to check out if it is a great place to cycle. I rented a bicycle from one of the shops near a carpark for a mere $5 for 2 hours (it's having an extra-1 hr free promotion). The view and the cycling route were great. We even spotted some jellyfishes on the pavement, obviously being discarded by some fishermen. I never had so much fun cycling. It's definitely better than East Coast.
