Singaporean Tourists!

7 August 2007

MOTH and I specially took a day off work to accompany the 3.5-year old on a school excursion.
We caught the play "Baby Love" at the Singapore Repertory Theatre, located along Singapore River. It was a short 45mins play but lovely for young children and we were surprised that the 3.5-year sat still throughout the whole play, completely absorbed with the story.

Oh, silly me - a bit of summary about the play - it's about a young boy who has to welcome a baby sister and how they learnt to love and play with each other. That's it. Else the script-writer and producer of the play may come after me for revealing the whole story.

After the play has ended, we decided to take a nice leisurely walk along the Singapore River towards Clarke Quay. As we were watching bum-boats passing by, an idea struck the whole family!

LET'S TAKE A BOAT RIDE AND EXPERIENCE THE RIVER CRUISE!

Amidst the loud narration coming from the almost-faulty speaker mounted on the bum-boat, it was a wonderful cruise experience down Clarke Quay, to Boat Quay, to the Raffles Place central and the Merlion Park. I went "WOW, This is my country, my city, my Singapore."

Though we are a small City with limited land area, we have done well preserving our culture, our old/traditional buildings and blending them with modernisation. On top of these, we have also managed to build and perserve a green city.

I'm sure my 3.5-year old would feel proud being a Singaporean too.

Ps. Okie, okie, guys - despite rising costs and living expenses, & 0%-1% yearly increment ONLY, we will SURVIVE!
