I know it has been long overdue for my update in this blog, but I've been lazy, busy and lazy most of the time. Anyway, we had a family trip to Singapore during Hari Raya from the 30th Aug till 3rd Sept 2011. It was an enjoyable but tiring trip.
(Tiring from handling Tyler mostly =)
He was a good boy in the plane, he slept through the flight as soon as the plane took off. However, he was a little scared when passengers came in as we sat on the very first row, so he wanted to get out of the plane. This time, we were able to soothe his ear air pressure by letting him use the headphone and also Mc. D's hash brown (his favourite) to distract him and it worked out perfectly.
He was so happy to use the airport's baby stroller! but quite reluctant to use his very own Mac Laren! This was taken at the arrival hall before going through the immigration. We stayed in Ibis Hotel in Bugis. The location is great, but the rooms are rather small, with a baby coat in the room, there's hardly any place to move about.
We visited the Singapore Zoo the next day and Tyler enjoyed himself the most there, looking at real life animals rather than from the TV or books. We didn't get to see much in the zoo because the weather was so warm and everyone's tired from taking care of a hyper toddler. We get to see a few monkey species, kangaroo, elephant, tiger, wild boar, hippo... erm.. i guess that's about all.
Tyler with his grandparents =) So glad they were around to help!
So the third day, we went to the Undersea world, he enjoyed looking at the little fishes, but he's terrified of the big ones. There was a small pool where visitors can touch the fishes before entering the sea world, Tyler was so excited to touch the water, but scared at the same time, so he would force all of us to touch the water on his behalf and he just wanna watch us touching the fishes.
And this is the first time he slept on his stroller after the Sea world visit! So we get to walked around a little while he slept and we went to Orchard right after lunch and stayed till night. I'd rate him 90% for that day though he did not wanna be in his stroller most of the time, but it's understandable since he has been out the whole day, yet he wasn't fussy. He enjoyed himself in ALL the toy stores in Singapore. Everywhere we go, we have to stop by the toy store, and he'd walked around on his own. When he sees sometime he like, he'll pass the toy to us and say "thank you" expecting us to buy! hahahahahah
Surprisingly, he was happy to play in the baby coat most of the time on his own will. I am so glad I had help from my in laws, if there were only Daryl and I, I don't think we can survive the holiday, both our batteries would wear off before this little toddler's power!
