Flying in the Jet (Star)

We took the JetStar flight to Singapore. As daddy was going there for work, we decided to take a short holiday to Singapore too. Daddy went to Singapore on a later flight by SilkAir and we left Penang first. When we reached the Singapore airport, I had wanted to wander around the duty free shops first but SOMEONE insisted that he wanted to ride on the travelator (as usual...),so in the end we walked and walked around Terminal 2 on the travelator and I didn't get to see anything at all *sob*

As we didn't have any specific place to visit, we didn't bring daddy's DSLR. Instead we borrowed ee-ee's compact camera and this is a picture of you willingly posing at the airport while waiting for daddy's flight to arrive:
After clearing immigration and collecting our luggage after daddy finally arrived, we headed out to take a taxi to bring us to our hotel on Orchard Road. Checked into our room and headed out to have lunch. As it was rather late, we decided to have lunch in the food court just downstairs from our hotel. As daddy was ordering chicken rice for you, I saw a sign saying "Char Siew Wan Tan Mee". Big mistake. I'd completely forgotten that Wan Tan Mee in Singapore had tomato sauce in it. Well, this didn't. I reckon it was sweet sauce which tasted OK initially, but halfway through, I could not take another bite more!

After filling our tummies, we headed to Plaza Singapura which was just a short walk from the hotel. I headed to Daiso while you and daddy wandered around the toy floor. When I met up with you again, daddy said that you'd found a shop of interest: a Lego shop! We went to take a look at the toy that you wanted, but daddy convinced you to have a look at the selection in Toys R Us. So we headed back to the hotel to rest a little and to find out where Toys R Us would be. Just as we were heading out, it started to rain. You got upset and in the end, we decided to take a (expensive) taxi ride to Paragon.

Found Toys R Us but they did not have the set you wanted. No time to look around anymore as we had dinner arrangements with Ee-Poh and family so you picked a Hot Wheels car and we headed back in the drizzle. Daddy had to carry you and run/jog all the way back to the hotel. Poor daddy's arms were killing him by the time we reached.

Dinner was in the restaurant in the hotel, so when they arrived, we headed down and joined them for the buffet which included ordering crabs cooked any way you want. This was one of the dishes ordered:

Lobster Thermidor

After dinneer, Ee Poh, Teo Kong, Julian Ku-ku and Ashley Ku-ku came up to the room to have a look at the room before heading home. As usual Ee Poh brought you a little gift. A Ben 10 T-shirt. Lucky you. Shortly after they left, we all KO-ed. Who wouldn't be tired from such a long day, especially poor daddy's arms!
