Air Force Museum

With the June holidays coming to an end soon, we finally had the chance to bring the kids to the Air Force Museum. We didn't know about the existence of the Air Force Museum until recently.  Thought it would be a good place to spend their day and learn something.  It's free admission.

When we arrived, Sera and Lynn were very excited to see those jet planes, helicopters and missiles.

The picture below was an old sewing machine for sewing leather and parachute. I think it was very hard to use, got to use one hand to wind the wheels and the other hand to move the cloth or leather.

In the picture below, you can see Sera holding on to an old telephone's receiver. She was actually listening to a recording of an interview between Mr Lee Kuan Yew, then Prime Minister of Singapore, and a BBC reporter.

Sera was happy to be able to sit on this flight simulator and take a photo with it.

Sengkang Riverside Park

I have always wanted to go to Sengkang Riverside Park  Yesterday, since there was no haze, we brought the kids there.

We had our lunch at the Mushroom Cafe in the Park. It's a sheltered outdoor cafe. They sell food such as  nasi lemak, laksa, mee rebus, sambal fish with rice etc and at foodcourt prices. The servings were big enough for us (Ardon and me). We are considered average eaters. Halfway through our lunch, it started to rain. After Sera finished eating her food, she got bored. She started to sing and play with her soft toys.

When the rain slackened, we went out to walk around the park.

Can you see a green bird on the tree in the picture below?

Punggol Point Park and Punggol Jetty

We had a bit of time last Thursday so we thought we would drop by Punggol Point Park and Punggol Jetty.  It was a sunny day so it was a good day to visit this place.

Upon arrival, we were awed by the magnificent sea view.  It's been a long time since we last went to the beach.  I simply loved the view of the sea and could not resist taking many shots of it.  

You can see some people fishing at the jetty in the picture below.

This is the water lily pond.  There are some fishes swimming inside too.

This part is supposed to be a cowboy town ranch - Punggol Ranch, owned by Gallop Stables.  Not sure whether it has started operations as we did not have the time to take a further look at this. 

If you are not driving, you can take bus service number 84 from Punggol interchange.  It would be good to check the SBS transit web site for the latest update on the bus service number in case there are changes in the the bus routes.

This place is so beautiful.  Will want to come back again when we have the time :)
