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.

Quotes from 《志在四方》("The Dream Makers")

I had been looking forward to this drama serial 《志在四方》 ("The Dream Makers") which debut on 24 Jun 13.  Apart from my favourite artistes Zoe Tay, Rui En and Qi Yuwu, there are many other familiar faces such as Chen Liping, Chen Hanwei, Jeanette Aw, Rebecca Lim, Guo Liang etc who acted in this drama serial.  

The drama serial started with these lines from Rui En's character which I liked:

我宁愿有未来 

历史是死的

未来可以创造

which was translated as:

I'd rather have the future

The past can never be changed

But the future can be forged

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.
