MHWH Night Run

I went for the 5km night run with hubby, my Mum and my Dad. My parents finished the route faster than I did... *shy* Really must improve my level of fitness...Sigh.

I was asked to give away the prizes, so I had to stay until late at night. Overall, a relatively nice event- it wasn't perfect though, of course. There were definitely areas for improvement.

Hope the runners had fun!

Singapore July 2016: Day 3

We took a long walk by the river the next day, starting from the Fullerton/Esplanade side, and all the way round to the Marina Bay Sands area. It was a lovely walk- although we got caught in a rainstorm. Check out the lovely photos below.

The double-helix bridge on the left is pretty cool

The Marina Bay Shoppes is a big shopping mall with a classy interior and a fabulous river view. We had lunch at the Super Heroes Cafe- food is cute, but not great (as one would expect of these places).

Next up was the ArtScience Museum- which had a fantastic exhibition called Future World: Where Art Meets Science. The kids had a whale of a time there! There was this activity where we could colour in 2D pictures, scan them, and they would appear in a 'town' in a form of 3D animated objects. Think cars, planes and buildings- way too cool! Every now and then a dragon would appear in the town, and you could touch the planes and make them fire at the dragon! It was really awesome! Highly recommended for families.

My lizard- hopping around on the ground. It was so fun trying to spot the animal I 'designed'!

We watched a (free) light and water display in the evening- it was captivating indeed. I mean, how does one even project on a 'screen' of water?!? Mind-boggling technology, eh?

Wow!

What a fantastic day!

Singapore July 2016: Day 2

We spent most of our next day in Universal Studios Singapore, again. It was nice to be able to repeat some of the rides and do the things we missed out on the fist day.

Super impressed by the theming!

The kids had a wet and wild time running though this water fountain- splashing about in the hot sun. Wished I could join them! (But it would have been waaaay too weird...)

Isn't this super duper cute?

Singapore July 2016: Day 1

We went back to Singapore in July; this time our main purpose was to visit Universal Studios Singapore. We had loads of fun - as you can see from the photos below. 

It wasn't a very big park, but we decided to take 2 days to explore the park at our own pace. We bought a 6-month pass (as that was strangely cheaper than 2 one-day passes); unfortunately that took such a long time to get done that I missed the fireworks! Grrrrr.

The Transformer ride was AWESOME! The special effects were just out-of-this-world; the ride itself probably wasn't going very fast, but the effects made it feel like we were going at breakneck speed. We took turns using the Single Rider line, which was absolutely necessary to skip the crazy queue. 

What great theming! 

We watched this live action show called Water World and it was pretty entertaining. Very young kids might feel a little scared at some parts of the show though, due to the loud sound effects. 

None of us attempted the Battlestar Galactica ride - it looked waaay too scary!
