Day of Births!
Blessed 81st and 24th Birthday to my Granddad and to Lijia, whose birthdays were held on last Saturday and Sunday respectively!
The Singapore Flyer, I felt, was overrated. Sure, the capsule we’re in were spacious, the view of the city skyline were great. But with the ongoing construction works of the Integrated Resorts at the Marina front, it wasn’t as scenic as expected. I guess the bigger turn-off was the fact that our Singapore Wheel was revolving so slowly!! Amelia too, said she got bored in the capsule after about 10 minutes or so.
Perhaps the fact that we Singaporeans are too used to the Fast-paced life we lead daily holds true. And upon boarding the Flyer, we were suddenly forced to slow down to a snail’s pace. Sure, the time can be used to appreciate the majestic skyscrapers in town, to stand in awe of our city we call home. However, with our stomachs growling and with babies around us wailing non-stop, I don’t think anyone is able to appreciate the view in peace.
On a positive note, it was still a good experience up there. I guess we could constantly be reminded, to take a break in life at times, pause, and appreciate all the wonderful things around you. To take a moment and be grateful, thankful for everything that our Father has blessed us with.
Initially, Jia thought we were heading to a Nice restuarant in town for dinner after church. But well, I guess all our previous "Bluff" games did improve my ability to convince without getting caught!
Kidnapped our dear birthday girl. Her quest: To locate various checkpoints in Bedok which will eventually lead to her final destination, where her childhood dream of having a birthday celebration at MacDonalds can finally come true.
Catch the full story of the JiaJiaTreasureHunt in video coming SOON!
