A Happy Hectic Weekend- Part 1 @ the Marina Barrage

We had so much fun over the last weekend. No shopping this week. Just Lots of sun, lots of sweat... but all well-worth it.

On Saturday, we made it down to the Marina Barrage on Saturday to catch part of the action of the NDP'2009 rehearsal live. Caleb lovesssss helicopters & planes. He recognises the noise. So whenever he hears one flying pass our house, he will look out the window & gesture to tell us "no more" (interpreted as he knows there is a helicopter/plane somewhere near. But he can't see it). He is always thinking about it constantly too. Often, in the middle of his play, he will point to the window or the sky & tell us "no more". HA. SOOO you can imagine how happy he is to see the choppers... and big ones too, rather than 2 dots in the sky. Plus the chinnook carrying the Singapore Flag... wah ... best combo... cos lately he is equally into the Singapore Flag. Gets really happy & excited when he spots the Flag anywhere & everywhere. Not a bad start to like planes... ha, how about becoming a pilot when he grows up??? !!! As parents we will love that, dont we? ;p

We were there at 6-plus and stayed on till 8.30 for the small fireworks display. If you are considering Marina Barrage for the fireworks,... hmmm... i would say not too good because the new IR building blocked the full view.

Entertaining himself before the show starts.

Caleb's favourite in action.

Look at Caleb... ... don't you think the boy have a satisfied smile on his face.

The boy is always meddling with his bike instead of sitting in it.



Nice night view of the barrage & city from the bridge/dam (i think it is a dam).
