Bye bye Mr Lee

The news these few days have been about Mr Lee Kuan Yew, our first Prime Minister, being in hospital. Many people had hoped that he would get better and be able to join us for Singapore's 50th birthday celebrations later this year. We had also gone specially to the hospital last night to leave him this card that I had made:

Unfortunately, when I woke up this morning for school, Daddy and Mummy said that he had died overnight. I hope he will go to heaven, where he will continue to watch over us. 

In touch with nature

Guess what, we voluntarily woke up very early today, on a Saturday morning. Normally we would have still been in bed, but Mummy had signed us up for a birdwatching tour this morning. I enjoyed using the binoculars to spot different types of colourful birds. 

It must also be my lucky day today, as Daddy and I found a four-leave clover as we were walking amongst the nature reserve. 

Continuing with the theme of a in-touch-with-nature weekend, we went to Gardens by the Bay too. The downpour was unfortunately, but luckily there were other activities to keep me occupied:  

School holiday fun

It is the school holiday week, and Mummy is on leave, woohoo! Although she is more boring than Daddy (and she scolds me more often too), I hope to have some fun with her this week, haha.

On Monday, we went to the Singapore Arts Museum. I was really fascinated with the yarn, and made a pom-pom with it.

In fact I was so fascinated with the yarn that I kept bugging Mummy to buy me more. We looked all day on Tuesday but didn't manage to find the right kind in the shops. Instead, Mummy got me a pack of the colourful strings that are used to make friendship bracelets.

After shopping around, we then went to eat at one of my favourite restaurants. There was a weekday lunch-time offer where we got a free sundae for buying a main course, hehehe.  

On Wednesday, we went to watch Cinderella. I wish I had a pair of glass slippers like her. 

Yesterday (Thursday), I went for a school camp while Mummy finally got her rest and had some time to herself. Today, Mummy arranged for me to meet up with my primary school friends. After attending a kids computer workshop in the morning, we went jumping at a trampoline park in the afternoon. 

The week has gone by so quickly and it certainly was exhausting for me, and I'm sure for Mummy too. I love you Mummy, you can be fun (at times, haha) too!
