Be A Tourist In Singapore

Date: Aug 7, 2011

It is a great day, and the Angry Birds Squad is ready to go on a tour in Singapore.

Yes, we stay in Singapore, but our little one has not gone to some of these tour yet.  Before he turned 2 years old, we better bring him to visit some of these tours.  Because below 2 years old, most of these tours are FREE for Kay Kay.

Wow, the toicket we got  can go to a lot a lot of places.  i.e. Singapore Flyer, Orchid Garden, Asian Civilization Museum, Singapore Art Museum, Singapore Philalantic Museum, Chinatown Heritage Centre, Duck Boat, Hippo Sightseeing Boat ride, Hippo bus, etc etc.  Without 48 hours, you can take unlimited time the boat taxi ride, and the hippo bus ride...

It is $66 for adult, $33 for kids and $2 for toddler.  And you have 48 hours to visit them all.

Yes, yes, I know, we live is Singapore.  But for your kids sake, just bring them there lah!

Luckily, we book the tickets online a week ago, otherwise, with so many tourist in Singapore, it is impossible to get a seat on that day itself.

OK... Duck is a bird, that is why we wear Angry bird's shirt, because Angry Duck sit in the Duck boat.

Don't forget about the duck whistle.  It cost $3.50 a piece.

There are two drivers.  One drive on the land, and the other drive on the water.

Yeah!  We are on the duck boat.  THis is my second time.

Important to take a family photo.

We went for a duck boat ride first.  Kay Kay is very surprise that the bus suddenly go into the water and suddenly become a boat.  He almost cry.

OK, we are going into the water...

Let's take another family photos... Excellent!

Yes, wave at the other duck boat...

This is Helix, the bridge that connects to the Marina Bay Sands.

Just in case you wondering what App I used to process these photos... It's "Dynamic Light".  The processed photos are so cool.  This is Singapore.

The Flyers.

The National Day Parade staging area.  Very colorful.

More photos...

More photos...

That was a fun ride.  Here is a photos taking with the Duck Boat.

Next we will go into the Singapore Flyer.  What, who will put her hand bags there?

Next, is the Singapore Flyers.  We drove our car to park at the car park there.

The Singapore Flyers has been revamped and renovated in a good way.  There are more interactions you can do now.  That is great for kids.

Turning the wheels will change the zoom level, the positioning, etc of the flyer.

Shoot the laser gun to reveal the past or present of the particular locations.  Jay is having lots of fun here.

Some recycle exibits.

Can you see where are we here?

Wow, so many people queue up.

On the way, you have these count down numbers...

Yeah... we going to sit in here..

Kay Kay expressed some bravery here.  He is not afraid of heights!

Ah ha!  This next one is the COUPLE cabin.  OK, my wife comments: "Why they don't have curtains???"  HAHAHAHAH

Very nice night view you can see from the Flyer.

This is our 5th or 6th time on the flyer.  Every time, we enjoy the view.

There are some light shows too. All these buildings will dance with the lights.

Shots from iPhone are also not too bad.

The Food Trail has nice food.  I ate the Nak Kut Teh from the Sin Ming Avenue there.

OK... We rest for a night, tomorrow, let's go and try another few things...

Yes, we are on the Hippo Bus!

Kay Kay scared his Mickey Mouse is too cold, so, he wrapped him up!

The one hour journey begins... But the sky is not cooperative!  It rain as soon as it leaves Suntec!  So we have to go down stairs sit in the cold cold air con place on the Hippo Bus.

On the bus, there were these two Japanese Lady sitting in front of us keep taking photos ... and they uses a Japanese or Korean Photo App, and surprisingly the photos are very nice after taking inside the bus.  It is called "Pudding Camera"... So, I immediately downloaded it... its FREE.  and use it...

Fish Eye...

Action shot...

4 in a row...

Fantasy shots...

Lots of effect too...

Its a great Camera Tool.  Very well done.   We went to Jay's violin class before we go to the Hippo boat @ Clark Quay!

We had stopped by a temple (四马路), so bought a lotus from there...

Then, later, we are at Clark Quay!

I thought we are sitting in the bumper Bee!

Nope, we are sitting on that boat!  Wait a minute.... WHERE IS THE LIFE JACKETS???????

May be is inside that box there a the middle in front of the captain wheels... But it is locked!  Hmmmm....

So we started our last tour attractions of the day...

The Flyer and the Platform... Very colorful platform...

Merlion...

Jay & the Merlion...

The life jackets definitelly not under the seat...

For sure, we are very happy about our tour in Singapore.  Yes, again, if you live in Singaporel, don't even think that there is nothing to do.  Go google it, and search the web for ideas.  Do it for your kids.  For those who does not have kids yet, go plan one!  HahaHa
