Carpe Diem had arranged a fieldtrip for the children to Sentosa's Underwater World & Dolphin Lagoon on 17 July'07 (Tuesday). This is the 1st time I tagged along. Both Ashley & Mummy are excited over the trip. Early morning, we arrived at the school. After breakfast, the children 
queue up, wore their shoes, got their water bottle and wait for the bus. Unfortunately while waiting for the bus, it started to rain. Due to rain, the bus got delayed in the traffic. Nevertheless
, it didn't snatch the excitement away from the children. Instead, they take turns to sing a song to kill the waiting time. Ashley partner with her friend-Nicole Tham and sing 'Blah Blah Black Sheep'.Finally the bus arrived, and we headed to Sentosa! First stop is Underwater World. The staff greeted us and brought the group to a seminar room for educational talk. 
She introduces the sea creatures that we could find in the touch pool, underwater tunnel etc. It was an eye-opener for the children, learning at the different species of fishes, crabs, sea dragon, Jellyfish and fossils etc. 
Leafy Sea Dragon, Lion Mane Jelly Fish , Stingray
Ashley was afraid when we go into the underwater tunnel. All the
fishes are BIGGER than her. I spotted some unique fishes and point to her, esp those over her head. There's some divers feeding the fishes, and cleaning the area. The children are all excited over the divers. Besides the fresh water sea creatures, the children also 
get to see sea water fishes. Next, we proceed to the Dolphin 
Lagoon. The clever dolphins certainly amused the children with all the different stuns and flexible performance. First, the staff introduce the physical of the dolphin, then describe the capabilities and how they trained the dolphins. Afterword the dolphins put on their best show to the audience. All children watched with amazement. 
After the wonderful performance, the children sit by the umbrella huts for their lunch-chicken nuggets with fries and ice milo. As for the adults, we had chicken burger and ice tea.
It was a tiring, but very wonderful trip for children, mummies and teachers! Before we end the fieldtrip, let's take a group photo for memory!
WE HAVE FUN TODAY!

22 July'07, we brought Ashley to Fort Canning Park. It's been more than 5 years since Jeremy and I have been there. We used to go to this park quite often during our courtship. It is a refreshing walk for us, and it sure brings back some old memories.... and new feeling, coz we have our little princess with us now. Coincidentally, there is 'Ballet by the Stars' performance and a portion was closed for private function (near ROM), as such, we have to de-route to the other side and walk up the park. Nevertheless, we passed by the battle box, and it was educational for Ashley as I describe to her what the tunnel is all about during war time. As we have passed the tour timing, we are unable to tour inside the battle tunnel, thus we continue our walk and in search for the cannon. Ashley was a little excited and along the way, kept asking me what is a cannon. As we strolled along. Ashley is getting impatient and complains that there's ants biting her feet. Jeremy had to carry her along the path. 
Finally we found the cannon site, as usual, Jeremy loves to 'action'...but Ashley had lost her interest already.... haha!....due to the ant bite on her feet. After pacifying her a while, managed to get her take a picture with Daddy by the cannon. 
It was not a bad walk at Fort Canning Park after all. At least, there's no hot sun... the air was refreshing after a shower earlier.
