He will be 23 years old in 2030.

At the entrance, we came across poster headlines from earlier decades. All are part of Singapore’s history.

At Theatre of Generations, we witness how Singapore had transform from 1965 to 2015, and onwards to 2030. The projections are beamed on to the Roof for an immersive experience.

It feels like an Omni-theatre experience, broadcasted in English with 4 languages subtitles.

Symphony of the City, we saw the city of the future transformed from vision into reality. I thought I saw a blueprint of a high-speed train at Coney Island !

Love all the motivational and inspirational wordings, crafted into pictorials. So Creative and impactful 🙂

Innovations from sectors Defence, education, or perhaps vertical farming and sustainable communities. All these concepts are no longer dreams.

The skies will not always be gloomy. Venture out, reach out for the next Rainbow!
Take home message for my kids are “Dare to dream, the future is not set”.

If I can see the future, I would like to know whether my hawker centers would still be around in 2030 🙂
More details about The Future of US exhibition can be found on their Website and Fanpage.

– Nearest carpark is SG50 carpark, we had to walk 10 minutes from Meadow carpark
– Bayfront MRT would be even nearer
– The crowd was manageable on a Saturday, you can try walk-in too (we booked our tickets and choiced time-slots early in December).
– This exhibition will end on 08 Mar 2016
– Opening hours 9am to 9pm daily
– Entrance is free
– Duration – If you just breeze through, 30 minutes will do. But I will recommend 1 to 2 hours stay to appreciate how new technologies will enhance our lives

2015 gone in a flash

The Days are long and the Years short.

Those with kids will understand, especially when you are breastfeeding at unearthly hours, managing with 4 hours sleep daily.

Especially when my No4 goes to Primary school (I am lamenting discount of 4 days CCL!)
Or when our No1 enters Secondary School next year (he is 5 years away from NS!)

Time flies!

Let me try to recall some other milestones in our family.

I make a secret resolution to keep fit last year. Am still trying to keep up my running tempo (tried 10km, and even 20km), and was super elated that family can join me in runs too!

Since then, we have all master cycling, and our new found mobility are bringing us places (literally).
I always believe that the family which keeps fit together grows strong together.

Do read about our Jogging and Cycling experiences.

I was addicted to hiking and the freedom from trekking up/down Ijen and Bromo (Thanks to Garuda Indonesia and Nuffnang’s sponsored East Java trip).

Would like to invite the kids for some hiking sessions in Malaysia 🙂

More adventures…
1) We surmounted USS’s Mummy ride together, although not all are enthusiastic :p

2) What makes us even dream of attempting white water rafting?

3) Mommy Meng Choo reminded me that she is extremely satisfied that our flat got a fresh coat of paint. We have not repainted since year 2000! I did not do the painting, do contact us if you want reference for reliable and honest painter.

Something close to my heart, Lee Kuan Yew’s passing. Without him and our pioneers, many families would not be able to enjoy the freedom and lifestyle today.

Singaporeans missed LKY during NDP and rehearsals, but we also want to show him that we can take care of ourselves 🙂

Along our blogging journey, I was glad to know a group of like-minded buddies!
Heh, even the kids have become kakis!

We are looking forward to new challenges in 2016.
