This morning, we participated in the 5km The MAD race (Make a Difference, organised by Touch) at Sentosa.

Any day with psi less than 100 is a good day, Olaf greeted us on the beach and she is not melting.

One photo before we start, when everyone is still fresh.

All dressed in yellow, runners and walkers are participating in the MAD Race today, to increase awareness for depression.

Nevermind if we are not the fastest, we try our best.
More importantly, run together and enjoy the day as a family 🙂

We have to encourage Boon Xin to keep up, as she still lacks stamina to complete the 5km. Her style is sprint, pant, walk, repeat again haha.

This race has another feature. We need to collect all seven bands to form a rainbow.

The volunteers were always eager to give her more Hi5, they even gave her extra bands for her efforts 🙂

Remember to have some photo mementos. We seldom explore this side of Sentosa, Palawan Beach.

Sometimes, we stop for peacocks too.

Boon Yee (Bro to sis chat) : 1 more km, Boon Xin!

Our friends who joined us this morning, Jbabies and Mabel 🙂

Yes, we did it! Another run to remember 🙂

I shared with the kids MAD race is not for mad people. Some folks suffer from depression and understand very little about treatments and social stigma. Our MAD Race today hopes to make a difference and hopefully raise some awareness about mental health.

More details about MAD race can be found on their website and Fanpage.

Spooky SEAs is brewing under the oceans at SEA Aquarium.

SEA Aquarium has always been a favourite haunt and we know the usual suspects.
I am referring to the sharks and rays, not the kids.

The urchins and the moray eels, we wonder why the urchins never prick the fish?

Cute Axolotl, read about their pre-historic background here Sea Monsters.
The black one resembles toothless!

Told Boon Kang whaleshark is not a whale but a shark. Although it can reach 10m and weighs 20 tonnes easily, this gentle shark is harmless. I invited Boon Kang to snorkel with whalesharks if opportunity arises.

Big fish tank (Open Ocean), watching the Mantas or grouper glides across, we sometimes wonder whether this inhabitants are eyeballing us humans. Time passed easily when we are seated infront of the Ocean.

Therapeutic.

SEA Aquarium added some skeletons to remind us that Halloween is around the corner.
Some bones are in fish tanks, others around dining table.

Spooky SEAs pirates and “witches”. Not scary, cause all of them so friendly 🙂

A lot of activities to entertain the kids, puzzles, treasure hunts, and of course the promised loot of “sweets and kit-kats”. Who is afraid of skeletons 🙂

We see tombs and pumkins at strategic spots too.

Kids have not seen so many pumpkins in one place before. Even the resident stingray seems to be fighting over pumpkin possession.

Divers performing pumpkin artwork.

Spotted a cute vampire stingray, it is not scary at all.
