We had our Silver in Weightlifting in 1960 Mr Tan Howe Liang, and Table Tennis bronzes. My kids might not understand the significance of this moment yet, it is really not easy for a small country to provide world-class sportsmen!

Joseph Schooling has proven to Singaporeans that Dreams can come true.
It takes a huge amount of commitment and determination to achieve our Dreams! (and $$ investments too)

However, I do believe the hardest hurdle is parents’ support.
Do we support out kids all the way, or we remind them to be “pragmatic”? (Dilemma)

Nevertheless, I hope a whole new generation of kids will be inspired to take up sports. Everyone in the Olympics is already a champion!

In true Singapore sense (haha), 4D number 5039 sold out and everyone is calling for Monday No-School (pun intended) :p

Marina Bay Sands Infinity pool

At Marina Bay Sands Infinity pool, what did Boon Yi do to make Daddy so angry again? Daddy also threw him in Malacca’s pool ! Read on to find out why we are hanging out at Marina Bay area again.

Some of the icons spotted in and around MBS, including our Merlion friend.

Actually, we had pop by Jiu Jiu’s Marina Bay Sands (MBS) staycation last month. When Daddy told the kids that we can swim in the world’s tallest swimming pool, kids agree to behave immediately πŸ™‚

Daddy brought Kang up to skypark for a sneak peek first. The weather is HOT, and we can already imagine ourselves soaking in the pool !

Skypark is really lush with greenery. Hello, this is a roof, but it is also an oasis, and not your usual concrete and mortar. So NICE !

Everyone must pose next to the “edge” when you up in MBS’s infinity pool :p

Although there is a safety gap beyond the wall, we would advise parents to ensure active kids do not try to scale the wall. There are also lifeguards on duty.

There is a wading pool for the younger ones

Needless to say, Yi and Xin truly are water babies too.

We went on a weekday, and it was already quite crowded. It will be hard to imagine how crowded the pool will be on a weekend. Forget about doing your laps πŸ™‚

From the front, you can view Singapore’s Central Business district..

On the other side, we can catch the paranomic Gardens by the Bay. We did a short introduction about 29th Jun’s opening yesterday. This garden will be a nice picnic spot for families πŸ™‚
