The boys have finished their school books and are now officially on holiday! We celebrated by purchasing the traditional Lego mini-figures they get when they finish each workbook. After visiting ToyHunt at Century Square mall, we took the MRT to the Philatelic Museum near Fort Canning. It is a really lovely museum!
The boys posted a very special post card to someone who inspires them to collect stamps too! We wish you could have joined us at the Philatelic Museum but maybe there is one in Toronto too!
As PRs, we get free entry to museums in Singapore. With the savings, we treat ourselves to little gifts in the souvenir shop...like adding to our stamp collections! What fun choosing stamps!
Nearby the Philatelic Museum is the equally lovely Peranakan Museum. We had a fun visit there as well and enjoyed a freshly squeezed lemonade in jars!
On the way to the MRT, the boys were intrigued by a drop of water on a lily pad that eventually rolled off! Singapore has many delightful buildings left over from days gone by...luckily. I hope they preserve the shophouses. I love the ones covered in green foliage with hanging lanterns. These are the scenes of Singapore that I love so much.
To end a perfect day, we met Papa in Chinatown for a Vietnamese dinner! Our adventure in Singapore is coming to a close as we try to balance packing and celebrating with friends and saying good bye to some of our favourite haunts. On that note, it's time to stop typing and enjoy the beautiful day outside!
