Children's Museum @ Jalan Sultan

31 July 2010 (Sat):

This morning, we went over to ICA to get the kids' passport done. Lionel's expiring Dec this year whereas Rachel's passport photo and her current look is totally different so i might as well get both passports done.

After dropping the forms in the deposit box, we went over to the Children's Museum located over at Jalan Sultan. As it was a hot day, i decided to take a bus in spite of only 1 bus stop. I was afraid that the place wldnt be easily located & i wasnt sure if i was walking towards the right direction.

After about 10 mins of debation with myself ( walk this way? cross the road? turn to my right/left?), we finally found the museum. We saw the mosque first & after i was done taking a pic of the kids with the mosque behind, Lionel shouted out in glee that he saw a robot. I was wondering what robot & turn towards the direction he pointed. Then i realised its the museum. Right on track!

Rachel with the baby chair. Its made of rattan. I myself have nvr seen this before but looking at its structure, i believe u can put 2 toddlers sitting inside & rock them as well as pushing them ard. And that's what Rachel did. She sat inside while i pushed her ard.
** Lionel, well, he was too old for it but somehow he managed to squeeze himself into it. Well, wrong move! He got stuck. No matter how i pulled & tugged, he wldnt come loose. What mess he got himself in. I was so frustrated. I didnt know what to do. I tried to see if any part was loose but everything was still strong. I held him under his arms & froze myself while i pulled out with all my might. I knew that this move wld cause him to scream & yelled but its the only way. He finally got out with some minor abasions on his thigh.

We spent abt 1.5 hours inside the museum & made for lunch at the nearby Raffles Hospital. Rachel fell asleep while eating. At least she finished about 3 quarters of her noodles. We took a taxi back.
