2nd time to Orchard

Posted by Dawn at Sunday, July 20, 2008
Since our church services are now on Saturday, we have the whole Sunday free to spend time together as a family. So, we have planned to trip to Orchard Road with Caleb in the late morning and in the evening, we will join in the Racial Harmony Celebration down at our block.

It's Caleb's 2nd visit to Orchard. He went there when we was only 5 months. Here's a picture of him then.



Yep, he looked so chubby last time. It's quite funny as CT and I reviewed old photos of Caleb.

Anyway, here's Caleb now at least enjoying more of the sights and not being so blur.



He is wearing his new clothes which friends got for him for his birthday.

We had lunch there at Takashimaya, did shopping at Taka, Centrepoint as well as Plaza Singapura with the vouchers we had. We actually walked from one to another till finally we took a train back at Plaza Sing back to our house.

When we reached home, my legs were so tired that I needed to rest a while to perk myself up for the 2nd part of our activity.

So at about 4pm, we went down our place to join in the celebration of Racial Harmony day where the roads were closed for the parade.



It is a annual event at our place where schools would perform, ministers, and ambassadors of various countries would grace the occasion.

Here's the crowd joining in the macarena mass dance


And the performers..







What I was looking forward to was the free food! And of course, there was a long queue! But I guess it was all part of the fun.



We had free vegetarian food,


mee rebus,


mee siam, lontong




marshmellow and fruits with chocolate fondue.


Free drinks too..



There were also free games for the children. Of course, Caleb is still too young.







The kids seemed to enjoy the foam party most!


At least, Caleb got to enjoy it too!


What an enjoyable but tiring day. Everyone was so full that they did not eat dinner. So, I prepared dessert for the family - papaya with white fungus and longan dessert. As for me, I still went down to the Kopitiam to grab myself some dinner. Haha..
