Another Most Tiring Day of My Life

We are going to the Chingay 2008. My Papa got a pair of tickets from his friend and thought it'll be a great idea to spend the Saturday evening watching floats. I wasn't keen at first as I thought playing the Pokemon was a much better thing to do on Saturdays. But then my Papa was so exited about it that I thought why not. We drove to Papa's office as it was near the Chingay at Padang and parked the car. We were late but thought who would be early anyway? Anyway to cut it short, we were late. We didn't get our seats because they have already closed the gates. I tried to climb up a fence and a window of the nearby building but the policeman warned me to come down when he saw me. Luckily I saw a Caucasian couple leaving they space near the barricade and quickly took up the space. It was fun watching the floats, but the standing was killing me. We decided to leave the float and go to the fun fair nearby instead. There I had a lot of fun playing the blow-up playground. It was a gigantic Jurassic Dinosour playground. I met some other kids and we became friends. When my time was up, Papa and me went to the MacDonald and had our supper. Oh yes, there were fireworks, but I don't really like fireworks because they are so noisy.

The Most Tiring Day of My Life

Today, my papa and me went to MacRitchie reservoir. We are having the Chinese New Year holiday and thought it was a good idea to cross the HSBC Tree Top Walk bridge. You see, my papa, with all his greatness is a scary cat of heights. You should see him when we were up the DHL balloon and Kent Ridge park Canopy Walk. His knees went wobbly and he will freeze up! Nevertheless, he always told me that we should always face what we fear, at least once ;-P

It was a long journey to the HSBC Tree Top Walk. Of course I do not understand what 4.4km meant then and my papa said it's not that far. But it was far... very far ... so far that I thought I will never ever reach it. It was a funny journey. I am afraid of the creepy crawlies of the jungle and there were many butterflies around. I don't really like butterflies, they're bugs and I don't like bugs. One on them even buzzed close to my ears while we were walking! Eeeeeuuu!!!

At last we reached HSBC Tree Top Walk. It was a beautiful loooong bridge. I love it and went across quickly. Ops, looked like my papa decided to freeze up again. I had to walk slowly, so as not to swing the bridge. My papa don't like swinging bridge, especially one that is very high up. We made it across the bridge. It was a beautiful sight and I wished my papa would had passed me his camera phone if not for his trembling hands. :-P

Success! Objective met and now we shall celebrate with Milo Dinosaur or Godzilla. But first we had to walk back to our car. The directional sign board said MacRitchie Carpark 5.5km. I wonder what that means?
