Ahoy there!

My mom goes frequently on gambling cruises on board the Superstar Virgo and collect points that entitle her to free nights stay sometimes.  After many many invitations, Darren finally, and to my surprise, accepted her Chinese New Year invite on a 3D2N cruise to no where.  It wasn't much fun for him as he isn't much a Casino fan.  Oh well, Elliot needs a babysitter anyway.... Elliot enjoyed his running up and down the isles, going up and down the lifts, driving the "cars" in the game arcade and just simply that he's on board a big ship!

Being tourists for a day

Chinese New Year is usually a period of up to 4 days for visiting relatives and friends. But for myself, since stepping out of teenage, such "customary" visitings have been reduced to only on the first day! For Elliot, this meant lesser angbaos. To make up for this, we have decided to bring Elliot out, visiting local places of attraction. We intended to visit the Central Fire Station but to our disappointment, I didn't get the facts right before heading down to Hill Street. They are only open to public on Saturday mornings. Luckily, the Heritage Gallery was opened.   (Singapore Civil Defence Force - CD Heritage Gallery)

After going around the Gallery and up to the second storey twice, we left and headed for Cable Car Station for that long over due cable car ride.  Better take advantage of that "Free of Charge for Children under 3" before Elliot turns 3 in July...
