Singapore Flyer

We went up the Singapore Flyer this morning. There was a pretty good deal going on at the moment. Get 2 adult tickets at full price and 2 children go for free. It's quite a good deal since the kids tickets are more than 2/3 the price of an adult ticket. It looked really impressive from the ground.


The queue was pretty short which was a good thing. We weren't prepared to wait hours just to board the flyer. Each capsule was fairly big and spacious with seats. And it was most importantly, air-conditioned! I thought the ride was just right at half an hour a round. A bit overpriced but nice.


The view was magnificent. And it changed the whole time so we weren't bored at all. We got lots of great photos of Singapore from way up in the air. From the East to the Marina area, to the city skyline and the West. Very nice. It's one of those things where you go once and probably never return. But it's a definate must-go. I would say the evening/sunset photos would be much nicer but I think it would be very crowded as well. It would be nice at night too but almost impossible to capture on camera.

Weekly Scraps

These are our first kite flying photos. It was a hot and windy day. And the kids enjoyed themselves. Bryan especially. I used October Afternoon's Fly a Kite papers, rubons, stickers, journalling cards. I love the colours on this collection. And the ice-cream paper is very versatile. It's going to be my favourite OA collection.


I had Pink Paislee's Valentine papers and diecuts saved up for my anniversary photos. It was our 6th wedding anniversary. I also used stamps from Inkadinkado and Prima. Flowers and jewels from Prima; ribbons and accent from Websters.

Treetop Walk

We went on a treetop walk today. It was a very warm day but cool under the canopy. We started out from the Pepys Road entrance and ended up in Kent Ridge Park. It was a lovely walk. We saw quite a few people out there too, including families, some with dogs. There was also a small museum there, remembering the Pasir Panjang battle during WW2.

We should go around to these sort of places in Singapore more often. It's a lovely change from the busy shopping centres.

Fun and Fit Day

Bryan had his Fun and Fit Day in school yesterday. It's sort of like a sports day. The 4 K1 classes had a mass workout and played games. Even the parents, ie me, were invited to join in. I have to say they are quite good at remembering the rules and following instructions. Bryan looked like he had so much fun, actually I did a little too. There was even time for a snack later. I managed to get a couple of really nice photos with Bryan and his friends. It's nice to see him enjoying the company of his friends.

Weekly Scraps

The past couple of weeks have been really busy. Especially at work. I've hardly had time for a breather. But over the weekends especially, I've managed to get some scrapping done. I'm using up my old collections. This is from October Afternoon Night Light and Hometown.


I've also used up my October Afternoon Farm Fresh stash for some zoo photos taken in February. Yes, I'm really really behind.


I couldn't wait to try out Websters Pages, Garden Gala. I also used a lot of Hambly's in this one. They just go so well together. The big gate stamp is from Hero Art's Clings. It's a gorgeous white space filler.


Life's Portrait is one of Webster's best collections. This 12 by 12 diecut is simply gorgeous. I couldn't wait to use it. I've also used Hambly's transparency to highlight the photo. And lovely chandelier stamp is from Prima, the word stamps from Ali Edwards. The flowers and the jewels are from Prima.

Weekly Scraps

I only managed 3 pages the past week. It's all done with October Afternoon's Thrift Shop 8 X 8 paperpad. With some Pink Paislee. The car is actually from OA's Weathervane collection. And a few old stickers from OA's Road Map collection.

After the Procedure

I had to have a minor operation to remove an impacted wisdom tooth. And my dental surgeon gave me a whole 5 days at home to recover. Which I did. For the most part. With having 2 kids, it's not so easy to rest and recover at home in peace.

The operation went smoothly and was fairly fast. The only thing I was quite traumatised with was the sound of the drill. Now this is not the usual dental burr that the dentist uses when cleaning your teeth. This is the bone drill. Which sounds exactly like the electric drill, probably feels like it too. My jaw aches just thinking about it. I'm glad the LA worked very well.

But I'm much better now, and going back to work. Which I actually look forward to. The quiet office, the aircon and sometime to myself. For some part of the day at least. It's been so hot in Singapore lately, by the end of the day, with my painkillers wearing off, the heat and a whole day of being patient. I get a bit crabby.

Weekly Scraps

I started on an 8 X 8 album for our Chinese New Year trip to KL, Malaysia. This is the first time I'm doing a page without any photos on it. I used the cute Cosmo Cricket Road Trip for half of the pages. As well as Hambly's rub-on stitches.




For these pages, I broke out the October Afternoon Thrift Shop 8 X 8 paper pads. They are perfect for family potraits. I also used Tattered Angels Family cards. As well as some Prima and Hamblys.


This is actually the last page. I did this first because I had some idea of what I wanted to do.
