Hey, another few weeks have gone by, not much new to report. Last weekend we took the Duck Tour, played badminton, we went swimming, another week passed. Today I took Zen shopping – bought him a toy bus and a superman set – red and white which he should wear for the Singapore national day celebration on Tuesday at school (before the real holiday) – and then we went to see the Malaysia train. National day is a big deal, but for us it’s just nice to have a holiday again after a long time without – the last national holiday was in May, that was… one, two, three… THREE MONTHS AGO!!
This was taken at Suntec City just before we rode on the Duck tour.
Cool shot of Zen and the carp.
This is Suntec City’s “fountain of wealth” picture taken from the bottom. In the early morning, “the world’s largest fountain” is not on, so you can wander into the area and touch the “lucky waters.” According to geomancy (“feng shui”), the centre of Sunted City – which is shaped like a hand with the five towers representing four fingers and a thumb… of a left hand – is lucky. This fountain, where the water is pumped up in air and falls downward (instead of being shot up and then falling down) is luckier than your typical fountain. Why? Because the water flows towards the epicentre of Suntec City, and flowing water represents flowing wealth/luck/fortune. So, if the fountain were on, luck and fortune and wealth would be flowing into Zen’s brain…

Ditto…
I’ve seen the Merlion a million times, but this seems like a particularly good shot of it…
A rare public display of affection between Peter and Naoko…
Zen bought a bus today. He also got cool new red and white Superman clothes. He’ll wear it on Tuesday for the pre-National Day celebration at school.
Funny face Zen.
Funny face Naoko.
