Faith’s First School Outing

I was so excited when I received the excursion approval form from Faith’s teacher last month and we signed up for the outing immediately. We are going to visit the Singapore Zoo organized by her school.


We went to her school early this morning for registration and briefing by the teachers. After the short briefing, we set off on our own since we decided not to follow the school bus which was provided by the school.

When we arrived at the Zoo, teacher Diana gave out the entry tickets to all parents and from there, we are on our own! It’s the second visit for Faith and this time, she will be enjoying more as she knows some of the animals compared to her first visit when she was only couple of months old…



Brought her to see the monkeys, tigers and though it was from a distance, she was showing signs that she is afraid. She kept telling me ‘mama, Tabi scared!’ I told her that these are the animals she saw on Hi-5 and now she is seeing them LIVE. Told her not to afraid and she seemed to calm down a bit after that.


The weather was scorching hot and we hopped onto the tram that took us around faster. We went to the KidsWorld and Faith became excited when she saw the water rides, slides and small water play area. Though she was thrilled about the water play, she still needed me to be around her as there were tons of kids splashing water around…







After lunch, we thought of watching the animal show but our little one fell into her deep sleep. We did not wake her and left the zoo to check ourselves in to Conrad.

When we arrived, I was quite disappointed that our room was not ready but the Duty Manager was really nice and managed to get the house-keeping to clean up the room quickly for us. She allowed us to put our stuff in the room and we brought Faith down for a swim since the house-keepers are still busy clearing up the last bit.

Faith enjoyed her swim very much and wanted to try to swim on her own. We were happy that she is kicking well and guess it’s about time to sign her up for some swimming lessons soon. *smiles*

The whole day event got our little really tired that she turned in earlier. Finally, the two of us got to spend some quiet time together watching movies on HBO…
