My parents work on weekends, except for public holidays. So, when National Day came, we got out of bed, changed everyone and sped off literally to join them for breakfast and a hiking trip with their friends.
We ended up driving up Mt Faber, and it was CROWDED at 9.30a.m.!
Most people were in sports attire, with water bottles, hats, sunglasses and umbrellas. When my Dad said 'let's go', I started to panick. How long do we have to walk and where to??
We ended up reaching the 1st part of the Henderson Wave Bridge. Worth the walk, and me perspiring profusely without a rubber-band to tie up my hair. The kids were the lucky ones who had their water bottles with them (Daddy carried them in the bag) and Ammi was doubly lucky because she refused to walk the moment we started hiking and she sat on everyone's arms as we took turn to carry her. Smart girl knows how to conserve her energy. Daddy ended up having to carry our 20kg son uphill for the last 200m on our way back!
Then it was to Sentosa, and everyone took the Luge even Ammi, with her oversized child helmut.
