S'pore Day 2

It's been days, more than a week since we got back to taipei. We've been heading out everyday... stay-at-home mama is not home and mama never gets a chance to sit down and start writing only until I'm sleeping. It's mama's only free time now.  

Back to Day 2 in Singapore. 
It's the President's open house by the famous shopping street, Orchard Road. Mama has been to the Istana when she was probably in elementary school.
As we passed the gate, we expected to see the presidents house right away! But it was green everywhere, people were having picnics, children playing ball, painting away... we walked further in
 We finally reached the Istana, bought a ticket to enter the building! Gifts from various countries were displayed, the chandeliers hanging caught my attention the most. Sorry no pictures allowed! 
 Boy, it was hot & humid. We cooled down a little being inside the Istana. Despite the heat, Mama loves the trees and being out in the sun.  

 Singapore crest " Majulah Singapura"
 Mama sang the National anthem " Majulah Singapura" in Malay every morning before school begins. Papa said he never sang the anthem since he's a foreigner.

We've been eating at food centers since we touched down. Finally, a seat of my own!
 Spotted a trolley down on orchard road!
 It's only been a year mama visited Singapore while 4 months pregnant and she spotted newly renovated buildings. Even Singaporeans say they can't keep up with the constant change!
 Papa & his co-worker continued their tour around Singapore while grandpa, grandma and mama shopped around and headed home to rest. I slept while mama shopped and mama couldn't rest when we got home!
