Luvv,
I didn't book tix for the Baby Panda leh. Cos didn't know how busy my hub's new job would be. Today we went for a show (by the Singapore Chinese Orchestra), he has to work the whole day, only dropped by 5min before the show and left 10min after the show. Lucky I went with my friend, so she helped me with the kids too, esp during the car ride. Now that I have to travel for work, even don't dare or cannot book for show too much in advnace liao :-(
Oh BTW, the show we went was this -
http://sco.com.sg/concert/programmes/3347.html, very interesting and the kids loved it!! And the tix is very cheap too - $11 for 1hour plus of live orchestra, very worth it, just that the timing is not great, it's 8pm. Look out for it, they will have more shows like this for the children.
Pixie,
Glad to know CIO works for X2! It's really great thing that X1 is willing to try falling asleep by himself, very well done! Mine still sticking to me like superglu, must touch my hand and leg to fall sleep.
You will be going to London in late May / early June?? It's about summer time already right? Still have to wear "heavy-duty" coat like that? Thought those Britons are nearly wearing sleeveless and shorts already around this time
Though I have lived in England for a few years, I don't have much tips to offer you cos I didn't live in London, never stayed a night in London, only did day visits, and I didn't do shopping at all. If you are going to ask about places of interest, then I may be able to help.
pixie / Luvv,
We had been to a similar activity like the Zoolympic a few months ago. It's a great dissappointment. It's very poorly organised and honestly, it's not fun at all. Main reason being that they hired part timers (students) to run the game booths, and these young people ah, no enthu in playing the games with the kids, looking at their face also sian liao, and their attitute is super bad, like you want to play you play loh, I just stand here and look. And because we went with so much expectation, you know, the pre-talks I had to give to HR to get him interest, trying to do the "woah" and "ooooh" and being silly to make the game looked fun, after 2 game booths, totally no mood liao and gave up. Not sure how it'll be for this coming Zoolympic, I hope there were people feedback about the last round and they improved on it. But we are definitely not going for that.
