Let's Fly

Dearest Phoebe, Daddy is a little late with this entry as I was procrastinating again. Bad, bad habit which you should avoid like the plague. Yesterday, we were on the top of the world! We took the Singapore Flyer, the largest Ferris Wheel in the world (for now). It was on the spur of the moment that we decided to go to the Singapore Flyer. You fell into a deep sleep while we were on the bus to Suntec Convention Centre as you were probably lulled to sleep by the noise of the bus engine. Upon arrival at the Singapore Flyer, Mummy and I decided to eat some snacks at the Popeyes. It is a fried chicken fast food restaurant located just below the Flyer and it has a quaint coffee joint inside its premises. While you were sleeping, Mummy and I were engaged in conversation but somehow our discussions always digressed to you in general. Probably it's because you are always on our minds constantly. We got tickets for the 6:30 ride and we even got a you a lollypop to distract you in case you were bored with the ride. We didn't bring along our regular camera as our trip down to the Flyer was impromptu. Hence, Mummy's phone camera was put to good use. We boarded the capsule at six thirty sharp and as our capsule was thrusted heavenward, we just kicked back and enjoyed the view. The sight was simply breathtaking, our grainy photos captured do not do justice to the sheer panoramic view that the Flyer offers. You would have to see it to feel the grandiose and lifting effect of the ride. Darling, you were pretty much engrossed in sucking on your lollypop while comfortably seated in a corner of the capsule. After the ride, we headed to Marina Square for a dinner at a Japanese restaurant where you had two servings of the steamed egg. Daddy even got an early birthday present from Mummy, a spanking new 3.5G phone!!!! We headed home after dinner, still high on the fumes of euphoria and exhiliration. BTW, I really like the way you say "Singapore Flyer". You said it with so much conviction and enthusiasm such that our tourism board will probably bill your words as a verbial testmonial from one of their youngest satisfied customer! Be good and smile pretty, Daddy Dearest.
