The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..

 

Yakult Professor's Playground

It's Mei Si's birthday today. If i'm superstitious, she should bring us lots of prosperity because her birthdate 8/8 means 'double riches' in Chinese. Well I don't believe in luck (at least the chinese numerological type). I believe in the type that God blesses just because we are His. The type that is more subtle but yet zillion times more abundant.

I spent the day at Wild Wild Wet because Charlie and the Chocolate Factory would cost more and because its rated PG, I'll have to do some parental guiding which I wasn't in 100% condition for. How blessed was I to be playing water today.. The Yakult Professor's Playground is an excellent part of the theme park to be if you want to be playing with kids. It was excellently designed that it keeps the excitement going by having waters splashing from everywhere. You kind of get surprises from all sides. I saw an old lady of at least 70-80 years old queuing up at the ultra high "Ular-lah" slide down to the Playground. She was huge and wore a tight skirted bikini. I didn't dare to take pictures to prove it but you have to be there to see that its really a place of eternal youth! It was never a dull moment whenever you are at Wild Wild Wet.

HopeKids LIVE! was exactly what we wanted it to be. It was also never a dull moment there as well. The first feedback we got was from Renae Smith who said that "It was fabulous" and the only negative thing she could say is that the background music was too loud during the Games instructions. The vision of HopeKids LIVE! is that all of us just put in a little bit more to make the 1.5 hours the best learning time in a kids week and it has come to pass (well at least for the first week). Kudos to the team and to the BIG Leader of the team (the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the God of all of us).

There were 4 new kids and we will be expecting a few thousands more later. OK I'm exaggerating .. but many times we think that God exaggerated too... but He wasn't ..hmm we are all so excited about the prospect that HopeKids LIVE! can bring more children to a blessed life!

i admire your imagination and boundless spirit of joy... i love wild wild wet, or wet wet wild whatver it is called. The last time i went there, it was closed. So it was quite disappointing. I can imagine how fun it will be in there. Your stories are always colourful and a joy to read, how i wish life is always that upbeat.
 
Wild Wild Wet!!! yes, its fun and I saw an old lady with her husband of at least 70 y/o wearing a skirted bikini. And she was queing up on the high powered "Ular-lah" slide. I didn't dare to take a picture so I can't prove it. You have to go there to see that its really a place of eternal youth!
