We took the cable car

The missus told Xin Yi on Saturday that we would bring her to the cable car ride on Sunday.. and she kept talking about it. So, this morning despite the high PSI we proceeded (
correct grammar?) as planned. We went to Mount Faber (http://www.mountfaber.com.sg/) before lunch and bought a return tix at $10.90 each per adult (Xin Yi got the ride free).

Initially it was quite scary for all, obviously the whole family had a weak stomach for height. The missus was scared but decided to go for it (for the daughter's sake - good mum!); i was not comfortable, and missus realised my hand was shaky when holding the camera, and the daughter was very quiet at first. Though we took the one at Ocean Parkk Hong Kong, this was definitely higher. But I should say it is more stable, except for the return ride towards Harbour Front (from Sentosa i.e., we did not alight at Sentosa) was a bit bumpy, and also there was some heat from the Star Virgo's chimneys' smoke ... quite an experience.

Thereafter we had lunch at the Banquet food court at Harbour Front Centre, and went next to Vivo City www.vivocity.com.sg . It was really packed, as if half the shopping crowd in Singapore were there. But I have to say that it was big, and I would say it had more appeal that Marina Sq, for us at least, as Harbour Front is very accesible from our home by both bus 131 and North East LIne. I believe we would be there pretty often. But weekly grocery would be still at Carrefour PS.. nothing can beat there, but new shopping experience at Novena MRT coming up (new mall, and Novena Sq extension) we would be spoilt by choice!

Of late, it seems that girl girl had developed a strong interest in singing ... she could sing a few verses from songs played by my mum's VCD. Sometimes she would sing something which i could not understand until i asked my mum which soung was it. Really interesting. The missus said she had followed my footstep... but i always told her that i could become a "xing-pa" (translated as "star father"). The next Joi Chua? Maybe ...

Btw, just tried Penfold's Reisiling (www.penfolds.com.au) . The missus did not seem to like it saying it was rather sweet. But, this is afterall REISILING!!! It is supposed to be sweet. But i found it rather young (vintage 2006, so what can one expect!) but the aroma was okay. I think she might be comparing the one with from Nine Island which we bought at Piper's Brook in Tasmania during our honeymoon in yr 2000. Out of the World! But again, this one from Carrefour only cost less than 20 bucks.. so cun complain lah. While getting a pics of the Nine Island label, I just realised that they have been bought over and their web-site is now under the parent company www.kreglingerwineestates.com

Got to sign off, before the effect from the wine crept in and i start writing uncomprehensive, even for myself!.
