Music lessons for Shea has halted for now as the class is getting smaller and there is a need to consolidate whatever little students they've got left, into a single class.
So what's a mummy to do with a bundle of raw energy on a Saturday afternoon?
I scoured the shopping malls for cartoon characters' appearances and all I found were acrobatic troupes from the different provinces of China. Unless I was keen to let Shea learn to jump through window grilles, contort herself into the centre of a toilet roll, eat with chopsticks ambidextrously while rolling on her butt with her legs tucked behind her neck ... I AM NOT BRINGING HER TO WATCH MEN IN TIGHTS WITH BULGING CROTCHES!
Singapore Philatelic Museum to the rescue!
I thank my lucky stars that Shea is as interested in visiting museums as her mummy is and hopefully, she will inherit my stamp collection. Harnah ... I am a stamps nerd lah!
There weren't that many interactive exhibits to boot nor to keep Shea interested in the wordy displays. But this is a good place to scout for potential son-in-laws!
Shea and I dug through boxes of stamps in the lobby for Christmas stamps. A little hand thrusted a 1956 Australian Christmas stamp in my bin and quickly retracted ... I looked up to see a distinguished young man of 8; observant enough to know what we were looking for and sacrificed one from his collection of 7 stamps in his box.
Isn't it like ... awww?? Shea, when you grow up ... this kind of nerd with potential to grow up into a handsome nerd ... grab hor! Mother-in-law pleaser ... very good!
Young man ... you have my STAMP of approval!
We proceeded to the Asian Civilisation Museuem across the street. Twas a dread cos we weren't allowed to take pictures in there ... bleah. But will I leave that place with nothing in hand?
May I present you our Singapore-local-indie-band-type of photo at the entrance ... the pretend-you-are-not-looking-at-the-camera-and-must-stand-one-behind-another-in-the-same-frame-type of picture ...
Archaic indeed!
