We took Joy for her first international trip to Singapore last year end. The trip was a total of 11days from 20th Dec to 2nd Dec.
21st Dec 2013(Saturday): Was a day of rest with a visit to Waterfront park in the evening. She happily slept through the visit and woke up when we were leaving.
22nd Dec 2013(Sunday): Gardens by the Bay. Thoroughly enjoyed the cloud forest and the flower garden. She loved running around and the silence of the place. Towards the end of the visit she tripped and fell while running down a ramp and had cut her lip. cried for a few minutes and was back to the being the naughtiness she is.
23rd Dec 2013(Monday): Was pretty much at home, In the evening went for the Water play area in the Sengkong mall. She was initially exited seeing the water but backed off once she got wet.
24th Dec 2013(Tuesday): River Safari. She enjoyed the trip thoroughly watching birds, Pandas, squirrel monkeys, Polar bear, crocodiles and many more animals.
25th Dec 2013(Wednesday): Ikea store. Nothing much of interest for her. She was more angry as we dint allow her to touch anything.
26th Dec 2013(Thursday): Mustafa. Nothing much here either. She went shopping with her dad and I was by myself to finish my shopping.
27th Dec 2013(Friday): Sentosa resort island. Her first experience to the Sea. Oh how much she loved the beach!!! She got so exited that she was even sleep talking about going to the beach. Visited the Merlion for the view and headed off to the beach. Initially she was a little skeptical about the vast amount of water and resisted going into the sea. But once she had her feet in the sand and the water, she loved it and thoroughly enjoyed the sand and the water. Her first cable car ride too.
28th Dec 2013(Saturday): Think we stayed home the whole day. Don't remember exactly what we did.
29th Dec 2013(Sunday): China Town and Mariamman temple. Loved shopping here. She enjoyed the colorful streets and the temple and slept off half-way through the visit
30th Dec 2013(Monday): S.E.A aquarium(South East Asia Aquarium). Asia's largest aquarium. She was all exited to watch numerous and a wide variety of fishes.
31st Dec 2013(Tuesday): Stayed at home the whole day and relaxed. Went to the count down party @ 10:30pm. She dint enjoy it much and was puzzled by the sounds and the party poppers. But was happy and exited and chanting "Happy new year" to everyone she met.
1st Jan 2014(Wednesday): Returned back to Chennai. She slept soon after the take off. We took the bassinet and put her to sleep but there was turbulent weather(or the captain says so..) and we had to take her out of the bassinet and she didn't sleep again.
2nd Jan 2014(Thursday): Back by train to Bangalore. She happily slept through the entire 5 hour train journey.
Other things she loved in general were her "Pedda nana, Siya and paygound(play ground... she doesn't pronounce the la and ra sounds yet). She loved the play ground so much that every waking moment was a request for the main door key to head to the playground. She would spend time there till 1:30am in the morning and return home sleeping.
Health wise she had a upset stomach through most of the trip, but that didn't stop her from enjoying the trip though there were frequent visits to the Baby room to change poopy diapers.
