No prizes for guessing where we went over the weekend. Yes, we booked at room at Crowne Plaza at Changi Airport for a night. We find it difficult and troublesome to travel abroad with our little girl so we decided to do a "Staycation" instead.
Well, we felt it was a good decision cos Yee Sinn was very fascinated with view that our room came with. It faceed the airport runway with the skytrains running parrallel below. We wanted to show her the actual size and scale of an aeroplane and we managed to do just that. So now, she knows that an aeroplane is huge and makes a booming sound when taking off. Many times, she would exclaim excitedly "来了来了来了！！" whenever there's a plane taking off or the skytrain coming past. She can't pronounce the letter "L" and "R" very well yet so she'll just point and say "Air pain" or "Thain"
Over at terminal 3, Changi Airport was one of the main sponsor for next year's Youth Olympics 2010. There were game booths set up so we gamely participated in some. We walked off with some cash vouchers which were used to pay for our lunch at the airport. Our little girl had fun jumping on the inflatable castles as well as dancing to the music on the podium.
The airport was quite a child friendly place. They have constructed an indoor play area for the kids. There were some interactive exhibits where the children could draw and colour on some block prints. We also went swimming at the hotel pool in the late evening. Strangely though, the water was very cold. We didn't stay long before we called it a day.
When we got home on Sunday, we rested awhile before heading down to Toa Payoh Central for a walk. We came upon a stall whereby we could rent battery operated cars for $3 for 15 mins. For the younger kids, they have remote controlled battery operated cars!! We thought Yee Sinn would be interested so we gave it a try. Guess it ended up with Hubby enjoying himself more. The best part? The business owner was so creative to come with with a loyalty card - Buy 10 rides and get 1 free. Guess we'll be going back there more often now. Hee Hee.
