Monsoon!

The wet season has officially arrived!! Every afternoon at about 4pm the heavens have opened with torrential rain. It is so much fun to go out and play in the rain particularly after the really hot days. Today it didn't rain and it was actually worse than ever because the heat and humidity was so intense that your body was just covered in sweat as soon as you move.

Mum thinks that I have some new teeth coming as I have been pulling some very funny faces and have not been sleeping as well as I usually do. I saw the doctor and she said that I was fine!

The OC has nearly finished and everyone is heading off to their field. We have a few more days in Singapore with Nanna and Poppa which I am looking forward to. We are going to visit some of the tourist sights which should be very fun.

Mum is very quite as she has lost her voice!! I am making up for it for her :)

ahh! what's happening to me??

I woke up in the middle of the night in a lot of pain!
I just couldn't sleep when I went to church!
Mum had no idea of what was going on until dad stuck his finger in my mouth and discovered that my FIRST TOOTH had cut through!
No wonder I was in so much pain!
Perhaps this will help me eat my bananas, watermelon and paw paw -I love my fruit!!

This is me enjoying my first ice cream!

Mega Church!!

This Sunday mum and dad dragged me half way across Singapore on buses and trains to go to a MEGA CHURCH!!

We arrived to loud music blaring out of a large auditorium filled with about 8000 people - it was nuts!! Mum took me into the little kids room which had mattresses all over the floor with heaps of little babies on them. I couldn't sleep at all and mum missed the whole service.

Dad said it was like a Hillsong church service on steroids with a bit more of an Asian feel. They claimed that across all their services there were about 22,000 people!! There was lots of clapping and 'amens' and 'hallelujahs', with the typical loud music and great light show. They even gave out free hotdogs to first timers - dad didn't share his with me!

At night mum ran an 'insight night' back at the home base - she did a great job. Dad played a game called settlers and didn't get to bed until sometime around 1am.

Sentosa Beach

After mum and dad finished their lectures in the morning, we all jumped into taxi's to go to Sentosa - an island just of Singapore. We had a wonderful time. I played in the sand and went swimming for the first time - I loved it!! The water was extremely warm and I swam for about an hour and managed to avoid getting sunburnt! Mum and dad played soccer on the beach and we a lovely dinner at the local food hall.

At night we went to see a musical fountain which I just loved!! There was water spouting in the air and fire billowing out as well as a laser show in the fountain. It was the first time I had seen anything like this and I just couldn't sit still!! We eventually got home and I slept like a log!!

sunday in singapore

In the morning I went with mum and dad to a local Anglican Church which was packed and very hot and was very much like a church back in Australia except that there were no walls and there were many people from different nations present. I had a good view of a brick wall, but dad said the minister was a fellow from Australia and that the sermon was on John 10 and it was very good.

In the afternoon we went into downtown Singapore and visited the river are and saw all the sights. It was very humid and lots of people kept on looking at me and touching my feet. We ate dinner in a food hall - I ate lentils (yuk) while mum and dad feasted on satay. We had a wonderful time and at the end of the day I was so tired that dad had to wake me up the next morning at well after 8 and I just didn't want to get out of bed!
