A Fun Day @ Singapore Science Centre cum Witnessing the Hatching of a Chick!

MW took leave today as he needed to queue up for ZY's next year Nursery registration. Will blog about this next time.

Anyway, since he took leave, we decided to go to the Singapore Science Centre today. Once we reached the centre, we quickly had our lunch at McDonald and eagarly exlored the place. The centre was totally different from the time I've visited donkey years ago (I think its during my Sec sch time!). What a great improvement!

There are alot of exhibits that allow kids to touch and feel. The hands on experience is great! Both ZY and MW had a great time walking all over the place while poor me had to push the stroller (we intend to let ZY nap on it) while taking photos at the same time =_="

ZY having fun doodling at the screen and also sitting on the "Toilet Bowl cum Weighing Machine". While you sit on the machine, it is able to measure your BMI for u.

The Discovery Zone also has an area where we can witness the hatching of little chicks. We were so excited to be able to see one chick breaking out of its shell right infront of our eyes!!! Watch the video below!

The centre also has a waterplay area called the Waterworks. You can see quite a number of water related science exhibits here like how to create your own rainbow! ZY has lots of fun throwing the balls into the tunnel of water. She kept on throwing and throwing the balls just like a Durecell rabbit :D

Overall this is a very ineresting place to bring a kid along, however we will definitely choose to come on a weekend in the future as there were groups and groups of Primary school students visiting the centre yesterday and the place looks and sound like a school canteen during recess time! They were shouting and running all over the place and we were not able to really enjoy the place while they were there #_# OMG

hahaha.. i remember myself to be one of those noisy student at the Science Centre when young. I would think that all of us educated in singapore would have been to the SC at least 3-4 times during primary school. It is the "most go" for all students then. hhhm.. i wander if the present schools still bring the students there often.
