Went there last Saturday. Was a sunny afternoon and it was a weekend, plus the school holidays. Queues were generally long. The Rapids Adventure has a 80 mins queue...
Lucas quite enjoyed the Enchanted Airways ride at Far Far Away. The show at Far Far Away was ok, but I thought they over did the water spraying portions... Disney had the same type of shows too.
I thought the Revenge of the Mummy ride at Ancient Egypt was good. The queue was only 10 minutes. The walk in was long and winding though. Treasure Hunters was a let down. 40 mins queue and was a total waste of time.
I went with Lyra to Madagascar's Party-Go-Round (basically a merry go round). She dare not take the animals, so we ended up on the crate instead.
Waterworld was so-so. I did not quite enjoy it.
All in all, the park was small. But San thought it was better than Hong Kong's Disney.

Went on a 5N4D trip to Tokyo. Was drizzling on the 2 days that were meant for Disney. What a pity.
We went to hunt for a place for Animal Kaiser on the first day. Walked around Akiba and went to all those bigger arcades, but could not find it. Eventually asked around and was directed to go back towards the Akiba station at Yodobashi Camera building. Found one machine at L6. I would have thought it was all the rage in Japan, but there are many more such card based games. Such as an Ultraman, 3X3 eyes, Gundam looking ones, etc. AK was Y100 ($1.50) per play. Cheaper than $2 in Singapore. Lucas played quite a few games. We eventually came back here on Saturday night as well.
Next 2 days are for Disneyland and Disneysea. Both days were drizzling. It was cold, our socks were wet and the feeling was lousy. Still, Disneysea was better... not so much drizzle. And the Tower thingy was great. We almost flew out of our seats. Lucas managed to take the roller coaster at the Little Mermaid area. It's the only one that he is tall enough for. We will have to return some other time in the future I guess.
We spent the next two days walking around Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, Akihabara and Shibuya before heading back home. Shopping is always part and parcel of an overseas trip. I got a very nice (but pricey) dark brown Ganzo Cordovan wallet to replace my Ferragamo one and a pair of Katherine Hemnett shoes.

Lyra celebrated her 1st birthday at the infant care on friday. We celebrated for her at home today with some friends and relatives. The food from the caterer was quite good. Chili Padi Catering does nonya food. The curry from the chicken curry was very good. So was the bo bo cha cha. Their lemon tea also tasted quite refreshing.
Yesterday, we went to Pasir Ris Park and they played at the outdoor playground. We went had dinner at one of the restaurant there. The seafood was quite good.

It's been a long time since the last update. On the audio side, i have gotten proper stands for my Coral Beta 8s and have gotten a Lenco L75. A rebuild is in order for the Lenco some day down the road.
Over at home, things were not so smooth. We went to the zoo with Lucas and Lyra during the National day holidays. Then Lyra had fever for 5 days or so, then San got it for a week, then Lucas got it for around 5 days as well, then San got it back again. So the virus is doing it's round... we all recovered it time for a trip to Genting though.
