Singapore - Part 13

On the 31st of December, we left Singapore. It was sad :'(

This time, on our return trip, we had to go to Japan, then Washington D.C., then finally Canada. 

In Japan, we went through a few of the shops while we were waiting for our flight. The origami there was amazing!

 And then there were a few Japanese dolls too.

In Washington, we drank a "coffee" to stay awake. 

 But the minute we got onto the plane everyone zonked out :P

 And by the time we got to Canada, we were so tired that we didn't look too excited at finally getting home sweet HOME! :)

Singapore - Part 12

After a delicious lunch at a restaurant, my uncle suggested we take pictures at a river, which happened to be a "hop, jump, and a skip away" :D 

So that's what we did. 

Chek Kong taking a picture of me taking a picture of him. 

Cousin 1 and Dare Devil

Cousin 3 and Toblerone

There were some really steep steps ( I guess you can call them that, though I don't know what they're really for) that led down to the river and I wanted to try scattering all the cousins on the steps. This is one of about 20 or 30 other photos. Do you know how hard it is to get 9 people ranging from 1 to 13 years to look at you all at once without moving? :)

In the end, I don't think I actually got a PERFECT photo, but I'm satisfied. Thanks, guys!

All the boy cousins

Cousin 1 and Dare Devil (again :))

And then just before we left, someone (I'm not sure who) suggested family photos. I don''t know if this happens in your family too, but in mine it's always "Just one more photo", click click, "Don't move, just one more . . .", click click click, "Just ONE more!"

There were quite a few pigeons around the river and I had been trying to figure out how to take pictures of them. I tried following them around, but of course, they just waddled away as fast as they could, and of course, my cousin was looking at me like I had gone crazy. I did look kinda funny, I guess, creeping behind pigeons. :P

Singapore - Part 11

Guess what?!? Ironman and Cousin 3 jumped over a river of fiery lava! And Tiger Lily almost got shot out of a cannon, but smiled the whole time! Cinderella sat on the moon while Dare Devil jumped out of a picture! And Toblerone and I sprouted lovely white wings and Dad got trapped in a snow globe.

I even have a few pictures of it....

Okay, okay, it didn't actually happen. :) You probably already knew that, didn't you? But don't the pictures look cool? I didn't photoshop or anything like that. 

The place to go is the TRICK EYE MUSEUM. It's a really cool place that gives unique backgrounds to make it look as if you were actually there or doing something. Here are some more pictures that were taken. 

I turned this photo upside down to give it the right effect.

These guys didn't quite get it. :)

Spiderman and Cousin 3 pulling Ironman out of
a fish.

Skydiving!

Climbing with the panda bears

This fish smells bad!

Captured by the GIANT baby!

The Ames Room. Cousin 3 and Ironman are the same size by the way.

Hi Toblerone!

Don't fall in!

Don't look down!!!

Toblerone?

My legs don't match my waist :(

Cannon Ball!!

Hmm...

Great balance!

Cannon Ball #2

What am I doing again?

Mommy, this is sc-scary!!

Ironman tried to look like he was going to fall in. . .

but he leaned too far in. . .

and actually did fall into the lava river!

Cinderella sittin' on the moon

What a good host!

Hey, I grew a tail! :)

The Little Match Girl and the Little Match Boy

Nice wings, Dad!

I like these wings

Pull! Don't let go!

Why does that person look so familiar?

Why do all those people look so familiar? :)

And Cousin 2 doing a back flip in the museum. 

And Cinderella falling out of the picture.

And Dare Devil daring to jump off the wall!
