Deepavali, so off we go to the Istana which Kate has never visited before!

In front of the main gate. We reach there around 10am+ and there was no queue.  Note that each of us have our own camera...ahehhhee



The weather is quite warm though which shows (notice that there are quite a few grumpy Kate shots)


Running up to the central/center gate


Parrot show courtesy of Bird Park.  You have to donate a minimum sum (for charity) to take pictures with the birds.


This shot is taken by Kate using her ericsson.  Not bad....


The Japanese 'garden'


Kate's shot of the water plant just below the water which cannot be seen in the above picture.




Kate's favorite part of the Istana - the temporary playground.


A baby size see saw (guess who is 'thick-skinnedly' see-sawing with her!)



swing.... mommy does not understand why so many neighbourhood playgrounds do not have swings.


Kate called this the 'baby slide'.


Ahhhh.... mommy's favorite part of the Istana.  The big tree which can be climbed upon. :) Mommy climbed the same tree decades ago...ahhahaha


Main building


The fountain


Look at the city skyline behind...


Kate got excited when she saw this toddler height traffic light.


She took a picture of each traffic light (there are two, each facing the opposite direction, as can be seen in this picture)




Taking a picture of the guard at the main gate.  There is another guard at the other side of the gate but he has not have a rifle.


Kate's eye view.  Mommy wondered what will happen if Kate gave him a kiss but decided not to try it since, after all, he has a rifle.


Imelda Kate trying out shoes at Bugis Village some time later after we went to the temple...


Later that evening, mommy took out a package of Nutri-tea, and poured out half, and want Kate to share the remaining half of the packet with Papa.  But one sip of the tea and she got possessive, insisting on finishing the whole pack and did not share with papa.  She even pose for the camera with the drink.


Next day, kate went for a swim with her new water gun which she enjoyed very much.! :)
