Checking out : RSAF Open House 2011 and its Rock-Climbing Wall
[Traveling light today. No DSLR. All photos in this post were taken with Canon Ixus 970IS, mostly by Vai]

Did you check out this year’s RSAF’s Open House?
[Just in case you’re not familiar with the term, RSAF stands for ‘Republic of Singapore Air Force’]
It was held last weekend (28 – 29 May), and so Daddy – who would never want to miss it – went with Anya and Vai, while Brie and I stayed at home (and enjoyed some ‘quiet’ rest time =)
[The kids brought along sunblock cream, hats, sunglasses, bottled iced water, etc. The three of them took the train to Eunos MRT Station and went to Paya Lebar Airbase via their free shuttle bus]
…
Daddy and Vai were both fascinated and excited with the jets and planes. Like most boys normally would, I guess.
Anya however found it exciting … for the first hour or so.
After that, she’s more interested in drawing and writing somewhere where there’s shade or better still, aircon!
[The weather WAS warm and obviously airshows and most displays were all out in the open]
[Shot was taken by Vai]
But.
There’s one challenge that apparently caught her attention.
The Rock-climbing wall.
When she saw it, she told Daddy that she wanted to have a go at it.
[This girl never failed to surprise us. Like how she wanted to try out Flying Fox alone at 3.5yo for the first time! Click HERE to watch the clip on Youtube!]
Anyway, here’re some shots (taken by Vai) of her doing her first ever rock-climbing.
She managed to go half-way up all by herself =)
Well done, I say.
Because to Wilson and I, the interest, initiatives and willingness to try something that she’s never done before is way more important (and need to be encouraged and nurtured continually) than the actual result when she first gave it a go.
Looking forward to next year’s RSAF Open House!
