Long Weekend Family Activity Ideas
If you’re in Singapore, we’ll have ANOTHER long weekend! *YAY*
[It’s Singapore’s General Election tomorrow, and I think most companies allow a day off on Monday. Well, at least I know for sure that it’s a ‘No-School Day’ for all school-going kids this coming Monday! =)
Anyway, I’m just wondering … what will YOU be doing this weekend?
Some – like us – may still be thinking of activity ideas for their families, and so I thought it’d be nice if we can get some ideas from you too!
Any plans for the long weekend? Ideas on places to visit, may be?
…
[No, I obviously didn’t sit on the ‘moving chairs’, but the kids, my Dad and Wilson did, and Anya loved Cineblast’s ‘Extreme Log Ride’ best! =)]
Anyway, just to share with you, … some two weekends ago, my parents were in town for a few days and we took them to Sentosa via the Boardwalk.
We checked out the 4D Magix show, Cineblast, Desperado and Songs of the Sea!
[‘Songs of the Sea’ – They now have an extra show at 9.40pm every Saturday!]
I shared more photos, how our trip was like, and what the attractions were like on my Facebook.

Hope you have a GREAT weekend, everyone!

Hi Lisa!
Thanks for sharing the idea!
It’s a new one for me, never thought of trying out something like this! =)
This is for the older kids, but I found a great way to spend a weekend, either you could do it at home or at their studio! Making macaroons or choc. truffles, cake decorating.,…
They’ve got a special now, though not for too long and you can get it through this site here:

Hi Serena,
Thanks for sharing! =)
we watched “Peter n Blue’s Forest Adventure”. something different from the usual stuff that the kids watched… very interesting with colourful characters…
Hi Malia! =)
Thanks for dropping a note 🙂
My parents’ visit to SG usually is quite short, so each day spent in Singapore is usually packed with activities hehe …
Anyway, hope you have a wonderful weekend!

2) Watch movies
3) Sentosa – Lake of Dreams or Crane Dance show (Free)
4) Lower Seletar reservoir (got some water play i think)
5) Jacob Ballas Children garden
6) Zoolympix event at the Singapore Zoo (May 23, 2011 – Jun 12, 2011)
