We decided to try our luck in the Straits Times' 160th anniversary car hunt. This word treasure hunt required readers to cut out 35 "hidden" letters in the newspaper from 1 to 15 July and with the help of 28 revealed letters in the puzzle, the complete puzzle would point to the mystery location of the prize, a 2.4-litre Mazda 6 silver car. With the help from my colleagues yesterday, we had solved the puzzle "Where the sun rises by the sea, from seven to eleven, Roland eyes a perfect game" and figured that it was East Coast Park. As a Singaporean, you would know that there's a MacDonald's restaurant and a bowling alley next to it.

By the time we got to the expressway exit, the whole place was swamped with cars. We literally waited one hour to get from one side of ECP to the other side (of course, the flyover was also jammed). While waiting, Matthew "screamed" because he wanted to sleep and I have forgotten to bring his pacifier and bolster. I got to carry and pat him to sleep on my shoulder.. So we decided to abandon our mission and make our way to the little canteen near my office in Kallang for breakfast.

After breakfast, it was almost 11am. We decided to make our way to Yishun to fetch Matthew's grandmother to Mike's grandmother's place in AMK. We reached AMK after 1pm and Matthew decided that he did not want to sleep anymore... He played with Mike's grandfather. see the photo we took, the youngest with the oldest in the family and they interacted well and at one point, he wanted Ah Gong to carry him. Interesting exchange between the two. Three generations apart, one "common" language. Totally amazed.
