We finally made it! For so long, we wanted to do it but never got down to it. Yesterday, we brought Matthew on his first MRT ride. We were actually on our way to West Coast Park. It was still early, so I suggested to Mike that we brought Matthew on his first MRT ride.


We parked the car at Clementi Ave 2, the car park nearest to Clementi MRT station and took a train to Dover, then to Buona Vista. Matthew was frightened to tears by the loud noise, but it was not the noise from the MRT train. It was some Harley Davidson motorcycle rider, who decided to ram his accelerator! Noise pollution! Never had a good impression of Harley riders.


Matthew enjoyed his ride. He was, as usual, curious about everything. Looked around, left, right, front, back, everywhere!!! Usually he would look at the camera when we took photos of him, but the train passing by was more captivating. He did the pole dance and the monkey loops!

We should bring him on such rides more often. The next time would be buses!

We then went to our regular open space - West Coast Park. We rocked him on the springy horse and let him "climb" the rope squares. Half way up, our little prince decided that he wanted to poo! Boy, it was a lot of poo! People were watching us, but then what was there to see. It was a baby who did not want to poo in his diapers. After we cleaned him up, we let him try on his new pull-up pants, Drypantz from Dryers. It was so easy to put it on him. At least, we did not need to struggle to put on his regular diapers.

We went to MacDonald's and gave him his porridge. He was a good boy. He sat in the baby seat and finished his dinner within 20 minutes. It was fun.
