To keep it cultural - on Sunday we went to a theatre performance with the kids which was great fun. Together with Leenu and Ingrid. The play was in the old parliament which is a beautiful building from the colonial times. The chamber is just like it used to be, set up like the British parliament, so we sat in big leather armchairs facing each other with actors sort of in the middle. The chairs even had the names of the ministers of a former Singaporean government written on them. The play was by a group from Vancouver about trolls who were retelling and re-enacting some stories of HC Andersen. The trolls were huge and were wearing scary masks (Raoul probably had nightmares that night) but the play was very good - very interactive and involved the audience. One of the trolls while playing prince grabbed Beatrice and they danced around, Leenu was picked to be the "mechanical nightingale" with a costume and everything. The girls really enjoyed it and the boys had fun as well.

Then as if Saturday wasn't enough we went back to the Art museum so that Ingrid and Leenu could also see the Korean exhibition. The rest of the day was a play day for the girls at Leenu's. Boys had a good afternoon devoted to Lego and were incredibly well behaved for a very long time - proving the point of Ingrid's husband that 3 kids is easy-peasy!

On Monday we had another theatre performance with the boys in the morning. Went together with a neighbor - probably the part the boys enjoyed most - driving a big jeep. The play was nice but more for a bit younger kids, quite short, no text at all, lots of gadgets and lights. A bit like teletubby humor. 

All these theatre and museum visits gave me a bad cold that I have been fighting the whole week. On Tuesday the boys went to play at their Korean friends house and I went to yoga hoping that would help me with the cold but it only got worse. However we were so lucky as Yeo Yoo's mum treated us to a great Korean lunch and being as generous and kind as Korean friends always, packed for us doggy bags with bulgogi and chapche that Robert enjoyed so much the next day.
