Among all, we went to the Singapore Philatelic Museum. I had total no idea initially what it this Philatelic Museum all about from just looking at the name until I went into their website. Actually, in layman term, we just call it "Museum for Stamps" hehe. There is an explaination of the word of "Philatelic" in my following photo, you may read it if you wish to horizon your words library.

Inside the Museum!

The story session had started when we arrived and the area was over-crowded that we only managed to stand from far. Uncle Cheong was so nice to carry Danzel up high to his shoulder to let him had the fair share to see the Puppets Show as well. You can see from the following photos on the area crowded with children and daddies and mummies...

The Kids Corner!!! Very Captivating Rainbow Color to the Children....Even the adult likes the room!! Danzel was distributed with Paper and Color Pencil by a beautiful Jie Jie once we stepped into the kids' Room and immediately he climbed up to the chair and start with his drawing business...haha

The difference Shapes,Sizes and Colors of all Post Box around the world!!

Personally, I like the corner of this room very much...The Letter Boxes are simply so cute but sadly said with the E-Technology nowadays, writing letter with Envelope, Stamp and Paper is getting lesser and lesser unless is formal business letters... who's want to wait for few days for a simple message to send over to the other party when you can just access to someone with a minute away by E-Technology that exist all around us.

Pole Dance Kid!

In fact, we wanted to go to the Singapore Peranakan Musuem after SPM but mummy, me got a very bad headache therefore to cater for me, we had to stop the activity of the day and Uncle Cheong and Linda gugu sent me home at once and they offered to help and look after Danzel for the rest of the evening when I can have a good sleep after my medicine. Thank you so much Uncle Cheong and Linda gugu... It was really one of the worst headache that I got so far....scareX
