I actually asked him where would he go if he had an aeroplane, and this was his exact answer “Ok if cars are expensive, how can I even have an aeroplane? But if i could have one, I’d fly to the arctic! I read that it is a very far away place and it’s on top of the world, so the aeroplane could fly me there!”

My children like to fly to dragon-shaped traditional sand-based playground @ Blk 28 Toa Payoh Lorong 6. They get to play with sands, climb up and down under the hot sun. There are two little plastic rides in the shapes of a seahorse and a pony for the children to sit on. So carefree !!! It was also our childhood memories favourite dragon playground too…
