YX was getting excited about SEA Games after her childcare arranged for them to attend one of the tennis matches (held at Kallang Tennis Centre) on Tue, 9 June 2015.
Thus I searched around and decided to bring her (& my nieces/nephews) to the Singapore Sports Hub today when there were non-ticketed events (Athletics) going on.
We boarded a direct bus from home (196) and alighted at the People's Association bus stop along Nicoll Highway before walking towards the #SeaGamesCarnival.
It was pretty sunny whilst we roamed around the carnival areas. As usual, it took quite a while (and many, many prods) to get YX interested and brave enough to attempt some of the simple games at the carnival.
She enjoyed the 'Pool Soccer' and 'Hockey Golf' games best. While we were waiting for the older children to queue and complete their games, I half-cajoled, half-dragged her to the other end of the carnival to look at the "Rocky Mountain", Art & Craft, and "Giant Slide" games. She managed to obtain 5 stamps on her carnival card to happily receive her redemption items and a lucky draw chance.
It was then time for lunch before we explored the rest of the public areas. The sports hub library was quite crowded with carnival-goers, mainly families and students. The projector screen was showing the Men's water polo match and so we sat down and relaxed to watch while the heavens opened and poured rain for a while.
The hubby and eldest niece went shopping for SEA Games T-shirts, and we watched a skipping-rope competition before we decided to leave. Hubby had to go home pick the car and I was to bring the children back to my parents' place, where we have our weekly dinner gathering.
On the way back to the bus stop, we passed by the National Stadium again and decided to spend some time watching the ongoing Athletics. YX was clearly excited from the experience, this being her first time in an actual sports stadium, watching live sports events.
