We brought Kendrick for a 1 day 1 night hotel stay at Swissotel The Stamford on New Year's Eve 2009. I guess we wanted to try something different and view the fireworks display from the comfort of our hotel room rather than squeezing with the crowd! So off we went to the hotel that afternoon. After checking in, as the weather looked quite good, we brought Kendrick for some kite flying at the Singapore Flyer area. It was a short but good experience of kite flying, since it's something we've not done in the longest time!
With a late afternoon nap, Kendrick was able to sustain all the way till around 12.30am that night before falling asleep. So he saw the fireworks and was all excited and happy while playing in the hotel room :) The next morning when he woke up, he actually remembered about the fireworks and told us that 'Just now saw fireworks'. Ha Ha. To him, yesterday or whatever that just passed is called 'just now' :P
Well, hope that this new year will a better year. It may be a trying year for us as Kendrick moves into the 'terrible twos' stage, but I'm sure it's also going to be many more fun times to remember as Kendrick progresses to string longer sentences together, say more things that makes lots of sense, and do a lot of actions which surprise us all the time! Hope that we will have enough patience and love and teach him accordingly!

Family shot in the hotel room
We went to the Singapore Flyer and next to it is some open space, which is actually the F1 track. That's where we flew our kite :)
Papa flying the kite. Good job!
Kendrick wants a go too as he tugs as Papa's pants
Kendrick gets a chance to fly the kite
Busy and happily walking all over the track by himself
At night before the countdown began, we took a shot in our hotel room balcony. Marina Bay view behind us
One of the nicer fireworks shot :)
