We caught the Mickey show last year at the ice skating rink. This year, it was at the Marina Bay Sands and it was a magic show!
The first item was the Mad Hatter and Alice. Well...we had not read Alice in Wonderland before, this reminded mama that I should go and borrow this book.
Mama found this segment of the magician slicing the ladies into halves most curious. I read before that they pushed the feet moulds out from the boxes and then curled up into halves. There was an added twist for this act, the ladies were dressed in different colours, then their lower bodies were swapped and they ended up with a different coloured bottom. Ha...
Dancing luminous broomsticks and floating minnie...
Tong loved Donald Duck the most. When Donald came out, he would shout, "Duck Duck!". When Donald left the stage, he would also shout, "Duck Duck!" Donald kept wanting to perform his act, when Mickey and Minnie sang songs to introduce the acts, Donald would go "Donald Duck...Donald Duck...Donald Duck"...it was comical. When it was finally his turn to perform in the human canon ball act, he backed out! Ha...mama and papa caught a glimpse of how they "deceived" the audience, the man was supposed to be grounded into a flat sheet in a machine, they pushed him in, with a sleight of hand, flipped open a board which showed a picture of an empty interior. As we were seated at a high level, papa and mama could see the clothes of the guy and the flipping of the board. ha. But the amazing thing was, later the same guy appeared from the other side of the stage...erm...the disappearing and reappearing acts were really baffling...how did they do it? Maybe there were twins!!!
There was a segment where the princesses would appear magically from the bed that was covered by a curtain...
The grand finale...
You could not bear to leave and wanted to come back again. We made a pact that we would watch it every year. After the show, you talked about magic pretty often. One night, we were playing in the playroom and papa tricked you that he could make blocks disappear and appear and change colours. You were astounded...it was hilarious to see the look of surprise of your face. ha.
After the show, we hung around at the atrium, they had some structures...all nicely done up for phototaking...
We had to pay some amount to take a photo with Santa Claus, nah, not interested...
There was a stage and children running amok on it. The funny thing was there was an annoyed ang moh security guard who had to shoo children off the round structure (at left corner of photo below) which contained the wiring and power plugs. ha..

| Batkid was in town to save the day. |
Went to Ten Mile's Paradise Inn for dinner. It was value for money and really delicious.
Grocery shopping time and time to head home. Well, it was always such fun to be exploring Singapore and attending events with papa when he was on leave. Often, you would ask me to tell you stories in the dark about Xun xun loved papa, xun xun and tong tong loved to play with mama...mama would list all the things we loved to do together, you never tire of hearing that...I would you never tire of hearing all those things...Love you to bits, little ones.
