My firstborn went to the Philatelic Museum with the school during term time. However, he felt that he did not have the opportunity to try his hand at some of the installations and asked me if we could visit it during the holidays. And that was what we did last Friday.
After a hearty lunch at Funan Centre's food court, we headed down to the museum. I was pleasantly surprised that it was more than just about stamps. Part of the exhibition even had an Elvis theme. The children enjoyed pressing the buttons to play his famous songs. Plus, I was glad we had the place all to ourselves most of the time! Yay!
Singapore stamps with my children's faces!?!

It was really fun at the room with all the stamps showing sheep and goats, going along with the "Year of the goat" theme. We spent the most time there since the place had so many interesting things.

Since we were nearby, we visited the Central Fire Station too.

We had so much fun that the girls actually fell asleep at the MRT platform stone bench on our way back! Joram also refused to nap till we were on the train home, due to all the excitement of the day.
