There are some who say the caged bird sings of freedom, or hope, a prayer for other birds, out of boredom or because she has an annoying song stuck in her head. Last weekend we decided to find out for ourselves and headed out to Tiong Bahru to see the Bird Arena. This is where a whole lot of uncles bring their caged birds in their ornate cages to have a little sing together on a Sunday morning. We are still not sure why they sing - Alice thinks its because they are happy and Felicity thinks its because they want to get a boyfriend. But for whatever reason the caged bird sings, at least here in Singapore, they have a support group of other caged birds.
Also on the weekend we discovered a really cool public waterpark at Jurong East that's almost as good as Wild Wild Wet and a heck of a lot cheaper. We can see we'll be heading back there again but only when Felicity is definitely 120cm. We managed to get her on the waterslides this time but more diligent pool supervisors may not have let her slide past the height chart for being ever-so-slightly on the short side of 120cm.
