I made his day, with the help of someone above who made sure that it rained intermittently and with logistics support from indulgent family members (my mum and sister) and domestic helper in tow - who walked through mud, braved the crowd, carried umbrellas, stroller, camera and a sleeping Sweet Potato (who as usual slept through most part of the adventure).
To be sure, this is a day which goes down in history as THE DAY for each of us as we make our first visit to a RSAF Open House. Ah, but there has been many firsts - like the first visit we made to SAM (Singapore Art Museum) by the same people except that I carried Sweet Potato in my womb then. It is fascinating how having a child made such enormous differences in our lives and made us do things which we (certainly the case for my mum and my domestic helper) may not get to do, want to do or even think of doing.
Just for the records, there was an amazing array of display of fighter jets, F16s, Apaches, Chinooks, armoured tanks, helicopters and of course endless queues of adults and children waiting to get into each.

CY looks so happy and proud to be there with all the airplanes etc! He must have been thrilled and I totally agree with you about going places and revisiting our childhood! :) That's part of the fun and adventure of being a parent I guess!
A journey of re-discovery of self and the world around us - talking to strangers we would usually just walk past without acknowledging, finding patience within us which we knew not existed, saving the yummiest food on the plate in case another little being changes his mind, enjoying the beauty/peace of a sleeping baby/child ... the joys of parenthood!
