My ride on the Singapore Flyer today still feels like a dream to me. Our winning of 7 tickets for the National Family Day Out on-line lucky draw won us tickets to the Flyer.
The draw was open to members of the public to win rides to The Singapore Flyer, DUCKtours, HiPPOtours and Rhinotours. And I had entered the lucky draw with bring my grandmom to the Flyers in mind but was not too hopeful for the draw.
Thus I was both surprised and thankful when i was informed by phone, last Saturday of my win. Time was not wasted to organize and contact everybody for the event.
As this was everybody's first time to the Flyer, i was thankful to God when everybody arrived seamlessly on time by 9am to our meeting point at the front entrance.Everybody was excited and cheered when i waved my collection of tickets from the ticketing booths.
Our worry of having Grandmom on wheelchair also diminished upon help extended from the earnest and helpful duty personnel who arranged for her safe boarding and alighting the Flyer's cabin capsule.
Breath-taking views and all in the bright morning cloudless skies, as Ric and i marveled at the smooth movement of the Flyer's mechanism and possible construction consideration.
Family Day Out event at the Flyer also include other fringe activities that take place all day long as a Family Carnival, but we didn't stay to partake of it. Were told by the staffs that the organizer is expecting 5,ooo family participants at the Flyer today!
We proceeded to Tiong Bahru Market for lunch before heading home sweet home. All anxieties and efforts to organize the family together for the day out was worthwhile, after all :)
