Realised that I have not been blogging about my outings and quite a few people have been looking up my blog for the Kids' Arts Village.
Sorry that I took sooooo long to put this up.
Here we go!
1st installment of the Festival Village:
After waiting for 3 days at 3 different locations, we finally got to board the Fun Vee Bus FREE! for the Festival Village's opening (13 - 15 May 2011).
Not that it was super popular (you can see that the seat are mostly empty), but because instructions on where and when to board the Fun Vee was not clear! plus there was not enough publicity about this free Fun Vee pick up to the village.
My parents think the bus company, as well as, the village organisers are not sincere about giving this free pick up service.
In fact, we were the only passengers, beside the arts fest volunteers (in pink), for most of the journey until a couple board the bus at the 2nd last stop.
Nonetheless, we're still thankful that we finally (yes, after 3 tries over 3 days) got to be ferried in the Fun Vee to the Festival Village @ Esplanade Park.
See my meimei enjoying the ride.
Festival Village, here we come!

you'll have a chance to sit on the FunVee for free too!

Quite a sight when we arrived at the Festival Village @ Esplanade Park.
Didn't expect it to be among the trees!
One of them is this CannonBall Tree (photo right).
You should stop in front of it and wait for the "cannon" to fire.
hmm... where to go next?

located within the Festival Village.

Children's Eco-Garden by Mayflower Primary School where plants and herbs are grown in plastic bottles and recyclable containers.

Super nice ambiance alfresco dining at The Tuckshop.
