Ambition

What is your childhood ambition?

 

What do you hope your children will be?

 

Came across the news of Navy Open house on the radio on day which is happening the following week at Vivo city. Feeling very excited, went back to google for new information and was really disappointed that the balloting of tickets were over and that goes our opportunity to get on board the RSS Intrepid. Determined to try my best to get hold of 3 tickets, I posted on FB hoping that my friends might be able to help but as the days passed, no hope! Until one day, a Jul mummy asked about it and offer to check with the hub if he might be able to get hold of some tickets for us. I am more than elated when we got ourselves the tickets and at a good day and timeslot!

Zethan was equally if not more excited than I am after telling him about the visit soon. He asked about it various times everyday without fail. The day came and he asked every minute or so "when are we going up the ship" over early dinner, when we are shopping to pass time, when we are in the queue for the photoshoot.

Finally we got on board and went to tour around the ship. Even though he is a little too young to understand what is what on the ship, the excitement did not fade off. We took photos, he requested to take photo and we had a great time despite getting ourselves stucked in the ship for close to 30 minutes due to a bottleneck issue which is all very stuffy and crowded. Zethan spoke about it for a few days and even got the chance to show his classmates the photo in school.

 

We had planned to bring him for the larger open house on 19 May at Changi Naval Base and I even marked my calendar lest it slipped my mind. Unfortunatelt we are likely to give it a miss as we might be going away for a short break the weekend =(

 

Nope I am not trying to influence him into any probable career choice nor early exposure to steer him towards what I hope he will be. Seeing the look on his face, priceless!
