We were gathered atop the bed. The two were toying with their cellphones. Nissa was looking for sites and hotel, Obet was updating the apps for his phone.
Nissa said, “I wonder if it is better to go to Hongkong’s Disneyland or to Malaysia’s Legoland on Nate’s birthday”.
I told her, “why don’t you ask your cousin who lives in Singapore”?
“It gives me an idea”, she said.
Eventually, she asked Nate what he prefers, Legoland or Disneyland. he readily answered he likes to go to Legoland. He is fond of Lego toys. He has several sets of them given as gifts. If they book a trip to Singapore, Malaysia’s Legoland is just an hour away and the fare is reasonable. I am pretty sure, Nate would enjoy the latter considering there are lots of amenities too where both adults and kids can enjoy.
Nissa is seriously planning a foreign trip for Nate’s 7th birthday for November instead of giving a party. He is at that age where he remembers what he did in all the places they’ve been to lately. I guess, he has reached more places in his first six years than I have in the last ten years.
“I’am gonna have a blog”, he seriously said.
I laughed and asked him, “you mean a vlog?”
“The videos Nonna”. Nissa has lots of stored videos in her lovely phone. I told him they need a vlogging camera to take more. He just smiled at me and said, “okay”, as if that is already a given. Kids sometimes take everything for granted, haha 🙂
He will experience even more than we ever dreamed of

Kids are definitely luckier compared to us here when we were growing up.

I can certainly recommend Singapore, Arlene. I went there in 2002, and loved it. I could live there. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

My niece says Singapore is so clean but has a very high standard of living. Nissa is thinking about it.

One of the best places I have visited, Arlene. Easy to get around, and felt very safe too. 🙂

The people just like in Japan are disciplined unlike here in the Philippines.

Legoland would be less overwhelming I think and better for his age.

Nate will love Legoland! I took our boys to the one in Southern California and they loved every minute of it! They were teenagers at the time. That should be a fun time for him!

I really hope he could fulfill his dream of seeing Legoland on his 7th birthday. It would be an unforgettable gift for him if ever. Thanks Sabine!
