It's all in the wig!

"All I got was this crazy paper wig that looked like a chef's hat?"

We spent the afternoon at the National Museum, together with Evan and family, to immerse our girls in the legend behind Mozart, the prodigy. It started with a toddler workshop, whereby two super hyped up men entertained the kids with familiar song and dance, and finally introduced Mozart by wearing an uncombed wig, an oversized plush velvet coat, a frilly neck tie and some crazy dance moves to his music. Not sure if Mozart would have liked being portrayed that way but it sure got the kids into a tickle. After the workshop, Johan took over and accompanied Sera into the interactive Mozart exhibition, where the kids were exposed to the 19th century era in which Mozart lived.

After the museum, it was time to fill our tummies with food so we headed to the Japanese Food Bazaar, Sukodo, for dinner. Dinner was a 3 hour affair! But it was a leisurely one and the girls were also occupied at the indoor playground. Thanks Evan, Simon and Chloe for the good company!


Before the workshop, we were at the Murmurs Playground. That's Johan posing while Sera chooses her colour pencils
