Boat Asia 2007

It's amazing what 'freebies' can do to a Singaporean like me, especially when it means getting 4 free tickets to the recent Boat Asia show at Sentosa Cove from 19 Apr ~ 22 Apr. Symphony 92.4 FM was giving away their car decal, and part of the promotion that came along with it was free tickets to this annual Boat Asia event. I was 'kia-su' and charged all the way down to Dempsey Road carpark to get the car decal at 7am in the morning, and it seemed like I was the first to arrive, as there was no one else before me when I arrived around 6.58am.....

The trip was worth it. We went to Sentosa today, and as we arrived early (the event only starts from 11am), we popped by the Palawan beach area, and spent an unexpected 1hr+ at the playground and the beach. It is amazing what a toy spade, a log of wood, and lots of sand, can do for 2 bored boys. When they were done playing at the playground (which was pretty uninteresting when there are only 2 of you), Ethan & Zack started playing with sand. They worked on it for nearly at hour, playing creatively with anything they could get their hands on. They got really dirty, but it was worth it as I could see that they were enjoying themselves despite the hot weather.

Boat Asia this year attracted more exhibitors and boats. This year, the One degree 15 Marina Club was just open, and the boats were berthed at the club, and it was really cool! The boys were really excited that we could go on board some of the boats there. The first one we went on board was the Riveria Sports Cruiser collection. Being on board one of these really makes you salivate! The cabins, the deck, etc were so well-furnished.

Well, enough said. Go check out some photos we took at the event at my Flickr site.
