so in the morning, we decided to go past the Art Deco Swimming Pool from 1933 which was open as part of the Monument Open House day..
on our way there, we came across this children's playground..it must be some kind of device for child-like fun....but it looks like the synthetic floor's been pierced!
so we made it to the swimming pool; and yes, the skies are blue but the weather is now firmly in Autumn with 15-19 degree days, even with the sun out!
here are some balloons on the ceiling for the kids who visit..
and this is us on the part of the tour where we look at the basement levels where they have a 'hammam' styled bath - with spice and oil baths for patrons!
and this is a chimney which comes out of the complex..
we then made it over to an Indonesian restaurant where the National Day celebrations were being held...the Ambassador to the Benelux gave a tiny 4 minute speech, and basically everyone went into full swing with eating and talking and saying 'lah'
and here is Jos with half of her lunch [which consisted of a good version of rendang, gado gado, ayam lemak and mee goreng] outside because the place was packed !!
it was good to have met some Singaporeans overseas - and of course the makan was a good reason to be there too!!
