Zhi & Thomas the Train

I supposed every kid has their favourite character at one time. Like when Ning was 2 years old, she was crazy about Hi-5. So much so we went for the show at the EXPO with her in 2007. Now she's into Disney Princess and to date, we've gone to two shows with her. Until the last show, WF said its enough "princesses" for him, he's not going to any more of these "princess" shows this year.

What about Zhi? Well, like a lot of boys, he loves anything that has got wheels: cars, trains, buses, trucks etc. Even books. He simply refused to read those animal or babies themed books which I had gotten for Ning when she was younger. And the cartoon character he can associate with wheels at the moment is Thomas & Friends.

During the March school holidays, we were crazy enough to drive for more than 30mins to Boon Lay to watch the Thomas & his Friends' performance at Jurong Point.

My my... My son is not the only kiddo crazy about Thomas. There were A LOT of other kids and crazy parents like us too!! We could'nt get a spot on the stage level so we were stuck to watching the TEN minutes performace from the 2nd level. Yes, drive 30mins to watch a 10mins performance. I must be out of my mind!

And for the 10mins, the only interactive character was the Fat Controller. Thomas was stuck to the floor and there wasn't any Percy nor James nor Toby. I am really out of my mind.



Nevertheless, Ning & Zhi were quite excited when they saw the Fat Controller and Thomas. This sort of make us feel the trip is worth the while after all.

I hope he sticks to Thomas for the next few years (kids of K1 & K2 are crazy about Ben 10 at the moment) because he's accumulated quite a lot of Thomas' toys at home.
