Pinky Street Study Tour to Istana on Labour Day Holiday

I went to Istana (Singapore's Presidential Palace) on Labour Day holiday (1 May 2008), and took 5 pinkies in school uniform with me.

Here is the story of the trip.

After passing the security check which involve them entering the scanning machine, the join the crowd.

The weather was fine and the sky was filled with many interesting clouds.
Yoshiko was looking up admiring the nice clouds and got left behind


Yoshiko: #snap! Yoshiko power! and she ran to the front of the group, leaving Moe behind.


The girls walked under the path which is covered by the canopy of large trees.

Pucchi: Nice shade yeah, we like walking under the tree shade.


And they posed in front of the artilery piece at the center of the garden in front of the palace.


Moe was found wandering around herself in front of the palace. She seemed to be attracted by those children paying at the fountain.


Evil (with glasses): Nice flower, lets take photo here.


Sacchin: Kyaaaa! Here Pucchi, take photo with me!


And the girls took a group photo in front of Istana

They went inside the place but unfortunately photography is now allowed inside.
Finally after admiring the expensive gifts the head of states give to each other, the girls came out, back to the garden.

Sacchin: Kyaaaa! See, flower on top of my head matching my hair colour.


They climbed a tembusu tree and took photo, but unfortunately since it was dangerous, only maximum 3 pinkies are allowed at a time on the branch.


Yoshiko: I hear birds chirping, where are they, where?!?


Yoshiko: Guys! Lets take picture at the gate. But only Sacchin and Pucci went up. The rest are too tired already.


Yoshiko also want to take photo at the main gate, at the presidential emblem but the police stopped her as ask what is she. She was totally offended, and was about to give the guard telling her off a lecture about the importance of love, freedom and harmless fun, but promptly stopped by the other 4 girls.

They went home tired and slightly disappointed not being able to take picture with the presidential emblem but overall it was a good outings.
