I miss being a child.
Yeah man how do they have so much energy?
So much energy.
(PD) Hi guys!
- Hello - Hi
My name is Devika.
Hi my name is Marc.
And we've been together for 3 years.
Hello I'm Lynnette.
Hi I'm Andrew.
We've been together for 5 and a half years.
Yes and we are engaged, actually getting married end of next month.
(PD) How good are you guys with kids?
We are generally quite good but-
I think kids love me.
Much more than they love her anyway.
I think I'm pretty good with kids.
I usually just let her handle them.
But I think he's okay.
I've seen him interact with kids before
and he has his way with them.
(PD) So have you ever babysat a child alone?
Not for me.
Not for me also.
With my god daughter, I actually do take care of her
with my best friend.
But the thing is my own god daughter doesn't really like me.
I've got crazy eyes.
Yeah then they are scared of me maybe, I don't know.
I guess I have flown kites with like a 4 year old.
We were with his parents.
They abandoned me and left me alone with the kids.
We were flying a kite and this fellow kept
wrapping a string around his brother's neck.
So I don't know how good of a job I did.
Well the brother is still alive
so you did a pretty good job I must say.
(PD) So in today's episode of Singaporean's Try, you will be babysitting a kid
and bringing him/her out for playtime!
Oh no!
I am stressed.
I am confident.
(What if) in the end the kid doesn't like you.
I'm excited for the playtime.
I'm kinda nervous because I have to babysit 2 children.
(PD) So before you begin, you'll be meeting the child
that you will be babysitting today
with a half an hour ice breaker.
What's your name?
Tesla.
How old are you?
7.
Oh I'm Lynnette.
And I'm Andrew.
You have a very special name.
What's your name?
Fathia.
My name is Marc.
Oh.
This is Devika.
Yeah hello.
Hi Fathia, I like your hair.
- (Marc) Who did it for you? - (Fathia) I like your hair.
You like my hair?
Yeah.
It's nicer than mine.
What's your favourite food?
Ice milo.
Wow.
Can you guess our ages?
You (look) very young.
Huh?
Oh my god!
I like this kid already.
And how old do you think this uncle is?
65.
Nice.
Did she just say 65?
What do you like to do on weekends?
Probably just stay at home and just sleep.
Huh serious?
But we're not going to do that today.
We're going to do some exciting things.
We told you we are going to Superpark right.
But we will also be the ones taking care of you today.
It's just going to be (the) 3 of us.
So 2 of us (are going to) take care of you.
You think you will have fun?
Yes.
I think you will take care of us.
Shall we go?
Yeah!
Trampoline here we come!
So we are here at Superpark now.
Are you excited?
I am 1 million (times) excited!
(PD) You first mini challenge is the Super Hoop.
Basically you have to get as many basketballs into the hoop as much as possible.
Just over there.
Come on!
Okay let's go!
Okay Fathia are you ready?
Fathia, you want to press the button?
We press-
Here, come.
3, 2, 1, go!
One more!
Come I pass you the ball, you just shoot!
Well done I'm so proud of you!
Okay.
Okay pause Fathia.
Okay pause.
Ball down.
Okay go!
Keep going for the 200.
I give you the ball.
Come we try the 100 (points).
I got it!
Woah!
Hello!
I miss being a child.
Yeah man how do they have so much energy?
Okay Tesla, so today we are at Otah and Friends.
It's a family based escape room.
(PD) Okay so throughout this escape room, there's actually a twist.
(PD) So Andrew and Lynnette, you guys will play scissors, paper, stone.
(PD) And the loser will only be able to communicate using the word 'Otah'
throughout the escape room.
Oh my gosh.
Scissors, paper, stone.
Otah.
Yes!
"Hi! I'm Otah the Otter."
"You must be the new student"
"I'm about to build a rocket and launch it into space!"
"Blast off!"
Okay we are suppose to build a rocket right?
Yes.
Okay we are suppose to find how many parts?
Otah.
7.
Okay are we supposed to go in the room?
Yes!
Okay let's go!
Okay so what are we suppose to find?
Like the 7 parts
for the rocket right.
Yes.
Oh you found this?
Is this considered one part?
Otah.
What's the clue?
(Odd) one out on the shelf.
Okay.
Wait I found something.
Do you think it's this one?
Oh yes yes.
Yay!
Yes you found one!
I don't know where's the clue anyways.
Like where the part is.
Otah, otah.
Maybe this.
Otah.
Oh okay.
There's a password.
4 times 4 is 16.
So the first number is 4.
So 10 minus 4 is?
6.
Correct.
Oh!
You did it!
I anyhow turned it.
What's inside?
Otah.
That's the fifth one.
Otah.
So he is saying maybe we have to fix all the parts
then the door will open, right?
I think we need to find 2 more parts right?
You look under here.
You look over here.
Yay you found one more!
Okay we are left with one last-
Okay we have 3 minutes left.
Oh it's here hurry!
3, 2, 1, go.
Yay!
We must press the button.
I'm quite impressed with the whole set up.
Are you happy?
Yes!
Okay Fathia, we are at The Polliwogs.
Do you know what this place is?
I also don't know, but are you excited to find out?
Yep.
Producer, what's our challenge here?
(PD) Okay so Fathia you will be playing hide and seek with Devika and Marc.
(PD) You can hide anywhere around The Polliwogs
Devika and Marc, you have to find her.
(PD) Whoever finds her, you will get some down time to chill at the cafe
(PD) while the other person has to stay with Fathia to babysit her.
Okay.
(PD) Okay Fathia, when you are ready you can go and hide now.
Go!
Close our eyes.
(Sew) Oh my god! Fathia!
(Sew) Wait for me Fathia, wait for me!
I found her!
- (Marc) That was a very nice hiding spot. - (Devika) Okay good job.
Let's go!
Okay la looks like they're having fun.
I think Devika is the more fun person to play with anyway.
So I think everybody won here.
Actually this area, really quite shiok.
The parents can just chill here and watch their kids I guess.
Where is Fathia?
Ahhhh!
So now we are at Kiztopia.
Firstly, did you have fun at the start of the day?
Yes.
Yes? Are you excited for Kiztopia?
Very excited!
Okay let's go!
(PD) Okay guys, here's your first challenge.
Okay.
(PD) Both Andrew and Lynnette, you guys will have to pick an outfit for Tesla.
Okay.
(PD) Then he will have to pick his favourite one.
(PD) The loser will have 5 minutes to find the water dispenser to refill his bottle.
Wah okay.
Okay I'm done.
Okay!
Okay I chose this.
See because we built a rocket this morning.
Eh no this one is like a dress what.
You like dress what.
No!
My final choice is
This one!
Yeah!
Is this like astronaut or Bruce Lee sia?
Come we take a photo.
I guess the dispenser will be in the family room.
I guess it's quite convenient.
And they are quite thoughtful to provide slippers
for an easy way out to refill water also.
If not I have to wear my shoes and go one big round.
Okay all's good!
So apparently this is the biggest slide of this Kiztopia!
Mr Tesla, are you thirsty?
Yes.
Yes? You want water?
(PD) Okay so here's the next challenge.
(PD) We are going to the supermarket
(PD) I will give Andrew and Lynnette a list of groceries.
(PD) You guys have to memorise it within 30 seconds.
(PD) Then you have to instruct Tesla to grab the groceries.
Okay.
(PD) 3, 2, 1, go!
(PD) No Tesla, you cannot see!
Okay mushroom.
How many?
2 mushrooms.
1 lettuce.
Okay 2 fish.
2 cabbages.
2 cabbages!
1 broccoli.
Wait you are holding it!
Okay 5 apples.
The apple is here.
3 pineapples.
Okay 3.
Okay 2 watermelons.
Okay 10 tomatoes.
Huh?
Okay there are 6 here.
No way!
Okay 7 is fine, come.
(PD) Okay guys seeing that there's not everything in your cart
(PD) you guys failed this challenge.
*excuses*
Okay Fathia, did you have fun today?
Yup.
Glad to hear that.
Do you think we took good care of you?
Yeah.
Would you let us bring you out again?
Yup.
Without your mummy?
Yeah.
Anywhere you want me to go.
Looks like we made a new friend.
Yeah.
But now sadly, our day has come to an end.
And we're gonna have to say bye bye now.
Alright.
Are you sad?
Then why are you smiling?
We had a lot of fun too.
Yeah we did.
You were great.
Alright.
Bye Fathia.
Bye!
Bye bye!
Fathia has left the chat.
How babe, did you have fun?
I had fun.
But now I feel like there's a hole in my heart.
Aww.
So which part of the day did you enjoy the most?
The part where you refilled my water bottle.
Because you like (to see) me lose right?
So you want to spend more time with us?
Yes!
So we have come to the end of the day.
We are very happy that you had fun.
We also had fun.
Okay then now we have to send you back to your grandma.
Bye bye!
(PD) Welcome back guys, how was the experience?
I thought it was very fun but also quite tiring la.
I didn't expect the place to have so many facilities
and have so many stations and zones.
Tesla is a smart kid and very entertaining to be with to be honest.
When there was one part where we were moving to Kiztopia right
then we saw him again at Marina Square
then when he saw us coming up the escalator, he was hopping up and down
jumping up and down
being very excited that he is seeing us again.
And we're going to have fun together.
I think it was quite heart warming.
(PD) How were the activities you guys went to today?
I think both places were actually really good.
In terms of Superpark, I don't think of it as a kids place.
I think it's more of a family place.
For Polliwogs it was more of
okay let your children go play.
And then the parents can sit in a place where they can
still look around, make sure the kids are safe and everything.
And it's really nice because even that cafe space is so comfortable.
I'm thinking about bringing my friends and their kids also.
(PD) How was the challenge in finding the family friendly facilities?
Finding the water dispenser was really easy to be honest.
For a start, it was quite intuitive that I head to where the toilets are.
And then from there, once there was a family room
I already assumed that there was a water dispenser
and I was right.
And they also made it very convenient.
Kiztopia actually gave slippers at the exit.
So that you don't have to take your shoes from the entrance
and get over there.
Finding out these 2 places today,
and I'm sure there are many many more
just kept me assured that we won't have a boring time over the weekend.
(PD) Do you envisioned having kids? Did this experience change you mind?
Being able to spend some time with Fathia has given us a bit of a baby fever.
But we will still you know.
We hope we can have kids.
Yes let me answer the question.
We want to have children.
But only if and when everything aligns.
I think certain comments Lynnette made about Tesla being so smart
being so cute and so talented and occupied with so many things
and how it's his parents' nurturing and everything right
then it makes us want to fulfill that in our lives also.
Not really time bound, but eventually we will want to have kids.
