Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, Pond Gardens

The new Bishan - Ang Mo Kio Park has a new look and features after the reconstruction. There are also additional water and adventure playgrounds for young children.

However do not expect fanciful water features as the water playground is more of flowing streams of water for the children to have fun with water and appreciate its qualities and value.

Nee enjoys splashing the water around though.

 

We brought some food and a mat for picnic. We don't see many having picnic at the park, not sure if it's not a common thing there afterall. Anyway who cares, as long as the kids had fun with bubbles, scooter, ball and frisbee!

Reyes' in the hospital again

Reyes' post:

This is my 2nd hospital stay and it's for pneumonia this time. Mummy is guessing it's probably cos of the bad haze 2 weeks ago. I had a persistent cough which escalate to lungs infection coupled with fever and ended up in pneumonia.

I had 6 cycles of ventolin puffs at the A&E but my airway was still tight and with heavy breathing thus the adminssion. The time round Mummy didn't stay with me, Daddy did. Mummy had to go home to look after Nee and express milk. Daddy said I'm already a big gal so I need to be sensible.

Some of Mummy's friends visited me during my stay and brought me lots of stuff. We appreciate their kind thoughts. Nainai and Dua Pek came too. Though I didn't have to go school, could watch TV the whole day and there were lots of toys/ballooons for me, I still wish I was back home. I miss Reyden and Nee Nee.


I went home with a lung function test booked in Sep. PD had wanted to check if this is just a one time thing and nothing to do with my lungs. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

Garden By The Bay

Yeah! We are finally here. We've heard raves about Garden By The Bay featuring exotic diversity of plants from all over the world and the few attractions within the garden.

We went for the Cloud Forest and Supertree Grove this round. Mummy said we'll come back and visit the others another day.

The Cloud Forest is cool, literally. The cool-moist conservatory's temperature is between 23-25 degree celsius. It holds a 35-metre tall mountain covered in lush vegetation shrouding the world’s tallest indoor waterfall showcases plant life from tropical highlands in it. We all love the cool conservatory.

The Supertree Grove though not as "cool", it's quite an interesting attraction too. We took a stroll along the OCBC Skyway, a 128-metre long walkway with a height of 22-metres that connects two Supertrees at the Supertree Grove, taking in different views of the Garden.

We must say this Garden changes Daddy and Mummy's views about a garden. Thumbs up for it!

Mummy trimmed my hair for the 1st time!

Mummy trimmed my hair for the 1st. Well, it's not exactly the 1st time cos she had trimmed abit of my fringe some time back. However it's the whole head this time. Do I look cute?

Desaru Trip (23rd - 25th May)

Yeah, it's another getaway trip! We had a route trip to Desaru, stayed at Lotus Desaru for this short holiday. The resort isn't quite fantastic as it's pretty rundown and old. However we love it for the waterpark. There's a long slide available at the waterpark which is the joy of every kid ( or even adult)!

Other than swimming and waterplay, there's also a spa operating at the resort. There are also some fruits, fireflies, ostrich tours available out of the resort. We chose to go for the fireflies tour which is something interesting for the kids. We took a boat ride out in the dark and witness those blinking lights (fireflies) at the swamp areas.

As for meals, there are eateries within the resorts and also a village (about 30 mins drive) with abundance of seafood restaurants. We settled for Straits View Seafood restaurant which food is not really good. Perhaps you would like to try some others when you are there.

Nee's 1st visit to the zoo

Nee finally made it to the zoo for the 1st time! We've been planning to bring her for quite some time but the outing just didnt take place.

Just like us, she enjoyëd the walk and "animal-viewing" though she didn't really understand what those moving creatures are all about. And of cos the best place to her is the water play area. Mummy didn't take much pixs of the animals as they didn't change alot from the last few times we were there.

We are looking forward to visit Kaikai & Jiajia's home next.

Something for fun. We took this on our 1st visit to the zoo so Mummy said it's a must for Nee too. Deja Vu!

More time for us!!

Mummy is gonna make a huge change to her (work) life. She had decided to go for a part time job, for more time and flexibility. Ever since the arrival of Nee, she had felt that she has too little time on hand. The 2-3 hours after work is simply too short to be distributed among the 3 of us. Bring us down to play, revise our school work, play with Nee, do simple teaching with Nee, grocery shopping and etc ...

As we are going into Pri 1 soon, she decided she needs to do something about this. And coincidentally, Aunty Michelle has a job recommendation which allows Mummy to work half a day. Though it's half day pm, but she thought it's good enough. She can spend time with Nee in the morning, do her grocery shopping and spend the evenings going thru school work or bring us down for play.

Though she's going to miss her current job, colleagues and bosses lots but she will just have to bear with it and take the "risk" to move to the new place. Let's all pray for a good working environment, nice colleagues and caring bosses for her!
