Zoo

-
Today we had an outing to Zoo. Initially we wanted to leave home at 11am, it turned out to be 1130am. All the additional packing.

We brought
- 2 umbrellas
- 2 water bottles
- 2 food containers with fish porridge
- extra set of clothes for Josh and Kate
- celery
- apples

The journey there is around 30-40 minutes and we enjoy the bus ride there because along the way, we get to see the greenery and the Seletar Reservoir.

Weather is very fine and this time we learnt more about pygmy hippo and the goats!

Pygmy hippos
-----------------
Their size is 10 times smaller compared to the Nile hippos. And people actually hunt them for their teeth! This is so cruel because they are amazing animals and humans just like to make them endangered.

Our zoo managed to breed 11 young pygmy hippos and the two we saw in the zoo are a couple. Their feeding time is 2.30pm daily and we saw so many fishes surrounding them. Amazing stuff..



When we went back, we passed by this Michelin tyres advertisement which resembles Kate. So we took pictures with it!

Kate's 2! A simple birthday celebration!

Kate turns 2 years old on 11th July 2013! And coincidentally, it's 2 day old for our new born too! We had to celebrate it at Mount Alvenia and it's certainly a fun celebration for Kate, and it's a simple affair too! We didn't manage to cook dinner and we ordered extra meals from the hospital. It's only $8 per set and they provide soup, vegetables and meat, fruits and juice! Really worth it. They only can provide a maximum of 3 meals! Josh ate all his rice and Kate loves the fish! Amazing. Of course, we didn't tell them that we are having birthday cake later. Or else, they will not be eating much of their dinner. Family feast! Love the pork vinegar dish! Oops! Pouring some of our home cooked soup that I prepared for lunch. Luckily we brought because we finished all the soups! Mother and son. Kate is such a loving sister. She pats her new born sister, as she was placed on the trolley which is used for the jaundice UV Machine. ...

Today, it's a fun day, well sort of. Got up and rushed straight to French Embassy for my first french lesson (beginner course). My teacher is Franck. He's a humorous teacher and overall, I find that french is an exquiste language, very special and interesting. I've learnt basic greetings for today. And time really passed very fast after learning. The classmates are of different background and age, and we are all having the same base of french (aka, having no knowledge at all) haa.. Yiwen and I actually wanna go to Orchard. However, we took the wrong side. We took 171 to Bukit Timah area instead! Then we U-turned. I went to Pointers to cut my hair. And it happened that the manager cut my hair. So lucky eh? Not many people would have the chance to actually cut by him, have to make appointment and pay $20. But because he is shorthanded, he came and help out... :@) Then, I rushed to meet Shaun to go to Camp to clear all our stuff. Lucky got him to help me drive fr...
