Hort Park visit before the Haze

-
Well, before the haze, we went to Hort Park and it was Gardening Day! It was so fun and all of us managed to reach there at 9am, a feat because the children slept late the night before.





There are booths of exotic plants and they even gave out organic fertilizers! And there are fruit plants and I taught Josh some of them. We also spotted fig plants! They are so beautiful.





We brought Eve's mother and auntie along and it's certainly great mix of fun together with the children too. Weather was fine and the air was fresh. When I look at these pictures, I'm really amazed of how clean and clear our air was in Singapore! Something that we took granted of.





These creepy crawlers were all around the grounds of Hort Park, just like in Botanic Gardens. Josh and Kate just kept pointing while walking on the pathway. Josh kept wanting Kate to touch them, so funny can?




The plant architecture is beautiful and for this picture, Josh didn't want to take with us. But it's ok, it's nice right?





We managed to have some great photo shoots by my father-in-law's camera. There happened to have a professional shoot for a couple's pet rabbit, and we are so amazed by it! And they gave us these sunflowers! 




Hort Park really has well-maintained green fields and throwing the children up in the sky is just so freestyle. Love the landscape and the workers definitely have done a great job in maintaining the whole place.





Kate loves to be thrown up again and again. Luckily I'm able to balance well and catch them! Looks easy right? I was perspiring in the middle of this afternoon shoot! I love these pictures so much!




There is a pond whereby we can purchase fish food at the taxi stand area. It cost $1 per capsule but it brought priceless happiness to our children! I guess the fish are quite sick of the food, because some of them didn't want to eat them at all! Anyway, some gulped them hungrily! We bought two capsules and they didn't actually want to go home!





We took a couple picture and Eve said that the three sunflowers seem to represent the three children we have.





Well, love the air and the greens! And Hort Park is certainly a great place to hang out, but remember to bring some healthy snacks there as we managed to eat all the food we brought there. And also the water bottles were emptied too!

Cycling across Park Connector

-

Cycling has never been so exciting, and to see the children enjoying and exploring the new places, it's truly rewarding.  On Wednesday morning, our family with Josh's friend met to venture the Kallang Park Connector!  All geared up with scooters and bicycles!  We were thankful that the weather was fine and windy too!  Personally speaking,  I really love this bridge! The children were exhilarated when they reached it! Unblocked view 360 degrees!  Thanks to Kelly for the family photo. Initially, I intended to jog throughout the Park Connector. Instead, I rented the Ofo bike. I'm really thankful to find one at a nearby block.  We reached Potong Pasir, and it was well built with new bridges and greens. The Kallang River was clean, rubbish free!  We spotted many patches of plants mixed with lalang, cow grass, creeper plants and morning glory. We tried to find grasshoppers. Instead, we spotted butterflies, carpenter bees, Sting bug, water hens and their chicks, herons and egrets!

Wow! Our new born is one day old already! :) I'm really very thankful for all the 200 over congratulations and well wishes from FaceBook as well as the fruit baskets from fellow friends and colleagues!  Baby Hoe on 9th July 2013 Josh and Eve and Baby early morning before Josh goes to school Aren't they loving? Happy grandfather with the three grandchildren. I honestly find that when we grow old, the success-o-meter is being a grandparent. And being able to see your grandchildren! It's certainly priceless. Me and my three children. Kate followed me to squat! So funny. Picture of Eve before birth. She sat on the couch. Then, when contractions came, she will get up and I will support her. And she will go back again. This went on for 30 minutes! Baby Hoe on the heater machine The nurse measured and she is 51cm! Longer than Kate and Josh when born. Our gynae Dr Paul Tseng at 7.30am Me and Josh and Baby Hoe

Kids at Jacob Ballas (Botanic Gardens)

This afternoon, we packed our lunch and headed to Botanic Gardens, Jacob Ballas. It's a park filled with children and my children enjoyed so much at the pool area. It's Kate's first time playing at the pool and she loves water sprays! Can't wait for her to walk by herself and I can imagine her exploring water spray to water spray! Weather was great and I went to play with my children at the pool area! It's fun to be a child once again actually! I can still remember that time I brought Josh here and there were only expats, and not so crowded as it was a week day. Botanic Gardens has a wide array of plants. We managed to see ficus trees, giant water lily (which originated from Africa), banana trees and so much more! It will be great if I bring along a manual XLR camera with me next time. I'm quite amazed that there was a party area and people celebrated their one year old baby. They made it quite grand as they hired a host and there was children music and
