MacRitchie Walk

-


Nature walks in MacRitchie Reservoir have always been enjoyable for us! And we have managed to conquer the start of the running tracks into the forest! Yes! Without bringing a stroller! Good job, right? We travelled light, bringing a water bottle, extra children clothing, some fruits and jelly!
 
Eve with Gwen! Great Weather...

Kate with a mini bun! That will give her some energy boost for her MacRitchie Walk

These stumps are beautifully placed! Love it!

Kate suddenly wanted to rest awhile at a nearby bench!

We stood on the wooden stumps! Felt like those trophy stands..

We brought cut starfruits to quench our thirst, and home made jelly! Delicious!

We picnicked on the open area near the zig zag bridge of MacRitchie Reservior

Father and daughter selfie! Notice the legs between us, they belong to Eve! They sat at a shady place!

Gwen's so happy to be on the mat with sister Kate!

Happy picture! Look at the beautiful scenery! So lovely!

We went deeper into MacRitchie Reservoir and managed to touch the cool water!

Did some splashing! Kate asked if she can swim! I said we only swim in swimming pools!

Eve took a picture with Josh 4 years ago at the exact same spot! And 4 years now, we have 2 more children...

Love the grass and it's really therapeutic to be in this place!


I wanted Kate to jump! But she lifted up her shirt instead! Lol..

Come on... Pull up!


Gwen trying her strength on the pull up bar

We saw this huge tree and it's so beautiful! Buttress roots too!

Kate wanted me to hide her legs in the sand of the fitness corner.


We spotted this special dragonfly!

Look at the lush greeneries!
We met so many avid joggers and they motivated us to jog here one day! And to complete the 4km jog that we used to have in our school days!

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
