Horse Riding at Punggol

-

 On 4th October 2014, we headed to Punggol End to view the Punggol Pier! It's really an exciting journey there because we just want a place to see nature, sea and people fishing! We took Circle Line from Bishan to Serangoon, and changed to the North-East Line to Punggol Terminal. And we took bus 84. After 6 stops, we are there at the Punggol End!

 We didn't go to the Punggol Pier. Instead, we decided to take a look at the Gallop Stable @ Punggol Ranch.


We were at the waiting area for pony ride!


Look at this stairs! It's the place where we mount onto the pony or horse.


Yes! The horse stable! Beautiful right? The horse is licking something. Not sure what is it.
 
Guess what are they? They are chalets!! I was so shocked that people checked into these chalets. Cool right?
 
Look at this cute pony!
 
We decided to take a try on the horse ride! We paid $10 for a round trip, and it's really quite an exciting experience!! I decided to try because Eve wore a dress. 
 
 
I'm mounting onto the horse! He's really patient!


Oh. The horse trainer is guiding me that I should sit upright, and follow the movement of the horse when I am sitting. If I'm feeling comfortable, the horse will also find it comfortable.
 
 
Eve and Josh followed me during this path ride, and apparently this horse kept looking at Josh. And according to the trainer, probably the horse loves children. It didn't manage to take children as the customers because of it's size, usually adults. Children will choose ponies instead. So true!
 
 


Kate decided to try on the pony ride after looking at how fun my ride was!


Kate's epic look! She's so brave!


She confidently mount onto the pony, and they are adjusting the length of the saddle for her.


She wanted me to follow her throughout the pony ride. Look at this pony's teeth. It kept grinding throughout the ride.


Kate kept insisting me to follow her closely! She refused to smile a single bit!
 Overall, it's really amazing to find a horse ranch at Punggol! And apparently quite a few parents bring their children for horse riding courses! We managed to talk to a couple and they let her 3 year old son attend the horse riding course since he was 2 and a half! Now he is entering his 12th lesson! Totally amazing. Horses are really smart animals. One need to have the patience to groom them and takes time to have relationship with them, vice versa.

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.

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
