MacRitchie Reservoir

-





 It’s truly blessed to be able to head down to a Reservoir with a wide selection of jogging trails! I am very thankful that I have the time to put on my jogging gear and head down to the MacRitchie Reservoir after sending Sara to school!


The jogging was initially tough, with all the undulating and uneven paths. However the more runs I did, the easier the jogging. The amazing thing is that my running timing improved everytime and now it’s 10km within an hour. 

I really feel good and refreshed after jogging and I hope it can inspire you to do too!


Today I even asked my eldest son to come along with me. Since it was still within 14 days from his first vaccine jab, he was unable to do strenuous activity. Hence it became a walk for both of us! Had great chat with him and also visited our war hero Lim Bo Seng tomb. He is a man who sticked to his morals, and had 7 children! He fought till the very end, endured so much tortures and very amazed how God protected his wife and children when they were escaping from Singapore to St John’s. 

I have even borrowed a book about Singapore Trees and there are so many types of trees in Singapore! I told him some of the common ones like the Lipstick tree, Raintree, Flame of the Forest, Frangipani Tree, Indian Rubber Tree, Pong pong tree, Fish tail tree, Trumpet tree and Saga Seed tree. I need to read up and spot more common types of trees so I can get them to be interested too! 


Nature has so much to provide for us - tranquility, fresh air, natural resources and wildlife! We need to protect them and bring the new generation to appreciate our nature. Yes, the weather may be warm, the journey may make you sweaty. It’s just the way it is!

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...
