Past Week Events

1) Met-Up with Shikin

She is now on a 6-month no pay leave to take care of Ihsan. SO Lucky! I also want to be a tai-tai and enjoy time with my kids! I missed her so much. It has been 6 months since I saw her because she was coping terribly with work and school and had no time to spend with her girlfriends. Now she is so much happier! And pestering me to take leave from work to accompany her shopping and go for high tea.

My dear, I am not yet a tai-tai, ok? Hee..

2) Children's Park at the Zoo

Kyra's Hair

I have had many people coming up to me asking whether I dyed Kyra's hair!

Well, excuuuuusssee me, her hair colour is au naturel hokay! It is of a light brown colour.

See the difference between the colour of her curls and my hair?

Now I only worry if she starts school, will the teacher call me up because my daughter 'dyed' her hair?

Her hair texture is a mixture of mine and Hubby's. My natural hair is soft wavy (now its a mess) and Hubby has got hard stubborn curls (that's why he prefers to go GI), so the product of it has Kyra with very lovely soft curls, but only at the bottom. The top of her hair is straight, its as if she went for some spa perm!

So pretty, don't u think?

Friends of the Zoo

We recently signed up with the Singapore Zoological Gardens as members. For S$150/year, we get unlimited access to the zoo. You may think that the membership fee is quite high, but tickets to the zoo are not cheap. For adults, it is S$16.50 per ticket and for kids from 3 to 12, it costs S$8.50 per ticket. So for my family, we have to pay S$41.50 each time we visit the zoo as non-members. At the moment, Kyra goes in free-of-charge. Thus, if you think about it, after just 3 visits, we have already break even.

So it is definitely worth to sign up as Friends of the Zoo.

We used to frequent the zoo a lot when my daddy was still working there as a tram/train driver. We would get in free! To me, the zoo is like an open classroom. Kids learn better and gain more knowledge being outdoors and in such close proximity with the animals.

But since he quit to help take care of the kids, there are no more such privleages.

I kinda miss having him around at the zoo. Whenever we go there, we would get free food and free tram ride also :)

Cable Car Ride: Fear Factor for the Boys

My son and my hubby have the same fear, it seems. They are both scared of heights.

We went for a cable car ride last weekend. We set off from Mount Faber, stopped at Harbourfront to shop at Vivocity and returned back to Mount Faber via the Sentosa cable car line.

Kyle is feeling a little grumpy waiting for me to finish taking photos! Finally we are on board the cable car!

Just look at Hubby and Kyle's face on the 2 pictures below. So obviously scared, cannot even smile properly also! Both were holding on tightly to the sides, and throughout the ride, they were so quiet.

But look at myself and Kyra! Girl Power! Kyra was happily squealing and laughing.

The 'men'

Hahaha!

Splish Splash!

It has been months since I brought the kids out for swimming. I stopped due to the HMFD outbreak and Kyle's teachers were advising parents not to bring our kids to places where there is a high risk of infection, and the swimming pool is one of those places.

However recently, the situation is under control and there are no more new cases reported in the papers. So I decided to bring them to the WaterWorks Park at the Singapore Science Centre. It is not a swimming pool but a park where you can play with water. It's only for children and is quite fun, and most importantly, you do not have to really monitor your kids and there is no risk of drowning.

Here are the pixs:

I personally thought it was a great way to beat the heat! The weather nowadays is terrible!
