Birdz watching @ Jurong Bird Park

Before the school holiday came to an end, we brought them to the Jurong Bird Park for some bird watching. Its been quite long since we brought them out since Joelle came along. As she is much older now and we feel it is much easier to bring her out for longer period instead of rushing her back home for nap. Usually she will nap when I carry her in the baby carrier when she is tired. In fact she love the carrier much more than the stroller.

The sky was a tad gloomy when we set out, and at one point of time I was worried that it would rain. But luckily the weather was quite good to us today, it was neither too hot or did it rain. Phew…

 
Of course we decided to feed our famished tummy before we set off for our exploring. I had the Nasi Byrani for my lunch, it was really not that fantastic but it did filled up my tummy. ^^
While we eat our food, Joelle nom on her tissue wrapper, at least it managed to keep her occupied for quite a while.
Her Outfit from BabyGap, love the bow detail on the back of the romper.
We are off to the bird watching!!!!

We started off wit the penguin enclosure which is also one of my boys favorite “birds” among the lot.

Photo bombed by Javier which was looking grouchy and refuse to take the picture with us, of course you can see that Joelle was deeply attracted by the dirt on the ground!



Its off to bird feeding. It took patient to wait for the birds to fly over to eat our food but the wait is totally worth it. While we were busy feeding the birds, Joelle was busy yawning away, feeling bored as she wasn’t able to participate in the bird feeding. This is the place which the boys have been looking forward to since we step into the bird park. Of course they couldn’t wait to dash inside and start their water fun. Well you would have thought that she enjoyed the water a lot! But in actual fact, she was scared of the cold water and kept clinging to me for dear life. ^^
They loved the water splashing down on them!!!One thing I noticed ever since they start learning swimming, they have overcome their fear of water. In the past, they hated water splashing onto their head… well not the mild type like the above but those gigantic pail of water type as you can see further down the post.
 
Yup, this is the one which I am referring to….Last time,  they will run far far away to hide from this but now they enjoyed it so much and would go for it over and over again.


We popped by the breeding place before we end our trip here. It was a great learning experience here, we now know more about the breeding process of the birds.
Lastly, to the penguins enclosure one last time before we bid farewell to the birds!!!!!

We had a great time today and we would be back again when Joelle is able to better appreciate the birds watching!!! ^^

Picnic @ Botanic Garden

We decided to change our initial plan to catch a movie to picnic at Botanic Garden when my brother’s sister rang us and tell us her plan. I love family gathering and feel it’s a great chance for bonding and for my kids to play with Bermes. Bermes is at the age now where he love playing with other kids, so of course he was super-ly happy to see the two big gorgor today.

Fitness & Science Trail at Greenwood Sanctuary Park

Little boy has been bugging us to bring him for running since he got his new running shoes. He simply cannot wait to try out his running shoe, claiming that when wearing this shoe to run, it will guarantee super fast speed.

Since my niece is here today, she is one good person to accompany him for the “super fast” run, since my niece can run very well! ^^

Disappointed visit to Crab Farm!

Actually this was our last destination after the Frog Farm, we though we could let the boys see some crab but there was really nothing to see here. (actually it all boil down to the fact that I did not do my planning properly, it was an ad-hoc decision to pop by there which I never put in my itinerary) It is not exactly a crab farm, but it do sell fresh crab for consuming if you are keen to get any.

But my boys sure knows how to keep themselves occupied! Big boy spotted these lalang and was pretty excited. 

Our Farm Trail (Part II - Jurong Frog Farm)

Our trial continue, btw, Jurong Frog Farm is just a short distance away from Hay Dairies, probably took us less than 5 minutes by driving.

At the Botanic Garden

This is just a simple post where I captured the fun moments of the boys playing with my nephew Bermes. He is coming to 3 years old in just a few weeks time. It seems just not long ago that he was just a small baby, and in a flash he is becoming a big boy and now can play so well with the 2 gorgor already! ^^

This is another side of Jayden which I seldom see when he is with Javier, he sure looks like a big brother taking care of his younger brother.

Exploring LEGOLAND Part I

We promised the boys we would bring them to LEGOLAND one of these day. And so we are here today… and not only that, one more thing that got the boys real excited…  they would be exploring LEGOLAND  togather with their good buddies. ^^ In order to beat the custom traffic jam, we decided to head off early. The boys were still feeling sleepy and heavy eyes when we dragged them out of their comfy beds.

Our first stop for today is breakfast at Old Town. Personally I really love the authentic food sold there. I ordered a Nasi Lemak for myself, the sambal sotong was real spicy but shiok.
