Boardwalk@Lower Pierce

4 friends @ Pierce

A hectic morning spent at AVCC with Raine and Meryl at their ballet class and moi at my fusionrobics. Immediately after, we took B's cars and went back to pick up the hubby and Kyle to Causuarina Rd for prata. This was where we went after lunch.

Pierce Reservoir. We wanted to take the boardwalk but could not find it. We ended up here instead. The kids loved it and ran freely.

They played at the waters, which was clear and shallow....it was only a matter of time before....

my son decided to do something.......

which he usually does after he gets bored with the ordinary stuff...

like throwing stones into the reservoir.....

and ending up in the water..shuns his pants.... and getting his backside wet....and then his sister following in his footstep....and then Raine too ........

Unfortunately for them, the water fun did not last..... it started to pour without warning (sky was still bright AND blue!) So into the shelter we ran. There Kyle entertained us with his version of Meryl's graduation song 'Little Sunny Walker' (or something like that) half naked!! (see video below)

The big squeeze at the back of B's MPV on route to our next destination; Giant@Tampines.

We had altogether 4 trolleys; 2 for carting the children and 2 for the groceries. By the end of the shopping, it was down to 1 trolley for children and 3 for food!! (only 1 belongs to me)

It was a full load....but we still managed to squeeze about $350 worth of groceries into the car!

It was indeed a FRUITFUL day!

HSBC Tree-top Walk

23/12/2007 Sun

As expected the kids woke up late; as did we. It was 9 when I woke, followed by Kyle. Meryl finally woke up at 9.30. We quickly changed as we wanted to give our lungs a treat; fresh air at Macritchie. We went to pick up granddad and tagu then set off for the tree-top trail. The walk was very easy and scenic but too muddy from the rain yesterday. We walked for about 1 half hrs before reaching the tree-top but it was well-worth it as the view was quite spectacular from the top. It was only on the way back that it took a strain on the kids, esp Meryl who had been walking non-stop which wasn't an easy feat on her tiny legs. Yet she did not complain unlike the brother who whined and whined about how far it is and when are we stopping and that he wants to eat roti prata.

We decided on the way back to sent the hubby as a forerunner to get the car and pick us up halfway. Kyle stubbornly went with him which slowed him down considerably and ended up getting a tongue lashing from both tagu and me. We rushed Granddad back and the kids had a short swim before eating their lunch.

We were back at granddad's place again for dinner but the swim was cancelled as it rained very heavily. Feasted on popiah, ba kut teh, braised duck and chng tng. The kids played to their hearts content as we stayed on till the match between Man U and Everton ended (2:1) at 10. Tonight is the 1st night that Meryl is sleeping on her own in our bedroom...so far so good..
