Bird park

Bird park ... the place where one visits in primary school and todate it hasn't changed! The breeds are just as scarce and the shows remain the same..same tricks same flight same breed. Brings back lots of childhood memories as we march through the park with the kids! Glad it's kinda unchanged as we could still dream about the times when we were children!

We visited the aviary which seems more crowded than i remembered. More parrots gathered at the boardwalk and waits upon  tourists who want that special moment where they see them in action ...attacking the feeds....up close and personal! 

Brave little Nathan was not afraid of the parrots and held on to the feeding cup happily... not knowing that soon the flock will all land on his stroller and that's when he struggled to resist but was trapped! The harness held him down, but brave little boy used his legs and attempted to kick the birds away! Mummy though scared and was far away with the camera had to come  to his rescue. One swift motion and he's free! opps in coming!!.. the naughty bird decided to attack mummy instead and landed atop my head!! What was it thinking!! It sent me in a crazy woman fenzy trying to scream it away!! scary!!! You could still feel their claws on the top of your skull!!!
Flamingoes!! Ahh the highlight of today'S visit!Natalie Brought her miniature version can you see It in her hand?
I didnt know penguin could grow as tall as 1.32m and weigh 42kg!! You see them next to whales and seals and hmm .. they look really small against the ice berg floor in documentaries! Natalie had a great time feeding the south african temperate breed! Apparently they have expensive taste..shisamo for breakfast lunch and dinner!!

N2 concert

We've attended an amazing performance put up by Natalie's school at kallang theatre! All the performances were beautifully choreographed by the teachers and I couldn't believe that this was possible at her age group! Everyone performed so professionally and together with the costumes it truly brought out the hip hop flavor in the dance. We were so impressed by the children! Natalie and her classmates did a wonderful job!!!

Raining shoes

Posted this photo on Facebook and I was surprised by the level of interest a mere photo could gather. Well never have I received an instant comment from readers and subsequent remarks from an  ex colleague who is enjoying her retirement.

Well we never really counted the number of shoes which we've bought for the kids and guess what when I finally laid them all out there were so many pairs that Could be worn for a month without having to repeat it.

The kids are so blessed with parents who kept thinking that their growth rate is faster than they could keep up!

Corn lover

Nathan loves eating corn and whenever we have our lunch at mac's I will end up buying a cup of corn for him. Wonder if they added preservative and sugar to enhance the taste. Corn cup at mac's just seemed so perfect. Never have I tasted a bland cup of corn. Well at least it's better than indulging in ice cream which tends to induce phlegm.
