$0.00 Transfer

With the change to take bus instead of walking to her childcare, things turn out to be better. Less walking = less hungry? = less grouchy pre-schooler = Happy mommy!

With the change of public transport via distance-based fare system, it actually cost us $0.00 for the 2 bus stops travel. Yeah!

5 more days to go.

An attempt
to take
pictures with
the children
... but ...
FAILED!

It's so difficult to get the attention of all the kids into 1 shot. :(

Kidzworld Zoo

Early lunch at KFC, the kids wanted to sit at the children area.  Bought pop-corn chicken for them.





Ready to get into the water.  Errr.. she was the most dry through-out actually.





































My uncle & aunty, relaxing under the tree.



The kids were excited about feeding the bunnies.







Brian's Reservist

Today is day 1 of Brian's reservist. It is also our first year with both of us staying at home instead of packing & move to my mom's place. Last year, Brian managed to defer his reservist due to my surgery.

A little out of control on time management this morning, getting Beatrice to wake up earlier than usual, drink her milk & change for school, taking the MRT from home & walking to her childcare. By the time we reached Serangoon station, she said she is hungry cos she has walked & stand, detour to get food for her.

Taking time off to fetch her before the centre close, having a whiny girl from school back home.. on the MRT.. "Mommy, I'm hungry!" I'm very hungry!! No strength to stand."......

Dragging a pre-schooler, listening to her many many excuses, cleaning my perspiration as I walked, feeling dirty by time I reached the office, getting her to eat her dinner, shower & lastly sleep...... Arrgh!!

Gonna have a better plan tomorrow. Taking bus instead of walking in the morning, packing more snack for her so hungry is not what I will hear or at least not a whiny girl with people starring at me in the train?

Wagons at the Zoo

Decided to rent the wagon for the kids. The kids enjoyed being pulled around but the adults were exhausted at the end of the day. However, still glad that with the wagons, they walked less = less tired = less quarrel??  The weather was great with minimum sun, except for the humidity.

Vivien stayed home with Raemus as he was having fever, Raenen joined us. The kids were keeping a distance away from this human tree at the entrance.







Couldn't get the attention of the kids for a nice shot.  This is the best among the more than 10.



Caelan holding tight to the sides of the wagon as we pulled.



I think they were asking for food.. can't remember. I was just busy snapping away.



Every kid wants a copy of the zoo directory.





With the help of wagon, we could walk from entrance to kidzworld and allowing the kids to see the animals along the way. Resting at the cheetah shade.

Had early lunch at kidzworld KFC, followed by water play and bunny feeding before proceeding further. (Will be posting kidzworld in next blog)

Waiting to watch splash safari.





My aunt taking a nap.



Decided to let the kids take turn to sit with different cousins.



Gabby wanted to sit with Beatrice.



Gabby, how about a nice photo in exchange for gummy sweets. :)
