A great day for the outdoors

Beautiful day, clear skies….what is best way to spend the morning?

Outdoors, at the park with friends of course!

In the late afternoon, as the family was feeling a little rather adventurous, we took a walk in Dairy Farm Nature Park and went to explore Grand-dad's latest discovery from the park.

We ventured a little off the beaten track and took a short hike through overgrown grass and shrubs to the place where Grand-dad wanted us to see…

finally we trekked our way to a bridge over-looking these tracks.

While waiting for the train to pass, K kept himself busy,

And he was not the only one who was kept occupied while waiting …

K probably had more fun throwing rocks towards the train tracks, rather than anticipating for the train to pass.

Apart from this train discovery from the park, we have also discovered that K quite likes the challenge of seeing how far he can throw the rocks.

Finally, we got to see what we were originally here for…the train!

Which passed too quickly and was not that exciting, at least we got to see what we came here for that evening.

And K surely did not mind the wait one bit!

Pho in Chinatown?

A week of being stuck at home has left me with plenty of cravings, so I made dh and the little one come along with me in search of Vietnamnese Pho.

K wasn't in his best of moods today so I could hardly get a grin from him for the photos.

cnt2

Since we rarely spend time around this part of Singapore, I brought my cam along to snap some pictures of Chinatown.

There are so many sights and colours that is hard to capture with a moody little boy and a hungry dh in tow. So my next visit with the cam to Chinatown has to be sans the little boy and the man.

When we finally got our Pho, it turned out to be a great disappointment. So unsatifying until I did not bother to capture any shots of it. So I have learnt that one should never go to Chinatown and try any other cuisine other than Chinese food.

And the boy was in his best, "I don't want to eat anything" mood. I suppose the Pho was really no good according to his gourmet tastebuds.

So my search for good Pho continues…

Annual Christmas do

The Christmas season will not be complete without a get-together with friends. This is the second year that I have my friends over my place, and this year, I decided to make my own Christmas presents. box3In an attempt to make more cupcakes from the first recipe, I added less batter in some of the cupcake liners and ended up with 3/4 size of a cupcake. The result was less than satisfactory, however it was still rather satisfying to roll the coloured fondant and decorating the cupcakes with it.

As for the menu for the evening : Bulgogi beef, kimchi and Shabu shabu beef with lots of mushrooms. Little preparation that I had to do before hand; thanks to dad who shared his recipe with me (he is always excellent at sniffing out ways to create easy and tasty creations). We were so stuffed trying to finish the food that I ended up not bringing out the brownie and fruits that Linda brought for dessert.

Some shots taken:

K really appreciated having Alex’s company. He stroked and pinched her cheek (quite gently I think, since Alex did not complain) a couple of times, and I was pleasantly surprised that he had little qualms in sharing his toys.box1

Kris and Andrew were being entertained by the kiddos, while Linda joined in and played with them. box4K requested for his good old refrigerator cardboard house to set up. There were lots of excited squeals and laughter from Alex and K towards the end of the evening. box5
