We went to a birthday party this evening. Grandpa and Grandma went too. There was a clown at the party, a real clown. DH and XN took back many ballon swords and flowers. DH does not know what is a clown, so he called him a 鞋人 because of the large shoe the clown is wearing.

Went to the Botanic Gardern to attend a wedding dinner. It is an evening event which is very special. This is the first time we have ever been to the Garden at night!

The location is next to the Halia restaurant which looks very different at night as compared to during day time.

The garden's water fall and plants make it a wonderful place for a stroll at night.

Today XN's school is celebrating Children's Day! XN is bringing food to the school today to share with everyone. They are hot dog cocktail with cucumbers and tomatoes. Hope her friends will like the vegetables and not just the meat.

This is XN and DH's cousin, DY. Just born today afternoon.

XN went with Grandma to see him together with 姑姑。

XN specifically wanted to meet him, we even missed an important wedding dinner this evening.

The children will have lots of fun playing together next time.

Went to the Zoo this weekend. The chance of rain was always there. But that also meant the weather was not too hot. There were also less people this time, not sure if it is because of the school holidays are going to start soon so people are holding back or due to the high chance of rain due to the recent weather.

This time we try to make it a point to see some shows which we always missed on previous trips. The elephant show starts at 11:30am. DH has been reading Noah's Ark as his bedtime stories. So he likes to call out the names of all the different animals in the book. The elephant is his favorite. Perhaps its big size makes it stands out among the other animals, so he notice it more.

The show is very entertaining. We sat in the front rows during performance and we even got wet when the elephants spay us with clean water using their nooses.

These elephant are all female and they are very strong! DH likes them very much.

After that, it was to another show "The rain forest fights back". Since this is a performance about protecting the environment, the children are less interested on its more grown-up story line.

There are numerous elephants statues all along the park with different decor. It is the theme of the month.

Last weekend, we went do McD for breakfast.

The McD at AMK garden has a playground near by and many people are there for the weekend breakfast.

The playground has a big sand pit with lots of playing equipment which are fantastic! XN and DH has a lot of fun.

After that, it was lunch at a baby full moon party. The new baby looks very cute. DH and XN even had shower at the baby house since they sweat so much at the playground.

XN went for a school trip to the exhibition in the Singapore Science Center. She brought back a fossil to experience how to be an archaeologist and digging for dino bones!
