Short Stroll on Sunny Sunday

Weather this morning was too wonderful for us to idle it away at home. Mommy suggested that we bring little Jaimie out, to a place she hasn't been before.


Daddy's Princess all dressed up for her maiden trip to...


...the Singapore Botanic Gardens! It's been some time since our last visit here several years ago, and the changes made were really pretty significant. The main entrance area was totally unrecognisable. The old metal gates were gone and there're now large kois swimming merrily in ponds, welcoming visitors and attracting numerous avid photographers too. Jae got quite excited over seeing the fishes.


Yes yes....the place has indeed changed alot, dear. Not to worry though, we can still find our way around. There's no need for you to start playing tour guide and get all pointy about the routes to take. T_T


Ahh...a familiar sight at last. There are some things that have not changed, after all.


When it involves things she really likes, Jae can be very buey-paiseh...like how she didn't need any invitation to join her "new friend" in playing bubbles.


Jae fell down while running on a rough cement tar track. My heart wrenched when I saw her raw skin on her right knee. The little one didn't so much as utter a sound of complaint as she picked herself up from the ground, merely calling out for me to brush away the sand particles on her hands and legs. She's one tough cookie, this girl.


We managed to only venture to this location, near the NParks HQ, before mommy suggested that we take a break and then head home.


Here's Jaimie....taking a break.


Guess what? Just as we were about to journey back, we bumped into little Darryl's family. Wonder if they eventually did manage to visit the Jacob Ballas Children Playground or not....
