Ponggol Settlement

We decided to check out the fish pond at Ponggol Settlement today and at the same time, meet with Godpa, Jie Jie Eileen and Janessa. It has been a while since we last met Simba so it was good we get to play with him.

There were a signage at the park that we are not allowed to feed the tortoise and the birds but there was none saying we can't feed the fish. So Daddy took out his bag of stale bread which he had collected over the last month from those bread he couldn't finish before they expired. At first there were only a couple of fish eating and the tortoise could get to a few pieces of bread. However, more fish started coming and they were much faster so the tortoises had no chance to eat at all, which was not a bad thing as we were not allowed to feed them.

We also played at the small playground while waiting for Simba who came eventually. He looked almost the same since the last time and we reckon he will not grow anymore. As compared with Eva's Biscuit, Simba is so much smaller!

Daddy suggested we play hide and seek and he will start off being the monkey. It was not a huge playground but there were many places to hide. Daddy managed to get us after 5 mins and it was Andrea and Janessa's turn to be monkeys. It was fun as we were usually confined to a small place to play hide and seek.

We left around 6.30pm to go to Nai Nai and Ye Ye's place for dinner.

Cycling by the beach

Second day of CNY was a Sunday so we got Monday as a holiday too. So Daddy and Gu Jie decided to have the kids go cycling and then swim at the club today. Unfortunately Andrea couldn't join us as she has a fencing competition at Marina Square.

We met them at Marine Cove at 9am and rented the bikes from the kiosk. Joash didn't want to ride so Gu Jiong had to watch over him at the playground. The park was very crowded since it was a public holiday with many families spending the day at the beach. We cycled to the jetty to see if anyone caught any big fish. There were so many families fishing at the jetty we wonder if the fish there are having a buffet. After the jetty, we moved on and rode all the way to the Outward Bound Campsite where they have an obstacle course there.

On the way to return the bikes, we came across some old trees. I remember these were the same trees Daddy took some pictures of me when I was little. We took some pictures there for old time sake. 

Unfortunately, as we were approaching the bike kiosk, WeiEn fell off the bike and she was in real

pain, Her knee was badly bruised and bloody. She was crying in pain and so Gu Jie told us to go ahead to return our bikes first. Thank goodness it wasn't that bad and she managed to cycle back to return the bike. After East Coast, we went to Chinese Swimming Club and went to the pool for a quick dip. We actually planned to bowl too but we ran out of time so we just went for lunch at Manzhu where Nai Nai and Ye Ye joined us there too. I had a good time but too bad it was too short.
