Our lapbook cover.   I got the idea from  http://www.bedifferentactnormal.com/2011/10/haunted-house-craft-for-kids.html

Animal  Home Bingo from http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/previews/7976-8000/sb7980-animal-homes-bingo.html.   Shy to say that I don't know the answer to all of them so had to do some research to get the answer in order to teach Png Png.

Types of houses in Singapore.   I pointed the types of houses that we saw on the street to Png Png.   We even visited a semi detached that my cousin Lillian was selling during the open house.

River Safari

Today we paid a visit to River Safari, the river themed zoo and aquarium.  

The panda bear mascot happened to walk by.    We took picture with the panda bear mascot.

 

We rented a stroller for Png Png.   He was happily seating on the stroller most of the time.   We were also relief that we could load off our stuff in the stroller.

We were lucky to be at the Giant Panda Forest during the Panda bear feeding time.   So, we got to see the Panda bear face to face.    However, we only saw one Panda bear.    I have no idea if it was Kai Kai or Jia Jia.

Squirrel Monkey.

 

A squirrel Monkey passed motion when it was running across a tree branch which was located above the walkway.    Luckily nobody was below that spot (see the branch in the air behind us).    Many visitors gave out a sign or relief and had a good laugh.   Png Png laughed hysterically and described the scene to everybody when we got home.
