Gardens By the Bay French Faire

Carpe Diem organised an outing to Gardens By the Bay to visit French Faire - exhibit at Flower Dome.    Parents were invited to join the outing.  Chen Chen and I joined the outing since he had no lesson.   It was mid year school holiday.

Not to be missed French's iconic Eiffel Tower.   
Hey, I experienced French in Singapore!

Coffee at the cafe, anyone?

We visited Cloud Forest as well since there was plenty of time left.

Father's day lunch

My brother wanted very much to try the buffet lunch at Chiso Zanmai at Eu Tong Seng Street.    However, there was always a long queue.   He was unable to get through the contact number to make a reservation.   I managed to make a reservation online through Hungrygowhere  for our Father's Day celebration.   Finally, my brother managed to dine at Chiso Zanmai on his third visit.

The food wasn't fantastic except for the soft ice cream which was finger licking good.   I love it with red bean.

The atmosphere was great  overseeing Clarke Quay.   We could see the reverse bungee.



Gardens By the Bay Far East Organization Children's Garden

We heard about Far East Organization Children's Garden at Gardens By The Bay quite some time.   My boys kept asking us to bring them there.   Today, we were there finally.

There were Rainforest Tree Houses and Water Play.    

On the way to the Rainforest Tree Houses.

Png Png climbed up the Rainforest Tree Houses with the help of hubby.   

It looked scary to me stepping on nets below one's feet.


At the Water Play, there were the center piece for elder children (suitable for 6-12 year old) and a toddler play zone for younger children (suitable for 1-5 year old).

There were fish fountain and fish sculptures at the toddler play zone.

Abacus competition

Today, Png Png took part in Abacus competition held in Meridian Primary School.   His Abacus teacher Agnes was very encouraging.   She gave Png Png and his classmate worksheets to practise and motivated them to do their best.   Png Png took part in the category for K1 and K2.  This was the category with the most number of participants.   

Before announcement of the results, there were quiz and I was very surprised that Png Png volunteered to take part in the quiz.

When the results were announced, I was very delighted that Png Png got the 2nd prize in the competition.

His hard work paid off.    His victory goes to him and his teacher Agnes.   Thank you teacher Agnes.
