Jacob Ballas Garden

Finally, after hearing of this place for so many times, we had the chance to visit it today!

Woke up at 8am, started preparing breakfast before we headed to Jacobs Ballas Garden.

I had heard from fellow forumer that there are a few carparks around the Singapore Botanic Garden and only 1 is near to the JB Garden. SH told in her blog that she parked somewhere far and walked quite a distance to reach the place. In order not to follow her footsteps, we tried our best to look out for JB garden carpark. We thought we had found the place, but we were wrong!! We parked at Carpark A and it's was a distance to JB!

We walked and walked, everytime we walked past a carpark, we thought this should be the nearest carpark, but we had walked past at least 2 carparks before we reached the actual JB Carpark! It was less crowded there! We waited for abt 15mins at Carpark A before we can actually parked as the carpark was fulled.

After 20 mins walk, we finally reached JB!! When we entered the park, Reyna was sitting in the pram quietly, when we reached the photosynthesis area, I let her out of the pram, then she got so excited!! Keep wanting to go and turn the handle on the box!! I don't know what will happen, cos I tried turning it, I can't see anything changes or popped out. :P

Ok, look at all these pictures... the gals had enjoyed very much with the place.... except for Reyna who has yet appreciating it :P

Smoked Blender

I "smoked" my 6 years old blender!!! Haha, I find it very funny, I thought this scenerio can only be found in sitcom or comedy, but it actually happened to me.

I was trying to make some dark chocolate ice cream, but the recipe required the use of an ice cream maker. As I do not have the ice cream maker, I used the blender to blend the ice cream after it had been frozen. It took me quite some time to blend the ice cream till milk shake form, but luckily, it managed to turn into milk shake before the blender "smoked" on me... There's smoke coming out from the motor!! I wondered what happened? Was it I overheated the blender or the water from the condensation dripped into the motor and causing it to smoke.

Anyway, that will be my last use of the blender as well as my last batch of ice cream till I buy an ice cream maker, which is impossible as it's super ex or a new blender which can use to churn the ice cream.

Family Photo

Last Sunday, since we are still early for our dinner, we brought the gals to Robinson for a walk and see if we can get anything for our new house.

While we were there, we were curious about Living Colours from Philips and there was a roadshow going on hosted by Vivien Tay. When she saw us approaching, she called out for us and apparently, there's no one watching her, so she asked if we would like to take a family photo.

Haha, we proceed to the set up in the Robinson and took the photo with the ambience colour purple cos Rachel told her that her favourite colour is Purple.

Not too bad, except that we came unprepared so the dressing were abit obiang. :P

1st Diaperless Night

I know, this is nothing to be proud, but though this happened only now at 5 yrs old, at least it happened now.

Rachel had gone through her first diaperless nite last nite and, managed to survive the night without wetting the bed. I hope this will continue so that our pocket will be spare a little from buying her diaper though she is sharing them with her sisters.

3 cheers for Rachel!! Hip hip.....Hooray!!!
