Terracotta Warriors: The First Emperor & His Legacy

One would need a trip to Beijing to complete the whole experience, Mummy Eliz felt.

He would be remembered even 1000 years down the road, his motives would be debated on again and again, there would be those who condemned him, and those who at least appreciate the fact that he made lots of contributions to the development of China.

So when ACM brought in this exhibition, how could we miss it for anything?

Probably, the kids’ understanding of it all was superficial, but it’s ok, as long as they had fun, it’s all right.

Prince's Christian Marriage Arrangement

Prince Christian “Mum, I'll give Dad my Batman Tshirt when I’m 10 years.”
Mummy Eliz “Why does Daddy need your T-shirt?”
Prince Christian “He said I can marry you if I give him the T-shirt.”
Mummy Eliz “Did he really?”
Princess Chelsea “Yes, Daddy did.”

KTM Railway Walking Route, fm Holland Rd to Bukit Timah Station

Weird isn’t it, when it’s going to be around, it’s usually taken for granted, when news was out that it’s going to go, it became the ‘In’ weekend trip.

But that’s human nature isn’t it? So one fine morning, with our dearest friends, we went on a KTM Railway Walking Route, fm Holland Rd to Bukit Timah Station.

For most part of the 2.3 hours walk, Prince Christian had a special transport service provided by Daddy Tiong, he enjoyed better air, better scenery, and Daddy Tiong ended up with sore shoulders.

And guess what, Prince’s take-away from this trip is the understanding finally of what a fallen log looks like, I guess, in a normal city neighborhood, it’s pretty hard to get a chance to show that to a kid.

Winner of Look-A-Like Contest 1st Prize

We've often been told all 4 of us look alike, but we were still pleasantly surprised when we took the 1st Prize of a trophy and a hamper at Toa Payoh West Cc 10th Anniversary Celebration Look-Alike Contest.

PS:

Prince Christian never really remembered the meaning of the word "hamper", it was after we won the hamper that he really started paying attention to hampers found all around in our neighbourhood. Well, Mummy Eliz guess this was a good example of learning thru play.

Chinese Heritage Tour by TP West Cc

It’s taking Mummy Eliz eons, eons to just get some updates on the web. There’s probably no sense of urgency in the tasks, probably, if grading was supposed to be done, the updates would have been up already.

The weekend before the end of the June Holidays, we went on a Chinese Heritage Tour to the Chinese Heritage Centre, and the Chinese Wedding Gallery.

And a high to end the trip, Princess Chelsea’s second tooth came out on its own slightly after the trip. It scared all daylights out of her.

1D Day Trip to Kluang UK Farm via KTM Train

UK farm in Kluang sounds so Ang-Moish, but it’s actually came from the initials of the owner, so it can be forgiven as an attempt to pull in the crowds by sounding more high-class than it actually is.

Well, from the kids’ point of view, with unobstructed views of the clear blue skies and endless grazing fields, it’s actually a very good experience, esp the feeding of the goats with milk bottles etc.

It’s a day trip on the KTM Train, and we also made a short stop to play at a mountain, and everything would have been perfect if the return train was not delayed for a good 2 hours.

~ It's history now, the Tanjong Pagar KTM Station would never be used as a station. ~

Goats hands-on at UK Farm

Princess loves animals, if she gets her way, our 3 room flat would be a mini-zoo, just witness her body softening when a lamb was placed in her hands.

Water Park beneath a mountain

We should have that at our reservoirs too, that would make a great end to a hot day out hiking, and prob would attract more crowds to our reservoirs.

"The people of Arabia are excited because of the arrival of a genie. The genie's lamp is broken so it might be hopeless. Taking a closer look at the genie, it looks friendly. Maybe it will even grant some wishes. This is Chelsea reporting live from United Sq."
