(May 16) To the museum again


a bright blue morning, two boys in blue...snuggling like peas in a pod


happy mother's day, mama


brought jie to church


jun's first splash!


I was growing so finely, I had upgraded to size 6-9 months.


hello hello, who called?


Aunt Johanna bought earrings for Xun, this was her favourite - the rainbows


jie asked to wear the same skirt as mama. woah, mama was at her thinnest now after delivery of the third child...abt 47.5 kg. my claim to achievement was remaining svelte and smoking hot as papa out it though I was a mum of 3. what was the zany world's obsession with thinness about?


eh...never knew he could wear the cotton on shorts with his polo ralph top. made him look like a kooky bumblebee


and jie was ethereal looking like a fairy in pristine white



what was up with that grim look?


the bumblebee camouflaging with the slide




we checked out the newly renovated water play at IMM but could not play as we did not bring the swimming suits. oh...you might ask, why were the kids not at sch? haha...coz jie had cough and perhaps the fever caused rashes to break out, she was sheepish and did not want her classmates to see


so we went to the Jurong East Library to while the time away...and shopped at IMM

Tuesday at the Singapore Art Museum


yeah, we never liked to be cooped up at home. tong would ask for the TV, darn, and the kids got crabby and tempers would flare..


so mum found out that they were having the kids' special at 8 Queen St...so off we scooted


the first one was breath taking. Ocean - themed. colourful octopuses hanging from the ceiling


they loved the fluffy soft whales the most...it was sooo comfy to lie on them


even jun got into the action


there were knitted coral reefs to complete this serene underwater scene


and shoals of fish scurrying around. ran jun jun through the shoals and he was amused



this would make such a beautiful children's room


my three precious tykes




glad we came before the june hol crowds ruined the exhibits



we spent quite a lengthy time there


the star of the exhibit - mogus the multi tasking octopus



went to the craft room and there were periscopes. tong did an origami penguin and jie  folded an angelfish.


this was most intriguing and mind-blowing. using helium and light, they had this charcoal coated ball which hovered like some ghostly orb...


the kids jad a wild time running and bouncing it around


eeh except the aftermath was smoky stained hands and faces ha


went to another room which had some interesting sculptures. a pity they were not interactive pieces


ah marriage of a phone and steamboat ha


ah.... shoals of fish escaping from


the jaws of the mighty shark


ARGHHHHHH it got my hand

pretty disturbing images about how men were harming the environment



this exhibit used the insignificant trash to convey the somber message of how much litter we threw away every single day






This was the puppet theatre but there was no show on that day. the cloth was billowing...rather serene and dreamy



interesting exhibits in the room


they spun the handles to make the animation move... I recalled having such toys in the past...


oh shark's fin!




rather disturbing images... not that it affected the kiddos in any bit


went bk to the first room, their first love


played on the piano while whiling the time away before ah gong came



bk at home, all snuggly to sleep



our little tim was growing up so quickly...he was all chirpy and playful nowadays

could not wait for the holidays to come and we would be painting the town red again!
