Outdoor Saturday

Had a hard time thinking where to go, every weekend. Unlike in the past, it was so simple. Breakfast at Joo Chiat and with food bought specially for Ma, we would go straight to my mum's place for the weekend...

Brought Gine to Pasir Ris Park. Kids love the huge playground there. Remembered I rented the spacious HDB bungalow there and Pa and Ma simply loved that place, though they were there for a week! Greg and his mummy, sister-in-law and her 2 sons also joined us and the kids had much fun sliding, kicking the ball and playing bubbles! Gine has not met her cousins for quite some time and now, she would start to chase after the boys when they ran towards the playground.

Then we decided to go over to Gallop Stable to take a look. Well, we were not even aware that such a place existed in Singapore. Hubby was excited and immediately went to but a pack of dried hay for the horses (or rather ponies). Maybe he thought the ponies were as hungry as he was...


Luckily, Gine woke up just in time for a pony ride!! Initially Mummy Barney wanted to have a try herself! As far as I could remember, never had an opportunity to ride on a horse. Could remember when I was young, was fighting with Greg's mummy over riding a white horse in Sentosa when suddenly the horse flashed his gritty teeth, both of us decided to let the other party ride the horse...Ha!Ha!

Well, Gine did enjoy her pony ride and even look so professional with her helmet on. Perhaps Mummy should go get her such a helmet so that she can be protected from future falls!!! :p

After the visit to the stable, we head on to Downtown East. Phew! Think my energy level was almost exhausted. The kids were still full of energy and wanted the Kiddy rides. Indeed, a FUN Saturday outdoors which we ended with a sumptuous lunch.

When I reached home, Greg's mummy sent me an sms: 'Wanna go for picnic this evening at Bontanical Gardens?" I nearly fainted, and politely suggested having that for next weekend.

It's seem like your hubby is more excited about the trip than Regine. Hey, tell me more about the Children's Garden at the Botanical Garden after your visit this weekend, ok?
