Clié loves running around and she also like wearing heels. The combination is superbad and many people have came up to tell me so too. So we decided the princess needed a good pair of running shoes.

Its so beautiful right.

I’ve not bought a single Nike product since secondary school and this buy (is not cheap) is something i’m quite happy about.

You’ll see her running more from now on.

Aug 08 Dayout

Breakfast at Privé

Its been a tough few weeks for Pearl and I and today, we pampered ourselves and had a full day out.

We started with having breakfast with kids at Ang Mo Kio Macs, then left them with my parents as we planned for my dad to bring them go swimming in the afternoon. The kids love it.

We went to Privé for lunch and ordered from the breakfast menu.

The ambiance was great, the food was so so, but its our first visit, so we do think its quite a nice place.

Then later in the evening, we went to Broth as i read about it from Danesh’s blog post sometime back.

For appetizer, I had the “Baby spinach and portobello mushroom salad raspberry vinegar dressing and fried shallots” and it was fantastic. I never could imagine what a person can do with a few leaves.

I had the “Braised duck w roasted figs in flaky pastry w rocket salad & balsamic dressing” as the main and it was not as fantastic as the appetizer. It really felt like a plate of expensive braised duck. Its braised duck. Eating it strangely reminds me of a heartland coffeeshop.

But i have to say the ambiance was fantastic, they played male jazz vocals and the waiters were very very good. Will come back next time, but maybe i’ll try lunch instead.

Overall, it was an excellent day and i’m many dollars poorer, but i made my wife happy.

A happy wife is a happy live.

Wet Botanic Gardens

Was at Botanic Gardens with kids on sunday and many church friends were there too.

It started off nice and breezy and we started playing some group games, but little did we expect it was only 15mins away from a long afternoon shower. Everyone dashed to the nearest shelter and tried their very best to cover all the picnic food and carry them off too.

Oh well, thats that for a fun filled nice afternoon at the Botanic Gardens. But kids being kids, they still managed to have fun. They were looking forward to use their nice little umbrellas that mommy bought a few months back.

Here is a retro song to accompany this post.
