Today was Pearl’s company’s family day and it was a free and easy day at the Zoo, so we were able to go for free! Come to think about it, if we don’t count the Night Safari, we have not been to the day zoo for 11 years already! Wow! how time flies, we were dating back then and now we have 2 kids liao.

As you can see there were super alot of people there that day even when it was raining heavily in the late morning. We got there about noon and the rain just stopped, how nice.

Cliéwas quite afraid of the animals although she kept telling us that she was not afraid. This is her standing infront of the polar bear tank just before feeding time.

There are actually flamingos behind us.

There was also this big playground beside a big mini kids pool kinda thing and Clié had a great time.

Cleo is too cute and thats what i do to her almost everyday.

btw, Clié is afraid of monkeys… dunno why.

It was a good family day for us all and i don’t know when will we be back again. I think the next trip, our girls will be able to tell us what every animal is already.

We did not have enough of each other at Church Camp so we went out for coffee / ice-cream again in Singapore… This time we went to Ice Cube at Serangoon Gardens. Quite a nice place, everyone should try it at least once.

I had an opportunity to present at the very first Rojak event and here are some pictures to share with you all.

^ Thats Case Woo doing his DJ segment.

^ We were leaving

The night was real arty, i actually felt too commercial to be there. But it was a real good effort on Torrance’s part as he have just contributed to a somewhat independent new culture for us expressive Singaporeans.

A good close friend of mine Jeremy San runs Koijin and i’ve personally seen how hard working he was scouting all over the globe to bring together a collection of Vintage Fabrics. You can see a sample of the stuff he have on his site and contact him to see the actual samples. If you are an interior designer, a product designer or just someone who appreciates good fabric, you’ve gotta check Koijin out.

Never quite understand the fish tank and fish hobby thingy… but my brother David loves it and its even his business. He was exhibiting there and i was quite amazed by what an industry it is. He deal mainly with lights for marine fish tanks. Apparently Corals can only live in salt water and also at a controlled temperature with proper lighting, hence its way more advanced than a fresh water tank. Very complex…

Anyway the event was over the weekend at Aquarama 2005 in Singapore Expo and visitors had to pay $8 to get in. WOW! kinda lke watching a movie already.

So when the event ended, we had to move all the stuff into my Dad’s van and it was no joke! Imagine moving a few fish tank and many big fish tank lights out from expo and into the industrial area nearby where he parked the car. And one trip was not enough, i think we took at least 3 to 4 trips.

Anyway… it was fun. an interesting experience.
