HAPPY ABAH'S DAY!!

3rd Wk
20th Jun 09, late afternoon, we went to Orchard Rd for shopping. Once we were there we headed to OG and got few things for ourself except for Sis. After awhile being a shopaholic we headed to the new building, Orchard Central. Externally and internally the design of the building was attractive and unique but the pathway along the stores are narrow. On the 7th floor we were able to view the whole stretch of Orchard Road. After visualize some of the areas, it time for us to full fill our stomach. Practically, we were there to celebrate Father's Day and had dinner at Sakura International. I won't elaborate too much because the pictures tells a thousand words.

The next day........HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!!. It's a tradition that the Zone 5 RC will celebrate every important occasions. As usual after the brisk walk they distributed breakfast, cakes, gift for all fathers and then we home sweet home. To tell the truth the celebration it's a bit blunt. However, in the afternoon after kiddy came back from religious school we had tad of fun. We bought a father features cake...cute huhhhh. And in the evening we went to father's house ....chit chat with in-law to keep thing updated and last not least now they have 4 very cute kittens..soo adorable!!

WHERE ARE ALL THE IDEAS GO??

2nd Week

Frankly i got no idea where to go nor make any arrangement for this holiday. However, i am very pleased that for this week few activities were arranged for the kids instead but was made by other resources. For instance on Thurs, Singapore Turf Club organised Fun Under the Star and on Friday, the Zone 5 RC organised a movie "Open Season 2" whereas on Sat, the RC arranged half day outing to ACM (Asian Cicilisations Museum) and to Marina Burrage. Coincidently it resolved my problem when my two nieces stayed a few nights at my place but unsure if they enjoyed those activities because they are no longer hhhmmmmm.... "i'm not a girl not yet a woman".

GENIUS WHO??

1 Wk

Sat, the 7th. And yet again we went to another engagement ceremony. This time it was held at W’lands. It’s a good sign that people got engaged and literally will get married and the next thing we will be having more good generations. Personally I’m unsure if it is genius to have a grand engagement celebration. Imagine the time, $$, energy consumed for the preparation of food, gifts, list of guest, decorations and the list goes on…it’s pretty taxing physically and mentally, i guess. And not forgetting next will be another preparation for the grand wedding. However, in spite of all these, I just hope it will turn out to be a good deed instead of burden....by the way it's up to every individuals ;+

As planned, the next day we went to the Science Centre. In order to avoid the crowd we went there early. Kiddy has been requesting to go to the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibition. It’s an exhibition that’s been termed as inspirational. "Da Vinci — The Genius" exhibition is based on the works of the great Italian Leonardo da Vinci. The exhibition, showcases Machine Inventions, presentation on the Life & Times of Leonardo da Vinci as well as the famous Secrets of the Mona Lisa painting and many more...To bad we were not allow to take any photo inside the exhibition..."rugi seh bayar mahal2 tak dapat ambil gambar". After the exhibition, we just followed the two little feet, where or whatever he wanted to go. For 6 hrs we were filled with discovery, wonder, adventure and fun. Yup, you’ve read that right. FUN! The real genius...obviously the ONE UP THERE!! but frankly i'm really astonish with Da Vinci works everthing is awesome!!

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath, scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention.[1] He is widely considered to be one of the greatest painters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.
