Just Some Events During the Nov/Dec Holidays

Let's see, what did I do in the holidays besides another overseas trip?

We went around the museums and other locations for the exhibits in the Singapore Biennale.

Cycling around Punngol Park and the Promenade. 

Braving the cold to view 30-odd pieces of ice art in Singapore in an enclosed area at -15°C. And a playground with ice slides! 

A pantomime "Jack & The Bean-Sprout!" We would not miss these year-end pantomimes!

Another musical "Lightseeker" at the Resorts World on New Year's Eve.

And another round of grand course at the Forest Adventure in Bedok Reservoir on the last weekend of the year with my sis and brother-in-law.

Gemicans And Adventures!

March theme for our ATC session in Bishan Library was "Bling Bling".  I browsed through all the jewellery brochures I have kept and came up with a new "Bling Bling" race - the Gemicans.  I'm not sure if I should be admiring the paper dolls or the gems, but one thing I'm sure is there will be more Gemicans to come!

Traded 3 of them for the following.  From left to right - ATC from Moses (B/W Bling Bling), Vicki (Imagine) and Sor Huan (Do You Know Me?).

Umintsuru has earlier asked for suggestions on the arrangement of 2 dozen tatted roses. On the spur of the moment, I came up with the arrangement based on the Chinese word "乐", meaning happy.  You can see the actual arrangement on her blog ...

and a very sweet pair of tatted earrings came as a gift!  Thank you, Umintsuru!!

Last Sunday, my sister brought her boys to Forest Adventure at the Bedok Reservoir Park.  I joined her with my youngest girl.  The children went for the Kids Course, a 1-hour tree top course comprising 16 stages. I was gamed for the Grand Course, which has 34 obstacles including 4 zip lines over the Bedok Reservoir and a giant tarzan swing.  Not too difficult but it did take 2 whole hours to complete the actual course excluding the safety briefing. 

 

I'm game for more adventures!

Kristine working her way through ...

Last but not least, I wanted to show the birthday card my girl did for me.  I'm quite impressed with the construction of the card - there are 5 folds to the 12" x 12" paper, a tag on the front, a hinged disc and an ATC on the inside.  So sweet, Kristine!
