Afternoon out at Singapore Zoo’s Rainforest Kidzworld

Entry by Bernard,

This time we visited the Zoo plainly to enjoy the new Rainforest Kidzworld for Esther sake. Mummy was the photographer and Daddy was tasked to get wet with Esther.

Try something easy with Esther on Daddy lap down a slide. Later on, Esther was to try the slide by herself

Taking the more challenging slide, with Daddy grapping tightly to Esther.

Taking a rest bite, sunbathing in the Sun.

Mommy and Daddy played the ultimate trick on Esther, leaving her alone, while the overhead massive bucket of water awaits her. In the next 3 pictures, the massive amount of water had virtually consumed her, but she remained standing strong.

Grandma brought Esther home from school earlier than usual

Entry by Diana

Esther had to leave school early because mummy received a call from Principal Ruth informing that there had been a case of HFMD from another classmate.  Mummy quickly informed Esther's grandma to bring her home first until further notice.

Durian Vomit

Entry by Bernard,

When Milk combined with Durian to make vomit, its potentially a more potent weapon than Poo Poo water. Esther created that when she was coughing in her sleep, and the mess managed to cover some the mattress, pillow and her hair. It was not a good sight.

Diary Farm Natural Reserve Hike

Entry By Bernard,

The Tham Family went for a short hike to Diary Farm Reserve, first to the Wallace Education Centre, which was quite boring.

Then we took the longer hike to the quarry, which Esther got restless and got down to walk. As we moved up and down slopes, she walked, pushed the pram and juggled with the water bottles.

Certainly tired from the hike, but was rewarded with a nice scenery.

Esther 's Phonics skills

Entry by Bernard,

Esther display an exponential increase of learning capabilities and recognition skills, as she easily spew out many words, that are very close to the actual pronunciation. Great Work Girl !

GrandFather 69th Birthday

Entry by Bernard,

Celebrating Grandfather 69th Birthday without much fanfare, Esther still the darling and center of attraction

Esther goes back to school with no hassle

Entry by Diana

Esther went back to school on Monday with no hassle.  She let teacher Carol carry her and did not cry or wail as earlier anticipated.

Mooncake Festival

Entry by Bernard,

The light drizzle is not going to stop Esther from carrying her new lantern.
