Botanic Gardens

We went back to Singapore for a short break on 26 Dec. Sofia was very very excited this time round because we kept telling her she was going on an aeroplane one week before the trip. And we told her the aeroplane has got a tiger! She must have thought it was a REAL tiger, but unfortunately, it was not. But she was equally as excited to see the "tiger" on the aeroplane so much so that she refuse to nap nor eat.

It was a beautiful day today and we actually thought of going to the zoo but there was little time left when Sofia woke up from her nap. So we went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens instead. It has been ages since I been there and it was very refreshing to be there again. We used to go there very often, for school excursions when I was young. We would have picnics and outdoor lessons there, it was beautiful. Being there with Sofia brought back all the lovely memories.

Of course, she was more fascinated by the dogs out for evening walks and the black swans in the pond than the fauna. More importantly, the park is really huge and gave her a chance to run as much as she wants to.
Sofia is filled with boundless supply of energy and it amazes and tire us out. Thus we would always try to exhaust her energy during the evenings, be it at the playground or park. Though at times I certainly wish I could use some of her energy for myself!!
