Weekend Wanderings

Its been over 2 years since we left Singapore. Sometimes it feels like a lot has changed and other times, we have to remind ourselves that we have actually been away. With the exams over we are back to devoting our Sundays to rediscovering Singapore.

2 Sundays back it was a visit to the Peranakan museum where we took the non-boring kiddy tour.Fascinating medley of cultures, the Peranakans have such a rich heritage that its difficult to take it all in at one go. Lots to experience, learn and have fun with. All of us had a blast and I was particularly touched that my very outdoorsy family was game to try a museum - of course it being Mother's Day, I had it my way!

Last Sunday started off with a loud thunder storm. But nah, that didn't alter our plans. After braving -30 degrees and enjoying walks through blizzards, a little rain wasn't going to bother us. We headed down to Labrador Nature Park armed with umbrellas and an optimistic picnic basket (in case the weather changed). Lush green forests with a bit of History thrown in (it used to serve as the point where the British stored their ammunition and watched out for enemy ships), Labrador Park was more than what we expected.

Thanks to the incessant rain, we could do but one trail that led us all the way to the beachfront playground complete with a maze. Splashing, scratching (tons of mozzies), smiling we spent a very pleasurable Sunday morning.


Rain or not, more explorations coming your way!
