Our second family trip during the school hols brought us to... Jurong Bird Park! Woohoo!
Yup, we renewed our 4-park annual pass and hope to make the most of it since it has really been long since we went to any of the parks.
That said, the hubby and I forgot to book the feeding sessions in advance and the kids were a tad disappointed when they realised these were already full when we arrived and had to give them a miss.
To make up for it, we queued up for the High Flyers show - the max capacity is 100pax so you have to go early - to make sure we could get seats and oh yeah, we got the best seats in the amphiteatre! Yay! All of us enjoyed the show immsensely, including the talking parrot Baobao that said "I love you", the colourful, magnificent macaws, the beautiful flamboyance of flamingos, Sunny the hornbill and more.
We then continued our Skechers Friendship Walk and made it for another 3km as we explored nearly the whole park on foot. So we were not intending to feed the birds, right? Somehow, with a stroke of luck, the kids spotted some sunflower seeds and mealworms on the ground so their highlight of the day was feeding these to the birds just before we left the park at 6pm. It was a reminder that good things come when you least expect them, that unexpected happiness can be the best and that joy can be found in the tiniest of things in life.
I remember holding the boy's hand as we walked in the rain that afternoon and he looked at me and said "Mama, this is so fun, right?" Indeed it was, my dear. Sometimes, all we need is a change in perspective to see the good in our lives.
Well, we have one last lap to walk tomorrow which I believe will take our total distance to over 10km, woohoo! Till more updates!
P.S. We went for Boon Lay nasi lemak after that which brought back fond memories of our NTU days for the hubby and I. Such a great way to end off the night, yay!
