Hari Raya Holiday Outing @ JBG

Since her school learning journey to Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden a few months back, Anthea had been talking so much about this garden and her strong wish to visit it again.

Since Hari Raya falls on a Sunday and we had no other program, so I told her we can plan a visit to the garden on Sunday, subject to weather. She was very happy and on Saturday, she even called one of her classmates – Aloysius and asked if he would like to join us.

We woke up to a bright & sunny Sunday morning. After a good breakfast, Anthea called Aloysius and checked if he would be going with us. She was very happy when Aloysius’s parents allowed him to join us for the outing.

On our way to the garden, we went by to Aloysius’s place and picked him up. We reached the garden around 10.45am and the weather was good.

Both Anthea and Aloysius knew their way around very well and they played “Guide” to us..hehe. We walked around the garden and saw many interesting plants and different species of trees.

Then we reached the Tree House and the children had fun playing the slide. After playing at the tree house slide, we had a short refreshment break. I brought along biscuits and bread for the children.

After re-charging, we continued to explore the garden. When we reached the A-maze-ing Play area, the children had so much fun running in & out of the maze and Adrian was busy chasing them…haha.

Our last stop was the Four sided blocks and the children had the chance to try out using different woods to create ‘music’.

Our tour of the garden ended at 12.15pm. It had been a very wonderful outing & playtime for the children.

Then we headed back to AMK HUB for lunch. The children had requested to have Subways Sandwiches. Adrian commented that this generation are into Subways and no wonder there are more and more outlets coming out…hee. So shall we call them Generation-SUBs…: P

Then we went home to bath and changed. Aloysius came along to our home and had fun time playing all the different games that Anthea & Anders had. His parents came by to fetch him around 5pm..

Then we had dinner with our extended families before calling it a day.
