Maldives 2014

We went to Maldives from 7 June to 12 June to celebrate our 14th year anniversary in advance. It is also our annual break form the kids. Our first annual break 2 years ago was 3 days 2 nights, then last year was 4 days 3 nights. This time was 6 days 5 nights, getting longer breaks yearly. Stayed in Male town for the first night then next day morning we took a seaplane to our hotel Viceroy. Heavenly place! We stayed in a spacious and luxurious water villa there. And thanks to the invention of the selfie stick and wireless bluetooth so that we can take so many pictures of ourselves.

Thank you my dear for the fulfilling my wish to visit Maldives, your love and everything else...

Recital of Joy Performance

We went to support Clarence in his dance performance at ACS yesterday. Good performance put up by the boys. Daddy missed the performance cos he was in China,

  

Sleep with the penguins Part 1

Signed up for the Sleep with penguins camp at Jurong Bird Park (30 Nov and 1 Dec). Initially signed up for the 3 of them but Mummy went along in the end cos Daddy wanted us to go as a whole family as it would be more "Fun". Took some pictures while waiting for the rest of our camp mates to report.

After reporting and playing some ice-breaker games, we went to see the penguins.

Got to see and touch penguin fur from the penguin specimen:

Penguin fins:

Penguin feet:

It started to drizzle so we put on our raincoats and went ahead.

Went to the Breeding and Research centre to see little birds in the incubator and attended a short lesson on different eggs and saw a live demonstration on how they feed the little birds.

Clarence with Ostrich egg:

Daddy with emu egg:

Meimei with Cassowary egg:

Next we went to feed the pelicans.

The pelican feet:

Went over to the Waterfall Aviary to try to feed worms to the birds. Mission failed cos it was raining and the birds were hiding.

The main attraction of the camp: Meeting the penguin up close and personal.
This is Chocolate, an African penguin:

Oops, Chocolate pooed while meeting us.

Family photo taking session with Chocolate:

Got to stroke Chocolate too:

Dinner time:

Then tent pitching:

Daddy was the fastest in tent pitching, well done!
This will be our home for the night.

Lesson time: Meet the specimen owl and know more about them.

Seeing the real owls in World of Darkness:

Campfire in air con room, shiok!
Sang songs and played charade and pinata.

Sleeping time. Our inflatable mattresses in use again. Mattresses for the mummy and Vincy.

Daddy and Clarence using sleeping bag. However, it was very cold in the air con penguin enclosure so in the end, Daddy's sleeping bag was stolen away by us as blanket.

Some shots with the penguins before turning in.

The kids slept well but Daddy and Mummy could not really sleep well cos it was too cold and bright in the Penguin Coast. Wonder why the lights in the Penguin Coast was not turned off at night?
No complaints cos it was already very comfortable (with air con) as compared to the Zoo camp they went to last year where they had to sleep in the hot and humid weather in the open.
