It's McDonalds Again!

hey folks!
have you tried McDonald's latest burger?- NASI LEMAK! I know it has lots of mixed reviews about how the sambal chilli is not spicy enough or the taste of nasi lemak is not being brought out strong enough, or simply that it was too hyped up as it was totally sold out in some outlets.

BUT!
i really like it! I like it that it taste like nasi lemak to me. Love the tender chicken and fried egg, topped with chilli sambal, crunchy cucumbers...and I'm not a fan of bandung (rose syrup) but this time round, frizzy bandung actually worked for me!!!

the coconut pie is a hit and miss. I don't think it's very "singaporean"....perhaps durian pie might be more of a local flavour?

well all in all, i thought it was a really great idea that food outlets are introducing all these local dishes because of the approaching National Day! Hope this gets to happen annually and I really look forward to creative foods like these!

Jade // 7 months old photos that didn't quite make the cut

it's those moments of wanting the baby to sit still but it's just never gonna happen!

Expected photos versus the reality photos. But I'm glad some turned out pretty well and they are just too cute to just keep them to myself...so here I am, a proud mummy showing all the unglam, happy and funny shots of Jade.

Love this "blur" look that Jade has on her face

Jules and James - Playing with Lego

The boys has gradually migrated from Duplo to Lego with much resistance....because they found building with Duplo is much faster and they love all the special parts which they have with their duplo sets like the digger, scoop, shovel, wheels etc.

James Excursion to Hay Diaries

This semester, at St James Kindergarten, the school is covering animals and particular farm animals. So to bring the class closer to what farm animals look like, their school excursion was to Hay Diaries at Lim Chu Kang. Hay Dairies is the only goat farm in Singapore since 1988.

here the kids are taught where milk is produced and not just cows give milk but goats too. And they are given first hand on how to feed goats, caring through patting the animals and well visually educated since you don't get to see farm animals on a daily basis.

Staycation at Marina Bay Sands - Swimming pool

Jade's first dip in Marina Bay Sands Swimming pool. As always, this infinity edge pool is swarmed with visitors and guests. The view here is awesome and everyone here just wants a picture of themselves against the beautiful city skyline of Singapore.

The last 2 times when we were here, Jade was still too small to go for a dip. Now that she has turned 6 months and had her jabs, it's time for her to give it a try! - To infinity and Beyond!

At first she was a bit hesitant as the waters was quite cold even though it was 4pm in the afternoon. Jade wrapped her arms tightly around my neck. But after awhile, she got accustomed to the lukewarm waters and started to have some fun as she see both her brothers were splashing waters around. Her 2 brothers were goofing around as usual....

 there's a kiddy pool here with a view out too but with a full height glass barrier.

The waters here are warmer but it's super crowded with children and some kids love to jump into the pool directly, causing such big splashes onto others.

Our last dip...in the super hot jacuzzi. Jade was getting quite cold with the pool waters, so we brought her here to warm up a little. She was so warm and cozy that she fell asleep!
