Jacob Ballas @ Botanic Garden


20 June 2012

Yes, we're back at Jacob Ballas.

We brought Eugeneway back in 2010, think he was too young then to really enjoy the place.

Got a couple of pics to compare from 2010 - got this idea from "Our Baby Of Love" blog.


He certainly doesn't look babyish anymore. Now he has the boy-boy look. 
















As you can see, he was petrified trying to climb up these stairs in the Tree-House.




We had dinner at "Food For Thought". This place is huge compared to their other joint at SAM@8Q.

This place is directly below the information counter at the Botanic Garden. It's at the basement carpark.



It good for large groups as they have big or long tables. I like that there are plants growing out of the tables.

There's also an outdoor playground for kids.

Children's Festival 2012

Hey, I'm back!

I've been battling the flu and then the persistent cough, that cough which dragged on for over a month! Coughed so bad that my upper chest was so painful and still is. Realised that a lot of people got it too.

Anyway, let's get on shall we?

SAM at 8Q

First up - lunch time.



Yummy! my favourite especially mushrooms (though it was a bit too salty)


All day breakfast at :
Food For Thought
8 Queen Street
(It's just right next to SAM@8Q)



EVERYDAY WONDERS


Given some plasticine and have to make patterns using paper clips and clothes pegs.

But Eugene started rolling the plasticines into little balls! ha ha ha......








Interesting patterns and little figurines and dinosaurs on the wall.








ACTIVITY ROOM

Colourful stamping with stencils.





REACTIVE WALL & LET'S DANCE

Reactive Wall : make some sound and see the characters comes up on screen. 

 Let's Dance : Go to a private booth and boogie! and then watch your moves projected onto the screen.









DRESS ME UP








THE ART OF IMAGINATION

Draw on the cardboard box.

And that's a cat that he drew - a sad cat, he said.







now the alphabets..........






We bought one of this empty cardboard box for Eugene to draw at home.



5QUID 7 GROW THE GARDEN IN THE DARK

Speak into the microphone to get the squid all lighted up!





SINGAPORE ART MUSEUM

Hopped over to the Singapore Art Museum to have a look since the tickets to the SAM @ 8Q were  also valid for the Art Museum.















********************************








I wish that they'll hold the Childrens' Festival at the Singapore Art Museum instead of the SAM@8Q.

SAM@8Q, to me seemed so bare and like a warehouse. There ain't no ambience at all.

So please bring it to the Singapore Art Museum for next year !

Overlapped Parallel Dimension?

Ok, I've told you before of my experiences with "Parallel Dimensions".

And now, I've recently got another experience which was a first for me.


My father accidentally dropped his denture and wanted me to find a dentist to glue it back for him. Since it was evening, I told him that I'll go and inquire with the 2 dental clinics near my place the next morning.. And the whole night, I was thinking where are the other dental clinics (besides the 2 that I know of) which I can inquire.

Early the next morning, my dad called me on my mobile even though I was at home. He thought that I should be out of the house as it's usually the time that I bring Eugene to school but Eugene's holiday programme starts later.

Anyway, my dad told me that he would prefer to go back to the National Dental Centre as they have his records there and he likes the doctor.

I asked my dad to check his NDC appointment card and to give me the telephone number stated there.

After hanging up the mobile. I immediately went to get my house's cordless phone but before I could dial the numbers, the phone rang.

Hmm.... who could it be? so early!

Hello?

Good morning, I'm calling from the National Dental Centre and I'm returning your call.

????????? I was dumbfounded. I wanted to ask her questions but I thought since she's on the line, I get my dad's appointment fixed first.

After the appointment's being fixed. I asked the lady.

Er... you called me, you're returning my call?

Yes, we got your missed call.

Oh, ok thanks - I didn't want to ask more or she'll think I'm crazy.


I never did call the NDC, so how could she have a missed call from me?

I thought that maybe my dad called NDC and left a message for them to call me? but why should he do that when he wanted me to call NDC instead.
My dad's is hard of hearing due to the chemos so I do all his apppointments as he would not be able to hear very clear what the other party is saying in normal tone. I practically have to shout in order for my dad to hear me over the phone.

Anyway, I asked him if he did call NDC but he said no.




Now the NDC lady said it's missed call, not left a message - so the missed call number is my house number and that's how she called me at home.


Did my thinking hard about it, my subconscious mind made it happened?

or was it my parallel self in the parallel dimension who had already made the call and somehow at that moment, both of our dimension happened to overlap resulting in me receiving the phone call from NDC in my dimension when it should have been received in the parallel dimension?
