Our Sweetie Piyobabies: Nature

I am such an ironical hypocrite who can't make up her mind at most times. Part of me is always about close to nature, catching some sun, catching fresh air amid greens. However I do not always practice what I preach simply because I am so not an outdoor person, prefer to stay out of the dark for fear of tan skin and perspiring is not my cup of tea. In theory of course it's good to have but in reality, it hardly happen.

The last walk we took in the park was ages ago and it is not even in the morning, evening walk that it. Honestly I do prefer evening walk as there will not be glaring sun, blasting heat and purely we are not very morning people thus evening translate to no rush and much more do-able. But hey we do need Vit D right, to build up our immunity a little and it does them no harm to perspire at times.

And so one of the sunday morning few weeks back, we try our very best to be up slightly earlier than usual, try to settle breakfast fast and try to get out of the house fast. We did it! BUT it was not that early after all, arriving at the park close to 11am. This time round we decide to explore the other side of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio park instead. From the carpark entrance, we were only greeted by a group of foreign workers playing baseball. Nonetheless we went on to unloading the stroller, bicycle and us included.

The sight of a water park brighten us up immediately but we thought to explore the park a little first before settling for water play, maybe yes maybe not as there is no spare change of clothes. We took a long walk around the whole park with Zethan in his tricycle and Zelyn bravely walking along, well she rejected the stroller. Tried to take some photos of her but it is so frustrating to have a model who looked everywhere else but my phone. We managed to coax her into her stroller before completing the other half of the park back to the water play.

Did not appear to be a good idea for some water play as the sun is really bright and the heat is getting unbearable. Still I allowed them, how could I bear to disappoint them being shown the water park yet exclaiming we will come another day again. It's as cruel as offering candy to the kids and taking it away at once. Despite melting under the hot sun (refering to me), both kids who are water babies was giggling non stop so the priceless innocent smiles they wear is more than worthwhile. We had about 30 minutes of fun at the water park before it get too scorching hot and unwise to stay under the sun. Had to nag and nag non-stop not to wet themselves but in vain, Zelyn is still all wet.

Exactly it is just a very simple water park with some meandering little canals for children to waddle in and a mini jacuzzi water feature which the meanders branch out from. One interesting feature is a little metal gate at certain juncture of the meander that act like a dam offering some science education for the older children to understand how does a dam works. You can catch a glimpse at part of the dam at the photo of Zelyn attached below.
