Our second family trip during the school hols brought us to... Jurong Bird Park! Woohoo!
Yup, we renewed our 4-park annual pass and hope to make the most of it since it has really been long since we went to any of the parks.
That said, the hubby and I forgot to book the feeding sessions in advance and the kids were a tad disappointed when they realised these were already full when we arrived and had to give them a miss.
To make up for it, we queued up for the High Flyers show - the max capacity is 100pax so you have to go early - to make sure we could get seats and oh yeah, we got the best seats in the amphiteatre! Yay! All of us enjoyed the show immsensely, including the talking parrot Baobao that said "I love you", the colourful, magnificent macaws, the beautiful flamboyance of flamingos, Sunny the hornbill and more.
We then continued our Skechers Friendship Walk and made it for another 3km as we explored nearly the whole park on foot. So we were not intending to feed the birds, right? Somehow, with a stroke of luck, the kids spotted some sunflower seeds and mealworms on the ground so their highlight of the day was feeding these to the birds just before we left the park at 6pm. It was a reminder that good things come when you least expect them, that unexpected happiness can be the best and that joy can be found in the tiniest of things in life.
I remember holding the boy's hand as we walked in the rain that afternoon and he looked at me and said "Mama, this is so fun, right?" Indeed it was, my dear. Sometimes, all we need is a change in perspective to see the good in our lives.
Well, we have one last lap to walk tomorrow which I believe will take our total distance to over 10km, woohoo! Till more updates!
P.S. We went for Boon Lay nasi lemak after that which brought back fond memories of our NTU days for the hubby and I. Such a great way to end off the night, yay!

Hello Singapore Zoo, we are back!
Yup, it's been too long since we last saw our animal friends and the kids were definitely ecstatic to be able to set foot here again.
Talking about feet, we were all wearing our new kicks from @skecherssg because we were resolute to walk at least 5km that day. Yup, no pram, no tram, no carrying, just lots and lots of walking. I half expected at least one or two of them to kick up a fuss but surprisingly, all three kids displayed their determination and resilence and made it till the park closed with no complaints. Amazing!
I think the good weather, comfy shoes, lovely animals and having Papa with us made all the difference. We finished 5.1km and even made it for a nice Teochew porridge dinner and then home without anyone falling asleep on the long car ride. Woohoo!
This is how school holidays should be like and I think we kind of missed this feeling. Still, I am thankful to know that the parks have capped their capacity for now - remember to book your timeslot before you visit - and everyone was wearing masks and keeping a safe distance from each other.
We have planned a couple more family trips for this week and I am pretty sure we are all gonna have a blast. Yup, it's okay that we can't go overseas for now as long as we make time to be together as a family and do things that make us happy. Don't you agree?
P.S. Don't forget to sign up for the Skechers Friendship Walk if you have not! Swipe to the last pic to see what made the boy cry and why he came dashing up saying he was angry. Lol. #妈妈是属于我的 #爸爸让开 #myjealousboy

Happy start of the school holidays! Yippee! I am looking forward to having more family time in the upcoming week, how about you?
Well, we have walked over 5km in the past week and we are targetting to walk another 5km next week. Woohoo! That means we will achieve beyond our target for this year's Skechers Friendship Walk and we will continue to find time to walk, exercise and stay healthy as a family.
We are choosing to do most of our walking outdoor, especially in parks, because it is just such a blessing to be able to get close to nature and breathe in the fresh air in these precarious times when there are so many unknowns about what will happen next.
While the hubby and I are loving our GOwalk Smart shoes which are comfy and light, the kids are also very happy with their new kicks which they can't wait to put on every time we head out.
Ariel has on the Skechers Solar Fuse which has a colourful midsole detail and is soft and breathable due to the Skech Knit Mesh fabric. Angel chose the Shine Status in pink which comes with shiny metallic panels and combines comfort and sparkle. Asher loves his Solar Fuse - Speed Blitz which has an Air Cooled Memory Foam cushioned comfort insole. Guess what? All of their shoes are not just stylish and comfy but machine washable too - which is a big yay for me!
For those who are keen, you can join in the virtual walk this year by registering for free from now until 18 September at https://web.42race.com/race-bundle/skechersfw2020. You will receive a 30% GOwalk Series voucher when you sign up and a Buy 1 Get 1 Free voucher upon completion of the target distance of 3km, 5km or 10km from 7 to 20 September. Plus, you will stand a chance to win a year's supply of free shoes too. Let's all keep walking!
