1 Sept 2008, being Teachers' Day was a school closure day for Rui's childcare centre. Momma decided to take the day off to rest and be with the girls.
One of the very few benefits of being employed is the use of corporate passes to places of interest. Momma managed to get hold of one to Jurong Bird Park and therefore the girls get their first outing to the Jurong Bird Park. Hay Hay and Aunt XF came along too as Hay Hay had enjoyed his recent trip to the park.
The party set off at around 10am. We managed to catch the entertaining Bird Show where the birds did stunts such as play basketball, sing songs and fly through hoola hoops! The birds proved to be more skilful and entertaining than some of us human beings (remember Spore Idol?)
The children were excited from the show. Especially Yan who was going "Bird Bird" each time a bird swooped past our heads. Momma was tickled by Yan's hilarious reaction.
After the show, we walked around the park. It is not a big park but with 3 kids in tow, the mummies and auntie narti were starting to feel tired. It was an interesting tour though. We saw eagles, vultures, penguins, casswories and ostriches, to name a few. The most interesting station was the Lory Loft, where you get to feed the lories as they fly among the midst of tourists. Rui rui was beginning to feel tired and hungry though (and so did momma) and so we cut short our tour and headed out for lunch.
In the car, the 2 younger ones (yan and hay) were quiet and dozing off. Rui however suddenly came alive once again and was singing away. Funny, we thought. Guess Rui's interest is not in birds and nature.
As true blue singaporean, momma felt it necessary to do a calculation of the amount of savings as a result of the corporate pass. Total savings = $18X4 = $72!
Three cheers to corporate passes!
