VISIT the beautiful SINGAPORE BOTANICAL GARDENS. Enjoy the lush greenery and fresh air. Take in the gorgeous view of the swan lake. just make sure to bring earmuffs along.

Yup. Today I accompanied the primary ones to the botanical garden! Oh what fun I thought. Turns out it was tiring too.

The children as usual were overly friendly, saying hello and hi to EVERY SINGLE person they saw at the gardens. I'm serious. And the caucasians were the ones who responded. NEVER the locals. I just smiled though. It was cute!

HOWEVER, they were loud and threw stones around. Had to tell them off. Furthermore, when they saw dogs, they ALL went barking. But the excitement was so infectious! They truly know how to appreciate nature. Okay, so most of them. They all scrambled t0 see the spider's web and kept looking out for spiders. They saw a terrapin and being kids, they called it a turtle. And they shouted excitely when they spotted the koi too. I think someone abandoned them there. Poor creatures...

Oh and the cute red squirrel.

Someone took their wedding photographs at the gardens. :)

However, my personal quest to find the 500 year old tembusu fell through. Couldn't find it but at least i saw the huge swans.

However, had to scold one or two who didn't listen to instructions or were difficult to handle. Really! Three of them wore their raincoats in the bloody hot weather and refused to take it off. Had to force them to do so. Sigh, I wonder what was going on in their heads! Maybe they wanted to show off? Hmm...

And their drawings were so cute! (and barely recognisable). haha :P

Truly, the trip was refreshing and brought out the inner child in me briefly. Hey, I can't let loose because if I do, who knows what will happen?! I mean if they can leave their bags, caps, pencil cases and worksheets behind, why can't they leave themselves too? *shudders*

Yup. On return, I had to return their books to those who left it in the office. They weren't allowed to bring it along to the trip. Good thinking. But now, we have a set of boy and girl uniform. -_-

So yeah, to anyone who were offended by my kids, sorry!
