Merry Christmas from Australia !!

Yes I am so useless with this blog.  Merry Christmas from Tasmania, Australia !!

Halloween

Oh my goodness, this post was supposed to be up months ago !! Jacob's first halloween in Sommerville Park. We are super lucky to live in Sommerville Park. It's an expat area so there's a huge mix of foreigners hence we celebrate lots of special days here. I have grown up trick or treating and I wanted my son to get the same experience. Now the costume was the tricky part; Singapore is so hot, and Jacob hates anything strapped on, or slung over him, or anything on his head. So no headpieces/hats. In the end, after searching for weeks, we found the costume at home! It was my brothers old space robot costume from his kindergarten  performance! And it fit jacob perfectly :) Best thing about it, it was airy, loose, not too long, it was as simple as slipping it over his singlet and shorts.

So at 6pm, when we were looking down and saw heaps of witches wizards and all sorts of magical creatures gathering downstairs, we hurried down for the free ice cream and pop corn and started round the estate. Halloween is always a sight to see, with kids running from door to door and the echo of 'trick or treat' coming from all corners. The estate is absolutely huge, so you can get bags & bags of candy. But Jacob being so little, we didnt go too far, just enough for him to have 3/4 of his pumpkin bucket full, and home we went. I may be 25 and a mother now. But I still adore Halloween <3 <3

Picnic at Perth Park

Missing Launceston's beautiful scenery and weather. This was from some time last year that we took a walk down to the park near Perth river and it was absolutely wonderful. Singapore is fantastic with it's city life and multitude of things to do. But it lacks natural beauty and calm peaceful locations. We had a beautiful time, even found a home made bong which someone had stashed among tree roots. That's something your never gonna come across in Singapore lol.
