My owls, 4


Our lunar new year is just round the corner. There seem to be a lot to do but nothing is really much completed. We will buy new clothes , spring cleaning, makes cookies, invites relative and friends to our house, and most important have a reunion dinner too.

I started to sew my clothes as i wanted something simple, comfortable , light and owls......

I had bought 2 pieces of owls printed silk, but managed to sew one piece only.



My owls cabinet need to be cleaned too. There are 7 shelves and double side. I planned to do one shelf each day. Each time I cleaned I would take my own sweet times, memories will starts to flow in .......

Windsor Nature Park


12/08/2017  Saturday
We started late., so we had lunch instead. We are planning a trip to Japan, hence we are both excited to try the ramen locally and do some warming up for our future trip. The unfriendly weather began to drizzle just as we set off for lunch. It's going to be an hour journey, we cross our fingers that it will stopped by then. Rains in Singapore come and go quickly sometimes.


press the bell when you are ready to order. simple, friendly.

I remembered falling inl ove with this while my holiday in Japan.
 I have yet to find something compatable here, wonder if it's because it's holiday mood, everything seem better? Hmm....

happy : the soup base is really delicious! I had the spicy one yesterday, also as delicious. Most importantly, i wont not get thirsty though I finished the soup on both days.

Beautiful display


The weather wasn't friendly at all. Now, it started to pour suddenly when we arrived our destination!
We waited a while. Once the rain is smaller, we proceed to walk, and we have no regrets, in fact it was such a cooling afternoon.Totally enjoyed it!!

not Autumn, but it's a lovely orange anyway.






According to our Npark's report - Freshwater Streams
The freshwater streams at Windsor are rich in biodiversity. The forest effectively cleans the water that enters it through a natural filtration process carried out by the root system of plants and the various layers of soils in the forest floor. The resulting water is free from impurities and sediments, allowing the flora and fauna in the area to thrive.

it's purple! I can't miss it!




We didn't manage to spot any squirrel, but lots of birds singing if you slow down and listen.
Enjoy the tranquility . People should learn to speak softer then all will be perfect.
