Family Hangouts

Just visited the Singapore Biennale 2008 today,this is the 2nd Edition (1st Edition is in 2006) but it's our very first visit actually :)

We rarely visit Art Exhibitions but some of the visual arts exhibits are interesting and appealing. This 2nd Edition also includes the first Kids' Biennale which is really really beautiful.There are about 5/6 rooms of exhibits for the children and by the children (featuring children's artworks). Aha, JX is more interested in the toy train in the IKEA playroom (see picture).


On Children's Day,we went to the airport and discovered new playthings at T3: an interactive "lights" game and a "Scratch Board". Anyway, JX still enjoys playing on the slide at Budget Terminal.


Great family time!! Check these out!!!

Magazines on Parenting




Can't hide my excitement,I went past an Indian Mama shop in Clementi today (I mean yesterday as it's past midnight) and spotted 2 Parenting magazines which are fabulous!! You may have read them before but just to share:


(1) Kid's Health Guide ($6)/ http://absolutelyparents.com

(2) Singapore's Child ($3.50) (it has information about early education)

Life-long learners,well, we're learning now as our children grows up in different stages,take a look! Or if anyone's interested to take a look,I'll bring it to school.


(ps this is one of my favourite photos,of course,he looks more different now......)
