and here's the swiss ball fountain... the granite ball weighs 700kg and strong water pressure is used to keep it spinning.., and the spinning represents striving for excellence... hope valerie and daryl strike for excellence in their studies too... oh ya, where's nicky wor? poor him, down with flu and was grounded at home...

P1020842 P1020843

and the swan lake... by the name of it, we can assume seeing lotsa swans eh? i can only find 2 swans, and later only to find out that these two swans are from amsterdam and they are mute... anyway, the swans seems shy and hide at a small island in the center of the pond, so i just capture this... oh ya, i remembered being here when i was really really small... and my little bro fall into this lake and was rescued by my dad, as back then, wilson was even smaller and the pond seems so deep... we really got a fright...

P1020850

the pond is actually full of turtles and fishes swimming around...

P1020851

valerie and daryl then 'steal' some of megan's bread and started feeding the turtles and fishes... ghee, the pond still looking very deep wor...

P1020853

P1020858

and another popular bridal shot spot... the waterfall where you can walked behind it...

P1020868

and so i walked behind the waterfall and hey, can see megan and joelle outside the waterfall?

P1020871 

we didn't go into the orchid garden as it isn't free... and the drinks, ice-cream and finger foods are so darn expensive at the park... no wonder everyone's bring their own food and picnic on the spot...

P1020875

a few hours of walking, and the day's coming to an end... feeling so tired but feeling great to hang out a day, outdoor with the kids... going to KO soon... :P
