We went to shao mu, Bollywood and celebrating mama's advanced bday!

Since Ian's well and we could join the Chng clan to shao mu this early morning (to beat the shao mu crowd) and we were early (before the rest) so we bought a bouquet of flowers for a dear friend of mama and daddy...its been 5 yrs and we are still feeling sorrowful over the loss of this dear friend and visiting his tomb brings back a lot of memories....guess Ian doesn't understand when we said this is a friend of mama and daddy but sure to bring him back again...somehow the lawn cemetry just seems so much 'neater' than the rest...anw we joined the family to visit our grandparents (ie Ian's great grand parents) tomb and its been the 2nd time Ian's visiting them and its been a family tradition to lay flowers during the Gd Fri season....
Since we were ard that area so we dropped by the 'infamous' Bollywood...heard so much abt it and well they have a wide variety of the plants there and it was time for the kids(and also us) to know more abt the different plants....glad the old folks could join us for the visit tho its a little too hot since the sun was really scorching hot!

Here is 1 of the trees we have found out abt.....being in BSF for some mths, we learnt abt Nicodemus meeting the Lord under this tree and the fig tree has often been mentioned in the bible so we took a shot under the tree =) hehee can show Ian when he's older that he's been under a fig tree before =)

Then we adjourned to town for lunch (so as to meet jiu2 and Aunty Lorraine as well) at Bugis swensen's and here's us taking a pic with the ice-cream cake which we have ordered since being member has 20% disc =) and Ian has asked for a blue balloon and he's most proud of it tho its just adding to our balloon collection back at home....just a reminder that its nice to have family together to celebrate good times and bad times as we never know how many more yrs we have to spend together as a family...just some thots after visiting the tombs....haaaiiizzzz or maybe maama's just growing OLD!
