Our home at Ruby Resort.
 The moment I stepped in, I felt so calm instantly. Here is why partly : 

En caught a butterfly with her net. 

Kite making.

Kite- flying

Training a cat to hop over an obstacle.

Shower in the open space.

Most shells have an occupant.

The clarity of the east coast sea.

She requested to go in the year end, during the monsoon where the wave is rougher.

Making mud pies.

Napping.

Observing the trail of a hermit crab.

Running after a crab and watched it disappeared into a hole.

I couldn't capture the starry night. 


12 other families joined us.

The squid squirted black ink when it was poke at. 

Someone caught a weird-looking blue jelly fish.

The sight is common at east coast according to T.
It was my first encounter despite being at east coast numerous of times.

A poisonous snake slithering by.


Dad caught sight of a a green turtle returning to the sea while jogging early in the morning. 
If you see one, please do not stand in its way as this will distress the turtle. Please also switch off your camera flash.

A short training ensued after the briefing.

Singapore National Museum 20 April 2012

The majestic Singapore National Museum. 

When we looked up the dome, beautiful stained glass greeted us.

There are four galleries on the 1st floor, which are food, fashion, photography and drawing.

Fashion gallery showcase fashion of yesteryear in Singapore.

This I captured from the Food Gallery, char kway teow used to be wrapped with banana leaves.

A photo from the photography gallery. The bridal bouquet had long vines that touched the ground.

We were provided with a headset and gadget to view the Singapore Living History at ground floor. It provides us information in auditory and visual form when we keyed in the number depicted at the exhibits.

Funeral procession of the olden days.

An alley of the past.


We love the museum and can't finish viewing everything within 1.5 hour. The only drawback is, price of the food at the museum is pretty steep.
