Looking at these pics, I can see the uncanny resemblance and I feel like I am in a time tunnel, looking at myself as if I am my father from a couple of decades ago.</div>

I am unable to explain the weird epiphany I had that day, but I guess when the older folks kept encouraging the married couples to have kids of their own, this kinda explains why.</div>

<br />
Alone at 12 midnight in the <a href="http://photo.farbird.com/search/label/peirce" target="_bla2nk">Lower Peirce Trail</a> sure reminds me of the good ol' army days.<br />
<br />
Somehow, there was no fear, despite all the weird noises the secondary jungle was making.<br />
<br />
The only fear was of the weather.<br />
Because rain will definitely put a stop to my late night outing with the critters.<br />

</div>
My children were born on an island.<br>
But they have no idea what island living is all about.<br>
<br>
So on this particular Saturday morning, I brought them to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulau_Ubin" target="_blank">Pulau Ubin</a>.<br>
<br>
They had their share of sun, sand, sea, jungles, tracks, insects, crabs, mudskippers, mangroves,wild boars and did I mention sun?<br>
<br>
And they said they didn't want to go back there ever again..<br>
<br>
/me faints.<br>

<br>
Isabel wanted to try those coaster rides but was denied because of her height.<br>
In the end, all of us went kiddy rides with her.<br>
<br>
Can see from her face that she wasn't too happy that day.<br>
<br>
I promised her to bring her to Universal Studios in Singapore once she is tall enough.<br>
<br>
This one is a dare-devil.. Don't play play...<br>

I must say that I was quite impressed with the accommodation and will refer this place to all my friends visiting Paris.<br>
<br>
The Metro Station was Place D'Italie and our residence was on top of a shopping mall that has its own supermarket (Carrefour) inside the mall.<br>
<br>
This was day 1 of our free and easy trip<br>

Armed with a DSLR and tripod, I wasn't just gonna take shoddy pictures of the famous Eiffel Tower and blame the poor lighting conditions and bite myself not coming back with sharp pictures of the Tour de Eiffel.<br />

</div>
It was our first long haul family trip and was just the 4 of us lugging suitcases full of winter wear to both Paris and London.<br />
<br />
Mrs Neo ( aka Christine Koh ) was in between jobs and we have a period whereby we could afford to visit these 2 countries.<br />
<br />
We managed to book the tickets at great prices at Emirates Airlines and transited at Dubai before arriving at Paris.<br />

<br>
We must have done more than 10km of walking that day.<br>
<br>
We started off our walk at Embankment station, crossed the Thames using the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Bridge,_London" target="_blank">Millenium Bridge</a>, saw the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Eye" target="_blank">London Eye</a> and it's extended queue, walked past the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Dungeon" target="_blank">London Dungeon</a>, cross the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Thames" target="_blank">Thames River</a> again to see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Ben" target="_blank">Big Ben</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Westminster" target="_blank">Westminster</a>.<br>
<br>
And just when we thought we can just hop on a <a href="https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/tube/" target="_blank">train</a> to go from Westminster station to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Bridge" target="_blank">London Bridge</a>, it turned out that several tube stations were closed due to maintenance and that made us walk the whole stretch from Westminster all the way across the station St James Park(closed that 2 weeks) to Victoria Station where we took the tube to London Bridge station.<br>
<br>
During the journey, we were either looking for cafes to use their toilets or just resting at bus stops to shelter our faces from the cold winds. We caught some fun while resting at this park near to Victoria station where the kids had a fun experience of chasing pigeons, seeing a whole bunch of them take flight, make a small loop and land again in the same area.<br>
<br>
Once we reached London Bridge station, we walked across the Thames and along it to reach the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_Bridge" target="_blank">Tower Bridge</a> and looped back to London Bridge via the opposite bank pedestrian pathways.<br>
<br>
Nate was so knackered that he started to make some unintelligible speech and was laughing to himself after realising it.<br>
<br>
It goes something like "OrChee Orr Orr".<br>
<br>
When we reached London Bridge station again after so much walking, the kids were so elated to see their mum at the Station. So tired we were, we just dined at a nearby takeaway shop.<br>
<br>
Quite a heavy day on foot for the kids but it was very memorable.<br>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 21px;"><b>Amaze and Awe of Nature by Tiny Eyes</b></u></div>
When we were younger, we are often amazed by tiny things seen by our tiny eyes.<br>
<br>
Perhaps it's the height and eye level of young children that makes them more observant about the flora and fauna around them.<br>
<br>
Or maybe it is because as we grow older, our eyes, together with our materialistic desires, are set to see only bigger things.<br>
<br>
As we eradicate more and more of our natural environment to build taller offices, condominiums and shopping malls that will awe the grown-ups, we tend to forget to leave some space for the younger generation.<br>
<br>
Space for them to be amazed by the simple things such as an eight legged spider weaving its web, a colony of ants building an anthill, a host of shield bugs huddling together under a leaf, a grasshopper molting away its old skin or watch a stick insect slowly revealing itself from its camouflage.<br>
<br>
While we had the chance to be amazed by the flora and fauna around us when we were younger, our next generation of children might not be able to experience the amazement of catching spiders, grasshoppers, butterflies and blowing dandelions.<br>
<br>
Conserve what little nature we have left, so the children can continue to be amazed the same way that we had been during our younger days.<br>
<br>
The pictures below were taken along Sungei Serangoon, on one of the Sengkang Park Connectors.<br>
