The Circle of Life

We saw the Lion King this weekend at Marina Bay Sands. It was an amazing show, the costumes were so clever and the music was a highlight. We checked out the rooftop bar for a drink afterwards and the views were amazing. The pool on the top of the hotel is slightly freaky though. We definitely want to stay there so we can go for a swim in it.

For Mother's Day I was spoiled with gifts and pancakes in the morning. I then could choose what I wanted to do so I though we'd head o the Mandai Orchid Gardens (the girls kept suggesting I might like to go to Universal Studios instead). When we got to the Orchid Garden it was closed for upgrading so we changed plans and went to Bollywood Vegies which is a working vegetable farm. The farm gardens were a welcome bit of countryside and we enjoyed a lovely lunch which used mainly food grown at the farm. A few fighter jets flew overhead occasionally but apart from that it was just the sounds of nature. We got stranded again as there were no taxis willing to go out to the countryside but after we'd walked a km down the road a tourist bus did stop and pick us up and took us to visit a goat farm before taking us to the train station. It always seems to work out in the end...

We've had a few drama's this weekend, probably stemming from the fact both girls are tired having had a very late night on Friday as they each had a sleepover. Felicity has decided to look after an egg and called it Egg-wina. The Egg has sadly had to be replaced twice and both incidents somehow involved Alice. There was also a 24 hours dispute over who owned a silly little green worm toy and who owned the orange one. Both wanted the orange one and both can remember being given it at Christmas. Mothers Day would be bliss if it wasn't for kids!
