Uniquely Singapore-Day 6

Singapore Zoo-a beautiful and quite a complete experience of animals and plants.

The zoo lets us actually watch the animals out of cages and in their chosen areas of living. ‘Fragile forest’ was THE BEST part of the zoo.The bats, birds, monkeys of different species living together completely in harmony and butterflies adding beauty to this man-made forest-lots of fun!The Elephants of Asia show was very cute and well done with not only the work and play display by elephants but also explaining to the spectators what type of commands are given to the elephants by the mahuts.
Snakes were all kept in glass boxes and there were quite a variety ,the main ones being the cobras, pythons and green snakes.There is a cat country that tell us the differences between the leopards and the cheetahs and also have the white tiger, lions and jaguars.
White rinos, hippos, Gnus, Camels,Girraffes ,Oryx, Giant Tortoises, Meerkuts, Iguanas and Otters—all worth the time ,lovely to spend time just watching them move.We also got to see the Penguins here, sea lions and this new animal, to my knowledge, Manattes.Very large sea mammals,never saw them on the land for even a second-they resemble the sea lions.Another new discovery is Proboscis monkeys that what a very different nose compared to the normal monkey noses.They have a sort of extra growth on top which makes them easy to distinguish .
A wonders of the wild show was conducted with Orang-Utans, Sea lions ,Pythons and Baboons.This show was quite good too.The Tropical Crops plantation is a huge display of flowers, fruits and vegetables-a walk through this garden is soothing to the eyes as it faces the lake too!

Very well maintained and quite a blessing in this present industrial life!

Rare Snow day! 01/10/2021

 After a grilling 2020, 2021 started out with a mixture of emotions - grim but hopeful, distant from family but long WhatsApp calls, rainy but looking forward to the sunshine in the coming days. A lot of R&R is how we started our New Years, thanks to the long weekend. We read, watched tv, cooked and slept a lot!  Once work started, it didn't even feel very different from the past few weeks. Unfortunately a few days into the first working week, there was chaos in the DC Capitol and many State Capitols. A riot started by an infuriating and possibly out-of-work men and women wanting to display their passionate support of an incapable President. Back to feeling uncertain and grim about the future, we were surprised by Mother Nature providing us a rare snow fall day here in Austin, TX! It was simply amazing and a great 2nd Sunday of the year where we got 3.5-4 inches of snow ! The sights were remarkable during and after the snow fall. The entire city and neighbors were thrilled...

On to the next chapter of life

This post is a long time coming... I don't need to give any excuses though, I am a new mommy after all! After all that baking, my munchkin arrived on 20th September 2013...yes very much on time baby! The first 5 days were extremely stressful as my precious one was under monitoring in NICU, which meant I didn't have the luck of holding him close to me in the first few hours and also a lot of separation due to us being in different rooms...it was certainly difficult. But as far as I recall I didn't cry at all since he was doing great and was perfectly healthy. He confused the doctors with his heart pattern in the first 2 hours of his life and then came back to normal on his own. I strongly believe he didn't take labor process well and certainly not the pushing part... poor little baby. After we got clearance from all his tests (God is great!) ; we were allowed to take him home. It was a feeling beyond words, a realization of how lucky we all were as a family and with...
