The only thing better than going to my happy place is going to my happy place with my little family.
And on this occasion, Cao Fei’s 浮槎 Fú Chá, the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission at the National Gallery of Singapore was finally working again. It is a multimedia installation, complete with movement, water, music, poetry. It was worth the wait.
It was thrilling to hear & see tide come in at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. We have visited several times before but never when the tide was coming in.
The feature photo leading this post is also from this visit, taken at the pond of the Junior Adventure Trail.
Nimble-handed Older Daughter was commissioned to craft chocolates for our friend’s birthday. I love these little people and their funny expressions; this is my favourite.
Happily, she made an excess, so I get to enjoy them too!
Another Small Pleasure is reading Gratefulness posts. This week I am encouraged by:
- Notes From The Hinterland‘s Friday Favourites: proofing her book, which is coming out next month. Yay, Laurie!!!!
- Thistles and Kiwis’ This Week’s Small Pleasures: for beautiful blooms, good food, drink & movie.
- Little Pieces of Me’s Grateful Fridays: enjoy your upcoming vacation.
- Journal of M the Dreamer‘s Gratefulness Project: she chooses Hope.
Thanks so much for mentioning my blog and my book. That little chocolate person is adorable.

If this is no longer there, there will be another exciting installation in its place! When was the last time you were in SIngapore?

Indeed – although she is my offspring, I have to say (with extreme modesty, of course) that she is extremely adept at creating beautiful & delicious things.
