Last weekend, I went for a walk with my child at a nearby disused granite quarry called “Little Guilin”. We pass it almost everyday and one day my girl asked me what that pool of water was… and the conversation got really interesting when I told her that her grandparents used to work there when the quarry first started out.
This trip was a fulfilment of a promise made at the end of that conversation… I had never been there myself, although I pass the place so very often.
The day wasn’t the bright beautiful weather that we all hoped for… otherwise, we would have gone swimming instead (another unfulfilled promise to a child). In fact, it looked as if it was threatening to rain but was overcast with a cool breeze.
We ventured around Little Guilin and the following series of pictures some up our trip – on the granite and wild life around.

A few days ago, a waterspout (see other photo here) about 50m wide was spotted in the east coast of SG. There were many reports, pictures, and photos on the online news community.
The pictures are not taken by me but from the news website:

Previously, I went to the Nature Reserve at Bt Timah, the tallest hill in SG. At the foot of the hill, you are greeted by monkeys as a welcome.
Unfortunately, the playground for the monkeys you see in the background is lost as they are now constructing private residential condominiums in its place.
Some things we lose for $$$…
Am I glad that I brought my kids to see these wild monkeys… I managed to keep my promise, as always.
