With the opening of the newest garden, Lakeside Garden, among the Jurong Lake Gardens, I thought to make it our next biking destination. We had already completely toured the other two established gardens, the Chinese Garden and the Japanese Garden. Coupled with the arrival of Joshua's new ride we got online, it would have been nice exploring the whole place as a family. Except......
Sadly, despite being the most expensive of all our bicycles, Joshua somehow found it extremely difficult to cycle on it. He was lagging so far behind us that he had to ditch us and bring the bike home in a cab! *faint* Sooooo, I found myself having to watch over all four kids alone throughout the journey. Worse still, Joshua carried our water bottles in his bag. Horror of horrors! We were so dehydrated halfway through.
Thank God for a convenience store at the MRT station nearby where I could purchase isotonic drinks with Apple Pay since I didn't bring my wallet and only had my phone with me! I've never been so grateful for this new mode of payment. Hahaha...
Anyway, I totally underestimated the crowd at the garden, especially today being a public holiday. My eldest actually asked me whether we could go back there ONLY after the hype is over. ROFL I'm just glad that we could just breeze around on our bikes looking at the throngs of people from afar. Hee hee.
Now, we got to figure out what's wrong with the new bicycle....
