An experimental Weekend

Another rainy weekend, no beach activities or whatsoever, so we did an experiment instead.
We bought some red cabbage (it's actually purple in colour)
Want to show that the purple pigment can be extracted and it's alkaline in nature. So if you add some vinegar (acidic) it changes colour... (hehee... too chim for son's "Show and Tell")

Breaking the cabbage into smaller parts and add some water.

Add some heat...

Water changes colour...

And it's purple! (in a white plastic cup)

Add some acid, it will change it's colour...

Well, i doubt the kids understand what is happening, at least they enjoyed the tearing of the cabbage into pieces and seeing the water changing it's colour.

hmm... see what we can do next week, CNY is coming, manybe some deco for the house?

This is xiao mei posing for a pic while doing the experiment... hehee...

Bottle Tree Park on 20/1/07

Weekend is over just like that...


This is something different... Have been to the Bottle Tree Village a few times, this time is Bottle Tree Park!



Bottle Tree is usually found in Australia. Bottle Tree Village boss shipped some over and planted in Singapore, so we can find some here...


This is Bottle Tree... (It looks like a bottle, izn't it?)

This is another bottle tree found in the park.

Some flowers that you can find there...

Other parts of the park... looks good? (sigh... minus the MRT track at the back)



There is also a small pond for the kids to catch fish... Err... $10!
And the kids really enjoyed themselves...

A weekend...

It's another weekend again... Are we going to the park after breakky?

Well, looks like it is going to be a pancake breakky... yummy yummy... Er... lunch? music class @ 5pm and maybe dinner out?

Then comes Sunday, go mummy's place... anything new?

Hehee... to be continued...
