Threading Jewellery Beads

We are enjoying more and more sessions of threading recently.We had such tremendous fun that we are finishing the beads up soon! 

We got these beads from both Daiso and Pasar Malam. Both sets comes with threads. We tried making bracelets from both sets. The thread from Daiso is much thinner and is not stretchable. Hence, the first bracelet we made fell into pieces when we tried stretching it. It is better to use it to make long necklaces, bag accessories and pencil case accessories. The set we bought from Pasar Malam contains stretchable thread and it is very suitable for making bracelets, 

Threading is not just fun, it is good for motor skills development and pattern sequencing. Best of all, you can display what you created! For my case, cheap accessories for Little One. :P

The Forgotten Reservoir

Keppel Hill has become a new place for exploration ever since the discovery of an abandoned and forgotten private reservoir (also known as Keppel Hill reservoir) dating back to 1905 made the news after it has been discovered by the National Heritage Board (NHB). This reservoir is located in the Mount Faber forest and is not marked in local maps since 2000 .  It served as a source of water for the Tanjong Pagar Dock Company, which was the forerunner of today's Port of Singapore Authority.

I love exploring such places especially one that has a long history. I knew my husband would never go to these forests and for safety reasons, I can't go alone either. Hence, when I saw that there would be a free guided tour to the forgotten reservoir, I immediately signed up for it. It would also be nice to hear more history of the place from the tour itself.
