Back To Nature

It has been a dream to have a picnic in a park but somehow it’s too hot to have one in Singapore. We are happy we will be able to fulfill this dream of ours today.

We arrived at Kings Park this beautiful sunny morning and it was really nice to walk around the park with a lovely view. Both elderly and kids were happy to be back to nature where they can feel the grass and check out the different types of plants in the park.

We sort of had short lessons on the surroundings as we walked through the park. We showed them different plants and many are those which you can only find in Australia. It was pretty much interesting for the kids and I do hope they learn something today.

We prepared food such as bee hoon, sandwiches and snacks for our picnic at the park. It was a sunny day indeed and as we were entering the park, I was amazed that I bumped into my ex-colleague Gerald & his family who were there on holidays too. We managed to catch up a little and I had to help prepare for our family picnic.

The park was really beautiful and quiet except for some very disturbing crows that were eyeing on our food. We tried to chase them away but they were kind of persistent. Overall, it was manageable and we had our food cleared up within half an hour. The kids were off to play at the swing, the sand and the slides after their lunch while the elderly were resting under the shade with a cup of hot coffee. It was such a beautiful bonding session with the family and I think it’s great to have this experience together.

After spending almost half the day at the park, we set off for some shopping since we are back in Perth. We headed to the shopping mall near our house and spent about 2 hours shopping while hubby went grocery shopping with the elderly instead.

We headed home after quite a long day out and we prepared the dishes for our steamboat dinner tonight. We were really happy that the family had such a great time doing things together which is a rare occasion back home.
