Love in Nature
One thing I love to do with hubs is to explore the nature together. Quality time when we can enjoy the feeling of quiet bonding as we walked through the lush vegetation marveled at the wonders of nature. Sometimes we will talk what's life will be like in 3-5 years times, sometimes we will talk about the daily mad rush, if not we will just enjoy the silence and accompany.
GKGW
Serving in sunday school seemed to be preparing me for parenthood. Last weekend, I attended the GKGW ( Growing.Kids.God. Way) workshop for the minstry workers and was totally thrown off the chair after hearing what the speaker had shared with us. At different parts of the workshop, i felt my values and principles of raising a kid different from what the underlying principals of the parenting strategm,something that kept me reflecting and wrestling within myself throughout the session. After the session, I couldn't contain and call my hubs and said," I can't be the disciplinarian!You have to be one.If not, i think i will end up crying in the room after i cane our child." :)
This weekend, a parenting course is opened for couples who are preparing to conceive. Great timing. Hubs and I thought it would be a good idea to sign up to gather some thoughts on our parenting style and ways to raise the kids in god's way. We did. Paid $25 and the saturdays afternoon in 2010 were booked.
Look pretty scary now as I see how calendar in Jan 2010 are filling up really fast!

Family cycles at ECP
SO during the Haji weekend, I had a great time hanging out with my daddy and brother at East Coast Park.We started the day off with dim sum at Tung Lok East Coast with my in-laws.Much to my dismay, it wasn't fantastic and everyone wasn't really enjoying it.I don't think we will go back again as I think there are better tim sum places around.
HOwever, things got better as we hit off the roads with the bikes.The purpose of this gathering was to engage my dad and in-laws to a more active lifestyle. In-laws were not really keen ( blame my husband for not giving them enough encouragement:P)so they went off after a short while of lingering in the park.Dad on the contrary was pretty fun-loving. My eyes litted up when I saw both my brother and him having silly fun over the tandem bike. What an adorable sight looking at two big men on the bike weaving through the ECP crowd. My dad's smiles and refreshing look made me happy.It had been a long time since he had such relaxing fun from his work. I hope he would get to do more of these in the future with us.Besides that, my niece and nephew joined us as well. It was nice having a bonding time with my niece as we cycled alongside each other and chatted. I love such times together with my family.
This weekend, hubs decided to organize another similar event for his family.So we took leave on Friday. His sisters, nephew and nieces were all there. We took a leisure ride along the coast as well. His nieces ought to come out more for outdoor play. They were so cautious and frightened on a four wheeled bike!!! Fortunately after much encouragement, they began to be more confident and adventurous. In laws managed to cycle for like a few minutes and gave up on the tandem bike.The day ended with a good spread of hawker food at the East Coast Seafood centre. The kids were tired but mentioned to the parents that they had great fun. I just saw their facebook message that they had fun.
Outdoor play and fresh air are always good for everyone!
