Simple Activity, Immense Pleasure - Kite Flying

         

Thanks to 25hourmaid, she really motivates us to try kite-flying in present time.  I used to make kites with my siblings eons ago and flew it from our 6-storey high HDB (first generation flats without lifts type) from our kitchen window.  It was a great time for me to bond with my siblings as I hardly played with them due to a wide age gap except during such moments.  I remembered fondly that we used to draw pictures on the kites but most of our kites were oblong in shape, easy to make, thread and fly in minutes.  Everything was simple yet pleasurable.

Camping Tips

The school holidays are here once again. It’s time to hit the great outdoors for our kids to experience some fresh air and special activities. Camping by the beach is one of them. Sharing some tried and tested tips on Camping. I am no expert in camping, but thought I would just share some tips from years of experience in camping during the school holidays or over long weekends with our two boys.
 
Tent
 
Always buy a tent that is much bigger than the number of family members you have. Eg, do not buy a 4-men tent just because there are only 4 of you in the family. Buy a tent that is so-called at least 2 size bigger.

West Coast Park Adventure Playground

It all started with a trip to Mc Donald's at West Coast for brunch. DS was eyeing a brightly coloured playground as he chomp on his kid's meal as fast as he could and after that we braved the hot sun to check it out.


Turns out this is just one part of a very large adventure playground that really is a combination of  eight playgrounds targeted at different age groups.
