Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

One of the things I like about Singapore is that despite the fact that it’s a relatively small-sized country, it tries to preserve at least some of its greenery.

There are quite a number of preserved parks all around the island (click HERE to see the list of parks you can visit).

Last month we went to visit Pasir Ris Park, and this time round we visited Bukit Batok Nature Park!

I love the refreshing smell of the trees and the fact that we’re surrounded by so much greenery, away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

The kids squatted and observed little mushrooms growing on the side of the walkway. They watched squirrels running about and climbing on trees. They looked for turtles and monkeys too, but somehow they were no where to be seen today.

Wilson and I took our sandals off and tried walking about on the pebbled walk way too, which btw is a common form of exercise amongst the older generation, as the pressure on the feet promotes better blood circulation, or so they say. Whatever it is, I was cringing throughout! (and I guess that means I’m simply not fit?)

Anyway, there’s an area for sandplay and playground equipments there too!

The weather was cool and cloudy today, which made our trekking trip a lot more enjoyable.

We brought along our stroller and the kids took their turns and sat on it. Daddy carried whoever’s not on the stroller once in a while too, as and when they got tired from too much walking.

I must say, we parents might feel physically tired (from all that stroller-pushing and occasional carrying up and down the hilly walk), but it really was a refreshing day out!

Got to do this more regularly, I think!
