It's one of those rare Sundays when the family decided to eat out... by that I don't mean eating at some fanciful restaurants. It was more bringing finger food, canned sardines, bread, fruits to the park. The occasion this time was simply to fly kites at the nearby empty field in Sengkang. The early evening sky was peppered with kites of all patterns and sizes. Very quickly the children pulled out their kites in the shapes of mermaid, zebra and spiderman and with the aid of the wind, could set the kites off very quickly.
The colours of the evening skies provided fantastic lighting to amateur photographers such as us. In fact I must say Lydia took some pretty great shots, considering that she is even more unfamiliar with the camera than I. What amazes me is how little it takes to satisfy the children - an empty field, simple kites, ground sheets, simple meal --and all these spelt FUN for them! As adults, we were more concerned about whether the children have put on their mosquito patches, whether they are wearing proper footwear (didn't want mud on ground sheets!); whether there's water to wash their hands prior to them touching foot... geez... with more knowledge and awareness, we become great worriers!
I am glad that we were able to pull the entire extended family (22 of us) out to the field and have about 3 great hours of fun. Will have to do this more often...
