~ Rainy Saturday ~

2nd weekend with the kids alone...

Yesterday marks the last day of the 7th month. I did not pray this time because Hubby wasn't around.. Usually he is the one who manages these and I simply don't know how to. Today is the 1st day of the Lunar 8th month and 15 more days to go before Mid-Autumn Festival. Sadly, till now I still haven't eaten a single Mooncake!! :( The children also didn't have their Lanterns yet.

We woke up early in the morning and I took Denver to his swimming lesson. We walked and took Bus 82 to Hougang Swimming Complex. I start a conversation along the way with Denver that he needs to appreciate the things he have in life.. Comparing to the days when Daddy is around who will ferry him around in the car... to now taking the public transport everywhere we go. Also the other better things he have compared to the less fortunate.

It has been almost 2 years since Denver picked up swimming.. I am wondering when he can attain his Bronze certificate... Looking at the speed and progress he is going, I think it will take a couple of months more at least.

We were lucky to reach Bsil's house on time as it started to rain shortly and eventually almost the entire day! I took the children back home to stay for the next 2 nights (since its a long weekend). Felt "paiseh" to impose on Bsil for so long too...

Now I have to plan what to do for the next 2 days. Later in the evening, we walked to Rivervale Mall for dinner at the foodcourt, shopped around in Daiso and bought some bread home. We munched the bread on our way back as the sky started to turn dark again, drizzling..

It is a cooling day and night.. Nothing beats being back home again and of course being with the children. ^_^
