weekend snapshot

To my regular readers, I apologize my blog has been offline for a few days now. Now it is back. Not that it makes any difference to the blogosphere but at least it gives me a chance to ‘cakap banyak’ ( talk crap ) :) :) :)

The school holidays has barely begun and i realize I have a problem. Benghui doesn’t know how to entertain himself neither is he creative enough to play imaginary games. When I was a kid I caught spiders, played with my marbles and used angsana and rubber seeds as toys. I am sure I will be able to find my old catapult somewhere if I look hard enough.

Anyway, being a weekend, I decided to bring the whole family to Kutien Park for a stroll. Benghui asked me to take this pic of a flower on the ground. I didn’t notice it. It was just one of possibly hundreds all over the place.

He found this ‘interesting’. I think I would probably walk three rounds before he finishes one round around the park. :(

Benghui : Daddy, those koko and che che ( brothers and sisters ) are picking up rubbish. Why are they doing that?
Daddy : Because they want to keep the place clean.
Benghui : When I grow up, I want to be like them. Care for the environment.
Daddy: ( in a state of shock over hearing him use the phrase care for the environment and not kiddy talk ) Your teacher taught you about the environment?
Benghui : I learned it from reading books. :)

I must make a point of making up a daily schedule of activities or he will drive his sitter and us crazy. If possible, I must persuade Mrs BB to relax her TV ruling and let the tv lord over the house again until the holidays are over.

    Great shots and it’s good that you son cares about the environment. Maybe if he likes to read that will help entertain him during the holidays. I do understand though how those holidays can stretch out with kids at home. My only child is grown up so those years are past for me.

    i am so glad to receive a visit from you Carver. A visit from u is always lika a visit from Photohunters Royalty :)
