June has certainly whizzed by super fast. Today marks the start of the 2nd half of the year and the 3rd school term for the kids. It is back in school after a month long vacation  which saw them visiting many different places both locally and overseas. We went on a family holiday  and on separate holidays.  Tiger girl , R and me went of to Jeju island, Korea while the boys went with their grandparents on a plane, coach, ferry, train adventure to Kuala Lumpur, Perak, Ipoh, Penang and Langkawi in Malaysia.

I’m still sorting out the 1000+ photos that I took in Korea and will be posting them here on blog in the coming weeks. Meanwhile here are my highlights for the month of June.

6. It was the 2nd time that the boys tried out target shooting. We were unable to get together a big enough group or else I’m sure they would certainly enjoy a game of paintball.

Weekend Reflection: Father and Daugther Bonding

Last week has been a father and daughter bonding week. R took a whole week off work to spend time with Tiger girl and me in Korea. The boys were off on their own holiday to Langkawi  and other places in Malaysia with their grandparents.

The little girl was really excited to have her daddy around her as he has been flying a lot lately due to work commitments. She loves having him around to play with her and give her piggy back rides when she gets tired walking.

Tiger girl is really Daddy’s #1 heart breaker. Each time he goes off on a work assignment  his FB status would reflect that he is missing his daughter instead of his wife and sons too- tsk!!Tsk!!

Tiger girl is happy just to sit next to him and have a rest when she gets tired or R gets tired carrying her around.

It is great to see father and daughter enjoying themselves spending time together. I hope that they be able to have more such bonding trips in years to come.
