The kids and R

Over the weekend we brought the kids to Pasir Ris Park to cycle. The weather was superb that morning as it wasn’t too hot and there was a cool sea breeze blowing inland.

The kids have been asking to go cycling with their dad at the park and were thrilled when they were able to go. We had to hire the bicycles at the park as there isn’t enough space in our car to transport the kids and their bikes.

My happy bikers

We hired a bike with trainer wheels for Doggie boy as he has yet to learn a two wheeler as we don’t cycle that often.

Tiger girl was super thrilled that she got to ride on a bike this time. She originally wanted her own bike to cycle on but had difficulty pedaling so we decided on this add on ride for her instead.

I tried riding the bike with her in tow but it proved to be very challenging finding your sense of balance with the toddler seat in between. In the end I left it to R to chauffeur her around and stuck to what I enjoy doing best at the park~ taking photos of the kids.

Come on an link up this week with your Wordful Wednesday post.

10 Things I thought I would have done as a Child

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts Monday Listicles, tuesday top ten

Tiger girl and Doggie boy

Looking at my kids enjoying themselves made me think back to my childhood. There are many things that I would have like to have done as a child.

Here is a list of ten in no particular order.

Travel abroad and visit many more different countries with my family as often as possible.
Become a detective. I was really into Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes and really loved a good mystery.
Learn how to fly a plane and a boat. I always wanted to experience the thrill of being able to control such machinery but we couldn’t afford the expensive lessons.
Become a concert violinist like Vanessa Mae. I played first and 2nd violin in the school’s string ensemble during my secondary school years. It looks cool wearing a gown and playing the violin in front of an audience.
Become someone rich and famous. I still would like to be rich and have more disposable cash but will skip on the famous and being tracked everywhere you go part.
An Actress. I loved seeing actresses on TV wearing pretty clothes and getting to meet with all these handsome dashing men.
A singer. I loved singing and still love music but nowadays I gravitate more towards KPOP then Western music.
someday married with children of my own to the guy of my dreams. This did come true 🙂
A lawyer. I loved watching drama series of lawyers sparing in the court over cases.
A CSI. I love watching Crime investigation shows on TV and this job seems really interesting to me at that time.
