Admiring the Sunset

A few weeks back when I was attending the Philips Avance Air Fryer launch I managed to witness a magnificent sunset.  It has been a long time since I had the opportunity to stand and admire the surroundings.

The color of the sky changed quite a bit during the 10-15 minutes where I took to walk up the slope to Jewel box from the carpark.  You can see how orange the sky was when the sun was setting.

It would be great if R was there with me to enjoy the view that day. Unfortunately  it was a working event for me and he had to stay home and take care of the kids. Maybe one of the weekends if we do get the chance to have a couple weekend we could go up to Jewel box for drinks instead.

Do you love watching the sunset too?

School is out for the years and the kids are now on vacations.  This year has been a growing up experience for Doggie boy as it was the first year that he was in elementary school. It has been a fun and trying year for him as he adjusted to the new surroundings and expectations.

Here is a list of 10 things which Doggie boy learned about being in Primary 1.

  1. You can sleep in…Everyday!! In fact it is okay to wake up at 9am and still be in time for school. (He is in the afternoon session by the way 🙂
  2. You get to handle $$ and decide what you want to eat during recess.
  3. There are more people to play with and things to do in school as compared to when he was in kindergarten.
  4. There are tests and exams that one has to prepare and study for.
  5. He has to be responsible for his own actions. Ie: Washing his own school shoes.
  6. It is okay not to know everything as long as you are willing to learn.
  7. Ask if you are in doubt.
