Motivational Art and Music on a Monday

Bicycle Rack

Last weekend while at East Coast Park for the kids annual sports day I chanced upon this really ingenious contraption- a bicycle rack. The display was near  the East Coast Village food court  and there were other wooden sculptures in the area but this was the only one which caught my eye.

The bikes are hung at an angle so their tires don’t remain on the sand while being parked at the bicycle rack. I know how difficult it can be to keep the tires clean and how  dust and dirt can screw up the cycling mechanism if the bike is not cleaned properly.There was even a pictorial instructional sign in front of the exhibit to explain how the bikes should be mount on the structure.

I really love how functional this piece of art is and that the inventor really managed to get his creation out from an idea in his head to something which everyone can enjoy.  It only shows that if one really works on ideas/dreams which they are passionate about the dream will come true.

Japanese Food and Riverside View

The boys love eating Japanese food. I remember one of their first taste of Japanese food was chawamushi which was introduced to them when they were nearly 1 year old. From then onwards there has been a liking for udon, cha soba , tempura and sushi. They would request that we have lunch at a Japanese restaurant at least once a month.

R and I are more into the other Japanese food like Okonomiyaki and terriyaki and normally will order a variety of dishes when we are at the restaurant. This way everyone can have their fill of their favourite Japanese food.

However on that day we had more then just great tasting  Japanese food as we were able to enjoy the spectacular view of  row of colourful shop houses across the river.

Do you kids love Japanese food too?
