Saturday evening adventure

We went to FRIM after all. It was a nice weather, didn't rain a bit, and in fact we should have gone earlier. Initially I was thinking of hiking up a hill, and wanted to explore the area a bit, but we set off a tad too late, about 5pm, as that was the time when I looked up from my laptop. We reached there at roughly 5.45 and the time to close is about 6.30, so we were told.

We just charged to the river, where we had our picnic spot some weeks ago. Such a different atmosphere compared to that time. This time, it was sunyi sepi aje, not many cars were seen, although there were still some kids playing at the river there. We walked up the stairs and hub started to go looking for prawns for our little aquarium. Meanwhile, the 4 of us tried to manage and find our way to where papa was, as the place there was rocky and wet, like a jungle track.

Didi loved the exploration, he said it's an adventure, and it seems like he was truly enjoying himself finding his way around. Meimei needed help, and there I was, with a small tote bag of tidbits, a tumbler and a container to store our catches, tumbling around to make sure she's ok. I was a bit clumsy, but the simplicity of our activity brings so much joy. Korkor was happy too, though he kept saying "told you it's a bad idea", for he had objected to go out while he could stay home to play games.

At one point of time, I told him to help meimei and there he was, trying to carry her over. It was such a cute and warm sight, and what a pity I didn't bring a camera to capture that. It'll forever be etched in my memory though. This brother, though he likes to irritate her most times, he still loves his little sis.

And my, what a good catch we had today. We brought home 5 prawns and 1 little baby "siakap". Hope they wouldn't commit suicide so fast though.

We passed by a big park with a big lake, and there was a big open area for kite-flying. It was such a pretty sight, with all the colorful and variety of kites in the sky. I made a mental note to come back here again next time to fly kite with the kids, or maybe with grandpa and grandma too.
