Its Saturday morning. We woke up early and prepared some sandwiches. Armed ourselves with kites and off we went to Lower Seletar Reservoir.

We laid out our picnic mat, took out the sandwiches and got the kites ready. Clié and Cleo were just too excited and with some help from daddy, their kites lifted off into the sky.

Clié had lots of fun too. She is good at coiling up her kite’s string and keeping things neat and tidy. She gets really worked up when her kite starts plumetting down. I can so imagine her at work next time. So passionate.

It started getting hot after some time and the kids had enough kite flying. We headed home.

After a shower and a simple lunch, everyone headed off to bed for a nap to enjoy the lazy saturday afternoon in their air-conditioned rooms. It was also perfect timing for me to clear some work.

I so look forward for saturdays like this. Quality family time, make my wife happy, make my kids happy, this makes me happy.

Saturdays are precious. After rolling around in bed, its time for a family breakfast. Today we had very simple stuff and these simple pleasures with my family are simply priceless. See how amazingly my wife makes simple food look fabulous.

Kit Chan – Home

Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There’s a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home

When there are troubles to go through
We’ll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That homes about its people too
So we’ll build our dreams together
Just like we’ve done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There’ll always be Singapore

Chorus:
This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home

Chorus Repeat

This is Home, truly
Where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me
Where that river always flows
This is home, surely
As my senses tell me
This is where I won’t be alone
For this is where I know it’s home
(For this is where I know, I’m HOME)

He

He opens his eyes and switches off the alarm before it sounds and disturbs.

He washes up and puts on clothes that let others feel confident about him. The mirror tells him its another challenging day that won’t kill him.

He leaves home and goes to the place where he gets bread for the family.

He is passionate, he is creative. He is 100 percent confident. Supportive and encouraging words are always nice.

When he is with himself, he reflects. When he is by himself, he longs for his loved ones.

What is his next big project? What will he conquer next?

He likes to be with his family, yet he had a record of working long hours.

The day turns into night. He stops all work.

He comes home, settles down, cleans up and gets changed.

He gets back into bed.

He smiles at her. He gives her a kiss.

Daddy whispers into mommy’s ear.

I love you.
