Trying our best to make the most of this one-week school holidays.
Guess what? We picked up a new sport, which the kids were willing to pay on their own using their ang pow money. Yay!
And I added another title to my long list of jobs when it comes to my kids - Skating Instructor! Woohoo! That is even though I personally can't skate well and haven't done it in over a decade. Hahaha. I figured all they need is encouragement, someone to cheer them on, a couple of tutorial videos and most importantly, an opportunity to try.
So, despite being told that I can't possibly handle 3 first-timer skaters on my own, I still brought this bunch of kiddos out, using our buggy to transport all the heavy barang. 真的很重咯. I even brought out fruits and drinks for them to replenish their energy hor. And I made it! Or rather, they did it.
They all amazed me by wanting to skate for hour after hour, were not afraid to fall - they must have fallen at least 100 times altogether - and learnt to pick themselves up to try, try and try again. Even the boy, who is usually the timid one, felt adventurous and courageous that day and kept pushing himself on, much to my pleasant surprise. So yup, give yourselves a pat on the back for a most awesome job, my dears!
Well, I hope you won't be as stubborn as me when you grow up but I also hope you can be resilient, independent, strong and resolute in life. So glad we finally picked up this new sport which I've been wanting to let you try since last year. Yay! Let's do it again real soon, shall we?
Oh, and the question is, where should we store the stuff since we don't have a storeroom huh? Haha.
