I’m thankful that my parents always made time to bring us outdoor and even for short trips to Malaysia, though we were not well-to-do and my father as a sole breadwinner had to work two shifts to make ends meet. It touches my heart to learn from my mom that my father though he was… Continue reading Sports and outdoor activities I did when I was young

New exercise routine?
Last year, I only exercised once a week and some weeks I did not even jog. This year, I have resolved to exercise at least twice a week but I wondered how I am going to do it.

When Dot started to walk, we let her explore around at the stadium. There are so much to do at the stadium for our little active toddler – she climbs stairs, follows us or others do warming-up exercises, picks grasses and throws them in the drain, picks up little stuff on the floors, plays with the sand, plays and kicks the ball, runs around, chases after birds on the field…limitless. It’s up to her imagination.
Dot enjoys the outdoor play and gets to have more personal time with each parent. We get to burn the extra calories and keep fit too. Win-win!
