it was an odd day. like in the middle of nowhere. but it was a good break as well as a fun day. =)

went with JR24 to upper pierce reservoir park. it's my first time there and it's sooooooo beautiful. hubby and i were wondering how come we never thought of this place before for our wedding shoot.

at first i was very unwilling to go because i really dislike being sweaty and hot and all... but the day proved enjoyable. =)

thank God for good weather.. think He knows i dislike being sweaty and hot.. so it was cloudy, but still bright...

and PJ, he brought nets and bread.. guess for what.. to catch fishies!! i never knew that there're actually so many fishes and prawns inside the reservoir. the ones that we caught are nothing. they're real small teeny weeny fishes and prawns. i saw one family's, and they caught crayfish!! amazing ain't it?

and i flew a kite! that's my first try ever at flying a kite. it was fun. and there were this bunch of kids who wanted to fly kites as well so we let them. they're cute.. and couldn't get enough of the fun.. they got so carried away!! haha.

then we played silly dai di game... it was interesting man. got revolution one. haha. i must remember how to play it. it's well complicated.

and of course, there were other silly group games.

there were little kiddies there too and they're so adorable!! ooo.. i forgot to bring my phone out yesterday, which was a pity, otherwise you could all see what the park is like.

it's nice to be without your phone... no one could get to you... much like 20yrs ago... when you're out, you're out. pages weren't that popular then too.

it'd be great if there was an ice cream man selling us ice cream... maybe i should set up a stall there.

it's a nice family day... a day out with spiritual family. it's kinda different hanging out with a group of close friends. i mean, yes it'd still feel nice and we'll have fun if we did the same things but it's so different.

i remember the time i was at a leader's meet where pastor YC was talking abt friends and family. the difference between friends and family is that commitment is key in the relationships in families. among friends, we might lose touch, argue, get sensitive to comments and the relationship might just end there. but in family, it's different. there's commitment. and the commitment is made by choice. if i had a child, i'd be committed to him or her. it's my choice. yes, there're families out there that lack commitment... and that's really sad because that's not what God created families to be... a place of refuge and protection, love and trust.

so i give thanks for my family.. spiritual and physical alike. because God has renewed that idea of family for me.

and for those who're hurting, i pray, He'd do the same for you.
