SeEking my Polaris

Nature never fails to captivate me.

1 week ago, we decided to go to Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve over the weekends, and despite the drizzle, which turned into a mid range down pour, we still stuck to our original plan~ [how rare! Probably cos we were driving and Dad has no choice but to follow suit? Haa.. ]

It was definitely an adventurous ride. Just Imagine: Rain + Mud + Poor Visibility + Losing our ways 3 times + 2 tots in the background!!

We arrived. Decided to laze around in the café to wait for the rain to subside, it’s a very cosy café overseeing a beauuuutiful lake/pond [whatever] I must say. Saw some Caucasians there as well on their own, not following some tour groups and Im pretty amazed by their sense of direction of being able to find this secluded and hidden sanctuary..

I would have given anything up for this tranquil time spent together.. been sometime since my family went to enjoy the nature. Dad has been sick for almost a month. We thought it was Dengue initially, but thank god it’s a viral fever infection after a blood test. My folks seemed to enjoy themselves walking through the mangroves, the freshpond area, or simply just holding their grandchildren hands and exclaiming to them the huge monitor lizard that was climbing under the pavement of wooden planks. We saw it through the gaps, it was huge! And everyone was talking about it for a whole 5 minutes!

I wonder.. what is it like to have grandchildren? Kids with big innocent eyes? :)

We walked and walked.. no one seemed tired and we had about 30 mins of sunshine in between. Finally, it started to rain again and we decided to call it a day. On the way back, we braved the rain to stopped by our Grandma’s grave to pay our respect. It was the 2nd year anniversary of her death.

Its funny how vividly you remember some things. Then choose to ignore the rest.

Dad was pleased that we accompanied him there though it was raining heavily.

To me, we didn’t do it for anyone else, but for grandma.

Everyone ended up drenched and soaking wet, but we carried a happy heart within us..
