National Day

We had a bit of a dilemma today..what to do?
Do we stay home and watch the Olympics or do we get on our bikes and enjoy a ride. The bikes won out and we cycled down to Sembawang Park to enjoy some beach and park. The day was hot, how unusual.
We found lots of people utilising the park. There were tents every where and there were people everywhere as well. Large groups of people enjoying their time together. It was wonderful to see all ages and races there on such a lovely day.
This little fella was trying to get his kite flying but unfortunately there wasn't enough wind but he seemed to be having fun doing it.
In the background are some tents and the beach is beyond them. People were swimming and fishing and having fun all at the same time and place.
These young children were organising here drinks. They had about 5 plastic bags filled with drink and were sharing it around.

We are now home and have enjoyed murtabak and prata from the local hawker centre at the big cost of $12 and it was more than enough to feed us both. The National Day Parade is on TV so we are watching that until it is over and then it will be back to the Olympics.
