After O Levels and To the Beach

After a long break of more than a week, Nana finally took her last 2 papers on Friday. She had Chemistry P1 in the morning, another long break and finally her Physics P1 at 2.30pm. She is officially a free bird! 

The night before, she proudly showed me her empty Chemistry 10-year series. She has completed all 10 past year papers. 

Right after her papers, she headed off to Sentosa with her classmates in celebration. They were at the beach until dark and didn’t reach home until 11ish. It is ok, school holiday has finally started for her. 

I have to post about my Saturday morning ride bcos the pictures were so nicely taken. White stairways and blue sky background. So nice! 

The kids were still in lala land when I reached home. Nana was beat from the whole afternoon at the beach. Zaky only touched down at 11.30pm from BKK and continued gaming until 4am after Daddy Lim picked him up and home. 

We had booked the kids way in advance for Saturday afternoon. We had dated a few families to spend the late afternoon/ evening at the Sentosa beach. Nana didn’t mind despite being on the same beach the day before. It had been a long while for this many kids to come together during our gathering. Now that the teenagers planned their own meetup, usually only the little ones tagged along. 

While the morning weather was great for the WWF ride, it was pouring everywhere in the afternoon. The nea weather forecast said that the thundery showers were only to last until the early afternoon. Daddy Lim was very skeptical. We pressed ahead with Auntie H’s encouraging words that we will then have cloudy sky and cool weather on beach day. 

I was also doubtful when it was still pouring near Labrador Park and was praying hard for the rain to stop. There was no turning back anyway as we were all on our way and arriving very soon. Thankfully, the rain turned to a drizzle as we entered Sentosa. Despite the rain, Sentosa was crowded and there were so many other crazy beach goers like us. Lol. 

The drizzle was very light when we found a place to spread the mats. Nothing a few caps and umbrellas cannot handle. 

The kids didn’t mind anyway. The little ones were busy digging sand and carrying water. The older ones were playing frisbee and volleyball. 

The aunties were happily chit chatting on the mat and having picnic. I think we ate most of the food we brought. Lol. 

We stayed at the beach for 3 hours. At one point, some of the bigger boys were also in the sea. 

Whatever it was, they had a lot of fun while we had a lot of food. Hoho. 

We adjourned for dinner at Haborfront. While the aunties had already stuffed themselves silly, the kids and uncles were hungry and needed dinner. Finally, we had MacD ice cream to wrap up the day. 

It had been such a long time since the teenagers came along and we are so blessed to have our kids still as close as before. Next one - Christmas gathering.
