Megan's maiden bike ride
Finally, Megan could make it for our cycling adventure at East Coast Park today. She was not too well, as her left eye was slightly swollen. Tien Huat (Matthew's uncle fish fish) was down with flu. Nonetheless we all had fun!
We had breakfast at MacDonalds where Matthew had his Heinz Apple Cinnamon Porridge, his first time trying plain jar food. He did not really like it, so in the end we used the last few spoonfuls as a spread on his hotcake. He was determined to feed himself, so we helped him and he successfully used a fork to feed himself some hotcake. Needless to say, he enjoyed his hotcake very much.
Matthew obviously recognised East Coast Park and knew exactly which direction to go! There is this alley that leads from MacDonalds to the beach area. He struggled to get down and walked towards the alley. He loves to look at the sea, the sky and the ships in the water. So while we waited for Megan, Chris and Tien Huat, we walked along, enjoying the morning breeze and the scenery.
Megan finally came and we got ourselves into our rented bikes. So along we went. It was Megan's maiden ride on the bicycle. She enjoyed herself very much. Though her first time, she was determined to take control of the bike, "brushing" her Papa's hands off the handles!
Within just merely 5 minutes into the ride, Matthew struggled to get out. At first we did not know why. Chris thought that it might be because he wanted to do his business. True enough, he wanted to poo! After that, it was pure fun! We stopped at Bedok Jetty for a break and watched people fished. The fishes readily hooked on and there were lots of jumping fish. This silly mommy forgot to swish out the camera to take some photos of the kiddos looking at the fishes. Both Matthew and Megan were fascinated by the jumping fishes. Megan went, "Fish jump jump!"
We then made our way to Changi Sailing Club and took another break. Both Matthew and Megan came down from the bike for a walk walk to stretch their legs. They had bananas and we continued on our ride. We made another stop for some cold drink and Chris had an ice cream. The ice cream auntie gave both Matthew and Megan a piece of wafer each and they enjoyed their treat.
So fun.. We must go again!
