Bringing Mum to the Nature











Ever since i fell in love with the nature, i have always wanted to bring along my mum to visit these places. But there r several constraints such as her health and my busy work schedule. Finally today, i ve gotten this chance to bring her to the Mac Ritchie Reservoir Park.

My mum told me that Macritchie park used to be a favourite place for dating couples. However, about 50% of the ppl we met there were caucasians. The rest comprised mainly of china mainland ppl, with locals contributing to the minority. And among the locals, 50% of them are of age 50s (and above), followed by young kids. I hardly find any youngsters and ppl of my age.

The weather is so fine. I was actually feeling rather sick today - from flu + sorethroat. But the walk with my mum in the nature reserves kinda perk my spirit up. Jus like my colleague, she doesn like to walk along the water banks by the walkboards, but prefer to walk on the nature trails amongst the trees.

Life is sometimes like a dream. Its almost 40yrs ago when she used to hang around this place as a youngster. She is now approaching her 60s.. and her son is now old and capable enough to make money and drive her around in the city.
