Just Keep Swimming...
It was a great day to have a swim with the kids. Even though I had a swim the day before, I have to keep my promise to them to bring them out. Never break your promise with kids, they will hate you and remember it forever. Trust me.
Anyway, we started out quite late. Picked the kids up from my sister's place and walked over to Tampines Swimming Complex. There were still sleeping when we reached there. I just laid beside them for a while waiting for them to wake up and when they did I got a hug. They were so excited to go. They immediately washed-up and we went on our way. They wanted so much to use our goggles so we let them. Look at their faces! Filled with much joy!
Halfway through swimming, Nasry wanted to go back. He was hungry. We were so rushy that we had forgotten to let them eat. We stayed back for a while but soon after, got out and washed-up. We went to the Mosque to buy some food.
We then headed to NTUC to buy a bottle of drink. Then I thought, why not make it about $20. It was the minimum amount to get some link points. We grab some junk food and went to the cashier. Met this auntie who practically handed down Nasry the tub of ice-cream without even asking whether we want to buy it or not. Of course as a kid, they'd only think that the person was giving it to him for free. He happily took it. Then this auntie started conversing by first commenting on Nasry's hair.
Auntie : Hello boy! Your hair is very curly. (Touching Nasry's hair and he looked at me with blurriness)
We : Yeah. He has curly hair.
Wan: Like maggi! Haha.
Auntie: Ya lor. Like his daddy. (referring to irwan as the father)
Wan: That's why la. Haha.
Auntie: Wah! You both look very young ar. Married already ar.
Wan: Ya auntie. we married ready.
Me: Smiles. (Ya right! married eh)
Auntie: You both marry very young is it? You both around 20s right?
Wan:Ya. we both married quite young.
Auntie: Your daughter how old ready? (Referring to Nuriyn)
Wan: Ouh. She's 5 already.
Auntie: Wah so good. Have two kids ready. Two kids enough lar. Very good already.
Wan: Ya lor. Good enough.
Me: (Smiles and tap irwan's back for making such a remark.)
Auntie: Nowadays, kids, get married ar forget the parents. I old still have to work.
Wan: Ya lor auntie.
Auntie: Got car la. Now married, all for the wife.
Wan: Haha.
We finally paid and went off. The horror. If not she might be asking me at what age did I get married.
We walked back. We could not eat. Perhaps, just too tired from swimming.
Rested for a while and headed home. Leaving the kids behind. Be sure to miss them. Love ya adik-beradik!
