It was pleasant last weekend as I took a day off last Friday to make up for the previous weekend for my family, as I was involved in the Sundown Half-Marathon in SG. Well, nothing grand but I did spend some nice quality time with the family, especially the kids. Friday is an off-day in Johor thus my kids enrichment classes are held on Fridays. I usually visited my little princess ballerina classes where I can watched her dance and train in her ballerina steps, as well as enjoying the air-cond. there
and checking out some gorgeous moms and ballerina instructors.
However, last Friday I decided to ask my wifey to drop me off together with my kid at his badminton academy as I like to check on his progress. It's been three months since he joined the academy. To my surprise, he improved a lot and was practising his footwork, where when he first joined, he can't even hold a racket properly. It seems a very tough training for 2 hours and he finished his water bottle after an hour. Thus, I went out to grab a bottle of mineral water for him. Anyway, I guess all these physical training is good for his body and health, unlike his dad, yours truly, was a sickly child then.
After all the classes which starts and ends at the same time, we went to Stulang Laut for a bowl of Laksa. This was the first time I am here and I must say that their Laksa was very delicious as well as there are a lot of yong tau foo to choose.

Lots of stuffs to pick for the bowl of Laksa |

Its located near to the Pasir Pelangi Istana, in Stulang. Just a few stores there and most are halal including this store. |

Yummy... my hearty bowl of Laksa |
I can't have laksa as everytime after I have laksa, I will go to the toilet and lao sai, maybe I can't take coconut milk in the laksa gravy
ReplyDeleteNice quality time spent with your children
DeleteLibby - Me too, after I have spicy food, my stomach will not feel well. I have a sensitive stomach, so once in a while la.
DeleteThanks.. I miss the weekend!
Well done to your son. I do agree with you on letting kids have some sports or exercise in some form. Good for their bodies.
ReplyDeleteRose - That's my philosophy. My main objectives is to improve their physical body and EQ. I am not too keen in sending them for music classes though it's good but physical exercise comes first.
DeleteI see lots of fried stuffs and yong taufu.. And with laksa soup, wah, heaven.. I also like curry yong taufu..
ReplyDeletePrincess - hahaha.... you like all types of food now!
DeleteGood for your son! :)
ReplyDeletelina - :) I make him run the kid's dash next time!
Deletehow nice taking a day off to spend time with your family.. and paying visits to your kids in their enrichment class.. loving father you are!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSK - hahaha.. not really la. I only spent time with them during the weekends. Have to make up for that.
Deleteglad your prince is improving in badminton, I guess you can play with him soon at leisure times.. BTW, probably you need to tell your wife to prepare him two bottles of water since he's consuming them fast.. he needs to be hydrated when training..
ReplyDeleteSK - Yes, that's why its easier to coach a kid than old folks like us. Their minds are open and easily absorbed what was taught. I remember I went for coaching few years back and still the same..hahaha
DeleteYeah, told me wife to prepare two bottles instead.
really lots of choices at the curry stall, and the place looks very clean and tidy too.. yeah, a hearty bowl of laksa that is, we're your YTF liu inside as well??
ReplyDeleteSK - A mixed of it.... fried 'foo pei', lady fingers,fish balls, tofu ...
DeleteThis Fri Public Holiday, can have more time with your family ya, as long weekend...
ReplyDeleteSharon - yeah, but I will need to brave the crowd and jam first at the causeway after work :(
DeleteFrom the picture, see that the laksa is very tempting...
ReplyDeleteSharon - it's nice!
DeleteHahaha, I like the sentence that you've crossed over, guess not only guys, I like to watch it too, hehe!!
ReplyDeleteXiao Ying - shhhhh.... hehehehe...
DeleteLong time never eat laksa! Miss the time when I can simply eat anything, now, because of breastfeeding, have to be careful on food intake...
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Hayley - yeah, no kopi too. Moms really sacrifice a lot !
DeleteIt's good that your son takes an interest in sports.
ReplyDeletePhong - Yeah, it;s good for his physical and mental development too!
DeleteSports for kids should start young, I reckon. Both my girls are learning table tennis and swimming since they were only seven.
ReplyDeleteYannie - Yes, I agreed. They can pick the sports easily and improved their skills as well as build up their physical strength.
DeleteMy girl loves playing badminton and she joined the badminton club at school. She learned about 3 months but pulled out, she said the coach is very fierce...haiz.
ReplyDeleteYee ling - My kid's coach also fierce. In fact, he was holding a rotan though he gently whack the naughty ones. I think it's ok the coaches are strict else they cannot installed discipline onto the players. Sports needed a lot of discipline.
DeleteAjak our kids to run SG kids dash la
ReplyDeleteKucing - That's my dream!! Run in KL or SG ? SG is in Dec 5.
DeleteIt is so heart warming and nice to read about a dotting papa having a well spent time with the kids and could still ogle at the gorgeous aunties out there. Killing 3 birds with one stone!
ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual laksa that goes with yong tau foo! I must try it.
TM - Not really la... didn't spend enough time with them, thus, try to make up for them.
Deleteye, you should try, it's around Stulang laut area.
yong tau fu laksa? interesting!
ReplyDeleteKen - oh...you don't know about it? Can go to Ipoh and try.
Deleteso nice to see that your kiddos were active too... love badminton (that's because that's the only sport i can do LOL)..
ReplyDeletethat dish looks interesting.. what is Laksa by the way? What does it made of?
bluedreamer27 - yes, I am trying to make them active rather than staying at home and playing the ipads.
DeleteLaksa is actually curry, thus this is curry noodles.
Big thank you for sharing your story, you are an inspiration and it is just amazing to keep seeing stories like yours! Really appreciate it!
ReplyDeleteNM - :)
Deletelooks very nice ;)
ReplyDeleteThat is my favourite pick what you want and enjoy a hot bowl.
