I took a day leave off on Monday as well as take leave from blogging over the weekend to spent time with my kids, since it's school holidays. The weekend started off with a Japanese dinner as I reached home early and decided to work at home after that. Seeing that, my wifey having a tough time coping with the new weekend where she hardly rest, I thought it's a good idea to spend more time with them.

We went around Jusco Tebrau City on Saturday as my kid needed to adjust his specs as it's always loose but ended up getting a new but robust pair instead. Afterall , there was a promotion and took the package for RM188. Then, we had lunch at Kim Gary. It was crowded as usual!

Toast with sausages ... I was surprise my wifey ordered this together with her main meal, as she can't eat a lot! LOL

Fried Nissin with chicken wing and chicken chop...that's what my prince ordered. He always love nissin noodles.

I got myelf a platter of ham, chicken wing,sunny side up, chicken chop, fries and sweetcorn, marinated in Italian red sauce. It was really full but nice, especially the chicken wing!

My wifey had a simple noodles with ham and egg.
  
My minestrone soup ... quite sweet, not my liking.

Last but not least, I needed a coffee. The coffee is good , very HK style!
After a good lunch, we headed for Lego Movie, which my little prince wanted to watch. I was surprised he wanted to watch a movie as he always have a phobia with the dark where I failed to coax him to go for movies with me. Well, probably peer pressures from school... LOL.

Have a good week!

I really thought it's a good idea to bring the kids closer to nature and Zenxin Organic Park in Kluang, which is kids' friendly, was a good choice! My kid was asking me to bring him there to join the short tour around the park and I thought why not, as I only needed to spend around  RM5-8 for the tour for each person. It's so much cheaper compared to those theme parks. :P  My little princess was given free access too. And, walking around under the sun and seeing the greens are way much better than seeing whatever on the ipad.

The kids really enjoyed themselves there as  they got goodies bags,free ice-creams, running around without worried about vehicles, cycling, get themselves sweaty and dirty, beautiful scenery, free snacks as well as get to feed bunnies and fishes. As for adults, it's kinda relaxing getaway and we really  got closer to nature. Though the weather was hot,  I had a great time over there. I have been there for many times to shop but didn't really went inside the farm.

With a fast internet connection, smart phones and tablet at home, I realised the interaction between myself and my kids have became lesser. Though my kids are very young, they were so addicted to these devices and most of time, they spent their time the watching Youtube, playing educational software and of course, games. The educational apps were good and it did help my little princess a lot in English. Anyway, not just them, even myself was glued to the internet most of the time  and I guess it's time to 'fast' a little bit from the cyberworld. I thought it's time to break away and have more bonding with my kids.

One of the idea that I thought of was to introduce board games to them. That should be exciting enough as it's something new to them and appealing.  Besides the popular games like monopoly, risk, snake and ladder, chess and etc, their daddy, yours truly, been playing certain board games for years. I realized board games actually helps developed our thinking, like planning a strategy to score victory points. I have been playing many board games over the years with my colleagues during happy hours, though I am a lousy player.:P

London - A game about rebuilding London after the Great Fire destroy the city in 1666

I just bought a new game called London recently and it's really a good strategy game. Anyway, I have only played it once and still not too familiar with it. Usually, board games came with cards, dices and of course the big board with a booklet of instruction. The learning  curve is usually steep but it depends on the game. It can be usually played with 2-4 players. 

My ever favourite game - Acquire. A game about acquiring the most stocks in the property market.
So far, I have a collection of four games and that includes the board game version of Warcraft. Probably, I can try introduce simpler games to my kids, which will also take their minds off the mobile devices for a while as well as create more bonding with them. 

There are also board games cafes which offers a massive collection of games for you to choose. Have a good weekend folks and lets spend more time with our kids during this school holiday period. :)
