整装待发 Getting ready for a short escapee

婧怡与凯文下个星期将飞回新加坡，来出席靖凯五月十日的婚礼。

难得他们夫妇俩从墨尔本飞来新加坡，便趁机编排往雪兰莪州旅游的行程。

五月3日，将会自驾往螃蟹岛，然后在雪兰莪港口过夜，并在晚上观赏萤火虫及河面蓝光两个景点。原本以为能参加天空之镜的自然奇观，但刚好那几天因为海水涨潮之故，没有所谓的天空之境的现象。

隔天  （5月4日），我们会去Sekinchan 稻田之乡来个一日游。

5 月5日，将打道回府。

酒店预订好了，整装待发。

。。。偏偏无巧不成书，5月3日竟然是新加坡大选日！

CY and Kevin are flying back to Singapore earlier , to attend CK's wedding one week later.

We take the opportunity to organize a short driving tour to Kuala Selangor and Sekinchan. We will be visiting Pulau Ketam before venturing to Kuala Selangor of fireflies and blue tears tours. 

If time  permits, we may stop over at Muar for lunch on our return to Singapore. 

And of course, we will be driving our BYD EV car for the trip! Need some planning of EV charging.

遛狗 walking our dog

 

看海

没有束敷的自在

上个周末，带上我家的“毛孩”往东海岸公园散步，看海。

它尽情的逛，虽然偶尔会带点怯意，但多的是惬意。

Our dog, Mantis, went for a stroll along East Coast Park one week ago.

Albeit slightly apprehensive at times, he seemed to enjoy the walk most of the time. He has been with us for almost 1 1/2 year...

清明·QingMing

 

又是一年一度的清明节。

这次除了祭拜父亲，也祭拜去年刚往生的母亲。

乘搭亚航飞往槟城。班机延迟了一个小时多。原本预期7点半左右抵达槟城，结果弄到八点半才抵达。过了关卡步出机场时已经是9点了。与往常一样，还是我的妹妹丽琴接我会高渊去。

清明当天，到坟墓去祭拜。过后，顺道在太平附近买了几包南洋咖啡粉。

It is this time of the year for QingMing (aka Tomb Visit and Prayer). My father has passed on many years ago, whilst my mother just passed on one year ago. Both were buried in the same place.

My dad's death came as a surprise to me. But he passed on without going through much suffering, from a heart attack (stayed in hospital for a few days before succumbing). My mother has been incapacitated and bedridden for a few months before succumbing. I view her passing on as a relief from physical suffering. Both of them passed on around 80 years of age. All of us (their children) still have fond memories of them... but death is an inevitable in our circle of life! Before long, it will be our turn...
