We are family... i got all my politics and me :p

1st Sept was my co's family day. The 2nd co event that i attended and this time my wifey was with me :P so happy..
it was held @ fort canning and the place was pretty much an open grass area for everyone to have fun. This place has certainly changed a lot from the memories of my childhood. I spent p1 to p6 here as ACPS (was situated at coleman street then) and we used to go on top to a big skating ring for our PE. So my memories was mostly of walking up long flights of steps and passing this muslin grave (just 1 grave. i think it belonged to a sultan) and then playing Captain's ball at the skating ring.
Anyhoo.. wifey and me jumped in and participated in the games. We had fun and i got a chance to see wifey in action with the kids again. Generally though i felt that some pple miss the real objective of this family day event.. and that is to have fun, mingle and let the kids have fun too. During some of the games, you can see how competitive and how.. missing-the-point some pple are when they push and shove the kids as if they were just mere toys/objects. Very sad. One of the kid i think couldnt stand the pressure and all the scrutiny and was crying afterwards. Wifey noticed this and talked to her patiently when she got bac and well she made frens :)
its nice to see how good my wife is with kids.... makes me very confident of our parenting future..heheeh
ahhaah
