Today was indeed the most well spent Sunday this year. My father was always overseas doing business and had hardly any time to go out with our family. Finally, today, he was able to spend time with us.
All of my family members woke up very early and prepared to go out to East Coast Park to have breakfast. We left the house and prepared lots of food. Immediately after arriving, we went to find a spot to do our barbecue and found a decent one. We unpacked our stuff and started work. My grandmother sat down and looked after my younger brother who was playing with his toys. My mother helped take out the buns for my two younger sisters to munch on while my father and I started to do the barbecue.
Soon, all of us gathered around the table and started to eat. While eating, we joked around and as my primary 5 sister and I told our parents that we were appointed as Badminton captains in our schools, both my mum and dad gave us a wide smile and congratulated us. Looking at all the laughter and smiles my family members had on their faces, I smiled too.
After our breakfast, all of us went cycling. I cycled alone while my two younger sisters sat on a three sitter bicycle with my father. My younger brother sat on the bicycle with my mother. On the way, my mother actually lost control of the bike while trying to show us that she could cycle without using her hands and fell down! My father was already way ahead of us so he was oblivious to this incident. I immediately stopped my bike and went to see how my mother was doing. She had a big bruise on her knee while my younger brother, fortunately, had no injuries. Since my mother was able to carry on, she continued cycling until we finally reached the end. My father saw what happened and quickly took out some cream to apply on my mother's knee. He then laughed at my mother and said that she could never do what he does best and all of us burst out laughing. Even my grandmother who did not understand English chuckled after seeing us laugh with all our wide smiles.
This might not be some special day to others but definitely a very meaningful one to me. It is not every day that I can have this type of special day with my family, especially with all my school work. I know that deep in my heart, no one and nothing can express the bond I share with my family and this outing has definitely strengthened the deep love I have for my family members.
