A special moment I enjoyed with my family.

At noon last Saturday (which was also the day of the class barbecue), my family and I went cycling again. My mom said what’s the point of learning how to cycle when you don’t do it as a family activity? So my family and I went cycling at Pasir Ris Park after we had our lunch after my religious class which ended at 1.30 pm every Saturday.

My first younger sister who is in primary 6 finally knows how to cycle also after just 2 lessons. All that is left now is my youngest sister who is 8-years old to learn how to cycle. But since this was a family trip and not a cycling lesson, we brought along her own bicycle with training wheels. My parents each rented their own bike. For the first time in my life, we can now cycle as a family. It was great fun and I hope that this will be our weekly weekend family activity.

We cycled for over an hour. An hour flew passed just like that. Some people say that time flies when you are having fun. It was true as cycling was very fun especially with your family members as we could have small races and so on. We cycled around the park, along the beach and cycled passed the Pasir Ris playground. I never thought I could cycle here one day. Since it was a still early on a Saturday afternoon, there were not many people yet. There were not many cyclists yet too. This was good for me as I can perfect my cycling skills without many cyclists in my way, making me panic thus throwing me off balance. There were others too who did roller-blading, some were learning how to cycle and roller-blade.

I fell while I was cycling. Luckily I fell on the grass and not on the rough tarmac floor. That was my very first fall for that day. Finally, an hour passed. I was rather satisfied as I managed to cycle on a route that was new and also to cycle together with my family.

After we returned our bicycles at the bicycle rental shop, we each bought a drink
from a vending machine nearby. Then, we went to Pasir Ris Beach to rest and take in some fresh air since the beach was just next to the park. So it was very convenient. After that we quickly went home for me to get ready to go to my class barbeque outing in school.

We rarely spend time together as a family because each of us is very busy. So I will always treasure these moments the most.
