It was a perfect morning with excellent weather on Thursday! We were all worried another rain will spoil the fun, but the God was kind to us. The sky was overcast; another heavy downpour seemed to be brewing. But there was no rain, and no sun. Just the right weather to bring the kids to botanical garden.

The playgroup children had a wonderful morning there running on the grass, chasing after balls and bubbles. Most of them are a bunch of kids deprived of space.

There were many groups of children there. We saw three big groups of kids from child care centres and kindergarten running across the field like a platoon of charging army. You know, when children run, they must scream, like bats sending screeches to navigate their way.

There were also many mommies bringing their little children out for a stroll in the garden. Strangely, most of them were Caucasians or Japanese, very few local moms. Why is this so? Are local moms too caught up with housework or too preoccupied with other business? Or is it the weather? Do we prefer indoors, like shopping malls, more then outdoor? Or are we just lazy to bring the kids out?
