It rained for a while early this morning and that made the air nice and clean plus there was a nice breeze. I felt like it was a great New Year morning (even though Japanese New Year is on the 1st of January).
I wanted to do something. Such a nice morning cannot be wasted just staying inside the house - so we packed our breakfast coffee, pancakes and snacks and off we went to Muara beach.
When we entered the car park we suddenly remembered it was a public holiday - meaning the place will be packed!! and it was!! Almost all the car parks were taken and so many people were in the picnic area, at the beach and the playground.
It made it kind of nice too, I felt quite festive as lots of people were smiling and saying hi to us, and they all seemed happy.
Our boy was one of the happiest. He got to take his favourite push car and ride on the bike path for a long long time.
He loves his car so much that he rode on it even in the playground, but it didn't take him long before he tried all the different equipments.
He wasn't too sure about the swing...
But loved the slides!!
Then it was time for some breakfast and a snack. Of course he got to eat some mandarins - as thats what you do on Chinese New Year!
We had another great start to the year. In Japan it is said that the Year of the Rabbit brings lots of jumping and hopping. People tend to become optimistic and believe in the economic recovery etc.
I am certainly feeling bouncy and optimistic this year - bring it on!
