There's nothing more precious to me than my family. And it's great that the topic for ASEAN Hive Community Challenge this week is about Family Fun Time.
I'm the type of person who finds something fun even in the smallest things. I am grateful for every moment that I'm able to share with my family.
My parents and I live together, but because I work most of the time, we don't get the chance to go out a lot. Well, I also don't get enough budget for that at the moment, but it's OK. There are a lot of activities we could enjoy without needing much budget.
FOOD BONDING:
We don't have the luxury to eat out much, so we often cook together and bond over meals. Whenever there's an occassion, say for example my birthday or my parents' anniversary, we no longer eat out at some restaurants. Instead, we prepare some delicious food at home and share it with everyone.
We especially like doing some barbecue party while having karaoke at home. Sometimes, my cousins from both my parents' side would come over and we'd grill some meat, fish and so on... while the others sing something. We mostly just use YouTube karaoke... it's simple, yet enjoyable. We need not go to karaoke room and order some pricier food there as we can easily enjoy the same thing at home... and it's even more spacious!
Going Out For a Walk:
Another thing we enjoy doing as a family is going our for walks. We mostly go to the park and walk around there with Arashi. Then, we buy some fruits before heading home.
We seldom do this these days, though. It's rainy season and my mom easily gets dizzy when she goes out, so it's mostly just me and my dad. However, recently, we enjoy exercising at home. We take turns using the stationary bicycle. Mama would follow some light exercises online while I do some jump ropes. Papa also lift some dumbbells at home. This activity is important for our health especially because most of our family bonding involves food. Haha
We used to travel together in the past, but as I've said, we don't have enough money for that at the moment. It would also be difficult to commute normally given my mom's health situation. However, we do look forward to doing it again someday.
For now, we got to enjoy in the way that we can. Thanks for reading and see you around! (^^,)v
