The Feel of Letting Go...(TTDI Park Insight)

It was a plan some time ago to bring Eeanne to TTDI park, and finally we visited this mother nature few weeks ago, fall in love with it and paid a 2nd visit last weekend. In fact, daddy mommy would like to bring Eeanne to this park more often, if possible to make it a weekly family activity.

It has been almost 6-7 years since mommy's last visit to this park, the place is still as popular as it is with its constant flow of loyalty patrons from aged 1 to 80.

There are several wide and lengthy jogging paths and we especially like the one near to the forest with shedding trees, full of fresh air and negative ions!!

Besides the jogging activities, there is a mini stream which is the main spot for all kids besides the nearby playground. There are many locals and expatriates set up their picnic mats by the stream (and mommy daddy are already planning for one weekend:-)). All the kids are so fascinated by the tiny guppy fish hiding under the rocks. We had missed out the joy of this fishing activity during our first visit, however during the last weekend visit, Eeanne brought her mini fishing pail and net while mommy helped to catch a few tiny guppies for Eeanne.

It could be rather a hard attempt for kids to catch those tiny fish in the stream. It was so heart touching that day we met an kind expatriate who brought some colored fish to be thrown to the stream to satisfy the eagerness of the kids. While throwing at one end, he asked Eeanne to stand at the other end with the net ready, and the fish was just willingly swam into Eeanne's net and that is really really satisfying, at least for Eeanne..:-)

We know that we can't bring those fish back which will die in few days due to environment changes, thus mommy told Eeanne to let go the fish back into the stream. We hold the pail with around 10 fishes and counted 1...2...3....and slowly poured all the fish into the water. At that very moment of seeing those fishes swimming out from the pail, there was an indescribable feeling of joy emerged, the bliss of letting go was truly felt by both daddy and mommy, a kind of feeling which has been oppressed and long lost in our daily challenging life. For Eeanne, we know that she might not feel the same as mommy daddy felt, however, when asked whether she is happy to see those fish swim away, Eeanne answered: "YES!" At least Eeanne is happy to let go the fish :-)

For now, Eeanne is anticipating for our next visit to the park but this round she is asking mommy daddy to buy fish to let it go rather than concentrating on the idea of fishing in the stream...:-)

Lesson for Eeanne:

"On the journey in pursuing our life goals and dreams, we should do our best to commit and be responsible, every strive should be in full hearted and sincere. However we may need to practise to "let go" the result of whatever outcome it will bring."
