Outdoor Activities - Fresh Air Again

Finally, I had the chance to enjoy some outdoor activities this weekend. For the last few weeks, the haze in this part of the world (South East Asia) has been so bad that it became very hazardous to bring my family to the park or the beach. This morning the PSI (Pollutant Standard Index) was about 50, compared with PSI of > 100 for most of the previous weekends.

This morning, I brought my daughter to the neighbourhood park for brisk walking. We had not done this for almost a month. We also played badminton for about 30 minutes at the open court 2 blocks away from my home. Not exactly playing proper badminton as this is the first time that she is holding the racket hitting the shuttlecock. She was enjoying herself although she missed the hits most of the time.

A good physical activity this weekend. We hope the haze situation will improve permanently, so that when the school vacation starts in about 2 weeks time, she can have more of these fun outdoor activities.
