On Sunday, Lina and I teach a 6 year old boy how to swim. It has been a few weeks since his last lesson and this time the lesson was conducted at the
Northpoint pool where we live. Unlike the previous pool, this is deep water and Chris is unable to touch the bottom. A potential stumbling block as he has a fear of deep water. Despite this, within 45 minutes he was bravely swimming 20 metres unassisted – a massive improvement. Isaac was in the pool also and the two boys were egging each other on. A bit of peer encouragement will usually work with the boys so they say and this was certainly the case this time. Well done Chris, and Lina’s instruction was first class.
After the lesson we lunched with Chris’s parents, Joe and Hunsa at a
Hong Kongese restaurant in the
The Gardens, Mid Valley, across the road from our apartment. Joe is a lover of all things porcine and the dishes ordered were heavily themed towards this. Char siew, roast pork, and the roast duck were delicious. Several fish dishes and a couple of bowls of pork intestine congee topped the meal off. And even better, Isaac, who tends towards his father’s child-fussy eater tendencies, had a few spoonfuls of the intestine congee.
