A special occasion my family and I celebrate is Hari raya.My aunt usually invites my whole family to celebrate.My mum, aunt and grandmother usually cooks biryani which tastes delicious.We all sit together in the dining area and eat. I also get money which I use to get a new football jersey. I believe that this is a good opportunity to catch up with each other and pray at home together.

1)yes, as i love exercising and spending time with family. exercising is a way of relieving stress after studies and work. my dad and my mom come with me every week for a run/walk around Bedok Resevoir and it is very enjoyable and we can bond over topics that we all know and can have logical conversations. As covid-19 has limited to less time outside the house, we do other things to spend time and bond with family members. Overall, i think bonding is extremely important so we can know more about them and cherish the time we have with them.
2) with my family members, especially my dad, i love playing sports and watching them. Just yesterday, me and my dad watched the great britain grand prix where Lewis Hamilton hit Max verstapppen and won the race. It was very fun watching as i stayed up till 12am to watch even though the race had not finished till then. I also love watch a series called Our Planet which is a documentary directed by David Attenborough. we love watching it and have watched the series three times and still never get bored with the majestic scenes. I do other thing with my mom such as gardening. There must be something that you and any relative of yours has in common so you should find that thing out and bond with them!
3) The most special occasion my family celebrates is definately birthdays. Last year, i had a party where i invited 6 people over to my house to play 4 hours of Xbox(even though the rule then was five people allowed.)After that, Rishabh, Shaurya, Akshat, Raghav and me went for a virtual reality session and we loved it. For all my relatives birthday's, me and my family go over to their house to visit them and we go cycling and have a lot of fun. Usually, my birthday is my favorite day of the year but this year, it will be October fifth, the day i can break the shackles and will not have to study as P.S.L.E would finish that day. That will be the most celebrated day in this year for sure

Playing chess with my family as it helps me concentrate in work and to think sharp . Looking at how my father plays and how he develops his pieces is fun to watch and to learn. And we say jokes in between to make the game more fun and adding in laughter as we play .

When me and 3 out of 4 quarters of my family were in quarantine we started watching friends. We watched so much that by the end of quarantine we were on season 8 so when we got out we started watching it with our grandparents. Everyone in my fam (except my mum) loves watching marvel, all of my sisters watched Loki with us. That’s what bonds us, total silence.

Every weekend my family and I always go to to east cost and cycle or sometimes we will have a picnic or most of the weekend we will go fishing but sometimes on Sunday there is no fish but on Saturday there is a lot of fish

Now that I have a new born sister, my family and I go for walks to celebrate her 1st month. We were cycling and walking along some paths and the weather was very calm and breezy. The experience was fun as it has been a while since I had gone out and enjoyed the outside. We were cycling along the MRT stations and we ate cooling ice -creams. We did this as it was our baby sister's first month and we wanted to celebrate this special occasion.

Question 2. There are many occasions that my family celebrates. Such as Hari Raya Haji and Hari Raya Puasa. On those days we would visit our relatives or we would payback our fast if we did not complete the full 30 days. Most Muslims would visit their relatives as they want to take a breather and relax just for a day without any work. But out of all the occasions we celebrate, Hari Raya is my favorite. We get to eat 'Ketupat' and 'Rendang' the whole day but we would watch our diet and not eat too much, if not then we will have some eating problems. Of course theres many other varieties of food but I think the two dishes I've stated are my favourite. Our families would come over, play the firecrackers on the rooftop and spend the whole day with our family. We dont take it for granted since all of us are mostly busy.So I am always really excited for Hari Raya as I can play with baby niece and my older cousin. All in all, I think that Hari Raya is by far the best occasions we celebrate together as a family.

so my family and I will will spend time together at the beach and watch shows at home and on special occasions, we will go to Singapore icons such as the Marina Bay Sands to watch the magnificent view of flora and fauna. In the afternoon, we will usually play "steal the object" , it is a game where you steal and object without getting caught by a guard. At night we will watch the sunset at our balconies and put the sleeping bags.

Most of us like all my sisters and my father love watching marvel.It’s like when (spoiler alert of avengers endgame and black widow) black widow died me and my sister (Ollie) cried Bc she was our favorite. But when we watched black widow we came to love black widows sister, Yelena.She was so funny. And she almost died to save her sister well not really her sister they were both taken from their real family. We all loved that movie and we were supposed to connect our Apple TV so poppy could watch it but we forgot.😭.Besides that I don’t think there is an activity we all do.Thats kinda sad actually.For special occasions like birthdays, Easter, and Christmas we all like to call each other like my cousins and grandparents. Last year we woke up at six in the morning and our cousins called us to see what we got.I really love all more relatives but I don’t get to see them much.After we got out of quarantine we went to an airport we got to see our Uncle and Aunty and one of our cousins Bc Maya, was feelin unwell we haven’t gotten to see her in a while and I don’t want to type anymore Bc my fingers hurt.😐

My family and I carry out many activities such as exercising, playing board games like chess and watching movies to relieve stress and strengthen the bond between us.
Every weekend, my family and I would go to the park for a jog. my father, my brother and I would also go to a nearby basketball court to play basketball. We would eat lunch and go shopping after running or playing basketball. We would also play chess and watch movies on television if we have time.
On special occasions such as Chinese New Year, my family and I would go to Malaysia where my relatives live. We would play card games, cook and celebrate there. We play with fire crackers and watch lion dance and dragon dance. We also eat 'Nian Gao', a sweet rice cake that is eaten during Chinese new year. We also get to receive Ang Paos which contain money.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many activities that I carry out with my family so as to strengthen the bond between us. In my opinion, these exhilarating activities have numerous benefits that we reap, and are fun-filled at the same time. For example, I usually go to the beach with my family every week to cycle with them. Since we all enjoy the cool sea breeze whipping in our faces, time spent at the beach is certainly cherished by all of us. Going to the beach with my family is an excellent way for me to relax after a stress-laden week with my family, and with them, I have created a treasure trove of memories that I will always hold close to my heart. As for special occasions such as birthdays and festivals, we usually find time in our busy schedules to dine out at renowned restaurants. Although the safety management measures in place ever since the pandemic of covid-19, we did not let that hinder the special occasions we organised. After all, spending time with our families is of paramount importance, as it strengthens the bond we have between each other. Last year, for my birthday during the circuit breaker, we had a candlelit dinner and share funny anecdotes of our day. All in all, I feel that these activities organised are vital for our mental well being and I would recommend others to carry out similar activities with their families so long as they promote family bonding.

# data[].attributes.body
Activities I do with my family are reading, learning, cooking and going outdoors for walks. When we read, we share different point of views on what we read. We learn together when we take classes together or when we go to classes together. Cooking meals together is also one of the many ways  we start bonding in. As we walk around the parks near our houses, we share uncomfortable things about the day and will normal joke around the very upsetting ones to lift everyone's spirits.
Some special occasions we celebrate are Chinese New Year (CNY), birthdays, Christmas and the new year. During CNY, everyone helps out with the cleaning n decorating of the house. Sometimes we shift some of the furniture around. On birthdays, we would try to make something creative for the specific family member that is having the birthday. I remember making a cake for my father known as the "almost burnt oreo chocolate cake". It still tasted good but it took some effort to get the cake out of the tin as I forgot to put baking paper and butter the pan. There was another time where everyone forgot to get a cake for my grandmother, so we bought some durians and arranged them neatly, we then placed candles on the durian and made that made it the best cake of the year. During Christmas, we do not sing carols or sit down to a nice and hearty Christmas dinner, instead we sit down together and talk about the wonderful things in the family while watching Christmas movies. On the night of the day before the new year, we settle down on the couch and watch the new year celebration together. We countdown together and watch the fireworks outside.

1. My family and I will watch at least two movies during the weekends. We will watch movies such as "Wish Dragon" on either Netflix, Apple TV or Disney plus. We enjoy all the movies we watch. Sometimes we will also bring out some snacks to eat. I think spending time with my family is important because we can use our free time or the weekends to bond with our family.
2. My family and I will also go to my uncle's house to celebrate special occasions such as my family's birthdays, my grandparents' birthdays, my cousins' birthdays, Chinese New Year and Christmas Eve. My sister and I will play with my cousins there during the special occasions. Every time we go there, my cousins will always play video games with us such us the Nintendo Switch. Some games they have on the Nintendo switch are very fun for my sister and me, such as Luigi Mansion 3. The food my uncle orders during the special occasions are also delicious, such as pizza, chicken wings and salmon. My grandmother will also cook soup for my cousins, my sister and I.
3. My family and I will also play some board games during their free time. Unfortunately, they do not have a lot of free time so my sister and I always treasure the time spent with them. We will play board games such as Monopoly. I think family time is very precious because our parents may not have enough free time for us to do activities with them.

I love spending time with family. I play board games with my parents suck as monopoly and even mahjong. During home based learning last year. I usually played computer games as I was bored and had nothing to do. However, my parents decided to teach me how to play mahjong . We would play mahjong as a family every Saturday night and have a whale of a time after we finished. However, ever since my sister reached Secondary 2, she also became hooked to her laptop and there were fewer instances where we could play together as a family or even go out as a family. Despite still being able to play with my father and mother, I still miss the times where we all played games together as a family. Apart from board games, I would often go out for a jog with my mother and father in the morning and sometimes, we would even jog to the market nearby our house and buy breakfast back home.
During Chinese New Year, our whole family would go to our aunt’s and uncles’ houses for Chinese New Year and also receive some red packets. When we go to my Grandparents’ house for Chinese New Year, and my grandmother would then cook my favourite fried chicken for dinner.
we would all play some Games with poker cards and fake coins to play together. Family time is precious. If we can, we must spend more time with family.

Question 1 . Me and my family usually fly our kites at Pasir Ris Beach every weekend. The reason we do this is because we usually want to get away from all our problems in real life and relieve our stress. But other than that we fly our kites as my little brother enjoys seeing us flying the kites. He would laugh continuously and have a blast. It is also good habit for us to do so and we can spend more quality time with our family members. I usually just take care of my brother and let my parents do the work. I also don't really know how to fly a kite as the kite would always get out of control and fly elsewhere. I can learn anytime and get better at it, but due to school, I have little time to practice on it. But we dont usually find a good spot to fly our kites as there are many dogs and felines at the beach. My brother does not like them and he would get out of control. Then everyone starts panicking and the felines and dogs would also get out of hand. We also cant touch dogs as it is a rule in the Muslim religion.So that is why we always go somewhere far away from our house as the population of dogs and felines are higher. But we are also scared of boars so we go near the ferry . All in all, we always try to find a good spot and fly our kites to make my brother smile a bit and to take a breather.

My family and I (on occasions) go out to dine at new paces or visit our old favourites. We would do this on weekends or on public holidays. We would talk about our week. Just yesterday, we were walking all around CBD to find a place to have breakfast!

On festivals such as Hari Raya haji, my parents would give us money and let us spend it. We would also wear our traditional (and uncomfortable but nice) clothing and take photos. In the end of the day, we would have a scrumptious dinner out or have a great meal cooked by my grandmother.

Me and my sisters (I am the oldest and only boy ( ;-;) ) would help our grandmother bake too sometimes. I have also picked up an interest in cooking and I would help her prepare dinner for the family.

I would help my dad treat our cat by getting dirt out of his eyes(he had an eye infection). Before the COVID outbreak, I would go cycling alongside my dad. We would usually go for a long cycle to East Coast park or Bedok reservoir. We would also go bowling sometimes.

This is how I would usually spend time with my family.

Thank you for your attention

Activities i do with my family?
Just literally anything that we can do together when we have the time to do so. Errr......
Examples can be like sports or arts and crafts ( which i hate honestly but for the sake of my brother and mother, i just do some sometimes ).
Why sports? Ok, just to run around for a bit. Activities can be just tossing balls which is the root of why balls fly out of my grandparents house and either into the drain ( that happened yesterday evening ) or into neighbouring houses, which can be funny to the younger ones. Sometimes, the ball will roll down the slope and adults have to run after it on the road! ( talk about danger, thats very dangerous 0w0 )
Arts and crafts? Mainly for my brother and mother.Tell them you are gonna give them origami papers and my brother may make paper weapons (if he had the time ). Anything he needs help on will go to my mother ( who had been folding origami in her days too ).
Hmmmm......
Special occasions, i will say mainly Chinese New Year, and i like it (will tell you why as you read on ).
During Chinese New Year we will vist our relatives and stay to have lunch or dinner. Why i like these periods? Simple. Adults will usually play mahjong and kids do not get to participate, so we watch TV and do our stuff freely since adults are stuck at the mahjong table, so when they play till midnight, we watch TV  till midnight. When we visit our relatives, other than just going over to 拜年 ( bai nian) , we also talk to them, hang out with them and play games with them. (the last part is mainly on me my brother and my cousins who are younger than me and my brother)

my family celebrates cny and many other festivals. on cny we always visits others and we always feel happy and most of the times we can also receive a red packet. Chinese New Year, or the Spring Festival, is the most important celebration observed in China, with cultural and historic significance.

I cherish the time I spend with my family. We all enjoy staying together indoors and outdoors. We experience new things like going out to restaurants and exploring new cuisines . We also visit parks , museums and zoo. We go for walks while looking at the scenery. Families that eat and celebrate together stay together. We celebrate  Deepavali, each others birthday and many more memorable and fun occasions.
We spend time helping each other in household chores on a daily basis and make sure the responsibility is equally distributed without stressing anyone.

My  family and I do many activities. For example we all enjoy exercising. Exercising helps to reduce stress and psychologically benefits people. there is a saying that this resonates with, to kill two birds with one stone. Moreover exercise keeps you fit and reduce your risk of chronic  diseases. Exercise also helps to control your weight and uplifts your mood. There are many reasons why you should exercise! We all enjoy the cool wind caressing our faces! We all feel exhilarated while exercising.   All in all, my family and I enjoy exercising.

My family celebrates deepavali and many other festivals. Deepavali is the Festival of Lights and signifies good's victory over evil. During deepavali, we light up oil lamps and pray to the goddess of money and riches. All in all, we enjoy our family time and enjoy celebrating special occasions. Deepavali also brings mouth watering foods and new clothes Family time builds relations and you get to know more about your family. In conclusion, family time helps to reap numerous benefits.

Play chess as it helps me to think out of the box while having fun playing. I picked it up by seeing my father play and asked him to teach me how to play. At first I did not understand at all, but as time flew by, I started to improve. Personally, my family and I do not celebrate any holidays/events. But we do attend some celebrations from friends and relatives. However, during a public holiday we take advantage by playing games, cycling, completing homework and get more sleep. Personally, I do think that spending time with family is important as it is good to have someone who can lend a helping hand especially during PSLE. I also have some other activities that my family and I do but I do not want to make this entry so boring so ill not say any.

1. I do many activities with my family to grow our bond and understand each other better so that we can support each other better but also have fun. On normal days, my family and I make it a point to eat at least 2 meals together, ensuring that we have time to share our day with our family members and bond at the same time. On weekends, my family and I go to the nearby park to either relieve our weekly school/work life stress by enjoying the cool breeze and watch the soothing waves or cycle, when I first started cycling, my whole family was there to guide me and encourage me to never give up. I believe that spending time with your family is important as your family is your greatest supporter and critic as they know you better than you know yourself and might lend you a valuable lending ear and give you advice from experience.

2. A special occasion that our family always celebrates is our birthdays. On every one of our birthdays, we always buy (or make) a cake which is usually a surprise to the birthday boy/girl as we always try different cake flavours and decide which ones we like best(once we got my mother a marshmallow flavoured ice cream cake which she hated :)). we then present it to them in the evening after dinner and call all our other family members to sing a birthday song for them while they cut their cake.

Spending Time with Family

using 5W &1H to guide you to elaborate on the following topics : Activities that you do with your family & special occasions that your family celebrates

----------------------------------------------------____________________________________________
Once in a while, my family, which consists of my parents, me as well as my sister and sometimes my dog, would go to North-West Coast Park to cycle or simply have fun. We would go to different parts of the park to do so and if we are not cycling, we would bring my pet dog to this particular place called Dog Park.

My family would also play board games together every Saturday night and play different board games that we bought.

In retrospect, spending time with family, whether or not it happens on occasion or on a regular basis, is important. Many people have different ways to help with family bonding, and mine would be to leave the house together or simply just to play board games.

I like having dinner with my family as they always are interested in knowing what happens in my day. They are also trying to provide a listening ear for me. Even the small things such as saying hello or goodbye can create a big impact as these small details help strengthen our bond as a family. Families who share everyday activities together form strong, emotional ties. Families who enjoy group activities together share a stronger emotional bond as well as an ability to adapt well to situations as a family. Me spending time with my parents or participant in activities with them helps me build a positive sense of self-worth. When children feel that they are valued by their parents, they feel more positive about themselves. Family activities don’t have to be expensive trips out to be meaningful, the important part is just being together. You could go for a bike ride or play a game together. Personally, I like going out with my father and riding our bicycles together. This helps us strengthen our emotional bond as if any of us are having difficulties along the way of cycling, we can lend a helping hand. We can also think of different routes and that makes us more creative in a way as we are exploring the different ways of getting to other places. Sometimes my sister tags along and we can ride all the way from Siglap to East Coast Park! One of the reasons I really enjoy doing these activities with my family is because it helps me cope with my stress. Sometimes, your parents can be used as a stress buffer, talking about your own personal problems instead of seeking negative coping mechanisms like drinking alcohol, smoking or doing drugs. Studies have shown that one of the most things we will regret as an adult is not spending time with family. This is why we must not take them for granted and we must show love to them. If possible, spend as much time with them as these early years of our lives are important.
