Sentosa





































































































Some memories cannot be erased......
We went to Sentosa at least 4 times this month!!! I brought my kids there by myself recently and I muz admit it was quite frustrating and weary at times when my kids do not CONSCIOUSLY cooperate !!! BUT I repeatedly told myself that the outings were meant to be fun, spontaneous and whatever it will be........ I relaxed and just enjoyed being with them and tried not to fuss over the extreme heat, or the sand over my mat and bag or their exemplary behaviour, or didi's constant yelling or even meimei clinging to me!!!!!

I was determined not to let my fussiness, my escalating anger, brimming impatience or my unrealistic expectations ruined this "history" that we had created together!!!! At the end of the day, I was exhausted cleaning up the kids, listening to their everlasting whinnings, chasing after them, coaxing them to eat and still had to drag them home. AT that moment, I wished , a fairy God-mother could just instantly flag her magic wand and send us home IMMEDIATELY!!

BUT I was reallly satisfied when I see how they enjoyed the trip despite of whatever hiccups happened. I realised there is NOooo perfect outing, but a right attitude and cheerful mindset. We still CAN have splendid and AWESOME time together. I asked Valerie whether she enjoyed the trips to Sentosa, she exclaimed "SSSSSSplendid!!!" So what more do I ask..........a captured memory for my children, my precious, my pride and joy (whatever included in the package).

Mcdonald breakfast











A family that eats together stays together.....My parents insisted our family to eat together every weekends since we were very young and I believe this purposeful weekly gatherings weaved a strong bonding among my siblings.
Now, I hope that my nuclear family will continue this good habit of eating together. Mcdonald breakfast offers this drained mummy a break and yet creates fond memories for us when we eat together. Hence, this "Mcdonald tradition" will go on for quite some time......
