Our First Snow~

7 Nov 2025: oee saw his first snow…

It's his first "snowing snow" snow!

& it was also our first "snowing snow" snow!
Had my first snowflake in my hair! LOL nice!

What a moment! & what a day it was for us!
& also like…what a cold day it was for us!

Celebrating October~

For the Mid-autumn Festival…
For Children's Day…
For the kid's first public performance!

& for more reasons to come…for the new month of October has just begun…


Song of the Day: Can't Stop The Feeling! - Justin Timberlake

For Fish & Fireworks~

Yay to fun times at Vietnam's largest island:

Phú Quốc~

Yay yay!

Yay yay yay!

Even if it's just getting to eat the most heavenly-tasting spicy grilled fish for dinner together night after night…& getting to watch the most spectacular fireworks with the most EPIC feels ever…with family with love…on our last night no less…

This trip is worth it…our experience is complete…my heart is satisfied~


Quote of the Day: As fireworks light up the night sky, let our dreams illuminate the path we tread. -unknown

Disney Garden~

There's this [Disney Garden of Wonder] now…

At Floral Fantasy…at Gardens by the Bay…

Being under one roof with Mickey & Minnie…
…even if it's just for a moment…is nice~

Song of the Day: Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Theme Song
```It's the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse…
```Come inside…it's fun inside```

Celebrating SG60~

This time it's planned…it's intentional…

We joined in the National Day celebration…in the heartlands~

& seriously…just check out our loot…

This year we watched the NDP on TV too!

What a special National Day! It's SG60!

Song of the Day: We Will Get There - Stefanie Sun

Ticking Ticking~

This is just the first month back to the original school routine…

& all these appointments in our calendar are already piling up…

With each ranking high in urgency…in importance…in priority…

Starting to Tick~

Having to do any blood tests at all…is scary enough…

& now that I've seen the whole process of how it's done…I think a finger prick blood test is actually much scarier than a normal blood test?!

In any case…it's been yet another painful experience…

Sudden trips to the A&E are just never anything good…

Legoland for 105cm~

At 107cm…the boy can take practically all the rides already!

So this time we managed to take all the rides!

All the dry ones that is~

So…it's time to introduce roller coasters to the kid right? Of course~

& now we have oee's first roller coaster ride photo…
taken on his 1st real roller coaster ride…

But looks like he really does not like roller coasters very much…lol~

The boy would prefer lego~

Only managed to watch just a few shows again this time…oh well~

Anyway…one year later…we're back at the same hotel~

Back at the same swimming pool at the same hotel~

With a few familiar & a few new food options around the hotel now~

Nice…every trip's a new experience!

Song of the Day: Come On - Energy
```Hey…Come On…Energy 在释放```

39.2 Degrees~

It's a FEVER again~

For how long this time?

A Week In Okinawa~

The part of Japan with neither ramen nor chawanmushi…

But instead…with Okinawa soba…taco rice…& sea grapes…

It's Okinawa~

With new adventures for the kid~

幸せだね~

& he got to play at a beach again~

It's our Okinawa week for 5!

& so we conclude 9 flights in total this year…

No wait how many?! I can't believe it either…

Song of the Day: 唐船ドーイ - 沖縄 音のおみやげ 決定盤

Fever To Flight~

It's the fever of excitement again…literally…the FEVER…

Okay I suppose it's the fever of over-excitedness again?

This time…the fever started just 20hrs before our flight…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

So since 5am it's been here…

& now at 5pm it's still here…

Like are we going to make it?

Well…we'll find that out later~

A For Assessments~

We've finally gotten off the bullet train of assessments…after a month of it…

Next…we'll be getting on the next train to the next station…as per the plan…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

Tomorrow…the new journey will begin…for him…for me…

Tomorrow…our new long & laborious journey…will begin…

Children's Day Fun~

A visit to One Punggol CC…

That's a first~
Playing at a bouncy castle…

That's a first~

Participating in a McDonalds event…


…& no wait…even more ridiculously…

…a BABY SHARK-themed McDonalds event?


That's most certainly a first!

Well what can I say…it's an awesome Children's Day for the child~ LOL~


Quote of the Day: You've made your bed, now go bounce on it. -Peter Scott

Bloodshot Eyes~

Eyes that look something like that…

Good to know that at least it's neither itchy nor painful for the kid…

But the task of having to drip anti-bacterial eye drops into his eyes?

That's the challenge! That's the challenge! That's the real challenge!

Pre-schools In Twos~

Had really not expected this…to be very honest…

But well it's now most certainly happening again…

The dual-school norm…the dual-school routine…

It's so going to happen again…like all over again…

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … …

It's time to get mentally prepared…to adapt to yet another new normal~


Quote of the Day: The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one. -Malcolm Forbes

Teacher's Day Or Children's Day?

The Teacher's Day weekend felt more like the Children's Day weekend…

Playing with water at a water playground…
Playing with balls at an indoor playground…

Teacher's Day or Children's Day…
It's a happy weekend for the kid~

Quote of the Day: Play is the road to childhood happiness and adult brilliance. -Joseph Pearce

Celebrating National Day~

Queuing for snacks…sitting to chill…

Watching fireworks & drones…live…

In the heartlands…for the first time~

The First Camp~

& it's at Shah Alam for the first time…

…for 5D4N~

& we got to play at i-City!
Where the kid had his first experience of fake snow…

…his first game of bowling…

(With balls so small & heavy…I failed to get even a single strike…)
…his first circut car ride…

…& his first ferris wheel ride…
