This was taken at 11pm last night when we were feeling energetic and happy from the day's happenings.
To be honest, we had a terrible Friday, one that left me in agony, tears, guilt and lingering questions of how I can be a better mum. It was the motivation I needed and so I decided to be an overachiever for a day and took them out on a mum-and-kids adventure yesterday.
In the morning, we scooted out to a new place in our neighbourhood to explore the surroundings and ended up having a tasty breakfast which included scrambled eggs, corn cobs and crispy bolo buns. Then we went for a two-hour swim under the hot sun and were lucky to make it home just before it started to rain.
I was thinking if they needed to nap but when they decided against it, we went on a night adventure and took a one-hour train ride to Old Airport Food Centre. The stars were aligned as we managed to get a table within minutes and ended up having a $14 meal consisting of yummy bak chor mee, hokkien mee and sugarcane drinks. The kids said "很好吃! Very delicious!" and I hope they will always remember that the best things in life can be very simple.
We then made our way to Decathlon Singapore Lab where there was a queue to get in but thankfully we didn't give up. Yup, after having fun in the testing zones, including trying for a long time on the pull-up bars, we made our way home with this new baby and two yoga blocks. I've been wanting to teach the 4yo boy how to ride a two-wheel bike like how I taught the sisters previously. So there we were, on our one-hour journey home with our hearts full. The hubby told me to take a taxi but I refused to spend that $18 and hey, our train fares totalled to just $3 and it gave me a sense of accomplishment, you know.
It turned out we were all hungry when we got home so I fixed a couple of snacks for everyone to enjoy before we hit the sack past midnight. It's gonna be a beautiful Sunday too and the kids wanna go cycling and rollerblading! Gotta think positive to make positive things happen, yeah? Happy weekend, people!
P.S. Thankful for helpful kids and our handy 11yo Maclaren stroller, phew!

Dear all,
In light of the recent happenings of our dear planet's way of waking us all, that we now, more than ever, need to change our ways, but most importantly, how much we need each other more than ever.
Collectively as a race, a species, there is a sense of urgency that calls upon us to unite and help each other, however way we can. Be it being there for each other emotionally, physically, or even financially if that's how we can help, but the point is, it's time to dig deep in our hearts and find that love and that light that once and will always bind us all.
As you all know, the recent catastrophic weather has left many families, and that means it includes children, homeless, even now left without families, without a home, without necessities that we all take for granted on the daily.
I recently met two charity warriors on the streets of Los Feliz (my neighbourhood) in Los Angeles. I have to be honest, i usually would be in my own world and wouldn't stop as i stroll pass, as i'm sure, many of us has done, but that day, a voice came to me and told me to turn around.
Both of them were nice young people who were working towards helping Save the Children fund, that's been around since the 1930s, and their aim is to help children GLOBALLY.
I cant imagine how tough their jobs were, to try to catch the attention of the passer-by's, let alone asking anyone for 10 minutes of their time, AND asking for a donation?
Well, i'm glad i did.
The minimal donation is $23 (USD), which is spread throughout to an entire month for a child, that's less than $0.80! Less than 80 cents! Per day!
I wish i had more that day to help, but best believe, it won't be my last donation to them.
I am in no way affiliated with them but this is just to spread the good word to everyone out there who might feel the need to help out children who are in need.
Recent focus being the hurricane victims.
Here is their Facebook page Save the Children
And here is their website:

Shoutout also to their street team, Austin & Austin for fighting the good fight!

So I've been on a juicing spree this past couple of months. Bought a slow juicer so I could start juicing for my family and I. The results has been amazing. Hubby and I literally feel healthier and lighter, and a lot of stronger.
Today I felt like doing a bunch of new juices for someone who fell ill recently. To be honest, normally I'll just send a "get well" wish, or even pay a visit with a lil present that I would have bought on the way. But this time I wanted to do something a lil different. By doing a bunch of juices for the person.
It may not seem much but instead of buying a gift, I wanted to "do" a gift. So here I am doing juicing in the middle of the night (because the kids are finally asleep and it's all the time I have). I hope these juices will help you heal a lil quicker and make you feel like a million bucks, my friend. Maybe I'll do a bunch of new juices for my fellow policemen that jaga my neighbourhood so well. Grocery shopping again tomorrow!

Changed the lyrical structure, but still relatively the same;
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
Cause you know that I can't trust myself with my 3AM shadow
I'd rather fuel a fantasy than deal with this alone
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
I wanna hold hands with you
But that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna get close to you
Cause your hands and lips still know their way around
And I know I like to draw at night; it starts to get surreal
But the less time that I spend with you, the less you need to heal
I wanna sleep next to you
But that's all I wanna do right now
So come over now and talk me down
So if you don't mind, I'll walk that line
Stuck on the bridge between us
Gray areas and expectations
But I'm not one if we're honest, yeah
But I wanna sleep next to you
And I wanna come home to you
I wanna hold hands with you
I wanna be close to you
But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
But I wanna sleep next to you
And that's all I wanna do right now
And I wanna come home to you
But home is just a room full of my safest sounds
So come over now and talk me down
