June Madness

So I had all these plans of bringing the kids out to museums, staycations, short trip overseas nearby... all of which did not materialise. First, no passports. We applied for the renewal of our passports sometime back in April. We were told that the wait time for the passport is about a month to 6 …

Here Comes the June Holidays

Today marks Isaac's last day of school for the term. This means he gets to enjoy his first June holidays which will last for a month. As we picked him up from school, he told me "mummy, i have a surprise for you! But I'll show you when we get home." I could sense his …

Mother’s Day 2022 – Staycation at Dusit Thani Laguna

Every year, we'd celebrate Mother's Day with both our mothers. When it is just the 4 (the happy Lins) of us, it would just be a simple meal outdoors or a day that I do not have to cook. Reason being, I think that Mother's Day is overrated. It just seems like a good time …

Canopy Web – Singapore Botanic Gardens

We left the house early yesterday for lunch and to let the boys meet up with their cousins. While on the way out, G realised that he had confused the days as we were only supposed to meet them the next day. The boys were disappointed, but they cheered up when they were told that …

Guess who’s back?

Yoohoooo. Am back from a one and a half years of hiatus and am recharged! A couple of reasons why I stopped writing. 1) I remember feeling so drained everyday from the endless chores and watching over the kids that I just want to crash by the time the kids sleep. 2) With the whole …

Covid 19 Circuit Breaker

In view of the C19 pandemic, it was announced on Tuesday that the nation will be going into Circuit Breaker mode for a month. Today is only Day 5 of the Circuit Breaker so we are still alive and sane. Although we are not able to go outdoors unless absolutely necessary, I actually think it …

Isaac is 5!

And just like that, isaac is 5! 2020 is not a good year with the ongoing covid 19 pandemic. We had plans to go overseas and spend time by the beach because we knew how much he loves the beach. Unfortunately, the situation is as such. The lucky thing is, we did not book tickets …

Back from Hiatus

[21 February 2020 || Isaac at 4 years 11 months, Ian at 6 months 18 days]  Been busy with keeping the house real clean because of the Covid 19 saga. Thankfully, we finally got someone to help with the cleaning on Saturdays so the load has been lightened, especially the ironing. Both boys have started …
