Enjoy the little things in life..

//Mum-Son Date// One on one attention?  Have you ever thought that within your family that group dynamic is very different from a one-on-one dynamic? While family time is so precious amidst our busy work-family balance, one to one attention given brings on that boost of extra flavor much needed for the soul. I've only come to realize recently that one on one attention is so important. Some children only come alive when you get them alone and give them space to talk. Spending time with our children individually is just so important, am sure it will reap benefits we know not of in the long run! What it does?  Individual time strengthens bonds between one another. Group dynamics are very different from one to one dynamics. Guess spending time alone fills up love tanks way faster than we expects as I've experienced first hand with my son as he verbalized his wish to just spend time alone with me, so it's just us and there's no need to fight for attenti

//Connect// //bring together or into contact so that a real or notional link is established// Family life can be very very busy, be it dual-working families or functioning as a single working parent. In this time and age where we need to keep up with the pace of life with many different expectations placed upon our shoulders be it at work, in school, at home, various mindsets presented to us on various occasions as well as culture that we are currently placed in can pull us to different directions. How do we juggle the different hats we wear daily with grace and to balance out our time and connect with loved ones? Reflecting on this is so important as we take a moment to slow down at different points of our week simply to stop what we're doing in order to reconnect with ourselves, with each other and with the world around us by simply soaking our all with the time uninterrupted with loved ones, enjoying the bonds God gave us.   Our witty girl who brings joy to my heart

//Superheroes don't wear capes// Jason Wong's Workshop Just for DADS His humility can be felt  Sharing tips to all fathers  Moments of memories for fathers and children  Breakfast with dads Many dads in the house Never too late to share private moments with your child -over 80 fathers in the house turned up for our Father's Day Event- It was yet another memorable time for our dads in the house celebrating a day worth remembering- Father's Day. "Love-based parenting vs expectations-based parenting" Flashes of memories of my dad came to my mind, being the sole bread-winner of the house working hard and making ends meet. The traditional man with few words but shows love through actions of working hard makes me realised and only truly appreciate his way of love only when I reached my collage years  (Pretty late realisation-please do not be like me) and God opened up my eyes to see that tender and soft side of him

 //We don't always get it right, and it's ok// If any may feel stucked in any situation and can only see messes at your current situation, look deeper and you might be able to see that rainbow that is there shining causing a sense of warmth in the midst of chaos. :) Went to Singapore Art Museum and saw this beautiful rainbow reflection in the midst of entangled ropes which brings me to reflect upon many thoughts and hope it encourages all who read. Days of emotions may flood in, where many commitments fall on your laps on top of the art of juggling the different hats we wear daily, responsibilities to fulfill, and the relationships we held on in our heart might have a ripple effect of how we respond to different situations. So what if we don't always get it right? Is that ok? What ripple effect do we create? This is what i hope for us, for me personally as well hoping it encourages all who might feel the same way with truckloads of emotions rushing towards you intern

//ArtBox Singapore..First time for us!// Pink Himalaya Ice-cream for pink lady Always love our girlie chats Enjoying her sausage with Rossetti Flamingo Peek-a-boo Badge making @ Fable castle  Originally yours Careful! (Trick eye)  A joy to spend my time with..as always. Spending time with this precious is always a pleasure. The much raved about ArtBox last year wasn't a pleasant experience for many people with the many comments stated via media BUT this year, with three times the size was definitely a different experience! I didn't go last year..looking at pictures posted online wasn't something I want to be a part of, BUT this year with the extra time I have on hand as the boys wanted to do boys stuff we headed down to the ArtBox and I am glad I went with my precious girl enjoying my time. :) Thereafter spending our uninterrupted time exploring spaces around marina is simply a blast :) Good first time exposure for me per

"Who are these unsung heroes?" Celebrate unsung heroes with me because as we enjoy our moments with them we make this world a better place. Coming from point of view of a Pre-school Principal and parent, having firsthand experiences going through the journey of working with preschoolers on a daily basis with not just one, two, but whole lot of children all coming together with diverse personalities and emotions, understanding how one can get drained by end of the day with all their energy used up for the beautiful little ones under their care, I truly appreciate and honor with all my heart our unsung heroes of our society: Preschool Teachers or other wise known as Early Childhood Educators. Children can get extremely difficult and we all know there is no way to sprinkle rainbow sprinkles to sugar coat any situation. Our Preschool Teachers are unsung heroes for in the midst of the chaos at different situations as well as demands of a class full of children, the
