Our 1st family trip


It has been a long time since I last travelled with my family. Ever since I was pregnant with my first born, Charis, I am reluctant to travel. The thoughts of dragging the bags full of diapers and milk powder and 2 rascals running about with me chasing after them totally shut me down. Now they are older at 6YO and 4YO, I am much prepared to bring them overseas. This trip is rather a last minute trip, no much planning to be done. We are going to Bangkok for a start!!! This makes me feel great! Finally I made my first move.
Since it is a last minute trip, I have a hard time getting the flight. Budget airline is out as I am bringing my parents along and with PH around the corner, most flights with good timing are full. Lucky I did managed to find one through Zuji.com.sg though the arrival date is early by 1 day. It makes our trip longer by 1 day to 5D4N. I am not complaining. :)
The kids are very excited when they heard of the trip. Charis is counting down to the day everyday. I can feel her excitement. Gregory is extremely obedience in case we travel without him.
Finally the day has come! 1st Oct 2014 ~~~
 

Off we go!
Day 2 to Hello Kitty Café and Siam Shopping








Lucky we went early. There is no queue but when we stepped out of the café, there was a long queue


Look yummy!













Day 3 to Erawan Shrine to pray.
 Taking tutu ride at only 20 baht, the kids love it







 
After praying, we went a cab to Chinatown. The ride cost us about 200 Baht
The restaurant that we had our lunch. Yummy shark fins!

Day 4 to Chatuchuk Market
 
We took a 7 seater cab to Chatuchak market which cost us 300Baht (about SGD 11). Everything is so much chearper here. The clothes sell so much cheaper than what my dad bought at MBK. Similar design and material. No coconut ice-cream which they waited for, as we try a dessert which is nice. Grass jelly & brown sugar with ICE. it taste very nice.
After the market, we went back to Siam square for our late lunch. We settled our lunch at SomBoon Seafood, which it is good though it is not the favourite Somboon Seafood restaurant that bloggers recommended. Good enough to satisfy us and gentle to our pocket too :)

Bought toys for the kids before we call it a day
 



Day 5 back to Home Sweet Home
 
The trip is better than I expected. We had a good start when we met Thomas Ong and Wang Biren in the plane. They were just sitting 2 rows behind us.
We survived the long shopping  with 2 kids. They got tired easily and we had to take turn to carry them, but they did enjoy shopping for their clothes and toys.
It will be better if our taxi is not involved in the car accident which scared us badly. Lucky we are not hurt. Xie tian xie de

Arrival of baby Nicholas

19 April 2021, we welcomed our new member :) he has came to us as a surprised gift. I got to know I was pregnant last Sep, at first it came to me as a shock rather than surprise. Firstly I did not thought that getting conceive is easy, for all previous pregnancy, I have tried ways and means to get pregnant, and now I did not even try and I strike jackpot! Of course, baby equal joy!!! We broken the news to our kids and Charis even cried when she heard it. My pregnancy journey is not a smooth one, at 40 year old, I feel my body is not prepared and weak for this pregnancy. I have bleeding for the whole T2 and pelvic pain for T3. Basically i need more and more bedrest and because I get to work from home due to covid 19, I did not have to travel to work or request any medical leave. 16 April 2021, I am at week 37 plus 4days, during the gynae check, I was already 2cm dilated, I am excited. My inital plan is to induce on 19 April as I am worried that the fliud level will drop after week 38...

Holiday mean FUN!

HAPPY!!! I started to love school holidays more! For 1 reason! To wake up late! Ok, I don’t get to sleep until 自然醒 but it is still a joy to wake up 1 hour later than the usual timing 。。 After all ever since have kids, sleep until 自然醒 is a very much luxury for me   Holiday mean FUN! As a working mommy, I cannot spend whole june holiday with them but I try to take 1 or 2 days leave off work to spend time with them. We have watched Jungle Book together on 27 May after their parent-teacher-meeting. And I hope that I can bring them out once a week to enjoy during this holiday. After having Kolby, we missed out a lot of thing together. Playing with them and bring them to play are 2 different thing. I want to play with them. Have fun with them. That why a helper will be good if someone can help to look after my kopi boy while I bond with my 2 darlings. But now, it is too late to get a helper as kopi boy will sure reject strange faces.   Charis scored well, not hig...
