Godma’s Visit

Their offical Godma is a very busy woman who takes on duties as a doting Godma, a wonderful friend, a filial daughter and a passionte follower of Christ who serves in church. Despite her busy schedule and routine, she came to my house to pay us a visit. 

The kids were happy to see her and though she was able to stay for a short while, it matters a lot to the kids as they were able to spend some quality time with her. They spent time catching up and as usual, she will always remind the kiddos how much God loves them and how blessed they are. We are really blessed and honored to have her as our girls’ Godma who loves them and care for them. 😊

 

Thank you Sue for the beautiful friendship and you are such a wonderful Godma that was sent from above.

Little Pumpkin Turns SEVEN

How time flies! Our little pumpkin turned SEVEN today! She always feels sad when she attends her friends’ birthday earlier in the year and had to wait till the end of the year to celebrate hers. We always tell her that good things have to wait and the celebration will be bigger… hahaahahahah We also reminded her that she shares the same birthday month as Jesus and told her that she is really blessed.

 

After a staycation at Shangi-La Hotel Singapore over the weekend, we brought her to one of her favourite Italian Restaurant, The Pizza Bar for lunch. She ordered her favourite Truffle Mac & Cheese and gave a thump up for the lunch (as usual). Headed to town to shop for her birthday gift and this would be the best moment as she gets to choose whatever she wants and no one is complaining… hahaahahahah

In the evening after a simple family dinner at home, we had a small cake cutting ceremony for her to sum up the whole week’s celebration. She is really happy though no big parties but she mentioned that she had a ball of a time too. 😊

Happy Blessed Birthday Little Pumpkin! May the good Lord always keep and bless you with happiness and good health always. We love you soooooooooooooo much!

Birthday Staycation

It’s Little Pumpkin’s birthday in a few days’ time and we decided to have a staycation at Shangri-La Hotel Singapore since we are unable to host birthday celebrations due to Covid restrictions. She was so excited when we told her that we would be heading out for a simple celebration, but she had no idea that we would be going for a staycation.

 

When we arrived at the hotel, she asked if we would be having luncheon at this hotel and when she saw us unloading our bags, her eyes lit up with a bright smile. She was so happy and kept thanking us for bringing her here. We did a brief check-in and were assigned to our room without delay. After checking into our room, we hurried to book the activities for the kiddos. 

We played the hotel’s history hunt with the kids as they want to win a prize once all clues are found, and they were so excited to get it done quickly. I am happy that the hotel provides such interesting activities for the kids and at the same time, they can learn the history of the Shangri-La Hotel. Thumps up!

For dinner, we booked Waterfall Ristorante (one of our favorite Italian Restaurants) and man… little pumpkin was so happy and enjoyed her pasta so much. She said that the kids’ Beef Bolognese is the best she ate so far. The restaurant manager kindly arranged a tiny birthday cake for her as we mentioned that we are celebrating a birthday upon reservation. 

It makes us happy to see you happy Little Pumpkin. We love you so much!

Woke up early this morning for our breakfast at The Line and thankfully, it was not as crowded as we expected. The buffet line is closed but we can order our breakfast at our table and be served. Honestly, we preferred the buffet breakfast as we can check out dishes and take whatever we like but at this moment, we are only able to order and wait for it to be served to our table.

Let’s hope the covid situation will be stabilized or in fact, be over soon so that we can get back to our life before Covid.

Right after breakfast, the kids wasted no time and got changed into their swimming costumes and plunged into the pool. We couldn’t swim yesterday as it was raining, and the pool was closed. The kiddos had a ball of a time in the pool while I chillaxed at the sauna.

Happy Blessed Birthday Little Pumpkin

Yearly, we try to provide our little pumpkin with a celebration for her birthday by organizing a party with family and friends. This year, we had to give it a miss due to the Covid restriction where we are only allowed to have not more than 20 pax for any gathering.

 

We decided to hold a smaller scale birthday party for her at home instead and inviting parents in law over dinner and simple cake cutting ceremony. Though the baby girl is upset and disappointed but she was happy when she saw the cake I made for her. 

I made her favourite Oreo Cheesecake and had it decorated with her current favourite cartoon character – Peter Rabbit. I made some mini cheesecakes to distribute to my sis-in-laws so they too can enjoy the sweets at the comfort of their home. Little Pumpkin is really happy that we had this little celebration at home. 😊
