Back home in Singapore

It has been 2 weeks and yet the feeling of coming back is not too great. The first few dasy we settled the school, uniform, car, books etc. Whatever that needed taken care of was taken care with ease. We even had time to visit the goat's farm and had our share of goat's milk. We visited Science Centre and became a member too. Yesterday we made time to visit Singpaore Discovery Centre and we even won a granddprize of $500 jetstar travel voucher. they even took a picture of the whole family. Loved the 3D Movie that came with the admission ticket most.

After the trip we went to Tan chin's place for a gathering. She is doing well and expecting number 2. Time flies and everyone has changed quite a bit. At least we are all parents now and thinking wise we are more parents-minded.

Been visiting Hong and baby. Seeing others with their babies really quite interesting. Really do not wnat to have another one since I have my hands full with my 4 kids. Just yestrerday I caned Charles so hard and I did not regret a bit. He made me so mad by locking himself in the room after I threw away his ice. He got it hard actually because I am transfering my anger towards my Mum in law towards him too. Somehow I really have to hand it to my MIL of the ability to make me a mad cow in a China shop.

Joe will be leaving on 10th Jan and I will be alone handling the kids. these few days we were practising to wake up at 6am and the 3 younger kids did not cooperate. They still try to get back to sleep after we woke them up. Channery is esp not keen in going to the new school. God must bless me in this department as my kids can be more stubborn than me!

Any idea how life going to be like? Well! we visited the Singapore MArina Barage yesterday and seems like everywhere, everyone is busy - busy in trying to fit in and doing what others are doing. lots of people trying to find a piece of land to call it their own. As for the singapore Flyer, its nice to be high up seeing a good view - some views are spectacular, others are not as good. However, everyone of us will come down to the surface eventually so there is actually nothing to compete or compare!

Am I going back to Workforce? Actually I must keep on telling myself I need to stay firm with my decision to be a SAHM. If I work, my kids will become " orphans" as I really have no energy and time for them.

People are our most valued assets and it's likewise in my family. I will have to master the techniques in flying a kite - when to let go and when to pull back.

Is it good to be back? Maybe , maybe not... the future is yet to be seen....
