假期计划和 我的“新欢”

Yes, in about 2 weeks time, the year end school holiday will begin and it will last for a month plus.

Being the family holiday planner, I had been thinking hard of where to go for our family holiday. After some thoughts, I finally decided that we are NOT going away for this December school holiday…hee.

Basically, Adrian is still doing his course and it will end only mid December and by then, it’s almost Christmas time. So I thought it would be too late to go for holiday and 冬至is around the same time, so we must still in Singapore for the reunion dinner..: )

Also at year end, it’s hard to decide which country to visit as most of the countries are in their winter season and it will be too cold for the children.

With these in mind, I am now starting to plan for some local VACATIONS…haha.

Yes, we are now booked for 1 Staycation Vacation at Rasa Sentosa Resort and 1 chalet stay at Aranda Country Club for November & December respectively.

In between the holidays, I have make plans for some local tours – Zoo, Duck Tour, Flyers etcs. As long as I can get off from work, I will bring the children around and enjoy Singapore…haha. We will make ourselves like tourist at home.

I believe the important part of the holiday is the family bonding time that we get when we enjoyed the time together, regardless where we are…: )

新欢

Ever since I started working in my new place, I had joined the morning express. In order to make the train ride from AMK to Raffles Place more enjoyable, I decided to borrow library books and read them along the way.

The other day I was at Bishan library borrowing the children usual reading stuff. At the browser return tray, I saw there was this one and only CHINESE Book and I took it and read a bit. I felt in love with the book immediately and borrowed it. Since then, my morning express is never the same again and I am thinking why the train rides to and back is so fast..hehe.

Yes, my new found love is the series of Chinese romance books – 寻梦圆。After my 1st book, I had followed up & borrowed another few more. There are a few writers in the series and most of the stories are like fairytales where the Prince & Princess finally live happily ever after. I think for me, the thrill is reading Chinese and the dialogue inside the books are so humorous which in real life – I can find none..: P

Now with this new Love discovery, I will be going back to the library for more and more..haha.

人生就是一场梦！！

Club Med Bintan Again !!!

On Friday morning, I received a sms from my father-in-law indicating his keen interest to bring Anthea and Anders to Club Med Bintan for a short break. My mother in law had applied leaves this week to look after Anthea.

After getting my FIL’s message, Adrian checked with him the dates that they preferred to travel but it seem like they are flexible. Immediately I emailed to Elaine - my contact for Club Med and checked with her the availability for room on this week from Tuesday to Thursday and her replied was also immediate.

With the correspondences to and back, we confirmed a room for 3 of them for 3 days 2 night stay at Club Med Bintan. I decided against Anders going with them as I am worried he may still look for me in the middle of the trip and also it would not be easy for my in-laws to take care of 2 of them. Anders was agreeable to stay home with me and Adrian. I know he would love to go with Anthea jie jie, so I told him we will go back again next chance. I Love Club Med holiday too…hee!!

Anthea is very excited about the short trip and is looking forward to a good time in Club Med. She said it’s going to be buffet, buffet and buffet…ha-ha. I told her this time round she can join in the older group for kid’s club event and she will sure to enjoy them.

This school holiday has been lots of fun and entertainment for Anthea. She had travelled a week to Sydney, Australia and now she is going for another short break in Club Med Bintan. No wonder she said “it’s the best school holiday!!”

Of course, amid all the enjoyment, we had not forgotten about school works. She had completed her school holiday assignments. Now she is back to her tuition class, preparing for her academic when school starts in about a week time, if no further extension from Ministry of Education. *finger crossed*

This one month school holiday seem to has passes by so quickly too. In about another week, it’ll be back to school again. It’s our 1st one month school holiday break and I know there will be more to come. It has been a very fulfilling month for the family. We had our holiday and I had the chance to catch up with friends and ex-colleagues for lunches and meet up.

Next week, we will be going back to our NORMAL routine of waking up early again…haha : P
