Le Xuan had done well for her school exams this year, and of course we were extremely proud of her. She was disappointed that she didn't qualify for GEP, her emotions so overwhelmed that it triggered her hives again, but thankfully she got over with that pretty soon, and is enjoying her school holidays now.
We went to Hong Kong for our holidays recently, but I must say it's super exhausting. Meimei fell sick on the second day, with continuous fever throughout the trip, and developed running nose and a bad cough too. When we finally came back to Singapore, her cough was so bad that we had to bring her to the clinic the very next day and was prescribed with one week of antibiotics and tons of other medicine for her bronchitis. In Hong Kong, almost all the places of interest were overcrowded, and large amount of time were spent on queuing, not forgetting various unpleasant service encounters (but the hotel staff were really friendly). As promised to Le Xuan, we stayed one night at Disneyland Hotel as part of her birthday celebration. Haha I must say it's quite unforgettable as we didn't even get to have a proper dinner that day, ended with in-room dining that arrived at 10.30pm and cost a bomb!! At least Papa managed to get a slice of cake to celebrate our darling's birthday, lol. From this trip to Disneyland, I must say Le Xuan has really grown and probably would have enjoyed Harry Potter Land more. Another conclusion: Meimei is not crazy over disney characters, and in fact she's afraid of them, hahahha.
Thankfully, the kids enjoyed themselves very much at Ocean Park. There were no long queues and they managed to play so many rides, and even got to see pandas and took cable car too! For me, I like the beautiful Chi Lin nunnery and the Nan Lian gardens where I felt more relaxed, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Both hubby and I thought that we would probably not visit Hong Kong again, and perhaps take a break from travelling next year. Most likely, it'll be a staycation at Sentosa!
In about two weeks' time, meimei is going to start school!!!! Praying hard that all goes well, and we can all adapt to the new routine soon. Enough about the kids, I must also mention that hubby has achieved his MDRT goal again this year! Tough journey but he managed to do it!!! So proud of him and hope he'll be an inspiration to the kids. As for me, I hope I can juggle even better between work and household, and being a mother and a wife, sometimes I really hope I can be an octopus, lol, and that there could be a specific knock-off time where I can put aside everything and look forward to sit and chill and relax.
