Meimei turns 5!!

Can't believe my littlest princess has turned 5 this year! Omg, always thought she's still a little baby, but she's growing up so fast! 

Doubt she'll ever remember that her 5th birthday is during a worldwide Covid-19 pandemic, and all of us are still supposed to put on a mask wherever we go, except children 6 years and below. So she considers herself lucky, lol. 

It was a simple celebration as usual this year. Got some pretty birthday decoration at home for our yearly birthday phototaking backdrop. Dear and I brought the girls to Changi Airport Swensens for a meal although our initial plan was to bring them for a birthday picnic cum kite flying.  Too bad the weather didn't allow the original plan to work out, but will surely bring them for a picnic some other day. 

Meimei was also delighted to have Abby with us for our birthday meal. It was an evening full of smiles and laughter to have great company and of course her favourite food like fries and ice cream. 

Meimei wanted her birthday to be Frozen themed this year, so of course her birthday dress had to be a Frozen Elsa dress. We also bought her a Frozen cake for our cake cutting celebration at home together with jiujiu, jiu ma, Abby, popo and gong gong as well. And since she had become a pokemon fanatic or poken master this year, her presents included Frozen cap, Frozen water bottle, Frozen necklace and hair brush, Frozen lego set, pokemon monopoly and of course her most favourite gift from jiejie -- Snowy Vulpix soft toy!!! She loved it so much that she had to bring it for her Kuno and K-pop classes every week, lol.

I'm glad that our little princess had a blast on her birthday, and I wish that she'll continue to stay healthy and happy, and become a real pokemon master!!! Love you!!!

Circuit Breaker 2020

Until now, I still can't believe that the world is experiencing a pandemic now, with the Covid-19 virus attacking every country in the world, infecting and killing lots of people.

Singapore isn't spared too, with around 13000 people infected, mostly the migrant workers. So we're all now stuck at home with what the government calls the Circuit breaker, hoping that the situation will be improved when everyone stays home. School going children are having home based learning, with live Zoom sessions with teachers some times. Even all my tuition classes are conducted online now. We have withdrawn meimei from her preschool just before the circuit breaker kicked in, so it will be home based learning for her all the way till Primary One then.

During the circuit breaker period when everyone is stuck at home, it's really draining for me to constantly think of activities to entertain/ educate the kids while working at the same time. Being a woman is just too tough, I pray that the societal norms will change by the time my precious girls grow up.
