Super zuper distracted and it is darn hard to get my focus back! This is annoying me truck-loads and is really getting me off-track way too long. Concentration keeps filtering away every one second and there has been no will power to stop it nor pull it back to where it should have belonged! This zap-in-zap-out feeling leaves me disturbed, uptight, stressed, out-of-control. There are so much I need to get done (for work) yet..... I am struggling to just focus. Oh my 天! Waking up early, keeping a clear mind, listening to music to focus- Sorry it is not working at all. I am truly out of sorts. 😢

Early riser today; body clock just couldn't sleep anymore. Decided to be up earlier to enjoy the precious 1 full hour of quiet time all by myself. With soft calming music from my diffuser, I would love for this to set the scene for the day. Ain't gonna be greedy and wish this for many days ahead,  just for today as a start. The fresh air in the morning is just awesome.  Clean, crisp and light. Just the way life ought to be, right? The peace and pin drop silence is oh... so precious amd soothing. So perhaps it is right to set the mantra of the day " Just stop and breath" . How often do we actually do this when we know it can easily be accomplished? So my little nudge to you out there today, why not just stop and breath anytime today, amid all the craziness that will pop up unexpectedly? An awesome day ahead peeps!!

Heading off to Melbourne in Aug 2018 with Lil K in tow. My 2nd trip mum-son trip and Lil K has been patiently (well.. sorta) waited for nearly a year before he gets his turn for this special trip. So, why did I decided to do 2 mum-son solo trips instead of bringing both on a single trip? Well, I need and wanted to spend more time with each kiddo, doing special things and (hopefully) creating special memories in years to come. Had my friend not done his with his gal in 2017, I would still be sitting on this plan and probably end up beating myself for not doing it. Another reason for the solo mum-son trip is making this trip a pre-pri trip of their lifetime (actually it's because it's their last year in K2 to be able to travel anytime). Yes, I will be doing the same set of activities with both kids, in fact we are staying at the same hotel (cos it's super convenient for us to Fed Sq to board the day tour buses). The only diff is this year, we will be gone for 10 days...

Experiencing my first march holidays as a mum was an interesting experience. Interesting because I had embraced it as well as dread it. With 2 boys in tow, and with #2 constantly comparing with his brother, I had decided to let #2 take a 2-day break from childcare and join his brother at a 2-day Arts Camp with Artify Studio (their reg Sat art school). And so, the one-week holiday schedule for #1 went like this: Mon: Chill at home Tues: 2-hour Travel Light workshop at The Therapy Room (mainly to have him meet new friends and sorta throw him into a new environment all by himself) Wed & Thurs: 2-day Art Camp + visit ilight@Marina Bay Fri - Sun: Chill at home and get ready to return to school While it seemed rather harmless and bearable, it was tiring for me. While #1 was at the 2-hour workshop on Tues, the poor mum had to wander around Orchard Road to will my time, yet trying my hardest to control and not make impulse buys.... Definitely drank more coffee than I should...
