What a journey in 2019!

-
Zoom..... 11 months have passed and nearly ending. 1 more month before 2019 ends and another brand new year, new journey waiting eagerly at the sidelines to kick off.

The year of having 2 primary school boys really exhausted me, twist and strained my brain cells far worse than what yoga does to a flexible body. My vocal cords has definitely reached many notches higher, far exceeded my own expectations, all thanks to Lil K for testing my patience and endurance every single day for 11 months! On the other hand, I am truly blessed that Big K has been quite well-behaved compared to 2018, and has been quite trouble-free.

Although the past 11 months had been very challenging, I do enjoy moments where both boys were engaged in school conversations, it was quite a cute sight to see them talk about school, things that happened etc. I love and embrace such moments.

2020.... Before it even started, I am already fearful of it even starting. I 'get to experience another 1st again' - Big K will be having exams. Lil K.... Oh well I shall keep myself in suspence and discover all new things that this lad will create and bring, which is gonna be heck of another lifelong learning journey for me.

I shall attempt to enjoy the remaining months of 2019 while I can before I turn into a dragon mum and kill more brain cells and burst more blood vessels daily.

2019 and start of a New School Journey

-

2018 came and went with some fun fare and huddles for learning and memories. 2019 started fast and furious because I now have 2 school-going kids! Today is Day 2 of school and it was rush rush rush. Wonder how long it's gonna take to get into routine. Big K eased into Pri 2 easily as expected. But that doesn't mean this lad doesn't have his own struggles and insecurities. Pri 1 has been a great learning journey for him and he has grown so much, despite his tyrant behaviour on most days. How I wish I have octupos arms and hug this boy tight and hard and assure we can walk through the journey together confidently. I have to work harder at this, definitely. Lil K... Well he too eased into Pri 1 easily and confidently (such a surprise cos I hadn't had time to prep him well for this big new journey of his). Towards end of school yesterday at 12.30pm, he thought it was time to go home and took his bag and walked out of class. He still thought it was like childcare days whe...

Experienced my first-ever March Holidays

-

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...

Black vs White Muffins (Double Choc vs Oreo)

-

Baked a batch of Double Choc and Oreo Muffins for Big K's class picnic (19 Oct 17). Hadn't baked so many muffins in a day; it is tiring. While it's tiring, it is heartening to see the big bright happy face as well as reviews from colleauges.  Am not a great baker, I can only manage a few simple recipes and bakes such as chiffon cakes, sponge cakes, muffins and super limited cookies. So long as the 'customers' (aka kids, family, friends, colleagues) enjoy my bakes, I am happy. ☆modernmumbaker☆
