My King | Bird Paradise Singapore | BB Mooncake Festival

To wonder, why did he not treat me like his Queen? How can I be a Queen if he's not my KING. It is not just about receiving but also about giving him first. 

We were at Bird Paradise in Mandai for the first time after it moved from Jurong. Heavy rain in the park and the paths were slippery. Once the rain stopped, it was very pleasant to walk around. It has a nicer and easier to walk path with the children in the red cart. The park felt smaller than the previous one though. Although we have more open interaction with the animals. 

There are also many more restaurants to choose from too. 

The children liked the water play at Egg Splash. Good thing we remembered to bring an extra clothes. Brayden loved the SPLASH! Bev kept running away from it... "Hold my hands mommy" 

Bev and Bray was pretending to tweet like a bird to catch their attention. But one landed on Bey's shoulder and was very friendly with him, pecking him on his neck. Ouch! 

Found many photos on Hub's phone. Photography by Bevlynn. All the same photos repeated over and over. 

Bukit Batok Community Mooncake festival was a small event but it was a fun one for the two children. We had Pamelo competition, Coin Toss (booth managed by Hubs), lucky draw, lantern walk, balloon... etc..

Westmall has the Ball Challenge with Snoopy theme.

It has been a busy 3 weeks at work and at home. 

I was on a work trip to Bangkok Thailand. We had a Forum at our Thailand partner and I had to present a topic which was new to me. In order to prepare for it, I had sleepless nights. 

There were many happenings at office lately which made me very upset. One reason being my manager not being as supportive as he should be, many of the things are being "delegate" out to me and my colleague, another reason was there was a change in management and their way of work. It gets frustrating when we had to put in many more hours a day at work just to prepare numbers and reports. 

But I am glad I made the trip to Thailand with Joe and June. They are really very supportive team members. And we had very nice night massages (even being called noisy for giggling our way and also running in the heavy rain) Joe was all wet when we were there. We had really good food. 

Bevlynn and Brayden missed me alot in the 5 days trip. After the trip, Bev will asked me to bring her go "beach" and "gai-gai" (means to go outside). She makes really funny animal sounds especially the chicken, cow, elephant, snake, pig.... She's learning fast and lots. 

My mom and Max travelled to Singapore one day after I returned from my trip. They were here to join in the Pokemon Go event to catch exclusive Pokemons with Brayden. So we went around different shopping malls just to catch legendary Pokemons - Jems, Westmall, Westgate, IMM, Changi Airport, Jurong Lake Gardens. 

Brayden did a speech presentation and he did really well. Very proud of this little boy. He was amazing for someone his age. He did not stutter and spoke very clearly. 

Hubs has to travel to Phuket after that for work and I continued with my heavy workload at office. It is getting crazy, we shall see. I do hope things will get better in a few months...

There was one video which I saw recently during my trip to Thailand. A blind woman being lead by her young child, maybe around 8 years old or younger, he suddenly feel down the train track and he called out to the mother for help. But the mother was frantic searching and reaching out her hand to him, she couldn't help at all because she could not see what is going on. The only thing she could hear was that her child needed her at that moment. In a few more seconds a train would pass and luckily there was a fast passer-by on the other side of the track who came to the rescue. 

I cried and though to myself. There are many others who are unlucky being born or faced difficult circumstances in life. I am fortunate enough and I count my blessings for all the things I have in life. In life, we should not always chase and greed for what is above us but to look for and help those who are not as fortunate as us. Be contented, although not complacent!
