CNY 2024 HAPPY LONG LONG WAY

Brayden 6Y11M21D

Bevlynn 2Y8M14D

This CNY we had to stay back in Singapore. Brayden being in primary 1 makes it difficult to plan because there's only 2 days for holidays. Furthermore, I had been so busy with work arrangements that I did not have anything planned for travels back. 

We had a modest and simple celebration on 1st and 2nd day of CNY; mostly staying home and going to TimeZone. The children enjoyed it. On the 3rd CNY day, we made a short 2-day trip to Legoland and JB. This time Bevlynn knows how to enjoy the rides more, so it was more fun. 

She's grown a little more now. She knows how to express her emotions very well. Always loving and fighting with her gor gor. Gor gor is being nice but sometimes does not want to give in easily to her requests. She feels very entitled and always asked for this and that; everything that the Gor Gor held in his hands. When the gor gor cried, she would comfort him. 

She knows bigger words now : Magic, Mystery, Legoland, trying to phrase longer sentences, "Mommy angry with gor gor, he's naughty, scold him and beat him." 

Brayden is trying his best to be a nice gor gor. He will hold Bevlynn's hand while walking and asking her to perform some funny actions to make her laugh. At TimeZone, he played bowling and acted like a winner even though he has just a small spare. We were in Legoland and we ended up in a boat ride under the rain. It was a very funny moment, we cannot hide, with no umbrella. Mommy was like "Brayden can you go faster" He smirk and said "Mommy I want to bump into every corner" stalling the boat and making it turn wrongly.  

I will miss this stage of their lives. HAPPY LONG LONG WAY!

In the CNY days, I have chances to help three elderly. One on a wheelchair and begging for money, one who looked like she had dementia and does not remember anything about a home, and last one who has knees issues and was holding a heavy bag. I am glad in life such opportunity to help people often comes along and I'd realized that we will someday grow old and grey. We would need to be more caring as a community and to help out as much as we could.
