The Relocation

A lot of things have happened since the last I posted. Now that I have a bit of extra time on my hands, I was thinking of noting them down here. Isaac has truly grown to be a joy to both me and Francis. He is now 19 months old, how time flies! He can count from 1-20, is obsessed with animals and Old MacDonald, and utter simple words. I am ready for #2!

Some may or may not know that my husband has been working in Singapore for the past one year and hence I have always been (almost) like a single parent. Thank God for my own parents who is there to help out. He only comes back over the weekend. 

I knew that this is not a doable long-term solution, with no extra help and the family being apart. I am exhausted from work - having to work long-hours. Typically I am only relieve off work at around 9ish. By the time I am back home, I need to do simple household chores, wash Isaac's stuff, and pack his things for daycare tomorrow. Isaac gets up early at 7:30am and thankfully he is pretty independent, so he can drink his milk while I quickly shower. This is a general routine on good days. 

However, on days that he is unwell I am a complete zombie with severe lack of sleep. My ELs has been maximised as I am the one constantly on leave having to take care of the little one. 

That being said, I have not known fatigue as I do now. Work performance has plummet and I can no longer concentrate and put in the hours as I work like to at work. 

And so, we've decided to relocate down to Singapore to be with my husband. And hence, began the tedius tiring exciting journey of a migration. Doing it all (almost) on my own!

XOXO,

Weekend Getaway : Singapore

Note : Long overdue post.

In April, my family together with Bear headed down to Singapore to watch the Lion King Musical Broadway over the weekend. Yes, I am refine like that. :p

On the way down, we couldn't resist stopping by Malacca Town for its famous chicken rice balls. Can't say no to yummylicious balls, can I? Good thing was that my balls cravings were satisfied. The bad thing was that the shop which we went to was jam-packed so we opted for another one called Formosa something. Needless to say, the chicken and the balls sucks. Beggars can't be choosers right?

Gotta say though, the place has rather good ambiance. Very typical Peranakan setup. My bet is that the house was formerly a Baba Nyonya residence which was converted into a shop.

After lunch, we were strolling along Jonker Street in search of desert (i.e. cendol) and was busy snapping pictures.

And found it!

Thereafter, we promptly made our way to Singapore. We checked into Royal Hotel in Newton Street. Nothing to shout about, it was relatively cheap and the rooms were clean. So no complaints. :)

The Lion King Show was held in Marina Bay Sands. And that place is world class! The architecture is amazing! I was stoked! KLCC loose hands-down .. serious!

The Lion King show was amazing! Granted we paid SGD88 each (which translates to RM220). Not that cheap but worth every penny! We sat at the aisle (a tip given by the organizers) because the animals will come in from the door behind. :) Love love love that show to bits! The songs were good. The music was good. The cast was good. Thoroughly enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind watching it again.

On Sunday, we took the opportunity to drop by New Creation Church and the service as expected were impacting! Pastor Prince is such an anointed, eloquent, and funny speaker. His grace messages as usual were powerful.

And check out the queue!! That's normal for every Sunday service!! These people are so faithful to hear God's Word, I'm inspired!


And there sums up my short getaway trip to Singapore. :)

Love;
