"It's important to be kind because when you are kind, you make people happy. Kindness makes the world a better place for everyone. May all of us, no matter young or old, always spare a thought and be nice to each other."
This was what the kids said when asked on why kindness is important.
Yup, it's definitely easier said than done and at times, it can be hard to spare a thought for others, especially in this turbulent year filled with more downs than ups where everyone is feeling uptight, worried and uneasy.
That is precisely why we need to try even harder, show that we can be better, that we can unite and make our society a better one. This Christmas, let us all help to spread some joy in our community in every little way we can.
An act of kindess doesn't have to take much. For instance, by snapping a photo doing a high five gesture with this one-of-a-kind Singa Christmas tree and posting it on IG with words of encouragement, @waterway_point will donate a 5kg bag of rice to The Food Bank Singapore. Don't forget to include the hashtags #High5Singa and #WWPXmas20.
P.S. Enjoying a mum-and-daughters morning today with the girls. Gonna cherish the rest of December before these two have to go back to school. Happy hump day, people!

Happy weekend!
We made our way to River Safari yesterday and that makes three parks in five days, which is a new record for our family! Well, we actually wanted to cover Night Safari too but alas it was fully booked already.
Anyway, there was quite a bit of a crowd today and queues were formed nearly everywhere. We had to wait in line for half an hour to enter Mama Pandan Kitchen which we did because we love the Panda Pau and Beef Noodles, then we queued an hour early for the Once Upon A River show since the maximum capacity was only 50 pax, we also had to wait to catch the squirrel monkeys up close and last but not least, we patiently queued for nearly 60min to get onto the Amazon River Quest ride, which was our first time doing it as a family.
It was Asher's first experience since he just met the minimum height requirement of 1.06m and I was so thankful that the kids were all willing to wait for our turn without complaining. The boat ride turned out to be the biggest highlight of our day - the kids squealed in joy as we went over the rapids and we came incredibly close to a real life jaguar!
So yup, it was yet another day filled with happy memories and I am so grateful for all the precious family time we have spent together this week. Hope everyone had a wonderful term break too, yeah? Enjoy the weekend before school reopens!
P.S. We have completed a total walking distance of over 10km in these three days which is double of what we had targetted to achieve. Woohoo! Join us for the virtual Skechers Friendship Walk if you have not, yeah?

As our little island state turns 55 today, it's a great time to look back and see how far she has come and how much I have grown as a result of the journey.
Being born and bred in Singapore, I've never felt as appreciative of what I've learnt here, as much as I do today. Going to school and having to learn Mandarin was the bane of my existence. But today, I revel in the fact that I can order my dishes and point tourists in the right direction with my less-than-perfect Chinese, but the Chinese that I learnt in local school nonetheless.
I love how I've been able to build, and rebuild, my personal brand as and when I feel I need an "upgrade". Much like our little red dot - she, too, has had to learn along the way, about what works and what doesn't. And like Singapore, I let go of what no longer serves me and turn in the direction of where the sun shines bright.
My country is stunning, for the reasons below, and a million others I shall leave to another day -
* a burgeoning airport I want to get to early, just because there's so much to do and see (CAN'T WAIT TO TRAVEL AGAIN!)
* returning home, makes me beam with pride as I see her bustling port and know I've arrived
* her ever-evolving skyline sitting perfectly against the backdrop of history
* her food. her cleanliness. her tree-lined streets. her food. her history. her future.
Thank you, mum and dad, for meeting in Singapore. Falling in love. Having my siblings and I. And allowing me to flourish here. Thank you Singapore for allowing me to call you home.
And happy birthday Singapore!
