8 Yrs 11 Mths

The kids did a staycay at ah yi’s and got treated to supper of popcorn and Find Nemo! The next day, they walked and ah yi brought them to breakfast in a mall—after 3 months of not visiting malls due to covid restrictions.

We did our walks when dad is not working and then had breakfast of croissants and cruffins. We used to walk every weekend but these weekends during the holidays, the kids have been at ah yi and popo’s and been missing out on all this training. It’s no wonder that they left off and find it hard to persist. But the sun and light was so good. Then we went to pray and give thanks to blessings for completion of the academic year

On another morning, we went by the canal as Huaihao wanted to teach me how to cycle. He was very patient and gave me instructions and advice. I learned how to balance. Then we headed to a bookstore as the kids wanted to read

On yet another day, dad and mom went out for the morning walk before coming back to pick qinzhi and huaihao for some freshly baked croissants . And when it rained, I passed hao the paper bag and he improvised this way

That evening, we headed to ah yi and grandpa’s for our weekly dinner and the kids got treated to Godiva’s. Hao massaged ah yi as usual

One week Ah Yi wanted to carry him

This is the christmas deco ah yi bought for Huaihao

One night we headed to Orchard Road just to bask in the christmas atmosphere. Due to Covid restrictions we couldn’t enter malls but we are not going to be stopped. Enjoy we did walking down Orchard Road, then had ice cream!

Hao hasn’t really been drawing of late, but its so nice to him decorate his timetable – to which he spells out time for using the ipad.

Other times he would spend it on lego mostly and this is one of his latest creations. Everyday he would make one to two new ones and he would tell me about it.

And one of his latest pleasures is talking to siri

This day we received a letter from MOE to say that Huaihao has been recognised for his consistent excellent work. So happy for Huaihao! Keep it up dearest!

One morning, we went for a walk to millennia walk. Seeing Huaihao in front, was symbolic, he was like my guide. His little legs carried him step by step, from East coast all the way to the central part of Singapore.

Then I had to reward him with Shake Shack

On another day, we headed to Orchard Road and spent the whole day shopping! It was one of the first times the kids went to a mall after so long, a few months of skipping malls and restaurants because we were not vaccinated,

We had Ootoya, bubble tea which they loved

When we came back, we were dead beat!

Chatted at bedtime with Huaihao, and I asked if I should continue with the second dose of the vaccination, to which he said, “you should never go back, you should go forward”

I argued with him that what if, what if, going backwards is one way to go forwards? I gave him some examples, and spoke about the side effects of the vaccination. To which he said, then its not a good government ! They are ruling with an iron fist! How can they, they will not be able to pay back a person, they wouldn’t be able to because that is that one lucky sperm (which came to fertilise the egg) and a person’s life is god’s gift! How can they do that to god’s gift—so rude!

Bedtime with Huaihao another night. There was a zoom session and Huaihao waited for me. I had him to thank when i finally sank into the bed, with him next to me and he says he loves me to the monad back a trillion QI times.

Asked him what QI means and he says it is more than trillion.

I gulped this down and swallowed to which he laughed. Then i spoke to myself, my cells, to use this wonderful love and light to heal the keloids, the cyst, the inflamed gums and wherever needs healing.

On mid december, we went for our first family camp, and this is about the first time Huaihao had the chance to mingle with kids other than school mates. Its also one of the rare times he gets to express his feelings in public for us.

And its been a while since we went jogging and walking about together as a family

After which we headed to Huaihao’s first school, Alexandra School before heading over to his new school Ngee Ann Primary School

We got him his books and school uniform. And there’s an agreement he has to sign on his responsibility as a primary school student of this school. How cute this is!

And after so long, Huaihao finally had a new hairdo!

Loving it so much! I love you Huaihao!
