RT/WW - All Packed and Ready to Go

This is it! The one we've dreamed about, diligently planned, researched, frequently talked about. Woohoo! The much awaited vacation has finally arrived and we'll be heading to Dubai, Europe and Moscow leaving behind work, family and friends for 24 days. It has been a hectic week of trying to get all the loose ends wrapped up before we leave.

We've been preparing so much for this trip and hope everything will go smoothly without any hiccups at all. Nevertheless, this huge vacation promises to be another great experience with wonderful memories.

Most likely, I won't be posting anything during my absence. So people, don't miss me too much. Please pray for a safe journey for us.

Happy Labour Day!

It’s finally the end of April and tomorrow is Labour Day where we celebrate and take some time away from work. Woohoo! A three day weekend awaits us starting tomorrow, how cool.

There's a lot to look forward to and I'm excited about the weekend ahead. The weekends that I enjoy most are the ones which are usually spontaneous, fun and not heavy on planning.

This weekend will definitely be spent on typical house chores and devoting my quality time with kids, but I also fully intend to relax and pamper myself either with a shopping spree or by getting glammed up at a beauty salon. :)

Ultimately, I like to spend a bit of quiet time alone taking care of my own needs instead of others all the time. C'mon, everyone needs at least one indulgence, right?

How's everyone else doing? Hope everyone has a great labour day weekend!

Hobbies for kids

School exams have finally ended. With the long school holidays coming up next month, it's definitely a great time for children to destress, relax and recharge from stressful times. I believe most moms are so looking forward to the school holidays as well so that they can get enough beauty sleep and not having to wake up so early to attend to school run each day.

I need to start planning some activities to keep my kiddos preoccupied. Otherwise, I have more squabbling, disagreements and bickering to listen to at home. Children need pastimes to explore new exposures and to grow as individuals.

I always encouraged my kiddos to partake in any opportunities that they find to be delightful, exciting and beneficial at the same time. Nevertheless, I'm in the midst of searching suitable activities for them. I believe hobbies are educational tools and it will benefit them in many ways.

I notice my kiddos can be so addictive to online games or Playstation 2 that when I approach them to help me with the house chore, they would give me 101 excuses and vanished from thin air. Looks like the internet access has become the most important tools for children these days. At times I wonder if the virtual world would affect my kiddos' social development.

I'll be taking a couple of days of work and take of to Kuala Lumpur for my sister's wedding in December with the kiddos. Wedding aside, we needed to do something fun with the kids during the school holidays, and I haven't been out that way for quite some time due to our work commitments.

How wonderful if we can go somewhere far, far away and stay in luxury hotels like the ones in Las Vegas? Let's get real here, I know I can never afford that luxury, so dream on Life Ramblings!
