Mid-Autumn 2019


There were many years when we wanted to get the ice-cream mooncakes which the kids fancied but they were all sold out. So this year, I decided to buy them in advance especially since there was a Super Early Bird discount. These cute mooncakes stayed in my freezer for a month before I busted them out for our annual mid-autumn festival celebrations. The children totally loved them! It was great that each kid had a flavour which he/she enjoyed from the set: kid #1-vanilla, kid #2-berry, kid #3-mango and Joram-chocolate. It also just happened that they liked the respective cartoons that they came in. 



Despite feeling under the weather, I took the kids out to Jurong Lake Garden's Forest Ramble where we previously failed to get the chance to play at due to, on the first occasion, immense crowd, and on the second occasion, the premise being closed for maintenance. The weather was extremely hot and humid but thanks to that, we had the whole place to ourselves most of the time. I hid under the shade with a handheld fan as much as I could but ultimately the heat got to me and we had to leave before we could finish exploring the place. 

We headed back to Jurong East and I started running a fever. I had no choice but to leave the second half of the program for Joshua to continue as he rushed down from work and I took a cab home to rest. He managed to help me settle dinner and brought the kids on the lantern walk home, complete with the playing of sparklers at our void deck. Thank God that Joshua and I make such a great tag-team!
