Exploring Our Children’s Potentials

First of all, I’d like to say THANK YOU to all of you who left birthday messages and wishes for me!

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

=)

Am thankful too for the fact that my husband and children are around, all healthy and well, and that I get to spend the day with them!

[We didn’t have much of a ‘celebration’, but we did go to quite a few places today]

Start of the Day

The kids and I made Ham and Egg Bread Tarts!

Our very first time, and we liked how yummy and yet simple they’re to make!

(Will share the recipe soon! =)

Waterfront Promenade @ Marina Bay

It’s Family Day Out today (National Family Celebration‘s closing event!), and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Flea Market!

Imagine getting SEVEN pieces of clothes I liked for just SIX DOLLARS!

I would happily call them my birthday presents!!

[Was too busy browsing the Flea Market that I completely forgot to take photos while we’re there, hehe]

*Scape, next to Cineleisure

We’re here to check out the Singapore Social Media Day event!

[With Janet and SK from SPH]

It was my first ever visit to *Scape AND I was AMAZED at the flea market stalls they had there (and the big turnout!). Should really check this place out over the weekend more often, I guess =)

Singapore Flyer

And this was where we ended our day-long journey!

LOVE the night view!

We received free tickets to the Flyer as part of the National Family Celebration’s Family Day Out. And it was like, EXTRA birthday presents for me! So grateful!

Here are more shots of the night!

Now.

As for ‘Any wishes or thoughts on your birthday’ question, well … I definitely feel that time keeps on ticking away. I’m thirty five this year and IF God allows me to live till 70yo, that means I’m ‘half way down the journey’.

The question is, have I done what I’m supposed to do IN my life and WITH my life? Have all these years been spent fruitfully, gratefully and wisely?

I’m reminded that I need to be more grateful, more patient in handling ‘daily challenges’, and more wise in bringing up my kids and dealing with their ‘wrongs’. I need to learn to constantly remember that I myself am still far from the standard God asks of me as well.

S, that’s my food for thought today.

Hope you had a wonderful weekend with your loved ones too!
