It has been a crazy month of October. The boys are into exam fever. PSLE is just over for Monkey boy and SA2 has just started for Doggie boy.
Focusing on brain food is one of my priorities this month as their brains go into overdrive digesting all the information that had been taught the entire year.
Laksa
I’ve been introducing more local foods to the kids as I feel they need to get acquainted with the local cuisines. Laksa is one of my personal favourite. I love the rich coconut based soup.
Mee Siam
Mee Siam is a Malay dish which I like to eat. It has a slightly sourish taste to the gravy and it is nice dish to have for a quick lunch.
Strawberry Milkshake
I love milkshakes and strawberry milkshake is one of my favourite. i love the smooth taste of milkshakes and occasionally have one as it is rather heavy calorie laden.
Another month has whizzed past and now we are into the last quarter of 2016. September was another birthday month for us as Tiger girl celebrated her 6th birthday with a bash at an indoor playground. It was the first time that she was given an opportunity to celebrate her birthday with her friends and classmates and she was really excited to have her wish come true. There was a party planner and they had party games, snacks and free play at the indoor playscape after the party.
Tiger girl and me
My little girl will be entering primary school soon and start a whole new chapter of her life. September not only marks a change in age but a change in appearance for her as she recently got her ears pierced. I had been asking her for a few years if she was interested in getting her ears pierced but it was only now that she feels that she is ready for it.
It was a rather painless experience for her and it took only 5 minutes to get both sides pierced. Waiting until she was ready for the procedure did help as she was mentally prepared and not frighten about it.
Monkey Boy and me
As we enter the 4th term of school the kids are all busy preparing for the final exams. Monkey boy is doing his PSLE this year and had been busy studying for this final leg. Tomorrow will be his final paper – Higher Chinese then he is done with all the exams that he will have to take during his primary school years. He will be taking a break from studies and spending more time perusing his hobbies from next week onwards.
Monkey boy will be having more time to practice his piano and follow up on research projects that he had to shelf due to the PSLE exams. I’m sure he can’t wait to get started!!

September was also a month that I started a new nutritional cleansing routine. To increase the impact of the program I have been stepping up my exercise regime and including various activities which will certainly aid in helping to my ideal shape and weight.
