This week has been a rather busy week as the kids are back in school and I’m busy de-cluttering and getting the house ready for Chinese New Year which is at the end of January. This month will be a busy month as the new school year has just started and I have to get the kids settled into the new school/home schedule.  I too am stepping up a notch as I’ve enrolled with a few challenges this month- Ultimate Blog Challenge, P52 (Photo Challenge) and  UnButtoned ( De-cluttering) challenge.

I’ve been thinking a lot about sushi and have decided that we should have sushi again for our Chinese New Year Eve Reunion dinner instead of the traditional Chinese dishes. We had sushi for Christmas and the kids were happily gobbling it down.

How was your first week of January been?

Tiger girl and me hanging around waiting for the boys as they enjoy their ride on the Luge at Sentosa.

The boys on their favourite ride. They had four rides on the Luge each.

I’m waiting the day where Tiger girl is old enough to be “detached” from me so I can have a go on the Luge with the boys.
