January had really whizzed past. Doggie boy has been in school for about a month now.  He has slowly got used to being in Primary One.

Here are my top 10 highlights of last month.

3. The kids had lots of fun cycling at Pasir Ris Park. We haven’t gone cycling many times as the weather hasn’t been that good but on the Sunday morning the weather was perfect. There was a cool sea breeze the whole time we were there at the park.

4. I finally got around to baking bread. It is much more troublesome then baking cake but certainly worth the effort.

5. It was a blast from the past when I compared where I was 10 years ago with the present day. Some things have change while others have remained the same.

7. I talked about more about my family with 5 random facts about us.  I’m sure that some of the facts on the post you would have least expected to know if you didn’t read that post.

8. The kids had great fun in their horse and carriage ride. It was the first time that they were riding in a horse carriage. We saw this ride after coming out of the Tin Min Museum while on holidays in Kuantan.

9. We had one of the most delicious curry prawn in coconut while on vacations in Kuantan. If only they had such nice food here in Singapore.

10 Things I thought I would have done as a Child

Looking at my kids enjoying themselves made me think back to my childhood. There are many things that I would have like to have done as a child.

Here is a list of ten in no particular order.

  1. Travel abroad and visit many more different countries with my family as often as possible.
  2. Become a detective. I was really into Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes and really loved a good mystery.
  3. Learn how to fly a plane and a boat.  I always wanted to experience the thrill of being able to control such machinery but we couldn’t afford the expensive lessons.
  4. Become a concert  violinist like Vanessa Mae.  I played first and 2nd violin in the school’s string ensemble during my secondary school years.  It looks cool wearing a gown and playing the violin in front of an audience.
  5.  Become someone rich and famous. I still would like to be rich and have more disposable cash but will skip on the famous and being tracked everywhere you go part.
  6. An Actress. I loved seeing actresses on TV wearing pretty clothes and getting to meet with all these handsome dashing men.
  7. A singer. I loved singing and still love music but nowadays I gravitate more towards KPOP then Western music.
  8. someday married with children of my own to the guy of my dreams. This did come true 🙂
  9. A lawyer. I loved watching drama series of lawyers sparing in the court over cases.
  10. A CSI.  I love watching Crime investigation shows on TV and this job seems really interesting to me at that time.

What would you have done as a Child?
