Writer’s Workshop: You Can Just Imagine It

A 3 day weekend is something which we just experienced last week. Saturday was Vesak Day and in lieu of a holiday falling on a Saturday schools  were given the Monday off. The kids were ecstatic to have a day off school and time off to play.

We brought them to the Singapore science centre and to play bowling.  Monkey boy is doing much better in bowling now.

Just look at his score below.

If cash wasn’t an issue  I would have like to have spend that 3 day weekend a bit differently. We would have checked into a 6 star hotel at Sentosa.  A suite would be good. The presidential suite  or a private villa would be certainly ideal. Private swimming pool, butler and maid service couple with baby sitting would be superb!!. The kids can enjoy themselves swimming while being supervised while I can indulge myself in some spa treatment.

If the room came with gaming consoles or other kids games it would be great. The kids could entertain themselves  and give me some “time off” which I need.

We would have VIP passes to the universal studios so that we could get in easily and by pass all the queuing that we need to do before trying out the rides. Dinner at the beach or at  getting the top chef from one of the fine dinning restaurants to cook for us in the suite kitchen would certainly make my day. I do love dining out but dining in comfort and without  having to worry about the kids running off or making messes during dinner is more of a concern to me. I’ll be able to get both- good food and a worry free dinner.

How would your ideal 3 day weekend be like?

Do you think you will be having it soon?

Writer’s Workshop: X-tra Special for Mother’s Day

mother

Mother’s Day is in 10 days time. This year I doubt there will be anything special happening this year as R and I are not really into celebrating Mother’s Day. The kids are also too young to be able to plan anything special for me.

My perfect Mother’s Day would be one where all the following is able to come true.

1. Being able to sleep in and have a minimum of 6 hrs uninterrupted sleep from the night before.

2. Not being rushed to finish chores or to do tasks.

3. Having my own time to eat and finish it instead of “sharing” my food with the kids.

4. Receiving flowers.

5. Having the chance to go shopping and buy clothes for myself and not being rushed by the kids.

It would be bliss if all these come true.

What would your perfect Mother’s Day be like?

Do you see it happening this year?
