FRIENDS COME FOR A REASON, A SEASON OR A LIFETIME
I received the following message from one of my friends, who told me that people come into our life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When we know which one is it, we will know what to do for that person:
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were a reason, a season or a lifetime.

One day Desaru trip
We went for our one-day Desaru trip with Five Stars Travel last Saturday, June 16. Woke up at 4.30am, we set off from our home at 5.30am and arrived Five Stars office at Golden Mile Complex at 6am. It was crowded and I overheard there were 8 coaches left for Desaru that day from Five Stars.
Although the coach was to set off at 6.30am, it did not arrive until 7.15am. We were bit impatience already. We set off at almost 7.30am. When we arrived our 1st destination in Malaysia (Huang Huo) for breakfast, it was closed to 9.30am.
The coach traveled all the way to Pengaran (Si Wan Dao) for seafood lunch. Maybe it was too crowded that day, we did not really enjoyed our seafood lunch.
After lunch, we proceed to Ostrich farm. On the way, it started to rain. This was the 2nd time I visited this Ostrich farm. The farm was very crowded and the boss could not really explain and demonstrate to us how to break an Ostrich eggs.
The rain continued non-stop. When we reached the Fruit Farm in Desaru, we could only sat in the coach and it drove one round in the plantation. This was the first time I saw Dragon Fruits plant, which is originated from Vietnam. There were also other fruits plants like Green Oranges, Mango trees, Jackfruits trees, ‘Ba long long’ etc etc. Of course at the shop, we could see everyone, including myself bought some of the fruits back home. The Jambu fruit was very sweet and juicy. I love it.
The main highlight of the event for this tour was to see Firefly. Although it was still raining, we could still travel out on the motorboat with our umbrella on. Hahaha, a very good experience. Finally we saw many Fireflies around the bushes. I could say at least the trip was not wasted.
We concluded our one day tour and back to Singapore around 11.30pm.

School Holidays
It has been quite sometimes since I last updated my blog.
It's school holidays FINALLY........ where I can sleep till 7.30am. During children school term, everyday I have to wake up at 5.50am. Wow, it's good to be able to wake up later to re-charge the battery (body).
This June holiday we do not have any travel plan. For the first 2 weeks of school holiday, both the children were still attending classes, CCA or other school activities. Holidays actually only started this week. But this Saturday, we will be going to Desaru for one day trip........ visiting Ostrich farm, Fruit farm, have seafood meals, and most importantly I hope we will be able to see the fireflies AND have a good times with our friends going along :)
Will share more after our trip.

Picnic at Sentosa
Yesterday afternoon we (me and the two kids), our two friends and their children had a funfilled picnic at Sentosa.
We drove into Sentosa at about 3pm, sat around the Siloso beach and chitchat. The weather was perfect for an outing. The children were having fun at the beach and enjoyed the skyride + Luge play. However, the waiting time for the Luge was absolutely long.
In the evening, we watched 'Songs of the Sea'. The new water jets and lasers at Siloso beach. I liked the background of 'Kelong' structure. The effect that waters came out from the Kelong was very beautiful. The sudden bursts of fire and flames also created dramatic effect for the show. However, I do not quite like the story line. Found it very simple and not convincing enough.
