I used to enjoy what I did, until there came a point where I was constantly asking myself if that was what I would be doing for the rest of my life. My answer was <i>No</i>.<br />
If I didn't need the money, would I still be working there? <i>No</i>.<br />
In ten years, do I see myself still working there? <i>No</i>.<br />
<br />
I decided to resign. With no plans.<br />
I was scared, terrified. But I knew I had to do it for goodness' sake. LOL<br />
I needed to take a break to find my feet again, to find my directions.<br />

Sad to leave my colleagues behind but there, I am finally free!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
There were many things I always wanted to try but couldn't find the time when I was working full-time. <br />
One of them is YOGA.<br />
Even though I held an 8-to-5 job in KKH, evenings were a mad rush for me to rush home, make sure my kids have dinner, playground time, shower, finish up any pending homework which they need help in, prepare for the next day's school / CCA/ tuition if any etc etc, it was like learning how to fly a plane in 2 hours.<br />
My day-to-day life was so mad hectic/ mundane/stressful/rushed and I absolutely RESENTED it.<br />
<br />
<br />
SO NOW, I can finally start on learning something new - learning Yoga at <a href="http://www.yogaseeds.com.sg/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">YOGA SEEDS</a>.<br />

Our instructor for today's Hatha class, Melody, was very friendly and helpful in teaching us how to adjust our postures.<br />
She also gave alternative poses if we could not achieve what the advanced yogis could.<br />
It made newbies like hubby & me felt at ease and not at a loss of what to do like when I did Zumba for the first time - my hands-feet-eye-coordination was all over the place!<br />
<br />
If you're unsure where / how to start with your Yoga journey, Yoga Seeds has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere for newcomers.<br />
I highly recommend you to check out Yoga Seeds on their <a href="http://www.yogaseeds.com.sg/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">website</span></a>!<br />
<a href="https://yogaseeds.punchpass.com/classes" target="_blank">Class schedules can be found here</a>.<br />
<br />
We will be back for more lessons for sure!<br />
Thank you Melody, Wendy and Vic from Yoga Seeds for this wonderful opportunity :)<br />

Made my highly-missed Hong Kong Australian Dairy Company's double skin milk today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's surprisingly easy peasy child's play!<br /><br />To make for a family of 4, I used:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- 800ml full cream milk (200ml each bowl's capacity)<br />- 4 egg whites<br />- 4 teaspoons sugar<br /><br />Boil the milk over low heat and stir occasionally. Turn off fire when bubbles start forming at the sides of the pot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, whisk the egg whites and sugar until it forms a bubbling foamy texture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sift this egg white mixture into the pot of warm milk.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Pour into bowls and remove any air bubbles on top.</div>

Before Covid-19, I used to think that I didn't need to bother learning cooking or baking as in Singapore, whatever you want to buy or eat is readily available and easily store-bought.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now it's a real wake-up call for us to start thinking about going back to basics (kampong days if you may) and start investing in self-grown/ self-raised/ self-taught/ self-made, and being more self-sufficient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

It is extremely rewarding to have food harvested from garden to table.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We spend a lot on quality feed for our pets and thus we know what goes into the food we eat from the garden.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you guys enjoy making this delicious tea-time snack at home!</div>

When it comes to CNY shopping this year, I just want everything to be fast and easy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't be in a busier time in my life right now - Adam just started P5 (his last year before PSLE), and Ashton has started P2 (bye bye honeymoon year).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come February, my days will be spent sending and fetching them around their school/ enrichment/ tuition.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
When <a href="http://bakkwadelivery.sg/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Bakkwadelivery.sg</b></span></a> contacted me to collaborate, I jumped for joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was gonna have 1kg of charcoal-roasted goodness delivered right to my doorstep!</div>

"At Bak Kwa Delivery, we are highly invested in the quality of our Bak Kwa. Unlike other Bak Kwa shops who have given up the traditional methods of roasting Bak Kwa in favour of newer methods, we are still roasting Bak Kwa the same way it has been done since the 20th Century.</div>

To order, simply click on <b>SHOP</b>.<br />
Currently, as of 14/01/2020, the Spicy Bak Kwa option is out-of-stock, they are only left with their classic Traditional pork slices, going for $55.90 per KG (that's about 12 huge slices with each slice bigger than a piece of Gardenia bread).<br />
<br />
There is a flat rate delivery fee of $12.90, regardless of your amount of order.<br />
I feel the delivery fee is a wee bit pricey, but it beats having to pay for parking and queuing for hours even before opening hours to get your hands on another competitor brand.<br />
<br />
Their website also claimed that speedy delivery can be done in 2 hours, depending on availability. </div>

Shortly after we came back from Bangkok and Khao Yai (I haven't got the time to even upload those photos yet), I packed furiously and scurried around to buy all the winter stuff for the kids and myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Off to Beijing we go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This trip is the first ever we are doing with another family - Our good friends the Ho family and their boys Ryan (12) and Kenneth (8).<br />
Good thing is Karen planned and helped us book everything so all we had to do was pay up, pack up and show up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PART ONE - Checking in, visiting Temple of Heaven and Forbidden City.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b></b><u></u><u></u><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Checked in to Le Zai boutique hotel at Nan Luo Gu Xiang.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The service is very good. Surprisingly in Beijing I find their citizens very friendly and helpful.<br />
They try their best to accommodate whatever requests you may have.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Paying respects and prayer rituals to ancestors have long been viewed as an important part of Chinese culture as it is believed that when you go to pray to Gods at a temple, it is alike a hospital with doctors treating many different types of sick people.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;">

<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">However, ancestors are your direct family line connected by blood so it is believed that in times of need, your Ancestors will render you help & protection, the same way a family will love & protect their own offspring first instead of other families.</span></div>

The moment came for prize presentation. When the judges announced “Adam, 3rd. Where’s Adam?” I gasped and looked at Adam and cheered him to go up to collect his medal with his team.</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
I can tell he was very happy though he tried not to show it.</div>

Ashton on the other hand, did not win anything.</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
However, he said he enjoyed himself very much with his team mates and he went on to eat his nuggets and fries happily. </div>

Andy & I were very happy and proud of our boys for their performance and sportsmanship. </div>

They were up against 30 odd kids and we really weren’t banking on winning anything. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
Of all the extra-curriculum enrichments I have signed Adam up for - Swimming, coding, Scratch programming, Lego robotics - he enjoys Golf the most. Ashton... not so. </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;">Since a few people have asked me about junior golfing for their children, I thought I would share </span><span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody";"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>what I feel about kids learning Golf</b></span></span><span style="font-family: "uictfonttextstylebody"; font-size: 17px;"> from my humble past year shuttling my kids to and from Seletar Country Club.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>1</b></span><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - 6 yo is the best year to start your child on Golf.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
Some kids join as early as 5, but I think at 5 they need to learn water safety and phonics and stuff like that first. I’d say 6 is a good age because by then, their body mechanics & coordination would be better formed. They would also be reasonably tall enough to use golf clubs without the need to change another set after half a year (depending on their growth spurts). </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
Mind you, Golf equipment don’t come cheap and it’s advisable to try them at the physical shops rather than buy online. </div>
<div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
6 year old is also a magical year whereby it’s their last year as a pre-schooler and you still don’t have Pri school homework & logistics to worry about.</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">2</span></b><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - From basics to obtaining Proficiency cert (PC), it takes about 1-1.5yrs depending on your child’s progress and interest to perform; and another year or so before they can get their Handicap. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
Therefore, really, from January of the year your child turns 6 is a good time to start so that by the time they enter Pri 1, they would have or going to get their PC. If for whatever reasons you decide to halt golf, at least they get their PC first. That’s like a basic to obtain so as not to let your whole year’s effort of sending them go to nought. </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">3</span></b><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - Golf teaches them discipline, and how to reflect on self improvement every game they play. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">4</span></b><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - Golf is a non-contact sport. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
For Ashton who has had spine surgery before, I would be worried to put him through high-impact sports like Soccer or Basketball. Golf is a good way for him to get outdoors and play with others without having body contact.</div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">5</span></b><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - Golf is a skill that can be useful way into adulthood. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
Many friendships are forged and business deals are made on the Golf course. There are also opportunities to become a golf coach in future if teaching is your child’s interest. </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>6</b></span><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - For academically average children like my own, learning an additional skill can be useful for them in future. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
My kids are quite average I would say. Adam isn’t a straight As student, and both of them surely aren’t the over-achievers Type A personality people. Andy is always careful that I don’t over-burden them with my expectations and let them have time to be kids. Therefore, that is the reason I let them pick up golf as I feel it could be useful for them to build their EQ and inter-personal relationship skills. They will have to team up with kids from all walks of life, different skill levels, and receive & carry out instructions without babysitting from parents. </div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">7</span></b><span style="font-size: 17px;"> - Having a hobby can be a form of letting loose for the kids on weekends. It is a healthy sport and an avenue for them to unwind after a week of school work and studies. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; text-align: center;">

Ashton turned SIX yesterday, holy macaroni! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Where did all the time go?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have a family tradition - we go to Swenson's for Fire House on our birthdays so yesterday <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: transparent; color: black; display: inline !important; float: none; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;">we went</span> (24/08/18) and today we threw him a home party instead.<br />A small-scale, intimate party with family and his closest friends.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ashton requested for a Minion's theme so everyone in the family was colour-coordinated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone except the husband, that was, because he refused to dress up like Mr Gru (full black with a stripy neck scarf). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Children, I hope that you guys will choose easier themes for your Mom to coordinate next year.<br />

Adam had his good friends, Alden and Rayden, over on Sunday for his belated 9th birthday party and also because exams were over and the boys wanted to unwind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When your bestie's kids are also your kids' besties, you can expect nothing short of a mayhem every time our families get together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That was kinda what happened last night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything was going fine, the kids had cake, they played Nerf waterguns in the pool, champagne was free-flowing for the adults, and the kids were having fun playing Catching when suddenly Rayden came running over to look for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I marched into my bedroom and saw blood everywhere on Ashton's entire left cheek. He had a laceration just slightly above his eye and the blood flowed as freely as our champagne.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thankfully I had copious amounts of alcohol to help me deal with the ordeal calmly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply scooped Ashton up, pressed a ball of tissue to his gaping wound and instructed Andy to drive us to Mt Alvernia as it was nearest to our home minus the long wait as compared to KKH.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After a consultation with the A&E doctor, it was decided that Ashton needed a plastic surgeon to stitch him up.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Another hour or so was spent waiting for the plastic surgeon and anaesthetist to arrive as it was already midnight.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ashton was a champ, he didn't cry at all! He was just super brave about the whole thing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">I changed into scrubs and accompanied Ashton into the OT and when Ashton was comfortably sedated, I rushed home to pack some overnight stuff before rushing back again.</span></div>

It's been quite awhile since I did.</div>

But not from my husband obviously. Cos when I told him I received flowers, he asked if they are from my admirer #rollmyeyes.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hi, my name is Veron and I am not a tech-savvy person, period. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still prefer to receive hardcopy bills and bank statements, and for the same reason, I never, ever pay my bills online.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once, my Hubby chided me for being kayu, but he stopped after he accidentally paid the same bill TWICE because the screen hung and he clicked "Pay" again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This further convinced me that technology can be evil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first heard about POSB's Smart Buddy watch on Kiss 92 FM while driving to work, and as expected, I had mixed reactions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, for P1 and P2 Math, there are money components which require students to count, subtract and add money.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To prep Adam for recess, I spent a considerable amount of time letting him handle physical money and let him buy food at the foodcourts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure how cashless is going to help the children in this Math topic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I was caught by surprise when I found out how advanced China is in terms of Cashless payments.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did you know you can pay for anything in China simply by scanning the QR code and paying through <b>Wechat</b> or <b>Alipay</b>? </div>

Smart Buddy is the world's first in-school savings & payments device wearable on your child's wrist.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Currently, there are 24 schools participating in this Smart Buddy program and you can find the <span style="font-size: large;">list of schools <a href="https://www.posb.com.sg/personal/deposits/bank-with-ease/posb-smart-buddy?pid=sg-posb-vanity-deposits-smartbuddy" target="_blank">HERE</a></span>, or if your child's school isn't one of the participating schools, you may <span style="font-size: large;">REQUEST <span style="font-size: small;">for his/her school to</span> participate via <a href="https://www.posb.com.sg/personal/deposits/bank-with-ease/posb-smart-buddy?pid=sg-posb-vanity-deposits-smartbuddy" target="_blank">HERE</a></span> (because that's the only way you can get this watch, you can't buy it from POSB branches).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Smart Buddy watch is linked to an App on your mobile device, and you can track his or her expenditure, set the allowance limit, and see what he or she has bought during the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes, kids tend to overspend on stationery.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Adam's school is currently <b><u>not</u></b> one of the participating schools for Smart Buddy program but here are some feedback from students/ parents whose kids are:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- No more worrying about forgetting to put money into kids' wallets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Don't have to worry if child loses his or her wallet in school/ bus.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Do not have to worry about extortion of money from bullies.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- If your child suddenly needs to purchase eg. a file/ exercise book and you didn't give him/ her extra pocket money, he/she can purchase using the Smart Buddy watch (if the expenditure exceeds the daily allowance limit, he/she can call the parent to increase the limit)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So yeap, if you wish your child can use this smart watch, you may <a href="https://www.posb.com.sg/personal/deposits/bank-with-ease/posb-smart-buddy?pid=sg-posb-vanity-deposits-smartbuddy" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">request</span></a> for his/her school to participate in this program, it won't replace cash, it is merely an alternative payment method for the kids! And psst, I heard there are separate (ie. faster) queues in the canteens if you choose to tap & pay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
*Thank you POSB for the opportunity to attend your media briefing, you guys are fabulous!<br />
You've absolutely changed my mind about going cashless, so much so that I'm tempted to use the watch for myself, linked to my hubby's bank account of course :P<br />

Few things make my day as much as spending time over a hearty meal with family and loved ones.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks to fellow mummy-blogger <a href="http://ngjuann.com/" target="_blank">Ju Ann</a>, Andy & I got the chance to be invited to a new eatery in town.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When you think of Club Street, mental images of bars and alcohol come to mind, but right smack in the middle of it sits a newly opened Thai restaurant called Sa Yum. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sa Yum is located near the public car park, in fact it is not difficult to locate it if you just walk up-slope from the car park. </div>

Why, hello, Blogpsphere! It's been some time since I last posted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been so busy with Adam's primary school shenanigans and also with our parrots. The only times I come in here is to search for past posts of our kids/ memories.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can catch more of us on my Instagram account, <i><b>@mumzillaveron.</b></i></div>

Anyway, here's one post about our recent weekend Phuket trip. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Vacationing with your children on a weekend is doable! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You don't need annual leave or a lot of $$ to have some family fun.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We're booked to go to Korea in December, but due to some spontaeneous decision, we ended up going to Phuket with my in-laws first. We've visited <a href="http://www.mumzilla.sg/search?q=phuket" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;"><i>Phuket with the kids last year (2015)</i></span></a> and stayed at Clubmed, and this time we gave Holiday Inn a try.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To my pleasant surprise, Holiday Inn far exceeded my expectations in terms of being kid-friendly, family-centred and clean. My in-laws also enjoyed their stay. Thumbs up! :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Been busy with Adam's school and also with raising our parrots.<br />
<br />

I hardly venture out of my comfort zone, which is the eastern part of Singapore.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To me, anything further than Tanah Merah is considered inconvenient.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't ever go to town anymore, unless absolutely necessary.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today is an exception because we got invited to visit the Alive Museum at Suntec City!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Adam decided to stay home with his birds because we have 2 chicks that require handfeeding at the moment.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How was your Sunday on the eve of Term 3 of school? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mine was nothing short of insane - I got eaten by Marilyn Monroe, got kissed by Spidey, and did some pretty insane stuff.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Let's see our imagination come ALIVE!</div>

Woke up uber early as we had to travel across the island to get to Jurong.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Luckily, both Adam and Ashton were not cranky even though I dragged them out of bed early.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><u>My thoughts about the operations of Kidzania Singapore:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The average waiting time for a job, depending on its popularity, can range from 30 - 60 minutes *<i>gasp</i>*.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Parents are <u>not</u> allowed to queue on behalf of their children so that's the MAJOR drawback.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wish they would allow ONE parent to queue on behalf while the child goes to attempt the short-queue job before returning to do the longer-waiting job.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This way, they can cover more jobs in the given span of time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Afterall, I think Kidzania's objective is to let kids experience the real world right? And not to torture them to wait in line for 60 minutes doing nothing??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To deal with this, Serene and I took turns with our boys to queue for different jobs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Eg, Adam was queuing at Maybank Vault while Xavier worked as a journalist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When Xavier was done, he went to Peranakan Museum to queue as a curator so by the time Adam was done at Vault, he joined Xavier at Museum and they were the next in turn.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other than the long waiting time, playing at Kidzania was an overall positive experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is no secret that children love to role play, and to incorporate this role-playing concept into the real world by letting these mini adults act out scenarios applicable to daily life is a genius idea.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Children get to explore different jobscopes and learn the responsibilities associated with each job, and they get to earn money (Kidzos) and even open "bank accounts" where they can make despoits of their salary, or withdraw Kidzos from the ATM to make purchases!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whoever came up with such an ingenius idea?!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
From this visit, I realized that Adam is quite a spendthrift like *<i>cough</i>* his mother.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He walked in circles around the theme park and didn't find any job that caught his fancy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He decided to spend his first $10 Kidzos note on a football match, and lost his last $10 note while waiting in line for KFC Chef.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a result, Xavier lent him $10 Kidzos which in turn he had to work as Vault cash officer to earn back and return to Xavier.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As he had no more cash after returning the Kidzos to Xavier, he was spurred to find jobs and this time, he took on all sorts of jobs as he found the salary very rewarding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Things to note:</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Have a heavy breakfast before heading there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Bring a water bottle, wear comfortable shoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Bring some finger food or snacks if you do not wish to spend so much on the food in Kidzania.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Invite some friends of your child along to ease the wait as they can take turns queuing since parents are not allowed to queue for them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- You may either be the typical Helicopter-parent and help plan your child's job list, or you can leave the entire experience entirely up to them and just relax at a cafe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Be prepared that there will be lots of indecisiveness on their part thus leading to lost time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
However, this experience will make them learn better planning and inculcate patience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Activation of ATM card can be done at the beginning of the visit, though it is not necessary. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If your kid is too excited to queue at the bank, you can activate the ATM card as the last step when you want to desposit the earnings before you head home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
