"We might not have everything in the world but we have the most important thing - each other."

These are tough times but we are choosing to look on the bright side of things. In fact, the kids and I are somewhat happy to stay home for the next month because it means we get to be together as a family and spend more time with the newborn who is growing up really fast.

Yup, we always say time flies when we have kids. So maybe this is a good time to let it slow down so we can truly appreciate every day, every moment of being together.

At the very least, we have a roof over our heads, we can buy food or order delivery, we can still go to the supermarket, we will have much more opportunities to craft, cook, play, talk, laugh, relax or have more family movie nights.

Anyway, we weren't planning to go out much during the June holidays - in fact, we didn't make any plans at all - so this just seems like an extended mid year hols to us for now. While I initially worried a little for my P6 girl, I then reckoned this might be a good way to teach her to be more resilient and be able to adapt to changes too.

I'm also thankful for the fact that being a stay-at-home mum, it just means I continue doing what I do every day, that is to look after the kids. To those who are more affected by the news and need to make last minute arrangements at work, jia you, hang in there and let's all hope things will get better soon. To our frontliners, thank you so much for working so hard for us. The least we can do is to play our part and stay home.

Stay optimistic and hopeful, people. Have a happy Sunday! ❤

Since a very young age, I've faced lots and lots of challenges in the process of getting to where I am today. Originating from a small town, Mentakab, I was finding it immensely difficult to communicate in English given that my mother tongue is Tamil. Throughout schooling days, I mostly mingled with Malays and Indians, hence, I was not faced with a bright opportunity to better my English when it came to speaking. When I came here, communication obviously rose to be one of my major struggles.

Moreover, I grew up with the strong ambition to eventually become a successful model and actress. I had this dream in me ever since I was an innocent 12 years old. I was so passionate to extent that my cupboard door would be filled with posters of Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen and other actresses that never failed to amaze me and kept the dream in me alive.

When I came here to pursue my studies, I hit a bumpy road after following the wrong path, having mingled with the wrong kind of company. Moreover, when it came to my aim of being a successful model, I had no family support whatsoever. Therefore, I used to really struggle with the little pocket money that they'd give me. I used to travel daily from Cyberjaya to KL with whatever money I had at hand just to attend auditions with the hopes of making it in this industry. I used to take buses and trains to attend the loads of beauty peagents, TBC shoots and photoshoots without the knowledge of my parents because they were never willing to give me their approval. I used to quickly shut off the television in fear on multiple occasions when they would show segments of where I joined dance competitions, beauty peagents and telecasts.

My parents never believed I could make living out of this. They strongly believed that only by studying can one succeed. They disliked the plain idea of it. This eventually came to a point where it extinguished the passion I had within me. Hence, after completing my studies, I took up a job that they would approve of. However, once I begin making my own money, I was determined to chase after my dreams. I picked up from where I left off with my peagents, photoshoots and so much more. The financial independence allowed me to chase after what I believed was meant to be mine but unfortunately, I still did not own my family's support when it came to my choice of career. I had no choice but to keep everything a secret.

It reached a point where I had to even hide when I had gained a little success in the field of my dreams. They never realized anything until I became the talk of the town after winning a beauty peagent. After enquiring about why I never disclosed anything to them, I simply answered cause I knew they'd never give me the support I needed. My teenage life was difficult. I had so much passion but close to no support. However, I still pulled through it all.

Soon I became a host to a TV programme and that was when I knew that no other girl should ever be in my position. No other girl should ever feel alone in the journey of achieving her dreams. I wanted to be the source that builds girls who were like me. I wanted to grant them the platform they deserved. I wanted them to be given the path which was right and only filled with the intention of contributing to their future success.

I invested in a lot of time and effort to open up my very own modelling agency which doesn't rip off money from the hands of innocent girl, however, genuinely helps them grow. I only placed a price over the compcard shoots I would hold but when it came to the job opportunities, it was all theirs. Their effort, their strive, hence, their income only. This was my effort to give girls like me a source of hope.

Eventually, after gaining the experience I needed, I let go of my full-time job and opened a company of my own called Black and White Media. Following that, I even pursued my passion of becoming a make-up artist as I have eventually grew a strong liking towards the career.

Fast forward into the future, I have gained the approval of ALL, whether it is my parents or relatives, I have everyone around me. Those who refused to talk to me, are proud of me now. Those who saw my dreams as something wrong and taboo, seem astounded by my achievements. I feel accomplished because I have proven on my side that my determination, strive and passion was not simply wasted. I made it happen for myself and I'm really putting in my side of work to make it happen for the other girls who remind me of myself.

My vision is to keep giving the support and push these innocent girls need to make it big. It has come to a point where their success feels like mine eventhough I make absolute nothing out of it. I also have this fierce need to give back to the society that has brought me up by inspiring them on the daily. Eventhough, I lost my account last year, I realize that I got me and I can make it happen till I have myself. After all, there are just some things no one can steal from you.

So, for all the women out there, be fierce, be strong, be gentle, just be YOU. Learn what you're capable of, you'll end up amazing yourself. Never fear society if you feel that something is meant for you. Prove it to them with what you deem as your success.

Twinning with the big girl while she still loves to be matchy matchy with Mama. ❤ It's gonna be a special CNY for her because this is the first 牛 year for this baby born in the year of the Ox. 🐂

Yup, time flies and this girl is growing up so fast. Having a tween daughter is like having a BFF and besides sharing secrets, another awesome thing is that we also get to share apparel 👚, shoes 👢, bags 👜 and even jewellery 💍. I have been passing my cardigans and blouses to this 11yo who can soon fit into my heels and she is most thrilled that she can doll up for special occasions and put on my accessories too.

She loves the newly launched CNY festive limited-edition collection from @danielwellington, especially the Emalie Necklace, and I am more than happy to let her wear it when we go visiting this new year. I am wearing the Petite Suffolk leather watch which I foresee I will pass to her some day soon too. Haha.

You can gift these to your loved ones and enjoy 10% off when you buy any two or more items from the collection before 14 Feb. Check out the full collection (also includes the Emalie Earrings, Cherry Blush Classic Ring and Bracelet) and use my code "AHappyMum" for extra 15% off at www.danielwellington.com or any of their official retail stores in Singapore.

P.S. Love these photos we took when the siblings were napping. She hid my tummy well in the first shot, swipe to see how big it really is now that I am nearly 33 weeks. Yup, just a while more and we are gonna welcome another Ox baby into our family. We are all feeling very excited! 😁

【Pixar動畫】
「?動畫電影結局總是美好，然而社會並非那般簡單，認清後或會失望。
Cause stories won’t last once you wake from your dreams.??‍♀️」
家傳戶曉的故事，一幕幕觸動人心的畫面，配上一針見血的歌詞。
17歲創作歌手 #Livingston 首張單曲《#Fairytale》Pixar電影版MV。
#Pixar #有無人數到MV入面有幾多套動畫

On the track, the 17-year-old pop singer shouts out Pixar films like A Bug's Life, WALL-E, The Incredibles and Toy Story, while grappling with harsh realities of growing up. "At age of nine, I lived through Pixar on a screen/ And every single problem seemed so little then to me/ 'Cause Flik still saved the anthill even though I couldn't see beyond/ The kids at school that hated me and my insecurity/ Oh I thought I was invincible/ But Mr. Incredible could only take so much," he croons on the melancholy single.

“'Fairytale" is about the moment where someone you look up to lets you down," Livingston, who hails from Denton, Texas, tells Billboard. "Putting this idea in the form of Pixar superheroes felt like the right way for me to tell my story. Everyone knows these stories and their moral lessons, so drawing from them gave me a really easy starting point to express my warning about putting all of your faith in someone who is just as human as you are.”

“We knew there was something special about Livingston from the moment we met him," add Elektra Music Group co-presidents Mike Easterlin and Gregg Nadel. "At seventeen years old, it’s already evident he is a true artist -- from writing and recording to mixing and producing all on his own, we know it’s just the beginning for Livingston. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome him to the Elektra family.”

"Fairytale," the Texas-born teen's debut major label release, is below.

Lyrics:
At age of nine I lived through Pixar on a screen
And every single problem seemed so little then to me
Cause Flik still saved the anthill even though I couldn’t see beyond
The kids at school that hated me and my insecurity

Oh I thought I was invincible
But Mr. Incredible can only take so much and
I made my heart invisible
Cause I thought that WALL-E could still find love with an empty soul

So keep me awake
Just look in my eyes
I’m trying to let go

I try to forget
The fairytale lies
But it’s all that I’ve known

I was so scared to open up that door
Worried that the world outside wasn’t my home anymore
This isn’t Andy’s room, these aren’t the toys I used to know
What happened to the stories I was told

Then my mother asked me
Could you find confidence
Beyond Lightning McQueen
Cause stories won’t last once you wake from your dreams
I looked her in the eyes and asked her what it all means
If my heroes can only go so far

Oh I thought I was invincible
But Mr. Incredible can only take so much and
I made my heart invisible
Cause I thought that WALL-E could still find love with an empty soul

So keep me awake
Just look in my eyes
I’m trying to let go

I try to forget
The fairytale lies
But it’s all that I’ve known

Then my mother asked me
Could you find confidence
Beyond Lightning McQueen
Cause stories won’t last once you wake from your dreams
I looked her in the eyes and asked her what it all means
If my heroes can only go so far

Many have questioned why we sent  our kids to school at such an early age. Many have also been wondering what type of activities they do at school. Well, Ali joined school at the age of 2. He was the earliest amongst our three children to start school. It was different back when we had our first son, Omar Mukhtar. We proudly educated him from home until he was aged 5, when it was compulsory for him to join school.

We were planning to do the same with Fatimah too, but she had been requesting us to send her to school ever since she turned 2. She adores her Lalajee so much that listening to his school stories made her want to join even more! Because of her enthusiasm, we finally agreed to send her off to school when she turned 3. Then, that led to a new problem!

As you know, Fatimah and Ali are very close. They are like twins -  they can’t be separated! I can still remember that every day without fail, Ali would sit by the window, crying his heart out. He refused to eat or do anything until Fatimah came back! And when Fatimah stepped through the door, the first thing he said to her was “Fatimah, I’m hungry. I want to eat!” As if he was left alone and we were invisible to him! With a heavy heart, we had to let him go, even though he was only 2 at the time.

So for a year, they had so much fun going to the same school. And then again, this year, they got separated once again because Fatimah has now joined primary school! As you know, Ali was struggling with the separation, but we can see that he is slowly adapting to the changes!

FYI, I’ve recently started sharing Ali’s school diary on our FB story to give you an idea of what he does at school. My intention was to show that the activities that they do in school daily can be easily recreated at home! For example, baking, role playing, arts & crafts etc. We do activities with the kids a lot at home & I believe that many other parents are doing the same thing too!

So, don’t worry if your children are not ready for school yet because there are so many things you can do together at home, unless you have other commitments and you have no choice but to send them anyway. Do things that work for your family, not just because somebody else is doing it and you think that you have to do the same thing too! At the end of the day, we want to raise happy and healthy kids, not shaping them to be a genius robot! Believe me, if i had a choice, I would be more than happy to keep Ali at home for as long as I could, but just because he is happier to go to school like his brother and sister, I won’t be selfish and keep him away!

“Even though we send our kids to school, we always believe that education should start at home and we as parents must take full responsibility to educate our children!”

There is a tiny mistake in the video. "Despise their heaven, for you I'd go to hell." not "I'll go to hell"
It's our fault that we didn't catch it earlier. Our apology.

Full Lyrics:

Hey I live next door, just stop by and say hi. Bonjour. Oh hi, I like your dress, welcome to the neighborhood. My darling, here you are. Let me introduce, that’s Mrs. Su. Your sister is adorable. No she’s not my sister we are together.

A change in her face. Her eyes have gone red. As if the world comes to an end.
She grabs her necklace, mumbles some phrases. And shouts at me about her faith.

Their hearts are full of hatred. Without any forgiveness. No lights can be shed (be shed)

If it means I'm the demon, I’ll keep it to myself.
Despise their heaven, for you I’d go to hell
F.E.A.

We ran into her 9 year old. My mom said I shouldn’t come close or I will catch your flaws. She said not even god can save your souls. You two look nice though I want you to have my doll. Take care of her. Oh that’s my mom I should really go.

A change in her face. Her eyes have gone red. As if the world comes to an end.
She grabs her necklace, mumbles some phrases. And shouts at me about her faith.

Their hearts are full of hatred. Without any forgiveness. No lights can be shed (be shed)

If it means I'm the demon, I’ll keep it to myself.
Despise their heaven, for you I’d go to hell
F.E.A.
F.E.A.
F.E.A.
F.E.A.
