Today was the first day of PSLE.
I thought I did quite a good job by waking the big girl up, making her French Toast, braiding her hair and writing her a letter of encouragement - with her favourite Sumikko Gurashi design - to wish her all the best.
But this girl, she touches me in ways I never expect and brings joy through the little things she does. Not only does she make life happier for me, she is also my motivation to be a better, braver and stronger mum.
This afternoon, after enduring an over 4-hour wait in school due to a technical glitch during her oral exam and only having a bun and biscuit between 7am to 230pm, she came back home on her own, hungry but not whiny. I served her a big bowl of herbal chicken soup with mee sua which she ate heartily before taking a rest.
In the evening, she helped me to take care of the baby and after dinner, we watched a couple of hours of TV to relax, including AGT and Just for Laughs Gags, because I do think it's more important for her to feel happy than stressed at this point.
Before she went to bed, she wrote this sweet thank you letter for me which I totally didn't see coming and it totally melted my heart. Ironically, it's day 1 of her major exam yet she cheered and lifted me up more than what I did for her. Awwww. And I think I needed this.
Love you so much, my dear Angel. No matter what happens, you know I will always, always be proud of you. Thank you for being you.
All the best to those who are taking their PSLE too! ❤
P.S. She also dropped her molar, which is her 18th tooth, tonight too. Yup, only two more milk teeth to go and her last few visits from Tooth Fairy. This girl is growing up so fast and it's a bittersweet feeling but I am embracing every moment of seeing her mature into a fine young lady.

One of our hot topics is wrinkles during our girls' night out. I feel there is no harm in having wrinkles. A few facial lines can be endearing and add character to your face. But it’s no secret that many of us would prefer to keep them in check by preventing it.
Without medical or surgical intervention, it can be challenging to reverse the appearance of wrinkles once you have them. To date, I’m proud that I haven’t had any Botox, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t when it when I’m older, well let’s see 🧐
I want to share my eight lifestyle factors with you that have helped keep my skin looking healthy and youthful:
1. Moisturiser
A moisturiser acts like a drink of water for your face. Research shows that using a moisturiser containing peptides, hyaluronic acid, and hydrolysed collagen effectively prevents wrinkles from forming or getting deeper.
These days, I can’t live without EstherAction Fineline Cream and EstherAction PDNA Ampoule from @lalamallsg
Check out this potent medical skincare:
EstherAction Fineline Cream
🖤contains 7 peptide mixtures & Adenosine, which effectively strengthen barriers and reduce wrinkles. Peptides, are well known for their high efficacy in improving wrinkles, excellent moisturising effects, and improving & protecting damaged skin.
🖤Acetyl hexaPeptide-8, a BOTOX-like ingredient, has a wrinkle-reducing effect. Safer and easier wrinkle care than Botox injections!
🖤All-day moisturising booster with Hyaluronic Acid. Adds moisture and vitality to improve skin texture. FYI Hyaluronic Acid can contain water 300 to 1000 times its weight!
EstherAction PDNA Ampoule
🖤PDRN Ampoule is a high concentrated ampoule for anti-wrinkle and brightening effect.
🖤5,000 ppm of a high concentration French PDRN is derived from salmon's DNA, which is effectively helps to regenerate aged skin cells to youthful skin.
🖤The cell growth factor is reduced rapidly after the age of 25, the skin loses elasticity. PDRN Ampoule's Liposome Technology encloses active ingredients with a membrane, similar to intercellular lipid in the stratum corneum and effectively delivered to the skin to improve the elastic.

proud in french 在 Kyle Le Dot Net Youtube 的最佳貼文
I've always wanted to see the churches of Nam Dinh. In the past heading towards Ninh Binh on the road, the familiar towers and arches of massive gothic style French influenced churches would peak from beyond the horizon, sparking my curiosity. Later on, I saw many pictures of the online. So I knew that one day I had to go see them for myself. And it happened.
The Hanoi Bus Station has quite a few buses in Nam Dinh's direction. In fact, every 15 to 30 minutes or so. I recommend going to a ticket office and buying a ticket first, but be warned that these mini buses still might take their time leaving to pick up more passengers along the way. Remember that. And the buses can be quite hot too.
About 2 and a half hours later I made it to Nam Dinh, got into a cab and checked into my hotel. I rested for about an hour because I was completely exhausted from the early morning flight and the time on the bus. I tried to rent a car and driver with two rental places and they were all either busy or gave some outrageous number. So I contacted the same taxi guy that dropped me off. Then I realized that all of the churches were in the rural province of Nam Dinh and not in the city. This was a shocker because I was planning to see at least ten. In the back of my mind, I kept thinking that they were next to each other, similarly to how Ho Nai in Bien Hoa's mega churches are. I was more than wrong.
All the major churches are far apart from each other. You can ride a motorbike for sure, but it'll take you all day. I only had about 4 hours or so before sunset. So because I didn't know for sure where I was going and the driver wasn't an expert on the churches, we just opted to use the meter instead, which at the end of it was 1.8 million Dong. The first few churches weren't that far from each other, but they weren't on the main road. They are all tucked in little communities off of the side. The last one called Hai Ly or the Ruined Church as the locals call it was quite a ways away from all the other churches.
I was disappointed that I couldn't see more churches. I was also disappointed that pictures made them look more grand and beautiful. But that's photoshop for you. There was also the fact that many of the churches were given a new coat of paint. You see, that's the problem and the double edged sword. These are active churches that people use. So naturally, they have to restore them and improve them. And a new fresh coat of paint is a part of that. Though, I personally would just have left it alone. But that's not the local mindset.
So are the churches still worth checking out? Yes. Give yourself from morning to evening to properly explore them. Some of them are stunning. Their grand size made it impossible to film them completely. The people in the churches were so nice. From my experiences of traveling, church volunteers and visitors have always been nicer to me than temple people. Many of the church construction workers worked for free in the blazing sun. Some of them even invited me to drink some tea with them. They were proud to show off their work, and rightfully so. These churches were beautiful.
The night concluded with a meal of roasted and boiled ducks. The restaurant where I got the food from didn't have any tables left and it was just too loud and dark to make a proper video, so I bought the food back to my hotel restaurant instead. Despite being a draining day, I slept like a baby on the hard rock of a bed and enjoyed my time running around Nam Dinh a lot.
If you're in Ninh Binh. There is absolutely no reason to not stop by Nam Dinh for a day, especially if you believe in Jesus or if you can appreciate Gothic architecture. Nam Dinh is only 40 minutes or so from Ninh Binh after all.
