Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Honestly I find that in the hustle and bustle in our lives, we ought to just spend quality time and meals with our loved ones. Today, we went to a nearby place to munch at Ichiban Boshi. It's fun and we get to have some time with each other. Meals doesn't need to be that expensive. And we just need to remove our gadgets and phones and just have a simple meal together. Other things can just wait and you will realize that it's enjoyable to just eat and the food is delicious. It's the company that makes the food extra delicious!  Eve likes to buy this cod fish set, having the sauces separated as she prefer the original taste of the food. The sauces tend to make the food salty and masks the original taste of the food. Hence, next time if you want to order, maybe you can try this method. We really love the mint leaf at the salmon plate. So yummy and super fresh! I didn't manage to take a picture of the food plate that I ordered. It's s...

We really love visits to Botanic Gardens as they make us feel really calm and relaxed. And the best of all, there aren't much people there. And sad to say that Singaporeans seem to be the minority present at Botanic Gardens. We have passed by lots of tourists, Caucasians residing here and domestic helpers strolling the dogs. Simply don't feel like we are In Singapore at all. We went there during Gwen's third month birthday and we saw people planting this plant. These bird of paradise are really beautiful and the earthworms in Botanic Gardens are HUGE. Can't believe it.

We passed by a Heritage tree and I tell you, it's such a huge and special tree, and it even has a camera! How cool is that! Tembusu tree has such strong branches! Really sturdy. Ha. It's actually ...

Well, recently, our night times are quite hectic, having interrupted sleeps and changing bed sheets in the wee hours of the night, and bathing our children. Sounds like a ghost story? I'm afraid it's not. Night time These nights, Gwen simply stays awake and wants to nurse regularly. We need to adjust her timing from US timing to Singapore timing. In the day, she would nap more, while at night, the two big eyes will stare at you! Super awake and wants our attention. Last night was a champion night, and it's not easy for us. However we survived. Josh and Kate slept early around 10pm and 8pm respectively. However, Kate woke up at 10pm, rendered her to be super awake. And at 12am, Josh was awakened by Gwen and he wanted to pass urine. So the two elder ones were awake and kept on talking. At 1215am, all my three children passed motion, one after another!  The saga didn't end there. Josh and Kate started to get active and played. I have to be there to supe...
