Mid-year school holiday just ended. My kids & i had a 5D4N stayed in S'pore. We had a great & fun holiday there. But it was quite tiring for me to take care both my kids during the stay because my hubby din't follow.

My hubby miss my cooking so much during my holiday in S'pore. Hahaha :P The next day, i cooked dinner for my hubby & grandma although i'm still lazy & in holiday mood.
