👋🏼Konichiwa! It’s been a really cold day and we’re tryna keep awake as we go about the daily itinerary 🤣 #keepingitreal
•
Visiting Hokkaido again in nearly 2X years, cos my last visit was with my #GanFamBam as a primary schooler. It’s still really cold cos it’s winter, with yday’s temp at -8deg. BRRR! ❄️ V and L loveeee the snow, but when the wind comes, 🤣
•
#throwback to Day 1 with us hitting 1 of the coldest areas in Sapporo. The red eye flight was anything but what I had hoped 😪 Let’s just say LV was so excited to watch vids & play games on the ✈️ and only caught a few winks, then woke up to food at 3+am, and no sleep till we landed a couple of hours later 🤦🏻‍♀️ After hopping up the coach, our first stop was the Salmon Park at 9am, but we had 2 cans of Hot Corn soup before that🤣 Hot and shiok for the cold, but too much corn in a sitting was rather jerlat🙈
•
Next, we took the cable car up and it was such a beautiful postcard-worthy sight which looked every bit like the storybooks😍 It was uber cold in the vicinity of Mt Showa & Mt Uzu. Sledging was possible yet really slippery so we didn’t try 😑 The wind was going strong too, so we had to head inside next to the fire warmer asap!
•
We stopped by Lake Toya for a picture and that liquid calmness was my mental refuge. Nothing like herding 2 sleep-deprived kids from place-to-coach-to-place 😖 So when our tour arrived at Hell Valley and L was zzz, moi stayed in the 🚌 while K and V braved the even colder weather as the sun was setting...
•
Ended the night at our onsen hotel (which I obviously had to forgo too). We had our Kaiseki dinner in our first yukatas, which ended with a BANG. Why? Our dear L ran into the sliding door and was gifted with a bleeding, swollen lip 🤦🏻‍♀️😥 Ok.. just gonna brace myself for the next few days.. #deewanderluster 🌈🎄WIN A POMSIES LUMIES 🎁🌈
• 
The Pomsies Lumies was out to put V and L’s hand-and-eye coordination to the test! 😜 The edu-fun factor scores for me! It's an interactive way to learn about colours through games, while putting their listening, focus, and reaction speed to play!
• 
I think it would beat flashing flashcards when teaching kids about colours 😉 With different games to "test" what they know and with the vibrant lights, parents can play this in the dark to create a different experience too. The funky music that our cute Pomsie Lumies plays offers exposure to dance music instead of the usual nursery rhymes and all. Time to get groovin' with your own in-house kid’s disco! 💃 🕺

•
If you’re looking to enhance that snooze at night, first, unlock those tension sandwiched in btwn your muscles & skin, and allow yourself to be lulled into a relaxing sense of being. I kid you not! My experience with @theoutcallspa was SO good, I immediately texted my mum and sis to ask if they’d like a session too - 👍🏼 Xmas 🎁 idea!
•
Time-pressed folks would love the idea of having a massage in the comfort of your 🏠 The thoughtful Massage Therapist brings along the foldable bed (YES!), the aromatherapy oils, ambient light + music, towels & piping hot ginger tea! EVERYTHING that’s needed & I didn’t even have to step out ✌🏼
•
Peripherals aside, the most important factor about a massage is definitely the Therapist. Yuki arrived on time, was quick to set up everything in my squeezy room, & introduced the oils for me to pick. After speaking with Yuki, I learned that she’s armed with 15 yrs of experience. I laid down and got ready for my session and by mid way, I could feel my mind drifting off.. something tt doesn’t always happen to me cos.. how does one fall asleep with someone touching you?!
•
I could feel that I was about to hit lala land, when suddenly, I felt some strange aches/tickles/pain along my spine where Yuki was pressing on. I gulped & yelped, laughing away to hide my embarrassment abt tt low threshold for pain 🙈 and asked her what in the world was that?! She explained that it might have been the epidurals or aches that I had but have since gone into hiding. She found pain points I never knew existed! 👍🏼🤣 Yuki went on to work her magic, and I understood what she meant by being intuitive to a customer’s body. She didn’t specify a massage technique she’d use but really left it to picking up “messages” from my body via the acupoints so she could knead knots & melt away tension. By the end of the session, I was pretty sad coz I wished she could do it for longer 😝

📌This contest ENDS ON 12 Dec, Thurs, 2359 and is opened to SG addresses only. Prizes to be self-collected / delivery by courier (borne by winners). GOOD LUCK!! 🍀 #THPPerks "Dear Vera and Leroy, mummy may not be the BEST mother, but I hope to mother you the best I can ❤️❤️

Mummy may turn into hulk sometimes, but that's because I love you.

Mummy may herd you around when we're heading out, but that's because I want us to be on time to soak in the activities planned for you.

Mummy may not always know the answers, but I'm learning it from you.

Mummy may not always be by your side, but that's because you'll have to learn to be on your own.

Mummy will be an old lady very soon, but you will be a wiser, learned grown-up too.

Whatever mummy may become, I will always do what I can to protect and support you in your growth and dreams. Because that's what mummy has been doing since the day you were conceived 💖
