The long weekend over our National Day ended yesterday, but I had to extend it another day. For the only strange reason that I could think of i.e. the bed was too soft and the pillow was too soft, I was totally unable to sleep last night and keep waking up throughout the night – every hour yet! Why was the bed and pillow so soft? Well, they were not mine. Our family spent the night at Resort World Sentosa’s Hotel Michael. Compliments of my dad’s frequent “flyer miles” to the casino over there. My parents, my brother, his crew and our gang were there. We did not go into Universal Studios and spent all our time outside it! Faarr-neeee!! Hahaha! The main objective was family time. This was the first time that all 3 families had “taken a trip” together. Let’s see… 1 grandfather, 1 grandmother, 3 mothers, 3 fathers, 4 sons, 2 daughters, 2 daughters-in-law, 1 daughter-to-be, 2 grandsons, 2 grand-daughters and 1 grand-daughter-to-be. What a big group!!… considering that there were only 6 of us adults and 4.5 of them kids. What a blast!
1. This weekend further confirms my belief that “grandchildren spoil faster than overnight potatoes at the grandparents’ place.” Heh heh! But thank God for grandparents! 
2. Thank God for the wonderful weather this past weekend! Beautiful!
3. The weekend of also a time to remind ourselves of how far our nation has come along through the years. It is indeed admirable and something to be grateful for. Thank God that He has continued to bless the nation and the leaders of the nation.
4. I managed to catch the traditional fly-by performed by our fly-boys! Woohoo!! Wanna be a pilot anyone?
5. Swimming time at the hotel… hotels! We swam from 1 hotel, walked over to another, and swam again! The kids sure had lots of fun! So did the grandfather! Haha!
6. I thank God for the sermon this past Sunday. Flee and not fight temptation, and replace and not resist such thoughts. The message was clear.
7. FAMILY TIME! 
8. This morning’s COFFEE! It is exactly what you need after a night of extended intermitten sleep.
