After 5 months of the grind, she's finally back on the road!
Her second trip with her uni friends. They did a grad trip last year after the remaining 3 of their clique friends graduated last year.
That’s all she packed. 🤔 Why did she use this vacumn bag? It’s meant for winter trips.
Daddy exclaimed "why bring such a big luggage?" 😂
She needs to buy things for her sister, her sister gave her a shopping list.
I didn't give her my shopping list. But I hope she buys something for me 😂 coz I had to send her to the airport
There used to be a time where hugs and kisses were given so freely, especially when leaving for a trip. Haiyah! Now? *closes the door and walks away* no goodbye no 'thanks for the ride'
When she was away, it was one kid less to take care of. Haha! We had mookata, we had food che-che wouldn't have when she's here. Cleaned her room - the walls the ceiling, the table top etc.. Dettol-lized the cleaning. Then I miss her, I'm also worried, any parents would still be worried for their kids despite their age. Thank goodness we have Life 360 so I can watch her from home.

Before we know it, her 5 days trip came to an end. I made my way to pick her up from T4. Excited to hear her stories, that is if she's going to tell me.
They all came out together, the previous trip last year they didn't do that. I was so tempted to aim my phone camera at them lor.. heehee
Back home, the luggage inspector went to check what her sister bought for her while she was in the shower. So cute!
The ritual of unpacking everytime someone returns. That lively, beautiful noise of a family coming together to share in the excitement, listening to someone eagerly reveal what they bought. It’s not about material gifts; it’s about bridging the gap and hearing all about their adventures while they were away.
She bought this salted bread. Told me “this is nice, must try.” When I told her I bought it when I went Korea in 2024 with lil' one, she went "you got buy meh....?" Haiz!
Shared with daddy excitedly.
The unpacking in that same space we often unpack our luggages every trip coz we didn’t want to drag our luggage’s dirty wheels further into the house. But it means things are stacked on top of each other until we sort them all out and put them back into their respective places.
Says she didn’t buy lots of snacks but it does look alot. 🤣 oh well, it’s a holiday and we’re not frequent flyers going to the same place all the time (with the exception of our fav place in Japan 🤭). All into that snack box in bomb shelter that never seems to be emptied at any point of time.
She never forgets her nottie sister, always buying something for her.
Her gift for daddy 🤣. Coz daddy don’t really asks for souvenirs or anything so bought him his fav instant noodles. Feed the stomach. So practical!
We all know Korea is a haven for beauty products. Although we have a mini Kiehls at home we are also tempted. For me, I love getting sheet masks for lazy days when I want something simple - open and put on face. It’s good to rotate between different masks so that my skin don’t get used to one product.
Not forgetting too the different kinds of gadgets for face they have. I’m a sucker for all these but heng ah-nia is not loaded. And I don’t buy things on impulse so everytime I need to read and research whether my current gadget can also do the job.
I am surprised that Che-che bought some items for herself coz at home she’s always so lazy to use the Kiehls products, and knowing she has eczema I’m always wary about new products without proper research. Oh well! I just hope she’ll have no problem using these products.
The beauty products
Gift for her sister and herself. So cute! Does che-che knows I like Miffy too?
Che-che : 'Nah I buy this for you."
Me : (accepts it) "thanks!"
Che-che : "For YOUR WRINKLES." (Stressing her words n says with a sheepish smile
She has nothing nice to say to her mom. #acceptingaging#
She never forgets her mom’s magnets. Thank you! I haven’t found the display thing to put all our fridge magnets.
“You must try this. This is nice.”
Hmm….let me try to recall, what was the souvenir hubby bought from the China-NKorea border?
The funniest and unlikely thing she came back with - Toothpaste!
Haha! We teased her growing to be like daddy who loves to buy toothbrush and toothpaste
