I will call the vet tomorrow to ask if it’s OK for a cat to go for a spay surgery despite having a tummy upset. If it’s not ok, we will have to reschedule the surgery AGAIN!! I can’t wait for the spay surgery to be over and done with pronto. Haru’s last heat was really bad and she was in discomfort and then ended up with a tummy discomfort. Our ears were in discomfort too. I couldn’t concentrate on my work with Haru yowling all day. It drove me bonkers!
Haru was super pissed with us dressing her up like a circus clown. She hissed and spat at us and tried to run away from all her doting sisters who couldn’t resist how terribly cute she looked in the romper, laughing, squeezing her and kissing her, just like a human baby 😻
I had big plans for the year 2020. I had planned for a year-end vacation with my family and parents to some Asian countries – Japan, Vietnam, Korea or Taiwan, as a treat to my girls for completing their major government exams last year. I even planned for our family to wear family matching outfits and take tons of photos and videos during our overseas tour.  Â
I also had plans to get myself a new car as I planned to pass my existing car to Alycia when she gets her driver’s license. I had planned for her to drive to college every day so that she doesn’t have to take public transportation to college, which is more than 20km away from our home.Â
But Covid derailed all my dreams and plans. It crushed us. Instead of an envisioned beautiful overseas vacation, we were all stuck at home. Our much-awaited overseas holiday flew out of the window. Never in my wildest dream would I have dreamt that it wouldn’t be possible for the girls to go to school for almost 2 years. So many of our girls’ milestones celebrations were snatched away by Covid.
Covid cases in our country are slowly dipping in recent weeks. Our country has recently reopened all the sectors. State lines have also reopened and the tourism sector is revived yet again. I can’t wait to go back to Ipoh to visit my parents whom I have not seen since February last year during Chinese New Year. It feels surreal that we can finally travel back to Ipoh. Hubby has bought a bunch of Covid self-test kits at wholesale prices and we’ll be using them quite a bit soon before traveling back.
I love traveling with the girls. When they were younger and more willing to wear whatever clothes that I bought, we would be in matching outfits during our trips. Photos always turned out beautiful when the girls were in matching outfits.
When Cass was younger, she and I would sometimes be in mommy and me outfits. I really miss those days when the girls were younger, so willing to be my models and always so obliging to my requests. I used to be obsessed with those mummy and me outfits and would shop for them online from kids clothing stores like Popopieshop.
I love taking photos of a pretty-synced-up family in matching clothes. Matching clothes show that your family is strong, happy, and likes to spend time together. A family in matching outfits shows that you’re the kind of family that likes to have fun and thinks outside the box while ordinary clothes make you blend into society. Matching clothes create a special vibe that makes occasions like Christmas, Chinese New Year and birthdays even more special.
Matching clothes can be pretty affordable when you know where to shop for them online, like from Popopieshop. And if you grab them during sales, you may be able to grab some really good deals. Black Friday sales will start soon and you can start to browse for Black Friday mommy and me outfits at great prices.
This holiday season, try something fun and get your family to dress up in matching outfits for some Instagram-worthy photos!
