Right from the start, I knew that the year 2021 was gonna mark a big change in my life.
Going from being a mum of three to now a mum of four, the truth is it is never as easy as it seems. The sleepless nights, the frustration, the never ending demands, the feeling of being a mother cow, the mountain of chores each day, these are the things that stress me out. Just like every mum, I have to deal with the problems, learn to take things in my stride and find solutions that will work for me.
In short, life has totally changed since 23 February and from the looks of it, it's never gonna be the same again. While I am still learning to juggle my duties as a newly minted mum with four kids, including a newborn, two middle children and the firstborn who is in her PSLE year, my heart is full everyday and I look forward to tackling the challenges one by one with a positive spirit and unwavering determination. Yup, 我行,我能,我可以!
In this post of "Happiness is...", it's about welcoming a new life and seeing the miracle of birth, as well as learning to cope with my new life with a thankful heart.

"I miss my confinement.... food!!!"
Yup, although I don't miss the part on having yucky hair, waking up umpteen times a night or having to waddle around, I honestly miss all the nutritious food I had during that first month.
It's all thanks to Tian Wei Signature who delivered the meals to my doorstep daily so I didn't have to depend on anyone else to take care of me. Not only did it save me the convenience of cooking, it also ensured that I was eating well-balanced, nourishing meals designed to boost my recovery.
Did you know? Tian Wei offers a fusion menu with over 90 meat and vegetable dishes, resulting in a wide range of delectable cuisine with minimal repetition. No MSG is used and instead, the emphasis is on fully natural flavours. The food is also perfect for breastfeeding mums due to the addition of milk-boosting lactogenic ingredients, yay!
Although I was able to view the menu online and find out what dishes I was going to receive each day, I love the element of surprise in opening the thermal bag and not knowing that was inside. The kids were always eager to help too and like what I shared previously, they all gave their thumbs up for the food and said they liked it! Swipe to see some of the dishes we tried.
From traditional confinement food like pork liver, red fermented wine chicken and braised pork trotters in black vinegar to fusion dishes like grilled chicken, seared salmon and kurobuta pork loin, I tried all of it and found it such an interesting and enjoyable mix of cuisine. Oh, and I love all the different herbal soups too which helped to accelerate postpartum recovery and replenish "Qi", my favourite being the fenugreek green papaya fish soup. Love it!
Yup, so you can tell I really enjoyed the food and the entire fuss-free, pleasant experience which gave me a much needed peace of mind, something which I totally appreciated as a newly minted mum of 4. I will be doing a giveaway this week so keep a lookout for that! Happy Monday, people!

My two personal best skin fatigue fighters by @byterryofficial!
1️⃣ Supercharged with 8 hyaluronic acids, By Terry Hyaluronic Global Face Cream technically replace two hyaluronic acid serums, a niacinamide serum, a moisturizer, an eye cream, a day cream, and a night cream. The clean, vegan & fragrance-free formula also contains other key actives such niacinamide and phytosqualane.
💜Honest Thoughts :
Gorgeous soft cream-gel texture, almost turns into a serum as you massage it in! I am a huge fan of having HA in my moisturisers so I can safely layer it with other actives in my serums. This lightweight creme gives no tightness, no dryness, no white residue on skin, no pilling!
A month ago, I panicked when my face experienced a mild bout of keratosis pilaris after consecutive days of thick makeup under warm weather. After using this newly minted Holy Grail of mine, my skin was dramatically transformed into calm, soft & radiant texture. The bumps were reduced to almost nonexistent. Pores appeared smaller, fine lines are plumped and seemed less noticeable. I used it on my under eyes too, so that’s a bit of savings on eye cream!
Highly recommend this all-in-one winning formula to all my sensi-combi skin sisters! 🌟
2️⃣The By Terry Hyaluronic Hydra-Concealer is marketed as a hyaluronic acid skincare concealer, with an 87% skincare formula and “autoadaptable shade technology” which basically means the texture is sheer but buildable to effectively cover dark eye circles and other signs of fatigue.
I love that the texture feels so luxurious, smooth and highly blendable on the skin! At the end of the night after removing eye makeup, the appearance of fine lines seem to be less than usual and my usually dehydrated skin around my eyes do not feel dry at all! On non-eventful days, I would totally skip base makeup and replace foundation with a tinted moisturiser + this concealer! I also happily apply this on my smile lines and areas on the face where I need more hydration.
💟Thankful to #ByTerry for restoring my facial glow! Find yours at @escentialssg and @sephorasg. 💫
