A New Year 2017: Paused to flash back

Yes, 4 years since I have abandoned my blog.
Too Busy.
Too Lazy.

4 years seemed such a long time, yet time flies, and it's over mostly unknowingly.
From early 30s to now, mid 30s.
Gosh, that's harsh to swallow, I am aging!

Something to remember in 2013:
Jared is 2, in PG1
We traveled to Timisoara, Romania.
First time to Europe. And it's COLD~~~~~
First time bringing little Jared flying half the globe, me with anxiety and worried to the max as he is still a baby, yet excited with new experiences at all times.
Jared is so fascinated with the quaint buses and longstanding trains that we have to buy the tickets and go round the city again and again and he still gets amazed by it.
He loves the pigeon crowds too, and chases them laughing aloud.
Still remembered the rum chocolate that I bought, didn't realized that it was so delicious, I should have bought the whole box!

Something to remember in 2014:
Jared is 3, in PG2
We traveled to Atsugi, Yokohama, Japan. Our first time to Japan.
Late Cherry Blossom season and raining practically everyday.
Naughty Jared fell down from the lobby bench and marked his first scar below the lips.
For the 1st time, we fell in love with Japan toilet tops and Japan coffee.

Something to remember in 2015:
Jared is 4, in KN
To Perth, Australia, there we go-Free and Easy.
Handmade a week's itinerary: Driving throughout Perth City, Margaret River, Swan Valley, enjoying Farms, Vineyards, Postcard scenery paired with elegant chocolates, nougats, macadamias, toys etc.
Jared in his Christmas Batman Costume, one of the most stunning Christmas Holidays for 3 of us!

Something to remember in 2016:
Jared is 5, in K1
To Japan again. This time, Tokyo Metro & Tokyo Disneyland & DisneySea.
Made a full 2 weeks itinerary proved worthwhile.
One of our most happening and most memorable family time.
Can't go a day without Japan coffee. And Japan cup noodles marked our 2nd Japan favourite.
Ramen, Seafood, Japan curry rice, tit bits, canned food- Wow!
Not forgetting the best we love in Japan- Toilet tops full of buttons and warmed up seat when you sit on it. Superb!

And not so beautiful moments when Mum felt a lump on the breast and went for surgery; worse off, MIL is diagnosed with Breast Cancer.
Stage 4.

2017-A Fresh Start, A New Hope.
Jared turns 6!! He is officially a kid! I miss my baby...
And he starts Grade One in Ontario IB Syllabus International School.
Am so glad he adapts to the environment very well and enjoys school time very much.

Stay Tune, will write up when time allows.
