So grateful to always have talented people to shoot our family photos and videos. Despite Layla being extra tired, (bcos she woke up 1 hr earlier than usual), the shoot went very well. With babies, it's requires a really different kind of team work. The session needs to be short, sweet and sharp. The team needs have that unspoken chemistry, so that when unforeseen situation happens (which is all the time with babies), they are able to salvage it quickly! Which was what happened with Layla and her cake. I was expecting her to dig into it and devour it. But she didn't, she couldn't deal with the texture, and kept wanting to crawl to me instead. What wasnt caught on camera was Papa and Mama stuffing the cake into our mouth, bcos it was sooo yummy! Big thanks to @delciesdesserts for this really yummy cake! I had actually placed an order for a baby friendly cupcakes for Layla's birthday. But Delcie was very kind to offer us a real cake for today's shoot! It was hard to see it being smashed to pieces. But knowing that Layla was gonna put it into her mouth, i wanted to make sure the cake was of good quality for baby, especially when I'm so particular abt her food. Thank you @bobbykiranyeo, @linstudios and @wulalaaa for making today's session so fun! Can't wait for the end results. Ahh, can't believe my bub is turning 1. Slow down, little one, slow down! #sheilalovesherlife #babyWooLaLa #wearethewoosim #laylaturns1 #singapore #botanicgardensingapore #babyturnsone #babyphotoshoot Ps: i know you'll be asking. The cake topper with Layla's face was ordered from Taobao.

Behind every second of glamour lies years of unspoken hard work. Many people saw my growth over the years, but not many witnessed my struggles and fears. I contemplated quitting more than a hundred times, especially on days when everything seemed bleak and my “so-called future” made no sense at all. Like all things in life; the winner is not always the smartest, merely the one who stays the longest in the game. Throughout my journey, many people opt into this game, but countless left for seemingly more exciting opportunities too. My biggest strength is that I chose to stay despite whatever shit happens. After all, a diamond is not formed overnight, it is made under extreme pressure ❤️💎 So if you are struggling now; trust me, YOU MUST STAY and be a fighter! 💪🏻

【一個人· Mindful Idleness】 from time to time, you just need a moment for yourself and yourself only. No one to tell you what to do, no schedule to chase, just be yourself and be with yourself. No goal, away from the busy mind, entering a mindful idleness. HK people are too obsessed with living a restless life, taking priority of mindless activities over mindful inactivity. Rest in both mind and body is too often overlooked. Thanks @heartinplace for providing this relaxing shared space where individuals (and only individual) can chill and be free without disturbance. Feels at home but then not really at home where a lot of agonies and worries may lie. It‘s very sensible to say HK desperately need more mindfulness advocates. In here, you’re only paying for the time spent. A complementary light dessert and coffee to enlighten your stay. What intrigued me was the brief conversation I had with the owner, there was an unspoken mutual understanding and openness which was unexpected with a supposed stranger. Belgium beige waffle A tender and crumbly (a bit shortbread like) waffle with a nice buttery aroma and the sweet maple syrup is the icing on the waffle. A lovely sweet treat. Flat white A flat white, with a nutty house blend, is rich and velvety, honestly tasted better than many so-called coffee shops out there 🤭 • #foodiejojo_cwb • 🇭🇰 Heart in Place (CWB) 5/F, Pak Sha Road No.8 Hong Kong
