We attended our first yacht party on Ximula Sail and it was simply amazing! We ate, we drank, we partied, we swam, we did a yacht jump, we tried standup paddleboarding, and for a whole Saturday afternoon, we just relaxed.

Yup, we managed to get away from the kids for those few hours even though it took some struggle and tears from the littlest. You know, it's only the second time in nine years that we've been away from the kids in the day so as to get some couple time. Yup, we really don't like to trouble our parents to take over our parenting job because we see it as our responsibility. But I have to say it's also important to remember that we are not just parents, we are also hubby and wifey and a strong marriage builds the foundation for strong family ties.

It's gonna get easier as the kids get older and are better able to look after and entertain themselves. So, I am quite certain our couple time will only increase as the years pass.

This was a fabulous opportunity for us to enjoy, chill out and connect with our friends and I have to earnestly thank them for inviting us and making it such a fun, memorable session for everyone.

23 years of friendship and counting! It's always a joy to travel with friends, especially when our kids get along so well and love spending every moment together.

Thanks for making this short trip so much more fun and for conquering the obstacle course together today! We did rope swings, fell off narrow platforms, star jumped and went on a steep slide that landed us in the water. The kids said it was absolutely awesome and I think we mums enjoyed letting our hair down too - though it was pretty tiring having to swim and climb up the inflatable platform, and get four kids up too, again and again. Can't believe we survived an hour of it! Haha. Totally worthwhile!

Just before I went for the trip, my eldest said to me "Mummy, you bring didi on a holiday which makes it not really a holiday for you, right?"

Yup, that is quite true, my dear. The toddler is super clingy to Mama and doesn't like me to be out of his sight, not even for a split second, because he will come shouting "Mama, where, Mama, where..." and search high and low for me. That said, all my three babies have been super sticky and clingy when they were young and I'm so used to it and even learnt to cherish it because I know it's not going to last once they grow up.

On this short trip to Phuket, my fun-loving friends had the chance to try out activities (that I used to do pre kids) like jet ski, banana boat, shooting, go kart and snorkelling. I managed to do one of them, because either the boy couldn't swim so he couldn't do it or he refused to let me do it. Like I really wanted to try out the shooting range with a .45 pistol and tried to pass the sleeping boy to my friend but failed miserably because he woke up at once and bawled badly. Yup, just like his sisters used to.

Nonetheless, I am so thankful that at least I went on the banana boat, something which I've not done for, let me see, 17 years? Lol. We asked to be flipped and did not once, but twice. I screamed my lungs out because it was that thrilling and because it made me feel like a kid again. It was all thanks to a friend, who is an amazing dad of two himself, who was so sweet to ask me to go and enjoy while he took the kid despite knowing how tough a challenge it would be, and was bold enough to try, smart enough to find many ways to distract and patient enough not to give up when the boy whined for Mama.

That said, I am actually looking forward to the day too when the kids are bigger and can join us on many more island adventures. No, I don't want them to grow up too fast because I like them when they are little and needy, but I will also enjoy their company when they are mature and grown up. I just hope they will enjoy mine when that time comes too.
