After welcoming their newborn, Farah Nabilah found herself deeply immersed in the demands of motherhood, leaving little time to bond with her eldest son and share special moments with her partner. On her recent family trip with her husband and eldest son, Farah discovered that a laid-back getaway was the perfect opportunity to slow down and embrace the joy of exploring new places and experiences together, allowing them to address and overcome the usual challenges head-on. Beyond just a getaway, this trip was a heartfelt journey to reconnect, rediscover their love, and create new memories together. A short trip from Malaysia, Singapore stands as the perfect haven for new mums like Farah seeking to rejuvenate and rekindle family bonds. Wandering through the city’s vibrant tapestry, they dove into a world of family-friendly attractions and delectable halal dining experiences. This adventure offers the perfect backdrop for Farah to share precious moments with her eldest son before he steps into a new chapter, while also strengthening the family’s ties. Discover the magic, love, and joy of togetherness in Singapore, where every moment is a uniquely cherished memory in the making. Explore The City With A Cool Ride Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Singapore Sidecars Explore the rich tapestry of the Lion City’s vibrant culture and history with Singapore Sidecars. Kids under 10 can even join in on the fun, getting treated to a ride in a vintage Beetle. Feeling the thrill of riding in a classic Vespa sidecar was a nostalgic experience for Farah, who was brought back to her childhood days of riding through the city streets with her dad. Now getting to share this memory with her son, Andre—an avid car lover—, this moment was made more heartwarming as an experience she hopes he too can reminisce on someday. Get Creative As A Family Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Splat Paint House Step into Splat Paint House, a world where creativity thrives without boundaries (and Mom doesn’t have to do the cleaning after!). A lover of the arts, Farah has always been a firm believer in the power of expression through art form; so when the opportunity came to share this with her family, it was only a matter of time before everyone was getting their hands dirty! More so, Farah’s son, Andre, was able to unleash his hidden artistic freedom. Discover Food That Speaks To Your Love Language Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Harummanis What better way to reconnect with your partner than through a gastronomical experience that blends familiar flavours rooted in local heritage? Look no further than Harummanis, the perfect setting for busy parents like Farah and her husband, Amirul, to catch up on some quality time together. Balancing demanding careers while being hands-on parents doesn’t leave much room for one-on-one time, so this little respite was just what the couple needed to reconnect through their shared love for food. Connect Through Shared Curiosities Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Keppel Centre for Art Education Designed to ignite creativity and curiosity, Keppel Centre for Art Education proves that there’s more to art than meets the eye. Inspired by the rich art of Singapore and Southeast Asia, the family found themselves learning as much about each other as they did the exhibits. Through immersive hands-on experiences, the family’s collective curiosity found its place, with Amirul letting out his inner child—creating 3D structures from scratch—and Andre’s enthusiasm to have his parents learning with him made Farah thankful she was able to play an integral role in her child's growth. Find The Perfect Family Fit Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Simply Rays Nothing speaks to the union of a family than picking outfits for each other. When the family visited contemporary brand Simply Rays, the highlight of the experience was having Farah, who’s usually used to being dressed by the best to be the matriarch in picking her family’s outfits for the day. For her, it’s these little moments that bring a delightful pitch to any gathering and something the whole family enjoys, turning a routine task into a fun family activity filled with laughter and creativity. Bond Over Shared Moments of Discovery and Wonder Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Mandai Wildlife Group At River Wonders, families embark on an immersive journey that isn't just about exploring wildlife—it's about bonding over shared moments of discovery. From majestic freshwater giants to colourful tropical fish, this inside look into the wonders of aquatic life at Asia's only river-themed theme park provided a special educational experience for the family. To Farah’s surprise though, it was an especially magical moment for Amirul, who seemed like a kid again upon seeing all the animals in their element, making it an unforgettable encounter he will never forget. Experience the magic of the animal kingdom after dark at the Night Safari. With its unique blend of adventure and education, the world's first nocturnal wildlife park offered something special for each of the family. Through a guided tram ride, the chance to witness animals in their natural environment, up-close and uncaged, brought a smile to her face. This was also a special moment for Andre, an animal lover at heart, who got to experience this for the first time in real life. Though Farah’s baby boy, Gibran, couldn’t join his brother this time, it will definitely not be the last time the family pays a visit to their new animal friends. Take A Moment To Chill Before Heading Home Credit: Singapore Tourism Board, Jewel Changi Airport At Jewel Changi, a stunning fusion of futuristic architecture and lush natural beauty merge seamlessly. With various dining, shopping, and entertainment options, Farah and her family were treated to a multitude of family-friendly activities and fun attractions. Stepping into the Mirror Maze, the family were thrown for a loop, leading to funny moments of confusion that seemed superfluous in hindsight as long as they were together. The highlight of the day was when Farah—who despite having a fear of heights—couldn't help but marvel at the breathtaking Rain Vortex, the cascading waterfall turning her trepidation into sheer wonder and making it the perfect end to a trip they’ll never forget. Finding time to reconnect with your loved ones is not just a luxury, but a necessity. A relaxing bonding trip allows your family to unwind, rediscover each other, and strengthen the bonds that truly matter. Whether it's exploring vibrant attractions or simply enjoying each other's company in a new setting, these moments are invaluable. So, take that step to disconnect from the everyday grind and reconnect with your family. Embrace the chance to explore the world together and cherish the joy of experiencing life's wonders side by side. For more insightful stories and fun recipes, stay tuned to Motherhood Story!
