One candle. One family. And a season many PSLE parents feel deeply. ❤️
Our first candle activation of September took place while we were travelling abroad. Even though we were away from home, we brought our Double Blessings Candle along and shared this meaningful moment as a family.
After placing it safely in the recommended direction with the open sky ahead, we paused to reflect upon our sincere wishes.
📚 Korkor wished to remain focused, make steady progress and achieve better results for his PSLE.
As September brings us into the heart of the PSLE season, I know every child and parent carries it differently.
Some children feel anxious and may not know who to approach for calm guidance. Others seem completely relaxed while their parents quietly carry all the worry.
There is no single “correct” response. Sometimes, our children do not need more pressure—they need reassurance, a manageable routine and someone who believes they can move forward one step at a time.
🎒 As Jiejie watched her Korkor studying, she began thinking about her own next chapter. She wished for a happy and smooth transition into Primary 1 next year.
👶🏻 While Mummy guided Korkor and Jiejie, Daddy cared for baby Liam safely nearby. Liam watched us excitedly, fascinated by everything his siblings were doing.
❤️ Mummy wished for a healthy, fulfilling and blessed future for our family, our loved ones and everyone around us.
This reminded me of the ancient principle:
“修身,齐家,治国,平天下”
A better future begins with cultivating ourselves and nurturing our family well. A sincere wish gives us direction, but preparation, perseverance and action move us towards it.
Before leaving the room, we used the candle’s fitted lid to extinguish the flame completely, confirmed that it was fully out and allowed it to cool before moving it.
I genuinely appreciate this thoughtful, practical detail. Once completely cooled and covered, the candle is protected and easier to bring along when we travel.
心有所愿,身有所行
To every child sitting for the PSLE—and every parent supporting them behind the scenes—wishing you calm minds, steady progress and the strength to do your very best. ❤️
