Missing Mama Vie

Whenever we miss my mom (whom we fondly call Mama Vie), we find the best and fastest remedy: Book flights to Singapore with Dial a Flight. Mama Vie stayed with us for almost 7 months after I gave birth to Baby Gian. That was her longest and most enjoyable (she enjoyed helping in taking care of her youngest grandchild) stay in Singapore. She is a retired government elementary teacher in the Philippines and she went back home last March to settle some paper works for her pension.

My mom was granted a 5-year Long Term Social Visit Pass by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) of Singapore after our family acquired our permanent residence in 2008. She's been traveling to and fro Singapore/Philippines since 2005, when hubby and I are still holding a Special Pass (Work Visa). Below are her captured memories in Singapore through the years.

My mom is not getting any younger and all we wish for her is to enjoy life and be worry-free. On her birthday this year, hubby and I gifted her a weekend spa bliss getaway at Batam Island, Indonesia.

She deserves the treat for always being there for us. Now, we are missing her so much! We can't wait to have her again with us very soon. We already booked her flight back to Singapore with just one dial and she said she's more than happy to see us again, most especially Kyla and Baby Gian!
