Woohoo! We are featured in The Sunday Times today!
The topic is on how to have cosy, creative celebrations amidst the pandemic and how staying home presents an opportunity for families to bond and get closer.
If you follow my stories, you will know that Ariel designed an "Animal Experience Studio" for the family to get together and enjoy. She came up with a series of games, including a classification game using our animal figurines, a tossing game where you try to throw the animals into containers of different sizes, an animal 'hunt' where she hid them around the house, a drawing game where she categorised the animals based on easy/medium/hard level, and a Bingo game where she surprised me by painstakingly drawing every card by hand for each of us.
We played this during the Father's Day weekend recently and it was so much fun for the whole family. She even prepared small prizes from her own stationery and a lovely "Thank You" speech to thank us for participating. Awww. So I think she is very thrilled to see it being mentioned in the papers today and to see a huge photo of all of us playing her game. Yup, even her self-designed poster is featured too. You totally deserve it, my dear!
She said she was inspired by my DIY Halloween party last year and the name was derived from our visit to Changi Experience Studio earlier this year. And you know what? The success of this initiative has propelled her to want to create even more party games and celebrations for us in the future. Yippee!
Big thanks also goes to the hubby and the siblings for joining in wholeheartedly and to the big sister for ensuring that the games flowed smoothly too. It is indeed true that celebrating indoors does not have to be mundane but instead, it can be intimate, creative and fun. I am just so happy and relieved that the kids share my sentiments too.
Thanks to Kamal from The Straits Times for interviewing us and even including my blog link in the article too! What a great way to end off the school holidays, which I wish could last longer so we could have more fun as a family.
Have a happy Sunday, everybody! ❤

“新人”青峰首單5.24上線 大玩復古disco曲風
“新人”吳青峰全新個人單曲《Everybody Woohoo》將於5月24全球上架，他邀來90後新
生代爵士女聲“9m88”合唱。
新浪娛樂訊5月18日消息，“新人”吳青峰全新個人單曲《Everybody Woohoo》將於5月24
日全球上架。這首由他作詞作曲的新歌，少見以簡單直白口語歌詞及熱鬧活潑編曲讓歌迷
入耳洗腦，他更邀來90後新生代爵士女聲“9m88”合唱，新鮮組合讓歌曲饒富趣味和變化。
吳青峰在今年初的追星之旅結束後重新鑽研學習編曲，這首歌就是從當初第一批demo挑選
出來非常特別的作品，帶有強勁節奏感和復古disco味道，他表示：“一直以來寫了很多
不一樣的歌，有些不一定適合六個人一起表現，因為畢竟大家會做出大家有交集的東西。
這次算是比較屬於自己很少去發揮的部分，這幾年寫歌下來，發現還有很多不一樣的東西
可以嘗試，也有很多新鮮的想法一直冒出來，其實是蠻雀躍的！”
這次歌詞也比起過去大多數作品簡單易懂。青峰表示：「我想要表達的是，很多話我們說
的漫不經心或云淡風輕，也許當下覺得沒有意義，但事過境遷會發現為自己帶來某種意義
；很多東西可以輕鬆看待，也許我們就能跳脫“意義”的小框框！猛的一聽沒有意義的話
語woohoo也能突破大家想像的框架，為大家帶來改變的勇氣。」
這首歌已經為青峰自己帶來許多突破的正面力量，改變了“怕生”及“安於現狀”的慣性
，嘗試許多第一次，像是第一次跟不熟識的“9m88”合唱、與來自各方的全新樂手朋友合
作編曲，青峰表示：“我是一個看到不認識的人合作會先怯步的人，以前在蘇打綠時總會
習慣有夥伴支撐依賴，這次自己出來單打獨鬥，為了自己的作品我踏出了第一步，因為我
想做出我以前做不到的事！跟全新的樂手老師合作，每個人拋出新的想法及為了歌曲做立
即改變，那種感覺真好！”
這首新單曲花了整整兩個月製作，求好心切就是要讓大家聽到全新的吳青峰，為了要讓歌
曲復古華麗的Disco曲風徹底對味，過程中，吳青峰嘗試新的漫長的製作方式，和12位第
一次合作的樂手輪流在錄音室實驗玩耍，為期50天的錄音過程，大家輪番上陣，錄完又重
來，不停產生新的版本，打造出這首復古摩登的全新歌曲。
