singapore life - we are exhausted // time to stop - a life update

[@LaiChingLeong-p6i]

Thanks for sharing the intimate details of your family life. I think your vids are very good and the places you visited in Singapore are really interesting and where many people don’t even know. Wish you a good break ahead, stay strong together, stay happy and healthy! 🎉

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! Happy to share and looking forward to more great videos of our amazing nation!

[@kenzone]

I’m sure all of us will be here when you’re back. Take as much time as you need to recharge. It’ll do you a whole world of good, and when you’re happy and stress-free, it’ll show on your vlogs too. Have enjoyed your vlogs since your days in the UK, so I know how much time, effort, blood, sweat and tears as well as emotions have gone into producing each video. Look forward to the Ubin visit. I think I’ve mentioned often in my comments that’s one of my favourite places - especially alone! 😂

[@ashleighryan9989]

You're doing amazing team ..thankful for the holidays 🎉

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thanks Ash!

[@dennisleong7866]

We love your videos , very positive and very informative 👍

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you!! Thank you for watching and engaging!

[@CliffordHeng]

Love your adventures as you bring us to different parts of Singapore. As a local, it is wonderful to see expatriates embrace Singapore and its diversity. Merry Christmas!!! We all need down time and enjoy it

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! Do check out Jonty’s video on Sunday about the expat-local divide! He’d be interested in your ideas! @jontytan

[@melodymngsh8100]

Families comes first. You will attract those who shares your values. Take a break when you need. Your growth becomes our growth when you speak with retrospect and when you figured things out

[@Dennis-kp2bc]

Hi Wanderlust, We all understand take a good break relax but hope to see all of you with more great videos. Wishing your whole family's Merry Christmas and Happy New Year HUAT AT !!!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you so much! We won’t be gone long (may not even miss a Friday) as we are fortunate to have a nice empty week approaching. We love making videos and are always forced to enjoy more of the world when we have a camera in hand. ❤️

[@melodymngsh8100]

We will be here when u r back. Come online when u have things to talk about. I think ur subscribers are mostly respected adults too. The chill off part.. it's great. It doesn't meant you must be in famous places. As long as the place gives you a nice cool vibe you can just sit down and have fun together.

[@k.m.stirpitz9403]

I've subscribed to all your channels. Keep it up but pace yourselves. Happy holidays!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thanks! Happy holidays to you too.

[@innerlight10]

Enjoy your videos Wonderlust team! Rest rest , recharge , revitalise, recuperate and rejoice in 2025. Don't get burnout.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! We are looking forward to 2025!

[@melodymngsh8100]

Gosh. I am in my fifties. Fifties is the new prime! Just pace yourself🎉

[@jewelchia5327]

Heya Wonderlust, take a break this year end and recharge. You are human beings, not human doings. Take a break this year end. 👍 Ps, a place you should visit is the Changi Chapel & Museum, along with a cool restaurant, The Bark Cafe, next to it, no crowds, where people can chill at.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! Yes, making sure we look after ourselves and each other. We have been to Changi Chapel Museum, but I don’t think the Bark Cafe was there before! We’ll have to do a re-visit!

[@ChewChew-s3u]

Didn't see your videos showing Little india Mustafa centre (shopping mall). That mall very interesing..selling alots stuff., can say what u want mostly can get . It open 24hrs !

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Yes!! We have had one in the works for a long time but not yet completed… maybe over the next few weeks!

[@tristenwegner5636]

Love watching your videos, We will be holidaying is Singapore over the new year! 16 more days we’re all excited, so Many more places we want to see after watching your family adventures! Take time recharge you guys are amazing oxoxox

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Incredible! Do reach out if you want! [e-mail] 😊

[@nicholaschan4841]

Thank God when i saw your title i thought you guys were stopping for good😢 I cant imagine how you guys have a full time job and yet have the energy and commitment and discipline to vlog every week without fail😅 Amazing! You know you are my favorite vloggers as you guys make it an effort and resport to reply to all my messages unlike most vloggers. I've heard and seen how some or kost vloggers and pretentious but you guys are real and genuine and sincere. That's why I've been following you guys from the beginning😊 It's a feat to just vlog on Spore as we are so saturated. I dont know or came across any vloggers who just vlog on Spore alone. Maybe you are the only one. I look forward to every Friday for your videos. Now I'll patiently wait as long you guys don't stop for good😊 Take care and have a good rest and recharge!😊

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you so much - appreciate the support so much. We may not skip any Fridays as the timing of the school holidays is perfect and we have time to recharge. We are lucky that we really love making these videos!

[@reddotdiva]

Have a good break!!! A chill downtime is soooo needed. Been feeling exhausted myself. December had a lot of activities, and one can never really feel how old you are until you go up and down a busy comic convention on two days. I have yet to monetise anything. I don't know if I have the mental capacity to do that extra since I have a full time job + aged parents at home already. Maybe when I retire or semi-retire? hahahha But please... rest, take your mind off content creation for awhile and enjoy Life and family and good food in general, without being in front of a camera.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! Sounds like you had a full on December! We’ll enjoy some rest and film what we love!

[@marcslacker3713]

Its different having to make a video on top of just introducing the wonderful places as a family outing..Thank u so much for sharing and take a well deserved rest,listen to ur body and come bk better..:)

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you so much. We have some wonderful places to explore and love sharing it with you all, so they’ll keep coming!

[@Paul-gj9sm]

Hurray! time to chill and relax! Have fun!

Indeed! Happy Christmas 🎄

She’s 9, going on 21 😂

[@cheryll8008]

Wow your grandma's age is awesome! Hope she'll live a long life! You are lucky to still have her around! I think sometimes you do need time off from shooting and take time off for your well being and mental health! It is very important nowadays! ❤ much love from Malaysia. I think Aspen is beautiful

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you ☺️ we will be taking some days to switch off and chill!

[@cheryll8008]

@ good enjoy yourselves & have a wonderful Christmas guys 👍🏻

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@patriciagoulter]

First of all, how lucky is Aspen to have you as parents. Next, children grow up faster than you realise, look at them when you were in quarantine! Next, do take care of yourselves, I love all the new channels, but do worry about the pressure you put upon yourselves. You do an amazing job, as I have mentioned before, my husband and I enjoy your videos, and have explored places on our trips that we wouldn't have otherwise. Take care

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you so much for the support! We are learning to take it in our stride and to take it easy when we need too! Jonty explained a bit more about his pace of life in his recent blog on jontytan.com 😊

[@Black_Sun_Dark_Star]

Happy Holidays!

[@EL-wm5wl]

Hi... No trainspotting vibes today but thank you for your honesty. And if you are willing to indulge in my perspective, I'll start by saying that after all these years I still haven't fully caught on to all these youtube/social media yet. I'm not a subscriber to your channel, but I'm not a subscriber to ANY channel either. That said, I have mostly enjoyed your videos, even more so when I sense that you folks truly enjoy doing it. But truthfully, your videos have recently begun to look really forced too. I don't care about having to see you post every week/friday. I don't care if you think I have ancient/boomer viewpoints. And it's a little sad that you seem to need to generate revenue via youtube, but life is life and if that's what you determine to be the best way forward for you then I support that too. I hope that you guys stay they way you are, truly enjoying your family and life in Singapore, and if that means having to continue or stop youtube, that's fine too... All the best and see you around!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thanks for the comment. Actually our videos recently have given us so much joy to make, we have tried something new with the way we present them and so your feed back is helpful to see whether we have lost a personal edge. We don’t NEED to make money via KZbin, we actually have chosen it as the route that we most enjoy - we are grateful to have a few avenues we can pursue and there isn’t pressure to make it work, as we are planning 3-5 years in advance… but we love creating content and hope to keep sharing the wonderful of our world with you every week 😊

[@durian9988]

Take a break...recharge! Come back in 2025, and share where u are headed? God bless, Merry Christmas, n Happy New 2025!😀🥂🎉

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Thank you! Not planning to go anywhere outside of Singapore, but plenty of places to enjoy right here!

[@audreyang902]

Living UK is expensive for local as well . Tax, Childcare , medical is expensive .

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

We found the UK to be expensive on the salaries we were on. Finding ways to keep expenses down is a good idea any way and we’re looking to save some more for the future too.

[@audreyang902]

SG is not expensive to live . For car, yes.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Cars are very expensive here, I can see why. It will just be a big car park 😛 public transport is so good here I don’t miss my car at all.

[@MsLilac88]

Hello friends, I always feel intrigued by your amazing videos, life in Singapore is quite hectic compared to life in the West, there are more holidays in the West, have you guys been to London? 😊

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

taking a break helps in the long run. happy holidays!

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Absolutely - it’s time to recharge. Happy holidays to you too.

[@kennySg101]

Singapore is expensive if your kids are studying at an international school, have a car and stay in condo. Working and doing video is exhausting. Keep it up.

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

I guess so! We don’t have a car… BMW all the way (Bus, MRT, Walk!)

[@tonyariel168]

the east Singapore indeed has a different vibe, more chill and rejuvenating

[@WONDERLUSTworld]

Agreed! Makes all the difference!
