When I think back on my childhood days, my visits to the wet market with my grandmother are among those that stand out in my memory. I remember following her around to the stalls at the Serangoon Gardens Market, gingerly tip-toeing over the wet floor near the fish stall and staring fascinated at the stallholder shaping fishballs by hand at lightning speed. Back then, it was par for the course to see meat lying in slabs on an open counter or hanging from meat hooks around the butcher. The ... read more
Pampering Your Skin with the Olive Oil Skin Care Company {Giveaway}
Being a mummy means that I’m often on the lookout for good stuff for my kids, and when I get to share it with them, I’m doubly thrilled! I was recently introduced to the soaps and balms from the Olive Oil Skin Care Company and was instantly attracted to the fact that these products are made from natural ingredients with no preservatives, additives, colourings or palm oil. The use of olive oil for dry skin has been a popular folk remedy for centuries, thanks to its moisturising and ... read more
SG50 and Beyond, We Will Get There
Over the past couple of weekends, we did something we don’t usually ever do — We joined the crowds that thronged the Marina Bay to watch the action from the National Day Parade rehearsals from the fringes. The husband is extremely crowd averse and while I LOVE the National Day Parade, if I don’t get tickets to the main show (which I haven't since they started the balloting system, *sob!*), I’m not one who would usually go jostle with crowds just to see fireworks. It started with a casual ... read more
Bossini x Frozen Collection
I don’t know about your household but in mine, the Frozen Fever has yet to abate. Till now, one of my little girl’s favourite things to do is to flash me a winsome smile and ask “Can I wear my Elsa Dress??” After gaining my consent, she would drag me to help her into her huge, puffy Elsa costume and waltz off, oblivious to the fact that it is a really hot afternoon. I always feel hot just looking at her in that polyester dress even as I admire her tenacity! So I was really pleased to hear that ... read more
Singapore Legends Come To Live At Gardens By The Bay
As we gear up towards the weekend of our Golden Jubilee, it certainly feels like the whole Singapore is getting ready to celebrate! One spot that has gotten all dressed up for the occasion is Gardens By The Bay, which last Friday launched its Singapore Stories Floral Display in the Flower Dome. Here you will find floral interpretations of 10 local legends, with orchids, including our national, flower the Vanda Miss Joaquim naturally taking centre stage. Over 8,000 orchids and plants in a ... read more
Rebuilding Singapore Memories with Lego
What can you build out of Lego? I think, just about anything when you put your mind to it. The results of this can be clearly seem at the Raffles City Level 3 atrium where the winning entries of the Lego Rebuild Your Memories competition are currently being displayed. The competition, which ended on 26 June 2015, invited Singaporeans to bring to life their favourite memories of Singapore with Lego. A fitting tribute to SG50, this Lego-loving family would agree! At the Lego Rebuild Your ... read more
The LKY Musical
“The story of Lee Kuan Yew in a musical? Really?” my husband asked. It seemed like a bit of a strange proposition when The LKY Musical was first announced. The idea that a man who was so much larger than life, the times that he lived through and the course of history he charted with his every move could be conveyed in song and dance seemed incongruous to say the least. Now, after having had the privilege of watching the musical during the gala opening on Friday, I’m here to tell you that ... read more
Interplay at the Singapore Science Centre
What would the playground of tomorrow look like? We got a glimpse of that over the weekend at the blockbuster exhibition Interplay, currently being held at the Singapore Science Centre. Of course, it wasn't actually a playground. On since 30 May till 16 August 2015, Interplay is a highly interactive exhibition curated by the world-renown digital media institution ARS ELECTRONICA Linz GmbH together with the Singapore Science Centre. The exhibition marries science with art, featuring a collection ... read more
Weekend Brunch at District 10
Another weekend, another brunch place! This time it was because the husband had a full-day course on a Saturday morning, leaving me to figure out what to do with the kids. I decided it’d be a good opportunity to meet up with the gramps so brunch it was! Now, my parents generally get a bit stressed going out with me and my active kids so I thought it would be best to bring everyone to a place where the children would be free to expend some energy when they needed to. I’ve known of District 10 ... read more
Memories at the Botanic Gardens
We’ve been sick sick sick these past three weeks and counting, and it’s been no fun at all! The whole family has been taking turns to be struck down with a very virulent strain of Influenza A. It’s been very tiring but with Noey and the husband finally on the mend, I’m hoping we’ve seen the last of it! It’s been extra quiet here on the blog as we struggle to get back on our feet but I just wanted to take some time to say how thrilled I am that the Singapore Botanic Gardens has been inscribed as ... read more
