One week into the school holidays and I'm finally having some time to catch my breath.Over the weekend, I took some time to upload some photos that had been sitting in my camera and came across some photos from the last day of school made me smile. The last day of school is traditionally a huge water play day for the whole school. Staff and helpers arrive early to fill over 10 pools, with one strategically placed under the playground slide, turning it into a water slide! It is one of the ... read more

Play, Learn and Explore with the Doctor For A Day App {Giveaway}

Getting In The Act with Act 3!
Let the wild rumpus start!Raaaar!And so it did, on a Saturday morning a couple of weeks back when both Noey and I got to attend a drama workshop at Act 3 Drama Academy. Yes, you read that right. I rocked up with Noey on a Saturday morning expecting to be watching him have fun but instead found myself taken to a separate room with the other parents and given a short 30-minute session to allow us to experience first hand a taster of what a drama worship at Act 3 Drama Academy entails.Frankly, I ... read more
Orchard Parade Hotel Family Staycation
I love me a good staycation, especially one which the whole family is able to enjoy.A couple of weeks back we had the opportunity to check out (or rather, check-in into) Orchard Parade Hotel to experience their Family Staycation Package on behalf of TheSmartLocal.com and it was a welcome break for all of us. I have a soft spot for this hotel since it was here, albeit in its previous incarnation as Ming Court Hotel, that my parents celebrated their wedding banquet nearly 40 years ago. Considering ... read more
Riotous Fun at A Midsummer Night’s Dream by Shakespeare’s Globe
"The course of true love never did run smooth."And how it did indeed run riot in this absolutely stellar production of A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare's Globe Theatre!I felt a tingle of excitement from the moment the actors stepped out on stage in their renaissance costumes and I continued to be riveted throughout this madcap, highly inventive staging of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. A Midsummer Night's Dream is a comedy and indeed we were kept laughing as this comedy of ... read more
The K2 Graduation and Year-End Concert Milestone
These past few weeks has been tough for my mummy heart. First there was this: Yes, folks, I've got a (kindy) graduate on my hands.For the first time his school decided to have a separate graduation ceremony for the K2s, so instead of receiving their certificates at the annual school concert, the little graduands got to have their own ceremony. I really appreciated the effort made by the school to do this. It meant two events (this graduation and the school concert), an additional set of ... read more
Big Hero 6!
Move aside Olaf, there's a new guy in town (who happens to also be white and love hugs!).He is none other than Baymax, the adorable inflatable robot who is the star of Disney's latest offering for the holidays -- Big Hero 6.We were privileged to be able to be among the first to catch the movie here in Singapore at Filmgarde Bugis+ over the weekend and this movie was a hit with both the kids and adults alike. I shouldn't have been surprised though, considering that this film was created by the ... read more
Hop & Honk: Funny and Full of Heart
What would a Frog Prince and an Ugly Duckling have in common?Plenty, it seems, judging from ITheatre's year-end theatre extravaganza, Hop & Honk, a play that imaginatively tries to weave the two well-known fairy tales into one.Mei and I made a girly date of it on the Saturday afternoon after the kids' year-end concert as the boys took off to do their own thing (ie. play with LEGO!) Being familiar with both tales, she was excited to see the duckling turn into a beautiful swan and… the ... read more
Celebrating 9 Years at SKIRT
October is a month of celebrations for us, as aside from Noey's birthday, we also celebrate our wedding anniversary.It is 9 years this year for us, and it feels like time has just sped us by. The husband was in fact totally taken by surprise. "I thought it was our 8th anniversary!" he said when I greeted him in the morning. Well, it's been 9 years mister! I merrily informed him that I fully intended to collect on a holiday sans kids next year for the 10TH! Hee.Well, this year, we kept it simple ... read more
