This month is Eco Month with IKEA! As we consider the topic of sustainable living, I thought this would be a great time for me to share a bit about our urban farming efforts. If you’ve been following this blog, you might know a little about our efforts to grow our own vegetables. Like most Singaporeans, I live in an apartment with no garden to call my own. We do however have a small balcony, and about two years ago, I unexpectedly found myself in possession of some cherry tomato plants. ... read more
Designer Togs For Less with Mini Outfitters {Giveaway}
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked at my daughter’s wardrobe and thought, “Dang, she has nicer clothes than me!” When I look back at my childhood photos, I have many (many) times come across snapshots where I cringed a little at what I was wearing. It certainly wasn’t always my mother’s fault. I know I had a hand in certain choice ensembles! My kids however, are far more fortunate simply because they just have really nice clothes. I don’t consider myself much of a shopper but ... read more
Experiencing Life in Full Colour with The Blue Man Group
Eight years ago when my husband and I embarked on our yet-to-be-topped best holiday ever to the west coast of USA, I put a quirky and unusual show on my list during on stop in Las Vegas — a wordless show with three blue men making music playing on pipes and playing with paint… It was The Blue Man Group, and at that first encounter, I was wowed by the energy, creativity and sheer coolness of the show. I sure never expected to catch them here in Singapore but life does tend to surprise you! In ... read more
A Run On The Wild Side at the Safari Zoo Run
In my past life (ie. when I was young and energetic), I used to love to run. It sure feels like a lifetime ago now! Still, those days of running with my team mates were some of the best days of my life and my fondest memories from my schooling days. While I rarely run these days -- running after my kids probably doesn't count -- I still remember the buzz I used to get from running and competing, something that I would love my kids to experience for themselves as well. Well, an opportunity ... read more
Sakura Season in Singapore at the Gardens
Sakura season is just starting in Japan, but for those of us not lucky enough to be visiting the Land of the Rising Sun, Gardens by the Bay is where to head for a taste of this ethereal experience! As part of what has been termed an “experimental floral display”, the Flower Dome has been transformed and styled after a Japanese garden, complete with cherry blossom trees for Gardens by the Bay’s latest floral display, Blossom Beats. These trees have started blooming and the ephemeral cherry ... read more
The Little Miss Is FIVE!
My little Miss turned five recently. FIVE! She could barely contain her excitement. In the week leading up to her birthday, she told everyone that her birthday was coming and on 2 March itself, she woke up bright and early, ready to receive all the birthday wishes which we were all happy to bestow on her. If you’ve been around this space for a while, you’ll know that I love organising parties for my kids. I’d started discussing some ideas with Mei for her 5th birthday but due to a variety of ... read more
Leisurely Weekend Buffet Breakfast At Sandbank {Giveaway}
How does a buffet breakfast by the beach with a private plunge pool at your fingertips sound? Sounds like the perfect way to start the weekend to me!

Available on weekends and on public holiday mornings, you get to feast on a spread that includes breakfast favourites such as bacon, sausages, and roasted potatoes, as well as eggs freshly prepared to your ... read more
Disney On Ice Magical Ice Festival 2016
The school holidays got off to a great start for Mei and I with Disney On Ice on over the weekend! I must confess that I’ve been looking forward to this almost as much as my daughter. And we were not the only ones! On our way to the stadium, we saw plenty of excited little girls kitted out their princess outfits making their way to the show. It was not surprising, considering that this edition, Disney On Ice Magical Ice Festival features some of the most popular Disney Princesses ... read more
Personalised Art of Our Very Own with The Commissioned
The longer the husband and I have been together, the fewer presents we buy each other, it seems. It is a bit sad, but I suppose it is practicality at work. I enjoy picking out what I want for myself and there’s no way I’m buying any more LEGO for him if I can help it, so that’s that! But for my 10th wedding anniversary, I wanted to get him, and get us, something special. It was a significant anniversary and I wanted to get him a gift that would mean something to the both of us. I was still ... read more
The Three Billy Goats Gruff 三只山羊 (Mandarin Version)
One of the highlights of our CNY this year took place in the theatre when we had the opportunity to go catch SRT’s The Little Company’s latest mandarin production, The Three Billy Goats Gruff 三只山羊. I had enjoyed the English version tremendously and was looking forward to seeing how this show would translate into Mandarin. Would the Mandarin version still be able to convey the wit, drama and comedy of the original script? The answer is YES, though in a slightly different way. I think the ... read more
