Proposal Story – How I said “Yes”.
Eh, are you wondering why the sudden strange topic? This blog post is part of a “Proposal Stories Blog Train” where 15 mummies will share their proposal stories on 15 different days. So, it’s my turn today and I thought it would be a good opportunity to share because it was never documented on this blog. OMG, how did that happen right? How can I not document such a moment?! It’s true. It’s really not here. So I will try very hard to recall the event that happened 7 years ago. The memories are vague, but it happened on my birthday weekend, or rather, the weekend before my birthday (falls…

Checked off items on bucket list!
My blog has been quiet. But my life has been anything but boring. In fact, I have been so busy that I neglected the blog as a result. I sometimes do wonder if people read this anymore. Leave me a comment if you do.. it will definitely spur me to blog more! So, I have clocked up quite a bit of adventures in recent months…. Taiwan, Amsterdam, Cologne, Macau, Korea, USA and I can’t wait to blog about them. I really need to find the time amidst my work and parenting duties. And then, I was looking through my bucket list items today and realised I checked off quite a few! Here’s what I…

Hi there (again).
It’s been a long while since I have written a random, raw, unplanned post. Thought about it tonight and decided that maybe I should since the kids decided to spare me the agony and went to bed early. Hooray! Especially so on a solo-parenting night. I, haven’t blogged for a long long while. Since my last blog spot on CIDB, I kinda went dead silent. So much has happened since. 2016 has been rather eventful thus far. It took a sponsored post to break the 2 months silence, but there has been many times that I wanted to write… but just didn’t. What has been going on since? The happy…

Daiso 101 – 15 Useful Things from Daiso and what I do with them.
I confess, I am a Daiso-holic. And I know there are a lot of you out there who are the same, and maybe some of you choose to be closet ones, but still… I know a lot cannot resist the lure of stepping in and just browsing around, right? Com’on, there is no shame. We are all just super good at saving money and buying useful things at a fraction of their price sometimes. Other times, it’s for convenience sake! 😛 I… (much to the horror of my husband) often lug huge bags home from Daiso. My husband has a phobia each time I go near a store, but he doesn’t really…

Prepping the Teacher’s Day Present.
Teacher’s Day is next week! Parents with young school-going children like me are fretting about what to get. I know there are parents who don’t really bother, but I wanted to show my appreciation because I am thankful of the teachers who nurture my kids in the school they are at. All of them whom have impacted my kids in one way or another. I scrambled to put something together last week because I know we will be away on vacation in Taiwan. Want to know what I got for Jerry & Jerome’s teachers? Here’s a hint! Spent a few hours at night prepping the pressies with the husband. Here’s a image of the…

SG50 Family Fun with FOX Kids & Baby!
Over the last weekend, the boys got to attend a really cool and fun event! In celebration of the SG50 week, the team at FOX Kids & Baby organised a old school/retro themed media preview for the Fall Winter’15 collection at the City Square Mall outlet. The shop was closed off for a private event and the boys were really in for a treat! The City Square Mall outlet was somewhat being transformed, and they had a corner filled with old school treats that I could very much relate to as an 80’s kid! There were Doraemon boxed snack that comes with a toy (I loved this as a kid!),…

More on self and family, and less of everything else.
So, I have been blogging a lot lesser these days because I have thinking, and not really doing (blogging) much. 6 months earlier, I wrote about 15 things that I will do differently this year, and I think I am faring rather okay against that checklist. I have definitely clocked in a lot more sleep, take things a lot slower, do less gorging and more proper eating and scrutinising what really goes into my mouth. I try to exercise whenever I can, and the family clocks in at least a day of outdoor activity each week so that we don’t coop up in the house or roam the malls that…

The day I met a kind soul.
Kind acts are a little underrated in Singapore. There are kind souls around and I have witnessed quite a few of them. It is just that they aren’t as amplified as the negative ones commonly seen on social media today. Today, a kind stranger that really, really made my day. So, 4 months ago, I posted this picture on my Instagram of me wearing my mi band (a fitness tracking device worn on the wrist). I am not a fitness buff. I just have the habit of tracking and knowing how much I walk daily, and it does soothes me to know that I do clock in at least the recommended…

My Day in a Life Post – It’s Monday!
Happy Monday! Today, I am going to share with you a snapshot of my entire day from morning till dawn, down to the minute details so you can too, can be a part of my very real everyday life. This particular day that I am recording here is last Monday, 20 April 2015. So enjoy! 6.45am: The alarm clock rings and I hit the snooze button. Today, I am feeling very tired because I slept at 2am the night before, doing chores around the house putting away mess while the boys are asleep. I snuggle close to Jerome (he sleeps between the husband and me) and take in his smell…

5 Reasons to Travel Without Your Kids.
I thought I’ll blog on this topic since I just returned from a vacation, without the kids. I went on my own and I am here to tell you why it is a great idea, as a parent to clock in some travel WITHOUT the kids. Am I guilt free for leaving the kids behind? Maybe not entirely. Was I happy to be away? YOU BET. I know of way too many parents who never travelled without their kids. In fact, on the trip that I was on, one of my travel companions was leaving her kids behind for the first. time. ever. Her kids are (I think) 6yo &…
