If you ask me to choose between sleep and making wholesome breakfast in the morning, I would choose… sleep of cos! Even if it’s sneaking 5 extra minutes in bed, I’ll take it! For all working parents with school going kids would understand the mad rush every morning waking them up and prepping them for school. And then you also needed to get ready for work. Where got time to make wholesome breakfast right? (This is where one insert a tagline…) Really yummy breakfast made in Singapore. It tastes awesome and happens to be real good for you! (Ah yes! The ad girl in me still there… not!) That’s wha ..read more

When I saw the many postings in the past of others serving QO at a hotel, it seems like a good break and quite a decent experience. I mean, how bad can it be right - staying in a hotel room with food served daily and all the time in the world to do the things you want to do. It was something I thought I would one day pay to do so alone, just to recharge and reflect. Oh boy! I was so so wrong! QO at a hotel is nothing fancy nor an experience that I'll ever want to have, never again!  This is a recount of our quarantine order which we are still serving at this point of writing this post.

When the girls started pre-school, frequency of shopping for new clothes for them drops compared to before. And when they started Primary school, this mum have forgotten that they needed new clothes still for home wear and the weekends. It hit me one day that my girls needed new clothes when Zara walked out from shower looking super sexy in a mid drift top! I don't remember buying such sexy clothes for her! Buying clothes for my girls who are growing up in the 90% percentile, can be quite a challenge. They no longer fit into the kids category in most brands in store, and so I went rouge and bu ..read more

We love to play, and since COVID-19, when we were stuck at home, I've stocked up quite a lot of non-tech games - board games, card games, paper dolls etc, for play with the girls. One of the games we tried during Circuit Breaker was Ticket To Ride, the kids version. We've grown to play games together as a farm and when TUBER reached out to try out the to be launched board game, Fly-A-Way, well, it got us pretty stoked. Fly-A-Way (https://flyaway.sg/) is a competitive, family-friendly board game on bird migration for 2-4 players. Players take on the role of conservationists, helping bird ..read more

Life is the one thing we may think we can control if we plan well and coherently, but it really is the single most uncontrollable and uncertain element in our living days. This year, in twenty nineteen, when I thought life could never be any more challenging than what we were going through, another stressful and uncertain matters were thrown at me. Those months, even till today, are such a stressful time I thought I would never get out of the anxiety and pressure. Every day I live my days with a such a tight chest sometimes I felt I could never take another breath without passing out. In the ..read more

With goals set to keep me well, and to keep tap of my life and health, I started investing time and money into self-care. But I am with little discipline with routines to take care of myself. I resort to short-cuts. One of which is Multivitamins by Centrum. Many friends around me, especially the young ones (ahem you know who you are ah!), are indulging in whatever food and beverages they desire. The hardwo ..read more

Everyone knows the story of Aladdin and his magical lamp with a genie. But the Aladdin in Singapore now is a whole new world of fun and entertainment! Magical is the stage set, transforming through the performance bringing us into the world of Agrabrah.

This is also the most ..read more
