In all our travels, we have never had a vacation that kept us talking months after we've returned. In 2012, when we had our first Club Med experience, the sight of the Resort’s Chief of Village, Mr. Michael Clarke and his team waving us farewell as the facade of Club Med Bintan faded into the Bintan Island shrubbery is something I will always remember. So, when we were invited to experience Club Med again last month, this time on an island we love and know so well (Bali), we instantly put … [Read more...]
Fox Wishes You a Happy Chinese New Year!
We spent a most enjoyable morning at Fox Fashion's Media Preview last Saturday where kids were treated to a session of Chinese cultural immersion. Led by the capable instructors from Confucius Institute, they were given a brief introduction to the art of writing Chinese poetic couplets (对联). After being taught the basics of Chinese Calligraphy, the kids were eager to start writing their own names. They then each wrote an auspicious couplet for their home to usher in the Chinese New Year. It was … [Read more...]

Eco-friendly CNY Shopping at Itsy Bitsy ME!
Chinese New Year is a festival of memories. As a child, I remember how my auntie would bring us to departmental stores to buy new outfits. I will also diligently help my Mum spring-clean the home. Growing up in a single-parent home, we were not affluent so our CNY preps were kept simple: one new set of bedsheets and PJs for my sister and I, a new set of curtains for the home (which I bought from Ikea with my own savings) and a few mandatory CNY snacks. Now that I'm a working Mom (with … [Read more...]

A Yule Log for the Yuletide Season – Emicakes Log Cakes
Among the commercialized practices that we have come to associate Christmas with, the eating of log cakes is something bakeries and hotels capitalise on. One evening after dinner, Dana asked why do we eat log cakes at Christmas, we were hard-pressed for an answer. Thankfully, Mr. Google came to our rescue and this is what he says: Log Cakes or 'Yule Logs' (as they were traditionally known) date back to a pagan custom in the Middle Ages (5th to 15th Century), when a large log (usually trimmed … [Read more...]
Christmas Shopping made easy with Stuck on You!
Among the most common gripes I’ve heard from parents is how often their school-going children are misplacing or losing their personal belongings. From pencils, crayons, textbooks, to wallets, water bottles, school P.E t-shirts (or shorts) and even spectacles. Those well-meaning friends who have learned this the hard way have advised me not to buy stationeries that are too expensive and to label all of Dana’s belongings when she starts her Primary One education next month. Being a mild OCD … [Read more...]
