BALIKSG App: Experience Singapore’s Past with AR
Go Back to Singapore’s Past through Augmented Reality (AR) App Children these days know more about coding than Singapore’s history. Instead of solely relying on subjects like Social Studies and History to teach them about Singapore's heritage, we feel more can be done to help our youths appreciate Singapore’s past. One clever approach is to integrate kids’ natural affinity with technology with Singapore's short but rich history. Where we can step into the past and watch History … [Read more...]
5 Reasons Why We Love the Safari Zoo Run
“Come on, hurry Children, let’s go!” I hollered at the kids at the end of our run when the good folks at the venue were starting to pack up. Yes, the kids were reluctant to leave even as the midday sun beat down on us after having completed 2019’s Safari Zoo Run! Despite a one-year gap (last year I was recuperating from my cancer op), the Safari Zoo Run is still our family’s favorite family sports event which we support annually. Here are the reasons: 3 in 1: The family run brought … [Read more...]
All About The Junior Sports Academy (JSA)
Many Interests, Limited Resources One of the struggles as parents of Primary school going children is helping our children balance their time between school work, enrichment, hobbies, CCAs and personal recreation. It didn’t help also that our daughter is a very sporty, outdoorsy girl who seems to take onto ANY sports like fish to water. In fact, at Primary 1, she was handpicked TWICE to join the school gym team but due to the intense commitment required (3 hours of training 3 times … [Read more...]
A Celebration of Life – Skechers Friendship Walk
When I opened up to share news of my cancer, friends, family and even faithful readers whom I've have never met, started to pour in prayers and encouragement. Some even gone the extra mile to send me tangible well wishes in the form of flowers, cupcakes, organic food, scented candles, biblical journals etc. My colleagues also threw me a surprise ‘Get-Well-Soon’ lunch the day before my op. Unbeknown to them; these acts of love, however tiny or insignificant they may seem, were life-giving. As the … [Read more...]
Parenting in the Digital Age: Tips to Manage Screen Time at Home
Like many parents, my husband and I are constantly confronted with the issue of screen time for kids, specifically how to manage and limit their level of exposure. Even more disturbing is that we see the growing trend of young children, some barely 10 years of age, struggling with screen addiction and parents who seem helpless and desperately seeking measures to curb their kids' screen addiction. Source Here to Stay Just like how the ‘idiot box’ of our parents’ and grandparents' … [Read more...]
BUDS by Shangri-La, Singapore
Another Hotel ‘Kids’ Club’? No. Far from it. Buds by Shangri-La Hotel Singapore sets the benchmark. We are no strangers to hotels with Kids Club facilities. Although we love travelling with our kids, like many parents, there are moments we crave for some private time or just 1 quiet meal together. This is why hotels with Kids’ Club appeal to us. For many hotels though, the idea of a Kids Club is confining kids to a room filled with lego bricks, board games, a video console, a … [Read more...]
Kids’ Swim Class at The Swimming Room
Starting Young…Starting Fearless As parents, we’ve always believed in exposing our kids to a plethora of experiences. When they are younger, malleable and more flexible, it is far easier to teach them new skills. One of the skills we hope to ‘ignite’ in our kids is their innate ability to balance and float, both of which can be learnt through swimming. Our little Buddy is naturally cautious by nature. However seeing how his elder sis loves to cycle, blade, swim and ski, he himself is keen … [Read more...]

Singapore Street Art – Haji Lane
Exciting. Evolving. Eclectic. Singapore is a global city that is constantly evolving. The Singapore which our kids will grow up in will be vastly different from that which we grew up in. Though we still hold on to traditional values and customs, the way each generation expresses themselves differs. One very obvious evidence of our 'evolvement' is the local art scene. Specifically, Singapore's street art. We are no strangers to Singapore’s prominent street art, having met one of the … [Read more...]
