Review of A Peter Rabbit Tale
SRT’s productions have always been exceptional. But since it has been a few months since we last watched a SRT production, I have forgotten how good they are (blame it on Mommy brain!). This weekend while solo parenting, I decided to bring the kids to watch ‘A Peter Rabbit Tale' by SRT’s The Little Company. To be honest, neither my kids nor I have read the original Peter Rabbit’s Tale and I only know the plot vaguely from the media release. However, after watching, I would rate the play … [Read more...]

Gillman Barracks – Where Families get Enriched, Engaged and Entertained!
‘What do we do with the kids?’ ‘How will they be properly engaged?’ ‘How do we find time for each another?’ Being parents of two lively young kids, we often lament that come weekends and school holidays, we need to find ways to occupy the kids as well as find time for ourselves.

Fortunately, this March school holidays, Gillman … [Read more...]
Ki Niseko Hotel Review

I was even more relieved when help in the form of 2 ladies and a man, impeccably dressed in uniform, came forward even before my car was parked, … [Read more...]
