BALIKSG App: Experience Singapore’s Past with AR

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 e … [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 w … [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.

Source Here to Stay Just like how the ‘idiot box’ of our parents’ and grandparents' gener … [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 t … [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 a … [Read more...]
