A man was appreciating the art at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC. As he approached each painting, he would kneel down and look up at it. A curious visitor asked him why he was looking at the paintings from his knees. He replied, “I am an elementary school teacher and I will bring my students here tomorrow. I was wondering how my students would enjoy the paintings from a student’s eye level.”What a powerful true story of a teacher who's willing to go the distance for his students and the … [Read more...]

Where there is Barilla, there is Home
In our household, pasta is our favourite staple...Yup, we love it more than rice. More often than not, we end up eating Italian more than Chinese when we feel like a good treat. So when the good folks at Barilla sent us a media invite for an exclusive master chef cooking class with Italian Chef Luca, I said yes immediately. Not many people know that I feel somewhat ashamed that as a wife and Mom, my pasta cooking is mediocre at best. I mean, what's so difficult in cooking pasta right? … [Read more...]

Right in the heart, Right from the heart – The Grand Park City Hall Hotel
Singapore has no shortage of hotels. From our world-famous Orchard shopping belt to the bustling city centre, travellers are spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation. As avid travellers who have stayed in budget hotels (in ulu Malaysian town of Setiawan) to posh, high end ones (like The 'W', Ritz Carlton and Mandarin Oriental), luxury to us is more than plush bathrobes, high thread count bedding or opulent interiors. True luxury is when we are treated more than mere paying guests but as … [Read more...]
Savour Peony Jade’s Award-Winning Mooncakes 2014
My early memories of the Mid-Autumn Festival 中秋節 are those spent in the neighbourhood park - parading our candle-lit paper (or celophane) lanterns, lighting up the parameters of the playground with small candles and gathering at my Grandma's home to enjoy pomelo and mooncakes while admiring the rounder, larger than usual moon. Though the festival carries no religious significance, we try to preserve the cultural tradition of lanterns and mooncakes in our family as part of our Chinese … [Read more...]

Philps Brings Disney Magic Right Into Your Rooms!
When Dana was an infant, one of the things I found surprisingly useful was, surprisingly, wasn't the stroller or baby cot but a night light.Like most first time parents, armed with checklist of baby items, we shopped every weekend to prepare for the arrival of the newborn. Stroller, cot, sheets, mobile, diaper station, baby carrier and the list go on. One item which wasn't quite on the list which we discovered by chance to be ever so useful in darker moments (both literally and … [Read more...]
Channel your Blessings through Blessings & Co
Being Asians, we like to commemorate family milestones with gifts of significance. For example, it's traditional Chinese customs for the groom's family to present the bride with 4 pieces of gold jewellery as dowry before the wedding. Many grandparents also like to bestow gifts of gold bangles or anklets for their newborn grandchildren on the full month. However, not every occasion warrant such elaborate gift-giving. There are good alternatives that do not compromise on the … [Read more...]
