‘Wow! Wow! Wow!’ This and the fact that I couldn’t close my mouth even if I wanted to were the two constant reactions to every single acts in TOTEM, Cirque Du Soleil’s brand new show which is now on Singapore’s shores. Judging from the thunderous claps reverberating all around the Grand Chapiteau (the iconic Blue and Yellow Big Top), I can safely say, I’m not alone. After all, this is the world’s most famous circus and the largest theatrical producer in the world. Based in Montreal … [Read more...]
Colour You Happy RICE Bento Workshop
When I received the invitation to attend an exclusive Bento-making session with Little Miss Bento and RICE, my interest was piqued immediately.

Singin’ in the Rain – Toe-tapping, Splish-splashing, Side-splitting Musical!
Like most, what comes to mind when we hear of 'Singin’ in the Rain' is the iconic scene of screen legend Gene Kelly totally soaked and dancing in the rain to the infectious title tune but beyond that, we've only got scant impressions of what the musical is about. But after last night, I’m happy to say that for this seasoned musical-going family, not anymore. Most musicals that have graced the stage of the MasterCard Theatres at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore have reputations that preceded them, … [Read more...]
Mothers’ Day Blocking Printing Workshop at Fox Fashion
The Mothers' Day Weekend was also my Birthday weekend. It kicked off to a great start when we attended the Block Printing Workshop organised by Fox Fashion in collaboration with Fictive Fingers. As Mothers, we don't expect gifts of any kind but a handcrafted gift warms the heart like none other.
