Not many people knew I took Literature all the way up to University. For my GCE 'O' Level Literature text, it was none other than Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. So when I heard that Singapore Repertory Theatre is presenting Romeo & Juliet in this year's 'Shakespeare in the Park' series, I was stoked. I was even more pleased when I saw that the young lovers will be portrayed by Thomas Pang (Tribes) and our favourite Cheryl Tan (from Beauty World, Three Billy Goats … [Read more...]

Chingay 2016 – The Jewel of our Multicultural Celebration
If there’s one community event that was memorable for us in SG50, it was Chingay 2015. So it is with great excitement when we knew we were invited to be part of Chingay 2016 again. Well, our expectations were surpassed in every way. Chingay 2016 is bigger, better with not one but a few fiery dragons to boot. There is even a huge 'balloon' dragon ‘gliding’ gracefully through the air and interacting with the crowds seating on the spectator stands at the F1 pit building. Chingay is not only … [Read more...]
The Singapore Airshow 2016: Where dreams take flight
You know what they say about having to involve a whole village to raise a child? Well…hold on to that thought.

Judging from what we saw at the preview hosted by our very own RSAF (Republic of Singapore Air Force), that promise is certainly a reality.

Going Local with Le Creuset: Fish Maw Soup
During the December school holidays, the husband and I challenged ourselves to cook yet another heritage dish which we can serve our guests when they visit. Fish Maw Soup is one of our favourite but we only get it to eat it on special occasions. Ever since our Bangkok trip where we tasted the Fish Maw Soup from Ping's Teochew Restaurant, we had been thinking how awesome it would be if we can master this dish for the upcoming Chinese New Year. With a good recipe in hand, we went about … [Read more...]
The Year in a Snap…with Orange Studios
Snap…and we’re done! I was moved when I saw the photos while sitting in the comfortable viewing room of Orange Studios. While watching the slideshow put together for our family by Ryan the photographer and his wife Winnie, I can’t help but to breathe a sigh of relief and pause. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFbFKkTa0oE It's ironic that even though I’ve shot thousands of photographs this year, I could rarely capture a good one of the family. It was made challenging as our little … [Read more...]
A bit of floral magic at Christmas…with Poppy Flora Studio
I've always enjoyed flowers - both receiving and giving them. We've recently just moved to a new residence so I had this secret wish that somehow, somewhere I could buy (or better still, make my own) fresh floral wreath to adorn the home for the festive season. Well, Santa must have heard my wish and granted me an invite to Poppy's Christmas Wreath Workshop! Poppy Floral Studio is not new to us. David and I used to buy flowers from them when they were still in our … [Read more...]
National Gallery Singapore – Keppel Center for Art Education
The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer One consistent thing about the many great cities we have been to (such as New York, Boston, London and Tokyo) is that despite being prominent economic and political power houses, these cities do not neglect their children. In fact, they devote precious resources to nurture their young particularly in the area of the arts and sciences where their curiosity can be stoked and creativity … [Read more...]
