In conjunction with our son, Buddy's first cycling race at the upcoming OCBC Cycle 2018, we are happy to share tips on how we choose a good bike for our children. A Safe Bike There are tons of bikes out there for kids, even hyper-marts sell bicycles these days. Pretty and cute designs are popular with kids but often do not make for good and safe bikes. How then do you know if the bikes are safe? Here’s what I would look out for: The Seat: This is where the weight of the … [Read more...]

{Flash Giveaway} Win a Faber Licence Membership
Unlimited Cable Car Rides and more Taking the cable car is one of the most unique experiences one can have in Singapore, even for locals.

Better still, one can enhance the experience there by dining at one of the two restaurants (Spuds & Aprons and DUSK), savouring some fine cuisine while watching … [Read more...]
Evita In Singapore 2018: A Review
‘Evita? In Singapore?’ I raised my eyebrows when I first caught sight of the advert last year. ‘This would truly be a first’ I thought, and in many ways it is. After all, this is not your typical Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that would usually land on Singapore shores. There’s no dramatic love story with a sweeping score (Phantom of the Opera), no colorful dances and jig-worthy tunes (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat) nor are there any make-believe animals (CATS) or one with … [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 … [Read more...]

OCBC Cycle 2017: Defining Moment for Daddy and Daughter
I’ve always believed that we need to expose our children to outdoor activities that develop their gross motor skills and confidence to master new sports. It’s important to start young when their physiques are smaller and their CG (Center of Gravity) lower. Their mindsets are also much more malleable, making them more receptive to learning new skills. As soon as my daughter became physically independent at 3 yrs old – being able to walk, run and jump confidently, we have started introducing … [Read more...]
The Sound of Music: Singapore Tour 2017
Let me begin first, by saying this is not the 1st time I am watching The Sound of Music Musical LIVE but I’ve never remembered it being so spectacular. There were so many aspects of the show which moved me – the cast, the singing, the LIVE orchestra and my 9 year old daughter singing along to the memorable tunes of Sound of Music which we are all so familiar with. The leads, Carmen Pretorius (Maria) and Nicholas Maude (Captain von Trapp) performed their iconic roles with palpable onstage … [Read more...]
