As parents, we sometimes lament about how to prepare our children for the future when we ourselves are uncertain about what the future holds. Well, one thing for certain which the future will depend on would be the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, or STEM in short. In fact, look around us today and we’ll see that STEM is very much powering our daily lives - the way we work, play and communicate. One effective way to enthuse our children in STEM is by … [Read more...]
iFly Singapore – Anyone can Fly
We have walked past this place in Sentosa countless times since she was much younger and the iFly Indoor Skydiving building has always caught her imagination and fancy. But because she was below the age limit then, we told her to wait…until now. As part of her 8th birthday, we have arranged for our daughter, Dana to experience iFLY. To make it more meaningful and memorable, we invited two of her best friends along. As it was gonna be a new experience for us all, I wasn't too sure … [Read more...]
Singapore Heritage Murals: The ever-growing collection by Yip Yew Chong
We first met Yew Chong (Y.C) back last year during an impromptu visit to check out his murals at Everton Road. There he was, unassumingly painting and adding the finishing touches to the Barber mural at Everton Road, under the humid September sun. Take a sneak peek at his murals here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8XS9lN432Y Since meeting the artist himself, we’ve taken quite a liking to his murals. Not only are they exceptionally well-painted, his attention to details and the … [Read more...]
Blossom Beats at Gardens By The Bay
We were toying with the idea of booking a flight to Japan to witness the Cherry blossoms in April. However due to various reasons, the plan didn't materialise. When we received the Press Release that there will be a Cherry blossoms floral display at Gardens By The Bay, I couldn't be happier. My dream of experiencing 'Hanami' under the Sakuras in Japan may not be able to come true (yet) but hey, I am now able to see them in person, right here in Singapore! More than 20 … [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. The Singapore Airshow returns this year with displays and aerial showcases that promises to be bolder, better. 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. Even as we prepare ourselves to be impressed by the latest aerial acrobats and marvel at those magnificent flying machines the … [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...]
