I just turned 43 and honestly, I approached it with some reservations. You see, my Dad passed away at 44 years old (when I was only 13) and that has impacted my life tremendously. Since the day I passed my 40th, I’ve been very keenly aware of my own mortality and along with that, the compulsion to leave a legacy, to make a difference, has been increasing.On my birthday last week, Angie arranged a surprise visit to one of the world’s most iconic photographers, Annie Leibovitz’s exhibition. As … [Read more...]

Check in Early to check out these Surprises at Changi Airport
While family holidays typically are relaxing and enjoyable, we all know that there are some unplanned hiccups that can upset the trip. Sometimes, despite all your careful planning, an unfortunate traffic jam en route or an unusually large crowd at the check-in counter could really set your nerves on the edge. Therefore whenever we go for holidays, we try to reach the airport early rather than just on time. But how early can we check-in? Once we checked-in, what’s there to do? Recently, we … [Read more...]
Counting down to the official opening of KidZania Singapore!
Ever since we visited BabyBoss in Taiwan 2 years ago, the entire family (yes we parents included) has been anamoured with this concept of 'experiential' learning through the role-play of realistic occupations. So we couldn't be happier when we heard the announcement that KidZania will be opening in Singapore in 2015 at Palawan Beach (right opposite Port of Lost Wonder)! Like KidZania KL which Dana enjoyed tremendously, KidZania Singapore will provide a kid-centric experience to educate and … [Read more...]
GREASE is still THE word for rockin and rollin good times
Couple times for us are important but rare. We’ve never been comfortable leaving the daughter in the care of others for too long a time due to accountability and risk issues. Hence, we have to be very selective in the dates we go on. One of those ‘fail-proof’ couple dates that we will never say no to is that of watching live musicals together.Now on at the MBS Grand Theatre till 18 May!When we heard that GREASE – the musical is making its comeback to Singapore, we were psyched. Having been a … [Read more...]

Ocean Dreams at S.E.A. Aquarium – More than Just a Dream!
One of the things that is high on our to do list to bring Dana on a camping trip...Daddy has imagined it to be one where we would pitch a tent, eat BBQ food, sing some camping songs etc…all under the stars. However for reasons that Dana's still quite young and also for safety, we haven’t quite got around to even planning for one yet. That was until recently when the RWS S.E.A. Aquarium presented the opportunity to experience their Ocean Dreams Programme, which offers a … [Read more...]
How to Catch A Star – A Brand New Play by Blunderbus
There's something about stars that is so mesmerizing. When we were touring Taiwan in June, an aboriginal guide brought us to a deserted plateau on the mountain top one clear winter's night to star gaze and it was one magical experience we would never forget. As we stood there huddling for warmth in the chilly sub zero temp, the stars were dancing brightly in splendid display of God's magnificent creations. Whatever we have read about star constellations - Orion … [Read more...]
Rapunzel – Renewed, Refreshed and what a Riot!
SRT's The Little Company's 'Rapunzel' is an exceptionally well put-together musical play for young audience and families. We watched it on Saturday and loved it.From March 14 to April 30, 2014The plot is easy to follow and keeps kids riveted to their seats. Dialogues are engaging and not excessive, pitched to cater to kids' short attention spans. It starts with a teenaged Rapunzel's imprisonment in the tower instead of retelling it traditionally from the time Rapunzel was a newborn … [Read more...]
