The Christmas tree is up, with it, our favourite Christmas carols plays in the background and an atmosphere of peace and joy fills the air. It is an annual tradition for us to put up the tree to usher in our favourite month of the year and we rope in Dana to dress it up with ornaments, many of which Daddy and I accumulated from our travels around the world. Today, we'll show you a few of our fav things around the home during Christmas.A pair of wooden clogs from Amsterdam, HollandA small … [Read more...]
Count down to Christmas with DIY Advent Ornaments!
It was pouring cats and dogs yesterday evening. Daddy had a report to complete; Mommy had to edit the photos taken at LEGOLAND so Dana enjoyed a special movie treat, watching a Charlie and Lola DVD which we had loaned from the National Library. After an episode on 'How Many More Minutes Until Christmas', she came and requested if we can make an Advent Calendar together. In all our years of existence, we've never had an Advent Calendar but being the loving Mom that I am (*erhem*), I hastily … [Read more...]

The Origins of our Love…
I'm listening to Taylor Swift's You Belong with Me as I typed this post to get myself in the mood to share our love story. Many of our friends are surprised that David and I have been wed 13 years, 'That long!?" they usually remarked. Over the years, our love has mellowed into a deep, mutual commitment and affection for each other. We have grown to become the indispensable companion and soul-mate which God has designed husbands and wives to be... Our love story started *er-hem* in the … [Read more...]
Wordless Wednesday: Singapore, my Home

Motivational Monday: In love with Fireworks
Photo Credit: Kenny Teo Last Saturday evening, Daddy brought Dana and I out for a spin and we ended up at One Fullerton for dinner. The food was appetizing but the real bonus was that it being the last few Saturdays leading up to our Nations' 47th Birthday, there was NDP rehearsals going on at the nearby Marina Bay Floating Platform. We were excited to be treated to a visual feast right where we dined! At exactly 8pm, after the National Enthem, the … [Read more...]

Dana’s 1st School Concert! :)
On 24 Nov, Dana made a debut at her pre-school's year end concert. Being her very 1st concert 'appearance', it was no doubt a BIG milestone for her and a much awaited event for us. Prior to the concert, parents were kept in suspense so the hall was filled with anxious parents who came early, armed with their digital cameras, DSLRs and viewcams (us included). The concert was to start at 5pm with the toddler's item scheduled as the last. We were worried that Dana … [Read more...]
