An apt song now that it's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas with malls decked in Christmas lights, carols and festive decoration, all mighty eager to cash in on the yuletide season.

To Teachers with Love…
Dana came home from school last week and excitedly reminded me that we need to get gifts for Teachers' Day.

I involved Dana in the preparation of these homemade Double Berries Jams - from dicing the fruits, stirring them continuously to bring to a boil, to placing the finishing touch by sticking the gift tags on. We hope that as the teachers relish the jams (with bread, scones, waffles or … [Read more...]

What National Day means to me…
As a young Singaporean growing up, I saw how my Mom toiled to put food on the table and to fend for the family. I saw how not everyone was born with a silver spoon in our mouths but I experienced first hand the redeeming grace of meritocracy in bridging the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots'. I who had so little to start with now lead a contented life with no lack (yes contentment is a choice and an invaluable virtue) but the reality is, most Singaporeans have a comfortable roof over … [Read more...]
Our favourite sights every National Day…
How do you teach and nurture loyalty? Like all values, they're caught and not taught. Every year, we make it a family affair to catch the National Day Fireworks...hoping the little one will 'catch' the patriotism of being a Singaporean...Most years, it involves 'camping' outdoors at good vantage points hours before the actual fireworks display; once we splurged on a National Day stay-cation (at Ritz Carlton no less!) to soak in the atmosphere with the extended family. As you can see, National … [Read more...]
