To Australia and Back: Drive up the Pacific Coast
This is the second leg of our journey from Sydney to Brisbane. Along the way, we stopped at Newcastle, Port Macquarie, Coff’s Harbour and Gold Coast (of course). We decided to give Byron Bay a skip this time around because we needed to get to Brissy by an appointed day. But if you’re in the…
The heart of a father…
This week we’ve been speaking about fathers and the special place they have in our hearts. In fact, I ran a search on the internet and came across this: “Any man can be a father, but it takes a special person to be a dad”. Rightly said. Born in a family of three uniquely vivacious girls,…

To Australia and Back: Sydney & the Blue Mountains
Truth is, I miss Australia. Having spent a good three years there in Brisbane as a student, I must confess that I really miss the idyllic places and leisurely paces that have become a hallmark of life in the land of wandering wombats and crisp morning air. There are always uncrowded places to go over the weekends and…
My Favourite Things: Opera Stars
Photo credit: http://www.classicfm.com/artists/andrea-bocelli/ It’s not everyday that big opera stars like Andrea Bocelli and Sumi Jo grace the stages of Singapore. But over the last week or so I had the privilege and honour of being up close and personal to not one… but two of my favourite singers. It was my first time watching Andrea Bocelli. I mean… I knew…
My Favourite Things: Classical creativity
I’ve always thought that music has powerful effects on one’s mind, mood, memory and energy level. In fact, can you recall a time when a song actually stirred within you really strong emotions? Well, I’m a firm believer that good classical music (like those played on Symphony 92.4FM) not only soothes the soul, it can…
My Favourite Things: Scrapbooking and the Cricut Expression
Lunch was a little special today. Instead of the usual Mediacorp canteen food. I opted to scoot down to my favourite haunt – Junior de Artist, for a mid-day respite. Well, it’s a respite for me because it’s away from the usual humdrum. Junior de Artist is my favourite craft shop not only because it’s near my…
My Favourite Things: Living it up at Kim Robinson
First and foremost, allow me to congratulate all lucky winners of the $50 Kim Robinson vouchers. I’m very sure you’re going to have a fantabulous time at Kim Robinson’s! I know I did. Truth is, Kim Robinson is anything but your run-of-the-mill three-in-one coffee brewed out of convenience. Everything here is unabashedly swanky, like having to lift up your little pinky when sipping your devonshire tea. By the way, don’t…
My Favourite Things: Pine-ing for Dim Sum
There are some things in life you just can’t get enough of and dim sum is definitely one of them. I’ve always had a penchant for dim sum, partly because I enjoy eating fresh, succulent seafood and also because this is the only meal I know that comes neatly bundled in small packages. What’s even better is…
Thank you for the flowers…
Would like to thank everyone who drove by last Friday at the Dempsey Road carpark for our car decal giveaway despite the dismal weather. Especially heartwarming was two lovely ladies who gave me each a bunch of lovely flowers from Holland (you’ll see the photos down below). Shoes damp from the heavy rain, the icy cold…
