Some of you might have seen a tv ad done by Ronald McDonald House@NUH recently and spotted someone familiar *wink* For those who have no idea what I'm referring to, here is the ad: Many friends asked how I got approached to participate in the ad. My reply? Cos the people found me pretty, friendly, and talks a lot, so they approached me...
According to the National Dental Centre Singapore, a child should have his first dental check-up when he is between 6 to 12 months of age. This allows the dentist to prevent and anticipate problems rather than treat them. I have been wanting to bring L for his dental check-up since he was 2 years old. Blame it on my procrastination and plain laziness,...
It is our nation's birthday today! Singapore gained independence since 9th Aug 1965, and we have come so far as a nation. I'm proud to be a Singaporean, and feels especially so when I watch the NDP marching contingent segment. I look forward to the day L dons his SAF uniform and shaves his head to do his part for the National Service....

Is it when you see your child go astray due to bad values and influence? Or is it when you know your child is capable of achieving more, but he is...
A friend sent me this article which she found online. I'm sharing it with everyone as I see the great value in having a contract like this with your child. Many of my students, aged between 12 to 17, fall deeply into this trap. Even my own friends' children are not spared from this addiction! And they are not even teenagers yet! An...
Since K's birth, going to KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) has been a frequent affair for me. Sometimes, if she has two appointments in a day, I get to spend time with her while waiting. Shopping at my favourite places like Mothercare and having lunch - just the two of us - make the waiting time seemingly short. I also get to...
