For this special month, I invite you to hear from my friends in the Down syndrome community in Singapore. Today, we have Ilyana on my blog to share...

Have you seen this short film that has been viewed 5,368,555 times on Facebook (data was taken on 21 Mar 2017 at 10:02 am my timezone)? The hilarious cover of a cat on a man's back with the words "A cat massage?" caught my attention after a few friends tagged me on Facebook. Watch it if you have not. It is one of the...

I wouldn't have known about this day - a day that is celebrated around the world to promote acceptance and awareness of individuals with Down Syndrome to the public, as...

Even though...
I've been wanting to write about K's experience on the ECMO as a record of her battles won at the PICU. Today, I found the motivation to do so. This is for you, Chiew Nee. Though we have not met before, the text exchanges make me feel like I've known you longer than the actual. Maybe it is because of the familiar worry...
