Pats on our backs
He burst through the door and shoved his saliva-polished prefect badge and overly long tie to us and exclaimed, “I am officially a PREFECT!” and he will also be leading the school in pledge taking during the morning assemblies.

YH had countless achievements. I recalled vividly our pride when YH was selected to be the lead [...]
Lime Light
I had written a couple of articles for parenting magazine over the years. This time round, my boys and I were featured in Young Parents (January 2010).
I really love the picture. The photo shoot was done last November at Singapore Press Holdings (SPH). The shoots captured the fun they had!
Speaking of the boys – They [...]
Mid Year Results
As usual I greeted Hang at the door when he came home from school. I could tell from the instant if my boy had a good or a bad day in school as it would be written all over his face.
He got his mid-year results.
2nd in Class.
Devastated was an understatement to describe how he felt! [...]
Manicure Pedicure
Its a challenge trimming active toddler’s nails. But little ones can enjoy this exclusive service in our home saloon where they are made to sit in little baskets for a luxurious session of classic manicure and pedicure.
I cut my Hair!
Xiang’s sudden [hidden] inspiration to be a stylist. Indeed, he made a statment with his cool hair cut using a humble craft scissors!

But this year was different.
Every strand of hair was in place. Nails manicured and polished. Dressed in a pink china doll dress with matching stilettos and a pair of elegant diamond earrings, I walked down [...]
Boys! Eat properly
We’ve been trying not to grow overly reliant on our domestic help. After all, these are our children and its really sad if we have to say we could not handle them without the help of our maid.
Thus for family outings on weekends, Lilik could take the time off for herself. Of course, on numerous [...]
Luxury of Time
Moments like this just slipped by if we could not find the time to capture them in our hearts, in our mind. Parenting needs the luxury of time.
Stand Up! problems@work p4
Last week, my sis was fuming mad when she came back from swimming with the boys. Some children teased Hang repeatedly at the pool, calling him an Alien! She gave them a piece of her mind.
Since young, we’ve told Hang to ignore such comments. However, my sis felt that Hang should stand up for his rights [...]
