Ever feel like you can’t get moving and everything is sooooo overwhelming? Yeah. That’s me, right now. And I usually get it after a long break. It’s like the engine died and can’t be revived. And the longer the engine is dormant, the more effort it take to get it up and moving again. That’s […] Read more…
Cooking for a large family
When either dh or I go grocery shopping, we obviously buy a lot. We fill up either the NTUC supermarket trolley or our own large trolley the brim. The wet market sellers know me and no longer bat an eye at my huge orders. But recently at the wet market, while I was placing my […] Read more…
Sitting down all by myself
If you are a mom of of young children, you would know that to be able to just sit down all by yourself and not get up every 10 minutes or so or have someone drape themselves all over you is a luxury, right? 😉 And so this past Saturday morning I got to do […] Read more…
What to make of it?!
If you have followed my blog in the past 2 years, you would have at some point or another read about our battle against allergies, mostly in the form of eczema rashes and the failure and success we have had with various creams, treatments and diets. Some of us also battle with congested nasal passages. It […] Read more…
Family Vacation 2014
For our family vacation this year, we decided to go back to Club Med Bintan, Indonesia. This is mostly because of the wonderful spread of food and the wide range of activities available at the resort. These are important deciding factors for us since we need to cater to a wide range of ages: 5 to 16 this year and a wide range of preferences. Read more…
Myopia
Next to allergies, myopia is the other highly disliked affliction that plagues our family. And today, another child has been diagnosed with shortsightedness. That makes it 6 out of 7. Sigh. I would like to share our journey and perhaps help those who are facing this affliction have another option to consider when deciding what […] Read more…
Be faithful in fulfilling God’s Assignment for you
God speaks in various ways and at various times. Always, when I am seeking Him (yes, even when He is silent, He is “speaking” to me) but also when I am not. And today, He spoke while I was spacing out in the shower after a very long 5-day stretch of waking up at 6am and […] Read more…
Keeping our perspectives right
As we approach the start of the written papers for PSLE* (oral exams started in August), I can feel the rise of tension, especially this time round as I got to know more mothers whose children are also taking PSLE with our 3rd child. The previous two times I was rather oblivious to the tension as only […] Read more…

PSLE Round 3
PSLE Round 3. While academics isn’t everything, it is important to our family. I ain’t no tiger mom but if you can get 100 in an exam and scored only 80 then you have done yourself a disservice. You have wasted your potential. But if your best is a 60 and you got 55, that’s a fantastic job! So that’s where I am coming from. Do your best. Read more…
