I suppose if you follow the world’s rules and standards, we MUST be very rich in order to afford the 6, soon to be 7 children we have. The other assumption people have when they look at us is to assume that we have reaped a windfall from the Singapore government and they are quickly doing their […] Read more…
What Have I Learnt?
Just recently, it suddenly dawned upon me that I have been pregnant and nursing for 11 years, non-stop, since July 1997, except for a break of 4 months in 1999!!! Amazing! Praise be to God! The Lord was gracious to allow me to conceive our 1st born in July 1997. He was born in April 1998 […] Read more…
Myth #5 : I Don’t Ever Shout at the Children
Hahahahahahahaha! Do you see me gasping for breath, tears rolling down my face and holding my sides as I rolled on the floor laughing hysterically at this one? Not shout at the children – ever??? Oh my, oh dear….That would be a dream! 🙂 The fact that I stay home with the children should […] Read more…
Myth #4 : I am a disciplined/organised person
I may be slightly more organised than most people but I would hardly describe myself as organised or disciplined. I like things to be organised around me (chaos is very distracting) but that does not mean that I love to organise things or that it comes naturally to me. If left alone, I’d be too […] Read more…
Being Frugal – Groceries
Ever since we were featured on Sunday Times, many have asked how we keep our grocery bill to just $150/week. We used to be able to keep it down to $120/week till all the various food items rose in price. But do bear in mind it is an average. Some months are higher, some lower. […] Read more…

Myth #3 : I am very patient
or that I must love children…. Sadly, I have never been a patient person. Life would probably be a lot easier if I had been born one. And I never did like children too much. I didn’t hate them but I am one those rare women who does NOT go around cooing at babies or asking […] Read more…
Myth #2 : We are very spiritual
The Bible says : Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward Psalm 127:3 So those who have many children must be more spiritual that the rest, right? And that’s why we have been rewarded with many children? WRONG!!! I don’t think the bible infers that at […] Read more…
Myth #1 : I am a Superwoman
I need to get this out of the way coz I hear it a lot and it makes me really uncomfortable. I am not a superwoman. I am not a supermom. And, no, I don’t do it all nor do I try! Most times people look at the various roles I perform and conclude, mistakenly, that I […] Read more…
