That Mom Of Four

Learning to ride a bike for me meant getting scrapped knees and a booboo here and there. This was what I used to think, until my kids learnt to ride on the bicycle with Biking Singapore within just one lesson! They had 2 lessons each but by the end of the second lesson, they were confident riders, and I was one happy mom. We even bought new bikes for them right after they graduated from the 2-days course so that we can bike around as a family!

A little more about Biking Singapore Starting from the love for exploring cities around the world on bike, Biking Singapore does not just provide cycling lessons for individuals of various ages. They actually provide local bike tours and mobile bike rentals for those seeking to explore Si...

Ever since Nykki turned 4, I’ve been planning to send her for English enrichment classes so she can further cultivate her love for reading and writing just like her older sisters. I always believe that being able to speak and write is a basic, but to do it well can help one express themselves and communicate even better with others.   Nykki has always loved drama thanks to her sisters who created her own series of videos called The Nykki Show and this little munchkin has embraced public speaking from that moment on. As a parent I know that she has a love for sharing stories from her wild imagination and I’m more than happy to support her in developing this interest.   This is why I’m so glad that we managed to get a spot for Nykki to attend the British Council enrichment programme.   The British Council in Singapore Building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language is wha...

I always tell my students “change takes time, and the patience and wait is worth it”. This line also applies with the Sculptra treatment that I did at Halley Medica l   Aesthetic s with Dr. Terence Tan . Unlike several other types of treatment like hyaluronic acid fillers which are used to fill up a localized area of treatment, Sculptra stimulates our skin to generate its own collagen for more natural and healthy-looking skin. With the use of poly-l-lactic (PLLA), this treatment gives a more long-lasting volumizing effect and is ideal for those who prefer letting the body generate its own collagen naturally. I embrace aging, but I also intend to do it with less lines and droopy skin. Haha. I did the first Sculptra at Halley Medical Aesthetics and really appreciated how quickly and efficiently it was carried out. The second treatment was no different except that I was able to compare the difference and improvements from before I started the treatment as it does take time for the ...

It's hard not to be surprised and smile when you're presented with a bouquet of blooms. And if its a beautiful bouquet, you'd probably be like me and just stop to smell or appreciate the perfection of the flowers in it. Now on the contrary.... if you were presented with flowers that are blemished and wilted, it could in fact bring your mood down south or cause you to feel sad. This is why the quality of the blooms from the florist is so important, but some key things that define a great florist apart from the quality of their blooms and presentation is their reliability and timeliness of their deliveries. I recently received this gorgeous Surprise Bouquet from Farm Florist which brightened up my day and of course my home and deep inside I was so appreciative of the effort that was put in to ensure that these fresh flowers were delivered to me in the perfect condition which they were. Every Rose was just perfect and blemish-free and I knew that the florist must have made su...

The thing about good seafood is the freshness and preparation to best bring out the flavour of the dish. And our home delivered meal with 8 Crabs did not disappoint! Having won several awards and features on The Straits Times, Zaobao, Eatbook and The Vulcan Post, their best-selling crab dishes are a must-try and you can expect big and meaty Sri-Lankan crabs with no hollow shells or crumbly meat. I actually ordered for the home delivery via their website here  . [caption id="attachment_1847" align="alignnone" width="500"] Chilli Crabs from 8 Crabs.

The crabs prepared by 8 Crabs are Sri Lankan sourced wild catch crabs, which is why: they are Bigger, Meatier and Tastier. there is no ammonia smell or taste cooked from Live Crabs only, dead crabs are strictly discarded Free from harmful substances In fact, consuming crabs that smell like ammonia can be harmful ...

Some things are as certain as death and taxes..... like ageing (cue the heavy sigh). As much as I exercise and hang upside down (from my hammock) and try my best to eat well to support healthy skin, I can't help but notice how some parts of my face just seems to lose some volume. And this is largely due to the ageing of the body, gravity and bone resorption. In particular the area around my temples and cheeks just seems a little more sunken and no its not because I lost weight because when I compare it to pictures taken 12 years ago when I actually weighed less than I do now, I can see the difference. My recent visit to Halley Medical Aesthetics to speak with Doctor Terence Tan about Sculptra as a solution to my concern was highly informative and it was just the answer to what I was looking for to help my body generate its own collagen.
