A simple mum who believes in giving her children the ability to enjoy simple things in life…
Over the weekends, I was honoured to be invited by Canon Singapore to learn photography tips from Bob Lee 李欣赏. No, I am not obliged to blog about this. But, I want to! Because I was so touched by how real Bob is, and how he chooses to quit his job to bring his son (who is autistic) everywhere to the park to let him fluorish on his own with nature, the thought of this Continue reading “The ABCDEs of Parenting and Photography Tips by Bob Lee”
It is the first school holiday which will see both my school-going kids stay home together for an entire month. I have never done up an activity list for the school holidays. And since I am researching for activities to occupy their time, I might as well consolidate my finds here. (Most of the images have links to more information, remember to click on them.) Hope this is useful to many parents out there. And if you do have interesting ones, I would love you to tell me in the comments and I will add to the list! Good things have to be shared! 🙂
When: 24 May – 29 June
Happening at: Various Museums, click here.
Ticketing: Free for Singaporeans and PR

It’s my 9th Mother’s Day celebration for remembering I am a mum. To be frank, I have never thought of it as a celebration for me. Maybe I am still feeling like a little girl in my heart and the “girl girl” to my dad and mum. So, each Mother’s Day, I see it as a day of significance to let my mum know that she has a place deep in our hearts. Continue reading “Happy Mother’s Day, Mama! 献给妈妈的信”
Ever since I became a mum 9 years ago, everything that I used to indulge in, hobbies, TV, even books took a back seat. My priorities change. My own life is less important than my children’s lives. I seem to have many things that I want to do that are not fulfilled at the moment. I wonder how life will be if I am able to pursue these unfulfilled wishes under a wholly different situation. A situation of delayed parenthood. A situation of pursuing my wish lists at the expense of lesser time with the kids. Will I then be happier than I am right now?

How many mums-to-be have decided on giving up breastfeeding even before their babies were born? From my circle of mum friends, all of them would say they will try it out. I think most mums will want to provide the best for their babies and will try their best even if it is for 1, 2 days. I have never, for one split second, doubt I would not carry out the nature’s call for a mum to nurse her baby. My mum had done it, 3 times in her life and she had never mentioned that she had problems. It just seemed so natural to her. So, naturally I should do it too. On the day my first little darling was born, I know she’s a born “sucker”, oh no, I mean “suckler”, although she needed some guidance. For me? I needed only one BIG thing, no, not the BIG BOOBS, but starting with the letter P, “PATIENCE”. Continue reading “Why I breastfed for 9 months…”
