What’s In My Bag

I’ve been under a bit of a dry spell recently. No, I haven’t set foot out of Singapore since giving birth more than two months ago, so I’ve been assuaged by what seems to be the arrival of an early monsoon season along with everybody else here. It’s my brain that’s been feeling rather parched lately and » Read More

Back To School

We both (wife and myself) recently went back to school!  Michelle went back to school to get a course — a diploma in early childhood education.  A very brave decision!  And I went back to sending Sophie to school!  Both of us have been feeling nothing but tiredness and fatigue!  But I think my wife’s » Read More

We ride…(Tips on a pre-wedding shoot)

Ever noticed how couples in Singapore have to do a pre-wedding shoot before getting married? A lot of my friends from other countries pointed out that they only have a photographer on the actual day to capture precious moments. They found it interesting that here in Singapore we do a pre-wedding glamour shoot. (<——–that’s cause » Read More

It’s Written In The Stars

This week started on a high note! One of my good friends received news that she was pregnant following her frozen embryo transfer two weeks ago. I’m so happy for her and her husband and once AGAIN, for the upteenth time, wish them my heartiest congratulations. They truly deserve such happiness. As for me, I’ve never » Read More

Grandparents’ Week!

Cristan’s been revelling in tons of attention from his doting grandparents this week! Tim had to travel overseas for work the entire week, so I decided to stay over at my parents’ place for a couple of days.

Size matters!!!

In the process of getting my house in order, I realized something interesting…when I asked my friends if a 55-inch TV would be too big for my living room, I got differing replies from two camps of people. The first camp answered consistently: “oh no no no…why do u need such a big tv for? It’s » Read More

Much Ado About Naming

Everybody knows how Colette got her name. What not everyone knows is the meaning and origin of the name ‘Colette’ (yes, not even her own father – because he just asked me what it meant the other day) and her parents’ thought process behind choosing the best possible name for their first born.

Say cheese!

Taking photos of babies is hard work! Babies just don’t “get” cameras, I suppose. Which is fine when you want to take some fun pictures now and then. Even so, you’ll need to take quite a few just to get one or two that’s not blurred, because babies tend to move quite a bit and won’t » Read More

Just the Two of Us

The first two weeks of Colette’s entrance into our lives were, to say the least, traumatic. The first night we brought her home, she was bawling her lungs out pretty much the entire night. We fed her, carried her, cuddled her, cleaned her, swaddled her and prayed that she would go to sleep. But no…. she » Read More

A busy week!

It’s been a busy and eventful week! The Big Move First of all, Tim and I decided that since Cristan is 3+ months old coming to 4 months, he really should get used to sleeping in his own room by himself. He had actually started out sleeping in his room with the confinement nanny in the first » Read More
