Our weekends usually start with breakfast with the gramps at a nearby coffee shop.
Here is Xy playing with our food money.
Then we return home, cook the little ones’ meals, catch a brief breather. After Xy wakes up from her nap, we feed and change her and head out.
Ms Poh likes to have some [...]

I like it when a public holiday falls on a Saturday because our office is usually closed on the following Monday.
Since it was a non-working day for me, I went about my off-day routine – I had breakfast with KJ near his office and worked a couple of hours there. Then I ran a [...]

So I took the plunge and bought a new digital camera, the Sony TX-1.
Image borrowed from Sony
Truth be told, my old camera (also a Sony, a T-100) was severely under-utilized. We already carry around KJ’s DSLR (again a Sony, A100 – this is what you would expect when one works for the company) on [...]

It was as if my head was in the clouds recently. I kept making blunders that it is not funny!
Just today, I discovered that I deleted my plane tickets confirmation for my vacation. There was a brief panic (did I even book the tickets?) until I realised I could call the airline and ask for [...]

If I were to visit IMM during my lunch hour, I spend a big chunk of it willing my time away at Daiso.
Sometimes you find the unlikeliest things there that would amuse a toddler.
Like these shredded paper which is usually used for gift wrapping. Xy had a wonderful time with them.
I [...]

I have been looking for a nice weekend bag.
Something with wide straps that will not slip off my shoulders when I chase my toddler around, large enough for necessities plus a small digital camera, an extra diaper and change of clothes for Xy. Or something light and small just roomy enough for a wallet and [...]

These caught my roving eye -

All so simple yet stunning, especially those from the Noisy Plume. I’ve always been a huge fan and her pieces just fly off the shelf once they are listed! In fact, sales are so brisk that her new Etsy listings never got to appear [...]

I was hunting for a very belated birthday present for my friend Rachel and chanced upon this.
Joy, Faith, Love – For all necklace
The owner of LoonSongDesign, Gina, has kindly agreed to customise the necklace to put the names of Rachel’s 3 beautiful children on the pendants. Even if she does not wear it, I [...]

Dear Suntec City
My family and I visit your mall every other weekend because you have a great variety of eateries. We like bringing our 14-month old to look at the dizzying display of toys at Carrefour and Toys R Us. You have Gap, Aldo, Bird and Fossil which we love. Apart from IT/PC/COMEX/SITEX seasons, parking [...]

As planned, we joined the infamous line at LV, popped into Tod’s, dived into shelves and shelves of household appliances at Tangs.
My mum and I chatted freely, ate leisurely, shopped aimlessly. It was wonderful.
Together, we drooled over the Mini Lin. I was hugely disappointed to be informed that my coveted D bag is not [...]
