With self-care, self-compassion and taking care of my body being among my top priorities for the year, I was thrilled when HYPOXI® Singapore asked if I wanted to work with them to end the year on a trimmer, fitter & toner note. OF COURSE, SIGN ME UP ALREADY! It couldn’t have come at a better timing, I had consecutive holiday plans to Taipei, Hong Kong & Macau upcoming, and I was ... Read More
We need to judge and shame less
My morning started out happy, as captured in this photo (this was taken just before we went for our mom-bub date this morning), so little did I anticipate that my afternoon would be the complete opposite. You've heard parenting buzzwords: "mom guilt", "breast bullying", "pacifier suckers".Well, today I was on the receiving end of "parenting shaming". Those with kids will know that young kids ...

Natty is so certified in Google Adwords Fundamentals and Display!…and so proud of Liam
Ahh, in case anyone is ever, remotely interested in my work... after dedicating 2 full days of re-learning some of Google's products in detail, I'm happy to blog an entry for myself - I'm back to being an Adwords Certified Professional! *throws confetti in the air* The last time I was certified was when I first made the switch from traditional media to digital media back in 2010, so indeed, ...

Turning 33
I cried on the morning on my 33rd birthday, during my commute to work. It was peak hour, the train was going a lot slower than it ought to, and I was swamped amidst peak-hour crowd. Maybe it was the pushing and shoving, or the seemingly warm temperature in the cabin which was getting to me. Maybe my brain decided that it could no longer bear my pensive state of emotions without involving the ... Read More
Ready for you, 2017!
And just like that, 2016 came and went. "What a year, can't wait for it to be over", I texted my BFF as I waited 4 minutes to countdown with the family. "But that's what you said about 2015!" she reminded me. *** As much as I wasn't too attached to 2016 enough to miss it in the first few hours of 2017, it sure wasn't as shitty as end-2014 & 2015. Much to my disbelief, quite a lot ... Read More
You only get one life. #MeBeforeYou
I don't think a novel has ever affected me in such a big way since Motherhood. I practically buried my nose in it for the last 4 mornings and nights - sacrificing morning naps on the bus for more pages of Lou Clark and Will Traynor, (almost) walking into walls, coaxing the boys to sleep at an earlier bedtime - just so that I could read even more pages and re-read the witty banter and dialogue ...

And so I turned 32
My 32nd birthday came and went despite my best efforts to have it planned. There were intentions to make good use of the company's staff "birthday leave" benefit by spending it with the 3 boys, with hopes that we would end the night over dinner and drinks, couple style. But of course, the best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray. The husband had to cancel his leave last minute. We ... Read More
2016 – Time to start something new and trust the magic of new beginnings
Happy New Year! How did your first weekend of 2016 go? Our was filled with the way I wanted to start off the year - spending time with our loved ones. We spent New Year's Day with mom, catching over dim sum and shopping for Chinese New Year'16 stuff in Chinatown before taking the boys to the park for a run. It was Ollie's first park adventure ever since he started walking 2 months ago, and he ... Read More
2015 – a year of unexpectedness
2015, what a year. I remember starting out the year unsure of what I wanted to make the year to be about. After all, I had barely recovered from the tumultuous year of change 2014 threw at us, and was absolutely thankful that we were able to start 2015 happily as a family, spending quality time together filled with fun trips to Universal Studios Singapore, the beach, various outdoor playgrounds ...

Summarising Sweet September
September was a really special & significant month for me. It was a special month for me because it was Ollie's birth month. Seeing how our little Ollie grew from the pint size cutie that he was when we brought him to our new home to the chubby, cheeky boy that he's grown to become made my heart weep with joy and contentment. Oh how I wished I could re-live moments from his first 12 months ... Read More
