I get a phone call at 8.30am and hear someone say:
“Hi Sophia, this is Darren Hayes.”
Okay, it’s not everyday I get a phone call at 8.30am full-stop, but for the former frontman of Savage Garden, I think I’ll make an exception. Remember this?
It’s [...]
My colleague got her handbag snatched this week. Right in front of the office! It was about 5.20pm and she was opening her car door to get in when a Malay guy who was standing nearby pretending to talk on the phone snatched her bag, ran to an accomplice on a motorbike, and the two [...]
I like this pic – for soppy reasons. These kids were trying to persuade me to buy their wares for “one dollar”, and the little girl on the left demonstrated much entrepreneurial potential when she changed her tune from “three for one dollar” to “four from one dollar” after about three minutes of trailing [...]

Day 2: Ta Prohm Temple

Why: I wanted to see Angkor Wat. Plus, I never turn down an opportunity to travel.
(I just realised there are way too many pictures for me to put them all up.)
(But I’ll try.)
Day 1: Tonle Sap
Just before we took this [...]
So maybe going on Facebook wasn’t the most happening way to ring in the New Year, but it’s been a pretty good start all the same. G, C and J did manage some kind of a countdown in between Winning Eleven games, and considering four out of six of us that night were stricken [...]
HEY THERE
Sophia is a writer and a mum. She is passionate about entertainment, sports and telling a good story. She is occasionally nerdy. This is where she talks a little bit about work, but mostly about her path to supermum-hood. Or so she likes to imagine.TWEETS
