Like so many people, I found out about Steve Jobs’ passing on my iPhone. I was in Changi Airport, about to have breakfast, on my second day trip to Singapore.
Like so many people, I read the tributes, tweeted my thoughts, and watched his Stanford commencement speech from 2005. Steve said many inspiring things, but [...]
The family took a trip to Pavilion a couple of weeks back (I say “trip” because we ran a few other errands and it became quite the excursion, plus I was exhausted by the end of it) and while the men did some shopping, I finally did two things I’ve always meant to do but [...]
My biggest peeve about KL is that there’s no beach. I love the beach and I haven’t been in the ocean for far, far too long. I miss the smell of the sea, the splashing of waves as I walk along the water’s edge, and I miss scuba diving although that’s quite a different [...]
My brother is currently doing his A-Levels and planning to read law in university. My mum is over the moon. She had wanted me to do law, and if none of her four children are going to be doctors – my youngest sister is studying veterinary science but that doesn’t really count with Chinese parents [...]
Isn’t this little thingy adorable? I got it from missusD on Etsy. Missus D (or Kat) is a friend of mine who’s currently based in Munich, Germany, and she creates these cute little things with crochet that make me wish I were more creative and not so rubbish at arts and crafts. [...]
This is my manicure… less than one hour after I got it done. That’s right, less than one hour. I have no idea how it happened – one minute it was fine, the next minute it was ohmygawd – but I do know this is not the first time this has happened to me.

In an effort to better my writing and reignite my love for books, I have decided to start reading more.
I’ve just read Wuthering Heights, and was amazed by how privileged people back in the 19th century seemingly passed days, weeks, months and years doing nothing but eating, getting dressed and undressed, taking walks/riding ponies [...]
As it turns out, the first step to (re)figuring out my life is simply telling myself that I’m going to do it.
It sounds like a very duh thing to say, but for me, the mental shift has been quite a pleasant surprise.
In telling myself and giving myself permission to truly explore what I [...]
MA gave me this cute baby record book when Kaylin was born, knowing how much I’d love making the lists in it. I’ve been wanting to put it together, but haven’t quite found the time and determination to collect and develop two dozen photographs. (I’ve already filled in all the details, of course.)
So a [...]
In conjunction with my 29th birthday next month, among other reasons, I am dedicating the next 12 months to me. Without realising it, I’ve become complacent about my life, preferring instead to let each day/week/month pass me by far too easily. It’s time to stop and give myself a good kick up the arse.
Where [...]

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
