Anyone who’s a hands-on mum will tell you how impossible it is to devote much time to yourself. I gets lots of help from my in-laws and kakak, and even then it’s pretty hard to carve out me-time. Work doesn’t count. I want to read more, watch more good movies and TV shows, look at [...]
A little bit of awesomeness to start the still-new year. Taken from here.
This is Kaylin, putting on lip balm while on Skype with grandpa because she wants to show him what she’s learned to do. I think the little princess is growing up far too quickly, but I must say I’m starting to enjoy dressing her up.
Honestly, when she was born, I had no idea [...]
Some time ago, I wrote about how I was (and still am) on this quest to figure out what my dreams are and what I want. It was liberating and exciting, and it’s something I’m glad I did. That said, I’m now learning that maybe not all my dreams are achievable, and that’s okay.

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.

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 [...]
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
