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 [...]
I was determined not to count down last night. I put on Modern Family (love that show!) and disappeared into it, pointedly ignoring the clock, planning to emerge on the other side. I forgot about the fireworks. At the stroke of midnight, bangs and double booms and pops began and went on for a good [...]
With just one day to go before the New Year, I’m excited. The last 12 months have passed by far too quickly, but I think I’ve made the most of them. I don’t remember ever being bored, I love what I’m doing, and I am looking forward to what 2012 will bring. There have been [...]
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.
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Inspired by the many TV shows that have wrapped up for the summer, I find myself wanting to “wrap up” things in my life as well.
I’ve closed the book on Brothers & Sisters, which has not been renewed for another season, and which I will miss terribly. I’ve closed – slammed shut, to be [...]
I’m sure you’ve heard about the side effects of motherhood – lack of sleep, no time for yourself, poor diet, zero exercise…
It’s all true. I’m working on getting enough sleep, eating healthily and doing at least some exercise once a week, but I’m yet to figure out a solution to the “no time for [...]
This is a post about PMS. And how it can totally ruin my marriage.
Before I had Kaylin, I’d never been one to suffer from PMS symptoms like mood swings and irritability. I’d just get bloated and crampy, which were wonderful excuses to eat all the chocolate and/or ice cream I wanted.
Recently, however, I [...]
