I had no idea that renovating a 90 sqm flat would result in so many things to be done. First off, I want to state what I have learnt so far below.
Look for an ID (Interior Designer) early, a year before you get your keys, you never know how many you want to meet until you find one whom you feel comfortable with.
Always be there for your flat during the renovatio... Read More »

It is a month since the official certificate has been submitted. That way, the HDB will not keep pushing for it. It also means that despite being legal, the customary still has to be done before we can actually live together. Kind of scary since I have never done that before.
I have seen friends who have been apart even after solemnisation and I wondered how they h... Read More »

It had been rather eventful for the past few months. Starting from March, I had been busy with the renovations for the flat, I must add, tiny flat. Okay, so I'm asking for a lot when it comes to tiny Singapore but hey, one can always wish for a bigger size unit. The renovations are now nearly done, save for the lights and installation for the kitchen sink and all.

In just a few days, Father's Day is coming up. For those who are already fathers, congratulations! For those who are trying hard, you can do it! I don't have much memories of my father during my younger days. He was often out of the home working very hard to bring home some money for the family. All his efforts were the ways that he knew on how to bring home money bac... Read More »

These days, my mum kept steaming sweet potatoes for breakfast. It's a humbling moment as it reminds me of how we start when we were born. Today is my day and it's a slow morning. I like the pace as I'm still not fully awake despite the body being awake. My mind is just starting to rev up to kick start the day, perhaps the rain has slowed me down somewhat.
Humble ba... Read More »

Shoes are the staple of our lives if we are to go out there and keep meeting friends, relatives and colleagues. They protect our feet. Callouses occur when the shoes are ill-fitted and I really prefer comfortable shoes even for the 1st time when wearing.
Therefore, stockings are for protecting my feet when I am wearing classy shoes like pumps and wedges. Covered sh... Read More »

Feeling rather impacted by a colleague whose husband of just a few months who passed away recently due to an accident. He was pinned under a lorry on his way to work and his life was snuffed out just like that. Life is fragile. She is just a few years younger than me and I believe she has a baby coming too.
Although I don't speak to her much, colleagues who have sp... Read More »

Having been around schools, mostly primary schools for the past 2 years gave me some new things to learn. The most interesting part is the names that kids have these days. Half the time, I struggle to pronounce them correctly with the kids being impacted correcting me.
In the end, I ask them, "So, how do I pronounce your name?" Once the child has informed me, I rep... Read More »

I have a good family. While I may not come from a super rich family whereby my father is able to leave me a sum of money to last me for the rest of my life, he provides to the best of his abilities for the family. So does my mother. Time with the both of them is precious since they are dyeing their hair more now.
When I see the current situation, I often want t... Read More »

*drum rolls* I've found an educational job in a primary school. Waking up at 4.30am because the travelling time just sucks up my precious 24 hours daily. Not that I mind too much since the kids have been rather entertaining than me trying to get them to interact with me during the lessons.
The kids have this sense of curiousity that amuses me. Their huge eyes will ... Read More »
