Do you take supplements?
Do you take supplements? I have been taking calcium/vit D supplement for more than 10 years. I take them because I dislike dairy products and so, I think that I do not have enough natural calcium intake. Hubby never took supplements. He used to say that findings on studies on the effectiveness and benefits of Continue reading

Getting back a lost iPad
3 March 2025 Took a Scoot flight to Osaka. 6 March 2025 Hubby realised that his laptop was missing. He wasn’t sure if he had left it at home or misplaced it along the way. Dropped my helper back home a message to search for it at home. She replied that it was not at Continue reading

My experience in coffee painting
I am lefthanded. But contrary to the common belief that lefties are creative and artistic, I am terrible in art and craft and in particular drawing and painting. I recall attending painting classes every Saturday afternoon at an art school situated at Chip Bee Gardens when I was young. How I disliked my classes and Continue reading

The highlight of my trip to Osaka. To see my mom’s hometown.
At my last holiday to Japan last year, I blogged about how my three days at Kamikochi was the highlight of my trip. In my recent trip to Japan, where Hubby, Younger Son and I went to Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, I think the highlight of my trip was the day I went to explore Continue reading

The winning streak
I spend hours on my mobile phone daily. I use a bible app daily. I use Spotify when I practise my drumming. I play Spotify when I’m driving and the radio is too boring. I learn Japanese on Duolingo (and that takes up quite some time!). Every night, I chill by watching drumming clips and Continue reading

2024 – near and far
The year-end cool breezy weather is finally here. Once again, I find the joy of having my breakfast tea at my front porch. For most of the year, this outdoor dining table is an obsolete piece of furniture. It’s too hot to dine alfresco. There’s the constant threat of getting bitten by an Aedes mosquito Continue reading

My experience at Kamikochi
At Kamikochi, you see a wide variety of tourists. We saw quite a lot from Thailand and Taiwan (from their language and accents). There were also a lot of local tourists. One bunch that stood out for me were the eldery Japanese. They looked in their 70s. Yet, they walked with a brisk gait. Few Continue reading

Beethoven, the king of classic rock
I was very happy this week as I got to catch up with an old JC classmate for dinner. After dinner, we attended a concert at the Victoria Concert Hall. SSO was playing Beethoven’s fifth symphony, one of my all-time favourite pieces. Our first treat of the evening was a starter of calamari. It was Continue reading

This is home, truly.
Home is where I want my family to be comfortable in. I want to build a home where family members feel that they can be themselves and be accepted for who they are. As a homemaker, I also want to provide good memories for my two sons and my husband about what home is. When Continue reading

Married for 25 years today
What’s it like to be married for 25 years? Well, I’ve now been married so long that it doesn’t bother me at all that I had to remind Hubby last night that it’s our ROM anniversary today. I used to take it personally in the early years, but now, I know him inside out. He Continue reading
About Me
I turned 50 last year! I used to think that 50 is middle-aged, but actually, since the life expectancy for females in Singapore is around 86, I have already lived more than half my life span.
Similar to my old blog https://hdbtaitaidotblog.wordpress.com/, this blog is a platform where I express my observations, thought and feelings about anything that interests me.
Welcome to my ordinary world.
