[Workshop Review] Calligraphy Workshop by The Letter J Supply

May 3, 2015

I’ve been dabbling with modern calligraphy since last year. I’ve watched some Youtube videos, went through a couple of online lessons and practised occasionally but I’ve never attended a proper calligraphy class yet. It wasn’t until this year that modern calligraphy and handwritten artworks have become wildly popular and calligraphy classes ...

[Giveaway] Abbott’s #MyKidsPotential Quiz + Goodie Pack Giveaway

April 26, 2015

What was your childhood ambition? What did you want to be when you grow up? I had so many childhood dreams, I can’t quite remember which ones I was really serious about! Now that I have my own child, I can’t help but wonder what Laurent will grow up to be like, what strengths will he possess and what profession will he undertake in the future. ...

[Blog Train] Day in a Life of…

April 9, 2015

If you have been following my blog, you would have known that Laurent has already started on Infant Care and no, I’m not leading a tai tai life (sadly). I started working the very first day we left Laurent at the Childcare, which means I’ve officially been a full-time working mum (FTWM) for more than a month! Days as a Stay at Home ...

[Blog Train] Embracing Motherhood

April 4, 2015

Last weekend, Laurent stayed over with his grandparents as Wayne and I had something to attend to that night. When we returned home from the event, we quickly washed up and were ready to hit the sack within an hour. But both of us ended up tossing around in bed because we seldom sleep so early nowadays. Most nights, after we return home from a ...

Thank You and Good Bye, Mr Lee

March 29, 2015

It’s the 7th day since the passing of Mr LKY, the day of his funeral. Since the day PM Lee broke the much dreaded news officially, the nation has been expressing our grieve for Mr Lee’s passing and gratitude for all that he has done for the nation in our own little ways. Overwhelmed by an unexpected degree of sorrow that very morning, I penned ...

Baby L – Starting Infant Care

March 14, 2015

It has been less than 2 weeks since Laurent started going to infant care and I am already missing the precious mornings we spent snuggling in bed (yes, even with his feet and hands all over my face), his excited squeals in the bathtub during his morning baths and hearing his cute little snores while I’m pumping during his naps. I’ve had the ...

[Workshop Review] Book Binding Workshop by The Thistle Bindery

March 7, 2015

Hi, my name is Dawn and I’m a workshop-a-holic. No, I don’t need help. So yes, I just came to a realisation that I love going for workshops to learn and explore new things. So much that I think I’m becoming a workshop junkie! Knowing my obsession with attending workshops, Wayne actually planned for us to attend a half day workshop as part of ...

Baby L – Us at 6 months old

January 23, 2015

I know I’ve been repeating it for the umpteenth time but I can’t help lamenting on how fast time is passing and how quickly Laurent is growing up! He has now past the half-way mark of his status as a baby and looking at him everyday, I almost didn’t realise how much he has changed and grown! Where did all the baby-ness go?! He almost look like ...

[Crafts & DIY] Prayer Notebook

January 16, 2015

To be completely honest, I’m still in the midst of settling into the new year. I’ve yet to get my 2015 planner and set my goals for the year. In fact, I’ve not even sat down for a deep, introspective reflection of the past year like I used to. And I have half written blogposts piling up in my draft section. In the midst of researching which ...
