she asked me, “Mama, can you teach me how to write all these?” pointing to the digits and letters that I have just written down for the Angel. Oh, how can I not love to bits and pieces such an endearing and precocious 3 year old.

To celebrate Fathers’ Day, I bought old school watches from TotallyHotStuff for everyone! Remember when we were young and nearly everyone will have the same old school style watch with stopwatch function and alarm. My angels are loving it!

Finally checked out Things We Forget (a Made in Singapore Post It Note Production) after putting it off for eons! Reminds me of The Interesting Thoughts of Edward Monkton! Both inspiring and uplifting. My kind of art, my kind of thoughts, my kind of people! Check them out!
