Media Invite Last Friday we were invited to the opening ceremony of Pokémon at Changi and I am very thankful that we were so we didn’t have to battle with a few thousand other people.

Of Music and Art: The Legend Retold 乐。艺：传奇新传 You might have read my previous post on the Singapore Chinese Orchestra.

Last week, we went to Lilliputt on a weekday mid-afternoon. It was great fun for the kids, and all three of them enjoyed it very much!

Maybe I’ve never really felt comfortable in heels, either because I’m too clumsy, or gangly (the downside of being tall!), but after having kids I’ve come to realise that I really love living in flats.
