This is one title that I didn’t have to break my head over as it flowed out naturally when I started writing. “Corona” – Unless you happen to live in a surreal world, meditating peacefully in a hut on the Himalayas, blissfully unaware of the turmoil that the world is going through, you would know… {Read More}
Creative Writing at Faust – A Review
“I want to become an author Mummy!” said my little 7-year old when he came home one day after doing a ‘Story Writing’ session at school. I just smiled at him saying “Sure! Why not?” knowing fully well that the new-found obsession would soon die a natural death just like most of his other one-night… {Read More}
Hiking your way through CNY

Mo Tat Wan – a peaceful paradise
A deserted beach in the heart of a bustling city? Too good to be true and yet this vast expanse of sand and sea lined with a canopy of green hills with no one but my son in sight is just what I am experiencing right now! A pleasant 25 minute ferry ride from Aberdeen brings… {Read More}
Holidays with older children
One of the best things about writing a blog is that you get to revisit your memories in great detail. My blog is 4 years old now and it’s so much fun to sit back and laugh through past posts, events, incidents. Whether it was about how inundated I felt managing housework, family, kids leaving no time… {Read More}
Chinese New Year Holiday – House arrest!
It’s that time of the day when I need to talk, share my fears, voice my emotions and just be heard. That’s exactly when I switch on my laptop and start writing a post. My blog doesn’t judge, doesn’t voice it’s opinion, it just lets my thoughts flow as my fingers effortlessly type away. Well its been quite a… {Read More}
After-school activities – Finding the right balance
“Finally!” I sighed and put my pen down. It had taken me three full weeks to research, plan and finalise the activities for my children to do this summer. It sounds easy but isn’t so.
