Many of us would have seen this piece of news last week, as MOE announces that it plans to scrap mid year exams for certain levels in primary and secondary school. This is met with a lot of positive reviews but at the same time, there were certainly quite a lot of individuals out there…
Is happiness a choice or a matter of circumstance? Another one of those feel-good philosophical question that perhaps have been discussed a gazillion times in other articles and posts. There is also a movie and book with the same title (although I think that’s more of a realistic, inspiring, yet brutally honest account of an…
To all our readers, We have a piece of exciting news to share with you! Here it goes……drumroll….. We just had baby number 2! No, it’s not that I just found out that I am pregnant and we are having the baby next year – literally, I had just delivered our second child. And it’s…
