After one week of pin drop silence, I finally received a phone call from a representative of Mount Pleasant Veterinary Group. She told me her name was Betty and she has just started her new role at Mount Pleasant not long ago on the 1st Jan. I expressed my surprise that Mount Pleasant is unable … [Read more…]
After Ah Bee’s story was posted on social media, I received an overwhelming response in the form of public comments, private email messages and well-wishes from friends and strangers alike. Many of them shared with me their unfortunate encounters with vets across the island. Due to a lack of time, I apologize I am not … [Read more…]
I am writing this post with great pain and heartache. For those who personally know me, you will be aware how much Ah Bee, my miniature schnauzer, means to me.

When my first son was born, my milk supply was extremely low and I struggled to pump breast milk for him. Breast feeding does not come naturally to me. Not everyone is blessed with abundant breast milk supply and has surplus milk to store in the freezer. As a friend puts in aptly; God has … [Read more…]
Recently, we brought our baby, now an active toddler, to Taiwan in early September. The trip was a last minute decision to fill in an excursion for his school holiday, and also an outing with him alone before baby arrives next year.
