10 common mistakes made by first time maid employers

16/01/2017 by Dr Donna Chow 2 Comments
A broken ornament caused by a careless helper

Not too long ago, I shared my “10 commandments on hiring a maid” on facebook and it generated quite a lot of feedback from both supporters and naysayers. Majority – I would say, supported my views; while a minority claimed that the list was too harsh. After gathering feedback on these 10 commandments, I decided to rewrite these rules in more palatable … [Read more…]

Will a good primary school make a difference?

31/12/2016 by Dr Donna Chow Leave a Comment
Going to school

A recent conversation with a fellow parent triggered some thought provoking questions to my mind. We were sharing some tips on primary school admission – her child was 3 years old and mine was a few months short of 2 years. Both of us agreed that a good primary school would have a significant impact on the child’s future and not all schools are … [Read more…]

The Terrible Two

The little man in swim suit

Recently, Ah Boy, as what we have affectionately called him, has been showing signs of The Terrible Two. He is no longer the baby who give us no trouble and sits quietly to play his “car car” in the baby cot. One fine night, he attempted a circus stunt and fell head long onto the floor because he refused … [Read more…]

Doodling on the whiteboard

I believe many parents are willing to invest in good quality toys to stimulate a child’s learning and creativity at an early age. When I shop for toys, I often find myself asking these few questions; Do I already have something similar to this toy? Will it add to the clutter in my house? Can he still … [Read more…]

Wake up to yummy golden brown pancakes

Recently, I have been tasked to write a short recipe for Nestlé CERELAC® Baby Cereal. The idea of making golden brown pancakes instantly came to my mind. Babies love yummy and fluffy pancakes! And I love them too. But I have never made pancakes from scratch. Pancake mix is readily available at supermarkets – making … [Read more…]

A dreadful mistake

23/08/2016 by Dr Donna Chow Leave a Comment
Be alert when you use your handphone

A few nights ago, I made a dreadful mistake. I was capturing a photo for my carousell ad and after uploaded the photo, I decided to delete it to “save space” on my handphone. Little did I know that when I click the button “delete”, I deleted the entire camera album. It all happened in a matter … [Read more…]

Hand carry expressed breast milk on Singapore Airlines

My boy enjoying his milk

Recently I returned from a work trip to Bangkok. Initially, I was quite reluctant to travel alone because I was still pumping breast milk religiously three times a day. I was afraid of leaving my comfort zone and having to deal with a strange environment. Though it was a short 3 day training workshop cum conference, … [Read more…]

One year old cake smash photography

21/07/2016 by Dr Donna Chow Leave a Comment
Cute baby thoughts

Nowadays, it’s quite common for mummies to organise cake smash party for their one year old. It’s a western tradition which has been popularised by the influence of Internet. I first came across this idea when I was online shopping at etsy (a great platform for craftaholics). An Internet search for cake smash images yield many … [Read more…]

My clarinet version of our NDP song by Kit Chan. Finally reunited with my clarinet after being apart for nearly a quarter of a century. 
Pardon me for my rusty skills. Decided to pick it up again during the circuit breaker period. 

Attached with the full lyrics:

Home - Kit Chan
Whenever I am feeling low
I look around me and I know
There's a place that will stay within me
Wherever I may choose to go
I will always recall the city
Know every street and shore
Sail down the river which brings us life
Winding through my Singapore
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
When there are troubles to go through
We'll find a way to start anew
There is comfort in the knowledge
That home's about its people too
So we'll build our dreams together
Just like we've done before
Just like the river which brings us life
There'll always be Singapore
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
This is home truly, where I know I must be
Where my dreams wait for me, where the river always flows
This is home surely, as my senses tell me
This is where I won't be alone, for this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know it's home
For this is where I know I'm home
