Pilot theme birthday

17/02/2023 by Dr Donna Chow Leave a Comment

My younger boy turns 5 years old in January. Every year, I would bake a special theme cake to mark this special occasion. For now, both boys love being pilots – thanks to Daddy’s unfulfilled childhood ambition of being a pilot. They were inspired after playing the flight simulator on Nintendo, and were always eyeing … [Read more…]

Mindon on his second birthday

I haven’t posted for a while. Not since Ah Bee’s 10th birthday celebration – on which we ordered a custom birthday cake for him. For the past 4 weeks, there seems to be a renewed interest in home baking as a lot of us (myself included) have more free time on our hands. Therefore, I … [Read more…]

Ah Bee turns ten

10 golden years

In the blink of an eye, Ah Bee is now officially 10 years old. If you have owned a dog, you would probably know that one year of a dog’s life is almost equivalent to 7 years of human’s life. That would mean that our dear Bee, whom we have raised since he was a … [Read more…]

My second breastfeeding journey

23/04/2018 by Dr Donna Chow Leave a Comment
My trusty Spectra S1 and Boppy nursing pillow

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…]

Shopping for new baby

As a first time mum 3 years ago, I was completely overwhelmed with shopping for baby #1. I sourced for checklists online and bought “almost” everything I could find. And I was so worried about missing out anything. But now, with #2, I have become more chilled and relaxed about shopping, especially when my first … [Read more…]

Nourishing Black Bean Chinese Soup

Home made black bean soup

I have been wanting to cook some healthy Chinese soup lately and looking at various online recipes for ideas. The soup which we got from our tingkat delivery has been rather bland and diluted – it is as if they poured in lots of water to make more volume. So I came across this black bean … [Read more…]

11/03/2017 by Dr Donna Chow 2 Comments
Are you paying too much for your online shopping?

If you are a habitual online shopper, you would have come across Taobao – the largest and most comprehensive e-commerce platform in China. Many Singaporeans shop on Taobao and ship in their purchases either using the 4 main Taobao international parcel forwarding services (4PX, DPEX, DEX and PRouter) or through Ezbuy Ship-for-me / Prime (formerly … [Read more…]

I will give you a tour of my backyard and the edibles I grow in my garden.

This includes a papaya tree planted in a pot,  watermelon plant with baby fruits, my crop of cabbage, my lime plant, chilli padi plants, cherry tomato plants, popular herbs such as rosemary, sweet basil and mint. 

Not to forget my hardy sweet potato leaves which I harvest weekly to cook sambal chilli with.

Maintaining an edible garden can be both hard work and fun.
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
