Cass attended her 5th pop piano course at Yamaha last Saturday. She was introduced to the bass clef (left hand on the piano) and learned some theory in her 5th lesson. Cass can now play a handful of simple songs from the book on her keyboard that her grandaunt has lent us. When she goes…
Cass came back from school today with hair that looked as if she was just caught in a typhoon. Her plastic bun holder was almost falling off from her hair. The black hair clips were dangling loosely from her hair. Strands of hair were straying everywhere. I was curious to know why her hair was…
On the 3rd day of CNY, we went to Avenue K for a late lunch at our favorite ramen restaurant – Bankara Ramen. After lunch, everyone had their dose of retail therapy and bought what they wanted. Dinner was at one of my favorite restaurants at Avenue K – WonderMama X. WonderMama X serves inimitable…

Our drama queen will turn 10 tomorrow! Also known as the social butterfly, what makes her happiest is being with her besties. She pestered her dad to allow her to bring along 2 besties for lunch today. We had brunch at Nutmeg @ Bangsar Village. The girls played with each other more than they ate. …

One of our most enjoyable meals in New Zealand was at Puhoi Valley Cafe & Cheese Store, about over an hour’s drive from Auckland. It is nestled in an idyllic valley surrounded by native bush. The cafe is a good size and opens out onto a large deck with seating under umbrellas. There were also…
