MacDonald’s, Rite Pizza, instant noodles, food cooked with pre-mixes… Yes, we resort to eating such stuff. Sometimes once in a while, other times a few times a week! So no, our meals are not balanced nor healthy. There are even many meals where no vegetables or fruits appear! Why? Well, the intention is always there […] Read more…

Myth #6 : We Must Be Very Rich
I suppose if you follow the world’s rules and standards, we MUST be very rich in order to afford the 6, soon to be 7 children we have. The other assumption people have when they look at us is to assume that we have reaped a windfall from the Singapore government and they are quickly doing their […] Read more…
Myth #5 : I Don’t Ever Shout at the Children
Hahahahahahahaha! Do you see me gasping for breath, tears rolling down my face and holding my sides as I rolled on the floor laughing hysterically at this one? Not shout at the children – ever??? Oh my, oh dear….That would be a dream! 🙂 The fact that I stay home with the children should […] Read more…
Myth #4 : I am a disciplined/organised person
I may be slightly more organised than most people but I would hardly describe myself as organised or disciplined. I like things to be organised around me (chaos is very distracting) but that does not mean that I love to organise things or that it comes naturally to me. If left alone, I’d be too […] Read more…
Myth #3 : I am very patient
or that I must love children…. Sadly, I have never been a patient person. Life would probably be a lot easier if I had been born one. And I never did like children too much. I didn’t hate them but I am one those rare women who does NOT go around cooing at babies or asking […] Read more…

The Bible says : Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward Psalm 127:3 So those who have many children must be more spiritual that the rest, right? And that’s why we have been rewarded with many children? WRONG!!! I don’t think the bible infers that at […] Read more…
Myth #1 : I am a Superwoman
I need to get this out of the way coz I hear it a lot and it makes me really uncomfortable. I am not a superwoman. I am not a supermom. And, no, I don’t do it all nor do I try! Most times people look at the various roles I perform and conclude, mistakenly, that I […] Read more…

Addictions
Hi! My name is Serene and I am a computer addict. Aaarrgghh! It dawned upon me recently that I am actually rather addicted to the computer! And I was addicted, till recently, to coffee and retail therapy as well! I have realised that for me, my addictions are a form of escapism. When I am stressed, I turn […] Read more…
Mom’s not invisible!
Sometimes I think no one really cares that the floors are squeaky clean or not. And that no one ever thinks HOW their dirty clothers magically re-appear washed and ironed. They only holler for me when they can’t find clean underwear or a paricular outfit they want to wear. 🙁 Often times, I have to keep […] Read more…
